0 Subject: RIBC 2019: preliminary organization

Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Wed, Jan 23, 2019, 12:25

I have sent out emails to everyone who played in one of the RIBC leagues in 2018. If you played last year and didn't receive anything (check your spam folder), please let me know ASAP.

So far, all 16 invitees have accepted for the top RIBC league. I've also received affirmative responses from 33 people for qualifying leagues, with 15 other responses still pending.

Last year, we had the top RIBC league plus three qualifying leagues (two AAA, one AA). My first order of business is to determine whether we have enough interest to run three qualifying leagues again this year.

I have Judy, Toral, Wolfer, and perhaps Khahan as volunteers to commish again this year. So we should be good to go on that front.

If you did not participate last season but would like to try it, please send me an email at davehall@rotoguru2.com. Be aware that league organization and drafting will take place during the last week of February and most of the month of March, so you will generally need to have internet access throughout the entire month.

If you've never done RIBC I highly recommend it, very competitive and fun free league with some of the best Fantasy Baseball Minds out there.

Completely agree with MattG - I quit playing money and all other leagues several years ago, but continue to stick with this one as there's simply no better competition to be found.

At this time, I have 39 returning managers expressing interest in a qualifying league. Two of last year's managers have not yet responded:
gramazins
jordanski

It is likely that we'll go with two AAA leagues and a AA league. In order to fill the AA league, I'll need some people to take a second team.

Here are the returning managers who are qualified for a AAA team:
Blue hen
C1-NRB
Da Bomb
electroman
Filthy
Fosten
Graydog
Great One
Holt
IAC
Jasonprof
Jaydog
JeffG
Judy
Khahan
ksoze
maspero
Mikulka
Nerfherders
Perm Dude
RoBoGuRu
s R
Seattle Zen
Taxman
Thumpers
Toral
Tosh
ttucowboy
twilson
Uptown Bombers

League assignments are still pending. One league will be at Yahoo, and one at ESPN.

Here are the returning managers tentatively slated for the AA league:
artofmonk
Bean
beebop
Crack Babies
GoatLocker
gurudan
sparkyanne
Valkyrie
wolfer

It is most likely that the AA league will be hosted at ESPN.

If anyone is interested in managing a second team (in the AA league league), please let me know, either by email or by posting here. Also, if there are any new managers who would like to try a AA spot, please send me an email (davehall@rotoguru2.com).

gramazins - I have you down for AAA already. Are you also interested in a AA team (as a second team)? Or just the AAA team?

Everyone - I just returned today from a very extended (24 day) vacation overseas.

I hope to have league assignments sent out by the beginning of next week. Thanks for your patience.

League assignments are posted below. If you are in a AAA league, I was able to honor your preference of a hosting site, if you expressed a preference.

The AA league will be hosted at ESPN. So far, I have assigned 14 teams to that league, which includes four duplicate teams (i.e., managers who are also running a AAA team). I will keep the last two spots open for a few more days, in case any more newcomers appear. Otherwise, I'll fill those last two slots with duplicates as well.

Each commissioner will be notified of manager emails momentarily, so that the registration process can begin. I have asked each commish to start a league thread in the Baseball leagues & standings forum.
