That is cool.  Glad you're an A's fan.  I'm looking forward to some warm summer nights in the left field bleachers in a couple of months.

I would like to be put on the list.   Sounds fun.

on second thought, i agree on team randomization once we get all the owners chosen.

That's great, and I hope you're able to get it started as soon as possible.  But it's been a month since I've had 32 owners ready to go for another world (which has been approved), and admin hasn't pulled the trigger yet.

Interesting...any reason as to why?

Indeed! Although, I am in the group that can't wait for them to finally get out of that rathole and into a new stadium....be it in Oakland, San Jose, Fremont or whatever!

Agreed.  Now that Minnesota has its new park and Florida is building its new stadium, the Coliseum is the last dual use stadium still in use.

Because there are too many openings.. or so they say.

With 180 worlds and approx. 90 days per season, an average of 2 worlds roll per day.  They're waiting until there are few openings coupled with worlds rolling that have historically low turnover.  The idea being that the new world will roll at about the same time as the currently rolling worlds come next season, so they want to have it start when there are few openings and when low turnover worlds are rolling.

Interesting....you'd think they'd clue us in upon giving the green-light....thanks fellas!

Empiire and I are hammering out the final draft of rules. They will be posted in this thread later.

Rough draft of the rules will be gone over by the newly formed committee in the next 24-48 hours. The window to get on the list is closing fast.

Window is closing on applicants....this may be your final opportunity to get in before we get down to screening...

What would happen if you would not be allowed to make bids on FA's and had to just offer their asking price?   Several teams would be trying for the services of the same player and the game would have to determine who gets him.   If you wait 1 day to try to get them for a cheaper price, you may be 1 day too late.   (not include IFA's)

The FA process would be simple you offer the demands of your player- Done

sentmail sent, Im interested in putting my name on the list.
thanks
