0 Subject: RIFC 2019: Recruiting for qualifying leagues

Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Tue, Jul 23, 2019, 11:28

I have sent out invitations to 14 managers who qualified for the top RIFC league. So far, 13 of the 14 have accepted, and it's likely that the other one will accept as well.

So, I'm now turning my attention to the qualifying leagues. Last year, we offered two AAA leagues and one AA league. About half of the AA managers were running a second team, as we only had enough unique managers to fill 2.5 qualifying leagues. So, this year, it's possible we'll have to limit the offerings to only two leagues. If so, both would be designated as AAA. But maybe we'll have enough managers to fill up three leagues again. We'll see. Judy and Wolfer have already agreed to return to commish the two AAA leagues.

So the purpose of this post is to recruit those interested in taking a team in a qualifying league this year. I will wait until I get a head count to decide on how many leagues we can fill. So at this time, just let me know if you are IN or OUT. More details will follow as the count is solidified. You may post here, or send an email to davehall@rotoguru2.com.

Before responding, please consider the expectations for all managers in RIFC leagues:

1. You will actively manage your team throughout the regular season and the playoffs (if applicable).

2. You will regularly check the RotoGuru message forum to stay up to date on current league developments, especially during the preseason, but also during the season.

3. You will make your best efforts to keep the draft moving along. If you have conflicts during the draft that will delay your responsiveness, you should alert your commissioner in advance so that proper accommodations can be made. You should assume that your draft will be taking place during the window from August 20-September 2. Once again, we will host all leagues and drafts at myfantasyleague.com

4. You agree to regularly check your designated email address during the preseason and the season, and to update league members if your email address changes. You will alert the others in the league if there are times that you expect to be unavailable or unreachable.

5. You will behave at all times in a respectful, cooperative manner.

I know it seems early, but the process of organizing all of the RIFC leagues takes awhile, and I have some pending travel in the next several weeks. Therefore, I look forward to your prompt responses.

Note: Following is the list of 35 managers (and/or teams) that participated in at least one league last year and did not qualify for the top RIFC league in 2019. But RIFC leagues are open to anyone who is willing and able to try the format and meet the guidelines. Feel free to invite friends.

Hello. I used to play in something called NFL stock market league, NBA, and MLB stock market league. I was one of the elite. Anyway, I took a hiatus for about 15 years but I am back and I can't find the leagues anymore. I think it was TSN or smallearth. you probably don't remember me but i was the most hated of all of you. Let me know where these games went thanks!

I believe I have more offers for duplicate teams than I need. Thanks to all who offered to pitch in.

I'm hoping to get all league assignments completed today, so that I can then turn the leagues over to the various commissioners.

Each commissioner will soon set up a league thread in the leagues and standings forum.
