I have sent out emails to the 16 managers who have qualified for the RIBC this year. Fifteen have accepted, and I'm still awaiting a response from one.

I have also emailed everyone else who participated in one of the RIBC leagues last year.

So, if you have played before, please check your email. Look in your spam folder if you don't see it. Regardless, if you are interested in participating in a qualifying league this year, please send an email to me at davehall@rotoguru2.com

If you want to be included this year, you should be aware of the following general requirements:

1. You need to be reachable by email. When we make league assignments - probably around March 1st - we need to be sure we can reach you to get you registered at your league site and at Draftime.

2. The drafts will mostly take place during the second half of March. You should generally be available in the window from March 10-April 1. The MLB season begins on April 2. We will use Draftime.com for the slow draft. These drafts typically take around 2-3 weeks to complete.

Once I get a better head count, I'll follow-up with more details.

Crack Babies is having issues with his phone and email so he couldn't respond. But he sent me a text that he is in Guru.

[2] OK - but he does realize that having email/internet access during March is critical, correct?

He does. Should be fine (may even be fixed by now). He just wanted to get a response out.

[one vacancy]

Note that there is still one open spot in the AA league. If anyone would like to claim it, please email me at davehall@rotoguru2.com. There are still three people who played last year who have not yet responded to (3) emails, so it's possible someone has been away and will return. Or, if someone with a team in another league would like to manage a second team to fill the AA slot, that is the ultimate fallback option. If you are willing to do that, send me an email as well.

Each of the commissioners will receive a list of their respective managers with emails, and can then begin the registration process at the league site and at draftime.com. League threads will soon be set up for each league in the Leagues & Standings forum.

Absr will take the remaining spot in AA.

If anyone wants to be on a waiting list, you can provide your email address here. But if everyone who expressed interest follows through and registers for their respective leagues, we are full for 2017.
