I agree. DarthDurron is getting the extra twist now.

To the new owners! There is a rule that I want to make sure is clear: When you upload your WIS roster after you've selected your team, you will be short players. When I check the teams, I am checking against the Baseballreference.com line up which means, that players that are not automatically on the WIS roster, but ARE on the BR.com Roster, ARE eligible to be twisted and will ultimately fill in empty roster spots. You do not have to use them or upload them if they do not work for your team. In that case, you may revert to selecting players from the previous 3 season of your selected team.

There was a good discussion for the 1904 season where we got that cleared up and I think it has worked out pretty well.

I'm ready to go ... when is this gonna happen?

On another note: when I was downloading teams in my WIS Draft Center to check out the various 1905 teams, there was no Washington Nationals team nor Boston Nationals team that came up. Wazzup with that?

Well, you're picking 6th so You might be fine. But, Look for the Beaneaters for the Boston Nationals. Washington Nationals are still the Washington Senators on WIS. Not sure why the name difference.

I have sent everyone an email letting you know that we are good with the final draft order. Pmars2001 has the first pick. We are a go when he makes his selection. I can't stress this enough for the new guys, as the returning owners can attest, getting the higher pick or selecting the best team from that actual year, doesn't mean anything in this league.
