I've sent out emails to everyone who participated in one of the RIHC leagues last year. I'm trying to gauge the level of interest before deciding on how to configure the qualifying leagues.

If you played last year, please check your email. Look in your spam folder if you don't find it. After a few days, a lot of people have not responded at all. (47 emails sent, 26 responses received)

Not sure if you got my email but I'm interested in playing again this year. AAA I think.

Here is a status update:

I have received acceptances from the following 22 managers:
Addicted
artofmonk
BB_The_Ball
Bean
Beebop
Chitown Ballers
Great One
gurudan
Jasonprof
Jaydog
Longtime Lurker
Mighty Meatwads
PermDude
RJ
tommyd
Tosh
twolves
Valkyrie
Wolfe
WonderB
youngroman
YWK

TD has responded with a maybe, pending a possible travel conflict in October.

I have sent out emails to the following 10 managers from last year, and am still awaiting a response:
Curby
damoose
Donkey Hunter
krisk
LimitdNaturalAbility
Louky
Magic Air Birds
Rotten Amoebas
stramonio
WG


Thus, at this point I still don't know if we'll be going with two or three qualifying leagues this year.

If you did not play last year but would like to try it this year, please respond below, and provide your email. If you prefer not to publish your email address, then send me an email at davehall@rotoguru2.com.

Qualifying leagues will all be hosted at ESPN this year. The drafts will be slow, online drafts, hosted at draftime.com, and probably taking place during the period from October 11-25. If you want to participate in a league, you must have internet accessibility during that period.

Leagues typically have 12 teams and use 8-category rotisserie scoring with the following categories: Points, Assists, Rebounds, Steal, Blocks, 3-pointers, FG%, FT%

I haven't played RI_C hoops in a while, but I'd be interested for 2015-16, obviously starting at the bottom.

I repeat here in case Guru didn't receive my email. I would like to participate in one of this year's league.

I also responded to Guru (a bit late, actually ...)
I am in if needed (to complete a league), otherwise I stay out for this year.

Since my last post, I have received favorable responses from TD, stramonio, WG, Louky, and Magic Air Birds, plus blue hen.

That makes 28 potential teams. If we fill two 12-team leagues, there are four left over.

Only 4 managers from last year have not responded: LimitedNaturalAbility, Curby, damoose, and krisk. Maspero has said he would fill in if needed.

If this is where we table off, then I'll go with just two QLs, and some potential managers will be left out. If we can get a few more managers, then I'd be inclined to go with three leagues, even if we have to fill some slots by allowing some managers to run teams in two leagues.

So - if you played last year and haven't responded, please do so now - even if it's a negative response.

If you haven't played in an RIHC league before (or at least recently), please consider it this year. Send me an email, or sign up below (provide an email address if I don't already have it.)

And if you would be willing to manage a second team in order to fill out a third league, please indicate that below as well.

I think we need just two more teams to complete the third league - either first or second teams.

I would also be willing to manage a second team if I'm needed to fill the third qualifying league.

OK. I've decided to go with three qualifying leagues again. With duplicate teams, we are now just one team short of filling out the third league. We should be able to get that filled.

Here are the league assignments:

RIHC AAA #1
TD - commissioner
Addicted
BB_The_Ball
Bean
Jasonprof
Jaydog
Magic Air Birds
PermDude
RJ
stramonio
Valkyrie
YWK

RIHC AAA #2
Beebop - commissioner
artofmonk
Chitown Ballers
Great One
gurudan
Longtime Lurker
Louky
Mighty Meatwads
tommyd
Tosh
twolves
youngroman

RIHC AA
Bean - commissioner
blue hen
deejay
Jasonprof
Longtime Lurker
Mighty Meatwads
Slowhand
weykool
WG
Wolfer
WonderB
vacant slot - TBD

I am about to email a list of managers and email addresses to each of the commissioners, so they can now begin setting up the leagues, draft, and registration process. A thread for each league will be set up in the Basketball Leagues & Standings Forum.
