0 Subject: RIHC 2018-19: qualifying league preliminaries

I've sent out invitations to 12 managers for the 2018-19 RIHC. This was tricky, as there were 3rd place ties in both AAA leagues last year (6 teams total). I could only take 3 of those 6 teams, and after considering various tiebreaker methods, I ultimately bailed and settled it my random draw. So if you were in a 3rd place tie last year and didn't get an invite, tough break.

I plan to organize two AAA leagues again this year, and emails just went out to all of last year’s managers. We also had a few late-responding managers last year who were shut out, and they received emails as well. Altogether, I'll probably be sending out emails to about 30 previous managers for 24 spots. Even with some normal attrition, it’s possible that the last responders will be shut out – unless we have enough interest to create a third qualifying league.

As of now, I have two volunteers to serve as AAA commissioners: Addicted and Toral. Both have experience in this role.

I expect to start making league assignments by September 19. If I have more acceptances than slots available, I will have to prioritize them. Priority will first be given to managers who got shut out last year (i.e., asked to participate after all slots were filled), and then by last season’s standings. And if I do not hear from you by the end of September 18, you may be shut out regardless of last year’s situation. So if you want to play, don’t dally!

Addicted and Toral will serve as commissioners. I have not yet assigned managers to each league.

Still looking for one person to fill the remaining open slot.

I’ll join. Since I’m now in 2 dynasty leagues it looks like I’ll start following the NBA fairly closely again (after a several year hiatus), so one more league shouldn’t make much difference.
