Will there be more than one waiver period before the cap limit comes into effect, which is June 6? Or perhaps there will be another waiver period(s) after June 6 and before Week 1?

Just wondering . . and too lazy to see if this is in the rules

I will try and run 1 waiver round per day, with the last one ending Sunday morning. When the last waiver round closes, everyone must be at the 105-cap limit.

NOTE: I have to work some OT both tonight and Wednesday night. I'm hoping to resolve all of the wavier requests before I head out tonight for work.

Here's one sure to shift the balance of power, guys:

St. Louis Sluggers trade MW Phil Kating (2) Pre-Prime 0-20 (0)
to the East Coast Gladiators for MW Tom Thomas (3) Prime 19-26-1 (16)

Cap move, or sheer brilliance by the two crafty GMs? Only time will tell!

Hi all with the draft looming I have a suggestion inspired by Mike that could really speed things up. If you have ever watched one of Mike's live LBA fights he usues a program called Yuuguu Web Viewer where you sign in the watch the action on his desktop.

How about using this for the draft? Whoever hosts the draft (maybe Mike would even be willing since he has the setup?) would have a spreadsheet set up on their desktop. Everyone could sign in and as the picks are made they would be filled in on the spreadsheet. If we all did a little research prior and had a war board ready, we could probably get through all 3 rounds in 60-90 minutes, plus we could have a little chitchat as the draft went on.

Those that could not make it could still give surrogate picks to a third party. What do you all think?

CONN CHRIS · 01-04-2010, 10:43 AM

I would be all for that.

Scheduling it at a time when the most people can be active may be a daunting task though with the various activity levels and time zones at play.

Hanson Bros · 01-04-2010, 02:06 PM

Dave can use my yuuguu account to do it also .... he has been to a couple of my live fights so he should be familiar with the way it runs ... very simple to use as most of the sim leagues on BLSN use it also.

Would probably be complicated to pull off but my account is available and up to 35 can watch.

Mad Bomber · 01-04-2010, 08:21 PM

I'm all for it. there is only one way to go for my team. Could I possibly get any worse?

Charter member, but worst season ever last year. All previous years I was within sniffing range of the playoffs. Gotta get better ...

Claybor · 01-05-2010, 10:36 AM

Juggernaut is allways competitive, but inconsistancy keeps us from moving up with the elite couple of teams. Having no draft strategy last season didn't help, and this season probably wont be any better as I still can't get into our draft method. (Not saying it's bad or anything, it just doesn't feel like drafting to me.)

I think it worked out better for the "Sluggers". Thomas did only win 6 fights, but it was 6 more than Kating had on the "Gladiators". Phil "Tigershark" Kating is now 0-40, but hit "Prime" at the end of last season. Management has high hopes for Kating to secure his 1st ever victory this season!

He just needs a new trainer to help him along! Teddy Atlas, Freddie Roach, Bundini Brown, maybe George Benton?

GO Vanuatu!!

I used WinZip 12.1 to compress the files...

What program did you use to unzip with?

I don't have one to unzip unless windows can do it. But it doesn't even show up as a zip folder just a blank white piece of paper.

You can find free copies of WinZip on the web.

I'm going to send you the files unzipped, but keep in mind that the fighters.dat is over 7M
