As many of you are aware, Guru has decided to retire from the RIHC. I have volunteered to attempt to keep things going, at least for a few more years.

Invites to the top leagues have already been sent out and I have received positive responses from 13 additional owners for the formation of AAA qualifying leagues. Here are the 13 I have so far:

Addicted
BB The Ball
Bean
Dave R
Fosten
gurudan
JDSpiegel
Meatwads
stramonio
tommyd
wolfer
WonderB
ywk


If you are interested in playing in a AAA league and are not listed above, post here now. Also, if you would like to play a second team, post here now.

I am planning to end applications on Sunday, 22 SEP at 11:59 PM EDT. Right now, my thoughts are to accommodate up to 16 unique managers in one AAA league. With 17 or more unique managers we'll have two leagues, and 2nd teams will be welcome.

OK, so I had exactly 16 unique owners (yes, I had you Swish), and just one second owner volunteer. I thought about it a bit, and remembered that even with 12 owners, 12 active roster positions and 84 games, the FA pool is a little thin. Going to 16 teams is likely too many.

So, we will have two AAA leagues. One at ESPN and one at Yahoo. I will also leave the enrollment open for another week for new owners or second team volunteers.

Based on the preference you all provided, this is how we will divide:

Yahoo:
01 BB The Ball
02 Bean
03 Dave R
04 gurudan
05 Jasonprof (2nd team)
06 Meatwads
07 WonderB
08 wolfer
09 ywk

ESPN
01 Addicted
02 Bean (2nd team)
03 Fosten
04 JDSpiegel
05 Species
06 stramonio
07 Swish City
08 TD
09 tommyd

I will start threads for these two leagues in the Basketball Leagues and Standings thread today. I will also send out invitations to the Yahoo and ESPN leagues, as well as invites to Draft Time. Please take these invites promptly.

Here is a tentative schedule for the key activities:

01 OCT Deadline for Additional Owners Joining
03 OCT Draft Order Selection Starts
10 OCT Draft Starts
22 OCT Season Starts

Since I had no volunteers to commish, I am now going to need to commish all three RIHC leagues to go along with Guru 20 Hoops and the PHKL that I also commish. So, please be patient with me, respond to deadlines promptly, and don't ghost the draft or the order selection.

I'll take any offers of help anyone wants to give. My e-mail is beancline@comcast.net or just use the blue link.
