In mid-July, I emailed everyone who managed a team in one of the RIFC leagues in 2019 to assess their interest in returning for 2020, should the NFL season proceed.

As of today, I have a 14 managers lined up for the top RIFC league, and will be posting an announcement shortly (in a separate thread).

There are 35 other 2019 managers. So far,
20 have indicated that they are interested in returning,
3 have opted out, and
12 have not responded.

Since we need 14 managers to fill a full league, I'm thinking that we can probably assemble two full AAA leagues, but we probably won't have ample interest to form a AA league this year.

Obviously, it's entirely possible that the NFL will decide it can't pull off a 2020 season. But given the amount of money at stake, the more likely scenario seems to be that any decision to pull the plug will come after August, and probably after the season starts. As such, then we need to prepare as if the season will happen.

If you are one of the 2019 managers who has not yet responded, please reply ASAP. Judy and wolfer have again agreed to serve as AAA commissioners in 2020, so I'm all set there.

In all likelihood, RIFC drafts would start sometime in the August 27-29 timeframe. If so, then I need to have leagues set by the middle of August.

Stay tuned...

I'm now up to 27 acceptances, with three of last year's managers not yet responding.

Skackjawed Yokel
Skilpadderne
Kyle

Only one spot still open. R-Money, I need to leave the spot open to returning managers first before offering one to you, but you are first on the waiting list.

Skillpaderne has accepted the final AAA spot.

However, until I get all league assignments released and all managers are registered, I'll keep a waiting list. At this time, Kyle (who managed last year, but has not been heard from this summer) would be #1 on the list, and R-Money would be second. All other managers from last year have either accepted or declined.

I'll work to get league assignments out to the two commissioners by the end of tomorrow.

Leagues will be set up on myfantasyleague.com in the next day, and invites will be sent out, at least to those who are not returning to the same league as 2019.

Many of these managers will be returning to the same AAA as last year, however, so for them, all settings should remain intact from 2019.

Commissioners will most likely create league threads this weekend.
