Board is up to date



Guys, the vote on whether to use WIS Park as an available stadium was 6-3 against so therefore we will not be including it in the league. I will post a list of all ballparks soon--probably tonight. I don't expect anybody will want to draft a park this early, but basically it will be all pre-1900 parks plus exactly five parks that began their use in 1901. A full list will be forthcoming......

Yes, the clock will start tomorrow but we'll go 45 min rds Monday-Wednesday. This will allow us to complete full rounds (w/no partial rds) in a 12 hr day. After I get back and we go back on the clock, we'll go 30 min rds and extend the drafting schedule to 16 hrs and complete exactly 2 rds per day. Getting ready for my trip and wrapping everything up won't allow me to handle 16 hr drafting days until I get back.

I've got to go up to my office in a little while and will set the schedule while I'm up there. Too much going on here with kids/wife etc always getting in the way of WIS......

I'll also get the board up to date while I'm there. We'll finish out rd 2 on Monday and then complete rds 3-4 before going off the clock.

Board is up to date.

Anybody available for proxies, please post here.

My schedule is kind of unpredictable so in general I am available for proxies but if my boss or a client need something then without warning I can suddenly not be available. Therefore, if you send me a proxy, try to send it to at least one other.......

Also, Monday from about 12:30 to 2:00, I will not be available.



One more thing, you can't pick before your timeslot UNLESS all picks ahead of you are up to date. But, if all picks are caught up ahead of you, feel free and please do pick early if you can.

i just sent my Proxy List out to oldschool62 and meandterry, the picks right in front of and right behind me tomorrow... I wont be available because 5:30 to 6:15 is 2:30 to 3:15 for me, and that= wont be able to get to a computer besides on weekends...

If anybody else is available once I get their replies back, please SM me and I'll send you the list.



Thanks.
