I'm interested in a $125 spot for Wednesday if you think they'll be enough players.

Thanks.

Greg,

I signed up online for the winner take all league this Wednesday but noticed that the league isn't posted on the thread. Just wanted to make sure this league was still up and that I was signed up for it.

Mike

15. Don Mathis This draft has been created, and e-mail invites have been sent. [/QUOTE]From my understanding of how this league works, the roster that you set for this period will result in you receiving the stats that have been accumulated by those starting 23 in the first half. Therefore, on day 1 of this league each team has 14 week’s worth of stats.

I am wondering how many of the owners that were in the top 3 on day 1 of the league finished in the money at year’s end.

I am not in this league and I’m not sure how many years it’s been run

First half stats are already up for the Don Mathis Mid Season league but I thought we had until gametime today (Thursday) to set our starting lineup

The first half stats will kick in tonight. I have a feeling that STATS just ran all leagues like usual and this was the only one that obviously would be affected. Once they run them tonight, they will be the official stats for the first half. Make your changes yet today and the league will officially begin tonight.

I'll reach out to STATS just to confirm, but no worries on this league. Set your starting lineups today for the best first half stats you can piece together.

Mike Mike and others who signed up over the weekend, I apologize if you didn't get a reply from anyone about the status of the mid-season leagues. Tom and I both left town this weekend and didn't have access to the signup page. We had about three owners who signed up for the Wednesday $125 league and I don't think anyone got back to them. I'm sorry about that. It's not often that Tom and I leave at the same time, but this time it was unavoidable.

Sorry again and don't worry about the payment. We never hit any of the credit cards for the unfilled leagues. Thanks for trying the mid-season leagues with us and I'm sorry that we failed to get back to you before last night.

Just a heads up that it appears that STATS is counting batter's pitching stats (Nick "The Curve" Swisher and Cody "When Did I Ever Pitch?" Ross).

Not that Don needs those two innings, as he looks to begin in first place. Nice draft, Don!!

Official first half stats don't run until after TONIGHT'S games. What you are seeing today isn't official, so make sure you have the players in your lineup tonight that you want to have for your first half stats.

I'll try to e-mail the group about this as well, but set your lineup tonight for the way you want your first half stats. Thanks.

I'll have it transferred in the next 10 minutes. Look for it soon on your team page and if you need help setting your lineup tonight just e-mail me.

Greg,

The standings for the Don Mathis League did not update last night to reflect Thursday's line-ups for 1st half statistics.

Chris Correct. They are re-running this league this morning. We are making a few lineup changes first and then this league will be re-run. Sorry for the delay on this one.
