Can we get an end date for the open invitation pls mate, very hard to plan pick targets properly with so much potential shift in the pick numbers.

Ant, what is your preference if we don't get the full 48 players? Are you going to run with 11 team leagues providing we get up to 44 players?

I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe we should do that.
Would be great to have the leagues all equal numbers

Yep, Im gonna set it up like this.
With Jasmine in now too, we will only need two more to get to 44, which is more realistic than aiming for 48.

Sorry to stuff it around a bit. I'll update the OP now and then re-alert everyone.

premier league is now set up and invites have been sent

div 1 is all set up and invites sent

11 teams means we will have a bye each round.
5 play 5 and 1 always left over

changing to 11 team leagues has thrown up a few unexpected challenges ...

I will set up a poll in this this thread with 3 options re our schedule... only open for 24 hours, cause we need to get it set.

Division 2, Conference 1 has now been set up and invites have been sent (except 1, but Im chasing the email addy)

Division 2, Conference 2 has now been set up and invites have been sent

Everyone, please let me know if you see any errors in the way any of the leagues are set up.

Once again you've done a ripping job getting this all set up for us Ant

I appreciate that Bear,

We still need 2 more to join the leagues though. Would be good to fill all four leagues with 11 each.

Normally I would try to talk @MrsBear into having a crack, but as she is still recovering from neurosurgery in late August she wouldn't be keen - plus she prefers her Ice Hockey rather than Hoops

Oh shit, wish @MrsBear well from me. Hope the recovery goes smoothly.

Was a shame to see a drop in numbers this year. Even had 2 from premier league drop out. It would be better to have standard leagues, but 11 will be fine. Hopefully we fill those last 2 spots.

Sweet! Can you get them to post a comment in this thread?

poll is finished.

I have set up all league schedules to reflect the most voted for option:
22 rounds, top 4 make finals. (play each other twice each and have 2 byes each), finish 31/3.

Heads up, some people may not get any emails. I'm all signed up but there's nothing in any of my folders. ESPN log in directs me straight to team so others may be in same situation.
