[USML Announce] USML - Draft Day 2011 and related information

Tue Feb 22 08:11:02 EST 2011

Kerbs:  A feeble attempt to deflect attention away from the fact that you are now a year older (but judging from your humor, not necessarily better!).  Happy birthday.

Rick:

While I understand your sentiments, age and experience have taught me that 10 is plenty for most situations.  I wouldn't object to 11, mind you.  Who would?  But 10 will do the job.  (I've even heard that some folks get by with only six or seven.)

Greetings;
     May I start the groundswell?  I, for one, prefer having at least 11 teams.  I don't have any immediate candidates that meet
with our high standards, but I'll bet that one of you fine gentlemen can scare one up in the next couple of weeks!
    Rick

League:

  It appears that we are set to draft on Sunday, March 13, 2011.  Consistent with past practice, the draft will start at 8 am sharp.  This year?s draft will be held at the lavish offices of Harris Winick,  which is located at 333 West Wacker, 20th floor (Suite 2060).  When you arrive at the building, you will have to check in with security and then they will get you up to the 20th floor.  Jeff will provide further details about office access and practices.

  A few other items of note.

1.  League membership:  Buddha is departing the league, and therefore we will only have 10 teams this year.  There does not seem to be any groundswell to add another owner at this time.

2.  Roster Freeze Day:  Given the very early draft date, I suggest that roster freeze day be March 6, at noon central (one week in advance of the draft).  The ?late dump? deadline will be Wednesday, March 9, at midnight.

3.  Website:  please review the website for current rosters.  If you notice any issues, please let me know.  My sense is that the league is generally pleased with the onroto.com service, so we will be keeping the same service again this year.

  If you have any other questions, please email or call me.
