Possible Merger with HBL - ACTION REQUIRED

Post by Splinter »

Admin has found a candidate league to merge with should you agree. The Harold Baines League has similar rules, mentoring being a difference.

Sounds like their folks are up for it. What say you?

The current situation is untenable. Five teams without managers is only half a league anyway. I don't trade a lot but if you are a trader having half the players in a league unavailable due to no management doesn't work.

I'm in another merged league and it is working fine. 24 teams with two divisions in each league, an extra round of playoffs with the two division winners and the two teams with the highest winning percentages that didn't win divisions in the first round, for those unfamiliar. Drawback is it's treated as a new league and the records of the old leagues were archived, so it's really a brand new league. You keep your players, they have no past.

I'd be for it.

Hello,
Lyle from the HBL. We have about 12 owners give or take. We have a few chaperones / sitters and part time owners. But we have a good core of active owners and a handful of owners like myself who have been in the HBL since the beginning. Not a fan of the loss of player and league history either but I think having some of our old leagues join together will help keep the Sim game itself going and be more active. Hope your league agrees. Looking forward to a future merger with you.

Thanks and Good Luck, Lyle
HBL Braves 1950-2049

Right now we have five teams without owners.
A sixth is run by a chaperone.
A seventh - an original owner in HKL - inactive for 2 weeks.

Yesterday I cleaned up rosters for all five teams without owners and that's a task I currently need to do about once a month. Not fun.

I currently own teams in three leagues and chaperone a fourth. I'm tired of fake managing five more.

You all need to make a decision. A league with nine or ten active teams is not worth saving. Unless someone else wants to Commish and recruit new owners to fill out the HKL, we need to merge or mothball the league.
