Subject: RIBC 2020: preliminary organization

I have sent out emails to everyone who played in one of the RIBC leagues in 2019. If you played last year and didn't receive anything (check your spam folder), please let me know ASAP.
So far, 15 of 16 invitees have accepted for the top RIBC league, and I expect the 16th will affirm shortly. Emails were just sent to all others a few minutes ago.
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, Khahan, and Wolfer as volunteers to commish 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.

Status update as of Monday, Feb 10
I am still awaiting word from one of the 16 invitees to the RIBC - jasonprof.
So far, I have 35 positive responses to participating in a qualifying league, received from the following: Bean blue hen C1-NRB Crack Babies Da Bomb Dave R filthy Goatlocker Gramazins Great One gurudan jaydog JeffG Judy Khahan ksoze Larry Fleisher Meatwads Mike Rogers Nerfherders Perm Dude s R Seattle Zen Sparkyanne Species Taxman Thumpers Tilt23 Toral twilson Valkyrie Wiggs wolfer youngroman ywk
Managers form last year who have not yet responded are: artofmonk beebop Electroman ttucowboy Tosh
If all of these five mamaers return, that will give us 40 managers to fill 48 QL spots. So we'll need some new blood and/or some managers who agree to run two teams.
Returning managers were given a deadline of Feb 17 to respond, so we still have a week of open recruiting before I begin to make final league assignments. If existing managers know of someone who might like to join the AA league, please send me an email at davehall@rotoguru2.com.

I have now heard from all potential returnees everyone except for ttucowboy and beebop.
At this point, I have just 37 acceptances, which is enough for two full AAA leagues but with only 5 left for the AA league. That's borderline, as getting 11 managers to take a second team could be a tall order. We may need to go with just two AAA leagues and shut a few people out.
Still no newbies. Several of you have said "I have a friend who might..." If you do, now is the time to step forward.
Meanwhile, I want to start getting a hard count on how many managers would be willing to run a second team. Please speak up here, or send me an email.

Sorry for the delay. Due to RL time restrictions, I won’t be playing this year. Thanks

Hey guru could we just get a quick run down of positions again so I can double check I set the league up properly?
thanks

I have 10 managers who have now volunteered to take a second team, so - assuming everyone comes through - we should be able to offer a 15 team AA league. Close enough.
It is also possible we'll have a few latecomers to fill the remaining opening, and/or to dislodge a duplicate team (as several duplicate managers said something like "I'll do it as a last resort...")
Hopefully, by tomorrow, I can finalize the league assignments and all leagues can then can move forward with registrations, draft selections, etc.

Here are the qualifying league assignments for 2020 (updated Feb. 21):
AAA-ESPN Judy, commissioner blue hen Great One jaydog JeffG Larry Fleisher Seattle Zen Sparkyanne Species Thumpers Toral Tosh twilson Valkyrie Goatlocker youngroman
AAA-Yahoo Khahan, commissioner artofmonk Bean Da Bomb Dave R Electroman filthy gurudan ksoze Meatwads Nerfherders Perm Dude s R Taxman Tilt23 ywk
AA (ESPN) wolfer, commissioner C1-NRB El fatador Gramazins R-money Wiggs Bean blue hen gurudan Meatwads Perm Dude Sparkyanne Taxman Toral Donkey Kong John DowdThe AA league includes 8 managers who are running a second team. (Thanks to all of you!) I never got any response from beebop, who managed in the AA league last year. If he or any new manager comes forward in the next week or so, we should be able to insert that manager into the AA league and dislodge a duplicate team.
I'll be sending email addresses for each league to the respective commissioners, who will take over league registration and organization duties from here.
