There are two proposals in front of the league:
Shutter the league. Owners would get some term credits etc.
Keep limping along until we find a suitable merger partner.
Here's what Admin had to say in a prior thread
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I apologize. November was not good for me, as I was hospitalized so mergers got back-burnered to fixing more immediate issues.
There is not currently another 9GPD league in need of a merge. The closest is the Gibson Feller League but it only has six available slots, not eight.
So we have a couple of options:
- Shut down the league and transfer your remaining credit to other teams on the For Sale list, plus an additional five months (credit for November/December/January, plus the free month you traditionally get when taking over a team, plus a month to sweeten the pot)
Pros: Easy, can happen right away, extra credit!
Cons: Giving up the teams you have built, possibly scattering you between different leagues depending on your choices
- Merge with another league
Pros: You get to keep your team, you all stay together
Cons: Finding a league to merge with may take time, rule differences need to be ironed out, all the histories from both leagues are lost
With this many owners gone, my inclination is to do a straight shutdown. You would all cancel your subscriptions, select a team from the Available Teams list, and I'd give you control right away. I'd also set up all teams in this league to run for free until the remainder of this season is over, so you would have teams in both leagues for a while.
If instead you would prefer a merge, I'll start hunting for a merge candidate.
Thank you all for your patience!
Chris

Re: official voting thread
I vote to shut the league down. Which is a shame, I have a beast of a team. That said, I think it's what's best for the other 7 owners.
I'll leave the voting open until the OS runs, at that time I'll contact Admin.
(Oh- per a PM, swd also votes for a shutdown)

Re: official voting thread
I will go along with whatever everyone wants. However, I think we deserve more credit.....It is the end of January. The League has not only not done anything since November, but had their eye of of the ball since August. We deserve a better user experience.
Re: official voting thread
I say wait until a merge partner comes up. I've put too much time and effort into the team to not wait for a merger
There isn't a merger partner at the moment, but there will be one soon enough

That sucks. Looks like I was in the minority. Good luck to all
