Relax... there is always a delay. This happens every year. These themes are not easy, and most of us do have lives, and stuff. Everything will be resolved in a couple days... just like it is every year.

Well said.  Some people have other things going on and/or wait until the last minute.  The few stragglers left aren't holding anything up.  The commissioners are checking rosters and that takes a few days.  We'll be ready to start by the weekend.

My teams were 95% done except for the $80M which was a b*tch. I just forgot about the deadlines. The 80 is gonna kill me.

seemed clear to me too.  i can't understand why it takes people so damn long to get their teams in.  the requirements were posted a month ago.  either you are in or you aren't.  if you can't field your teams within 2 weeks of declaring your interest then you probably weren't going to do well anyway.  i have no patience for people who want to hold up everyone else.  
For me, the opposite is true.  I spent weeks on some of these teams.  If I had built all of my teams within two weeks then I probably wouldn't have done very well.
Wait...did I just jinx myself?

it's too much time for me. when I draft a team early and it just sits there I forget what my strategies were. when I spend several weeks on a team I do way too much tinkering ,after some point it's counter productive. and if i procrastinate then i could become part of the problem. even if we gave people a year to build their teams there would still be procrastinators.

I have rosters for 20 of the 24 teams (whcih means the rosters for the teams in these leagues have been approved).  Only 4 more leagues to go.

I assume it is safe to go ahead and change all of our team names to adhere to the theme requirements now?

Not yet, let's wait until all 24 leagues are done.  I know some teams are still making corrections.  I'll send out a site-mail.

I was worried about forgetting strategies too. I had to make myself get all the player settings done when I put the teams in, or else I would have forgotten all about what my plans were. There's a risk of wasting a lot of time there if you have to change a player, but it seemed worth it to me.

I feel the same as rbow - I had all my teams done within 2 days, got them entered within a day of the league #'s, and now I don't remember anything I was trying to do ha - luckily all my lineups are set and hopefully I can piece it all together!

sorry if i was too cranky.  i have a couple of prog leagues were it takes people weeks to enter their teams, which they've already drafted and there's really no thinking involve - just pay the damn money and hit submit.  so it's a peeve.  i had my teams in early.  drafting and tweeting is the most fun part for me.  i feel good about my teams, so obviously i'm ready for some heartbreak.  thanks to everyone for playing and schwarze for setting this puppy up.  i can't wait to start!!
