Another note on the draft pool. Send in your requests for boxers you would like to see added to the draft by PM, that way no one will know who you're interested in.

The draft pool is full, so if one of the requested fighters is the same rating as one that's in the draft pool, I'll replace the draft pool boxer with the one requested.

Right now the draft pool has:
2 - 10 ratings
3 - 9 ratings
5 - 8 ratings
8 - 7 ratings
13 - 6 ratings
12 - 5 ratings
11 - 4 ratings
13 - 3 ratings
16 - 2 ratings
16 - 1 ratings

I used Romultiltus chart for picking 5 wildcard entries into the draft pool looking for that possible superstar. This is what it turned up:
1- (10) rating, 1- (9) rating, 2- (5) ratings and 1 fighter rated (1)

Just curious as to why you have 1 and 2 rated fighters. I would have thought you would have stopped at 3's

They are just carry overs from the original draft pool.
Plus someone might sacrifice one fighter in one weight class just to have some higher rated fighters in others and then they would need the 1-3 rated fighters for their roster to come in under the cap.

makes sense .. didn't think I may need a 1 to bring in another 7!!

[SAL]

Believe it or not, I've had some requests to add some 1's and 2's. These guys are almost automatic to make the draft list.

Thanks for the answers and thanks for asking. We had heat similar to what you went through ...

More than 100 degrees three of the four days, the truck I was driving's air conditioner broke down 15 minutes into the 6 1/2-hour drive, and the truck broke down completely as I was returning it. Lost my checkbook in a rest stop men's room and had to double back 20 minutes. Fortunately, an honest soul found and turned it in.

The loading and unloading, deposits, etc. went smoothly, though. After more than two years of living away from my family, it's good to have us all under one roof again.

Let me also echo the sentiments of the others while I was away. You're doing an excellent job with the league, Scot. Thanks.

[mh2365]

Mark you know what they say about men's rooms and rest stops and now you say you lost your wallet there


Just kidding you .. glad you've got your family back with you.

Hey can I make a fighter pack request? I could use a lower weights (FW,BW and Fly's) pre 1920 pack.

... just shouldn't be shared in this forum ...

Once I get my Internet hooked up at home I'm going to finish up some odds and ends, then look at a new project like yours. I'm kind of interested in a flyweight named Ash from that period as a place to start.

[mh2365]

Cool Mark, I know I'd appreciate it. In all seriousness, glad you are back with your family and doing well. I can still remember when you took off to work the new job. Glad you are going to be back around more.

Thanks Mark.
I hope everyone is enjoying the league as much as I am running the thing.
What a bummer on no A/C and the men's room. Should be nice to have all of your family back under one roof again. Maybe we'll get to see you around here more often now.

Have to say I'm not liking my chances of making the playoffs 23 points is alot of ground to make up and I just don't see Bonnar Springs getting hammered enough for me to have a chance to make it up. MexiVilles on the other hand I think do have a fair chance of possibly taking first so for us this fight will be about pride and slamming shut the door on any playoff chances the MexiVilles might have.

Guh.

I have to wait until the 19th to see the draft pool! With three picks, I have a lot of plotting to do. I may even trade up under the right circumstances - this could be fun.

Can't get much closer then that, that was a heck of a match. The lower weigth classes just kill the Barbarians in that match.
