Rosters are up...

Thanks guys for helping us get these leagues straightened out. We entered 32 leagues this week either through Excel documents or special templates that included pulldown name menus. The non-40 man roster guys caused most of the confusion, although we obviously had troubles with players that had similar names (Javy Lopez and Javier Lopez). The goal is to get them straightened out and have every league up and running by this weekend, giving everyone the same amount of time next week as they prepare for that first FAAB period. It looks like we'll accomplish that goal.

Going forward, we'll look to improve the data entry process and having laptops at every league draft is the optimal way to go. I'm not sure it's economically feasible, but we'll see. Either way, I hope people can appreciate why we have the draft two weeks before Opening Day as it would be very tough to do the draft a week later and still have the first FAAB period before Opening Day. I'm not saying it can't be done, but for 2006 I'm convinced that Draft Day will again be the third weekend of March.

Again, e-mail Tom personally if you need roster changes. We'll get them perfect ASAP. But every league should be up and running now and we'll begin the first FAAB process next week, with the winning bids being announced on Sunday, April 3 at 6 p.m. EST. Good luck everyone and thanks again for your patience and your help.

Greg, thanks for the efforts, but if we can NOT do on the same weekend at the NCAAs that would be awesome....

Regards,

Chris

Hey, can anyone do a moneyball projection for my team just for curiousity sake. I will deal with the abuse about my team only being worthy of monopoly moneyball projections.

Just the cost of rooms, and the insane sausage fests at local bars ruined things for me...

Sausage fest???????? What bars were you in? Vegas always has ample eye candy for both sexes. I was lucky enough to get "hot" Nate Ravitz in my league.

Dave has been bringing me for opening weekend for 3 years.....can't change now. Follow the Pig's lead and don't change a thing.

We were at Mix, Ghost Lounge, etc... Even the strip bars were a disaster! Too many guys everywhere, felt like I was in a frat house...

After we get everything up and running here I'm going to have to remember to tell Nate he's got a fan in his league.
