So why do people not want to play?

Is it because you have to pay to play or is it the time committment?  If it's the money, just look at it this way:



Actually I think I know what the problem is, I signed up too early and scared everybody else off.  No one wants to play in a league where they know they're going to lose to me year after year.  My bad Redz  ;)

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

The rules could be a little intimidating to look at at first too. And it's way before the season too, but the way I'm envisioning doing the auction we'll need some time.

My roto league auction is one of my favorite nights of the year.  We all meet up at a bar, have some beer and eats, and bid up a storm.  Most of the guys are old friends who I see in person once a year.  It's a nice thing.  Most of us have wives and kids now, which wasn;t the case when we started.  It's kind of cool that it's lasted so long.   I envision us all drafting at a nursing home some day!

Anyhow, starting from scratch will be fun, but a lot of the good keeper rules won't make this league all that it should be until the 3rd season. The first couple will be fun nonetheless.  But it's better as time goes by for sure.

Just need some recruits!

Come on people you know you want to join this.  With the amount of people who do the CB draft I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this.

For right now, just stating your desire to play will do.  I'll start handing out some instructions once everyone is confirmed.

So that makes 12 then!

2) Kwhit10

I'll be sending out PMs to the 12 owners (well, 11...I guess I won't bother sending one to myself  ::) )

I'll be looking for a formal commitment to follow on being a part of this league.  In order to commit to this league I'd like you to consider the following and have you feel comfortable (and committed) to following through with them.

1) You will have the ability and willingness to check in during in the auction at least once a day (M-F).

2) You will pay the $10 dues sometime in the near future.  CBS' system is not ready yet for the 2010-2011 season, but as soon as they are I will be paying for the league and I'd like to be reimbursed.

3) You are interested in this league for the long haul.

4) You are not the kind to take things too seriously and ruin a league with arguments.  It is completely possible to be competitive without being a pain in the butt.

5) You will play by the rules and ask for clarification if you don't understand them.

6) You will do your best to respond to proposed trades and be an active owner.


That's all I've got for oaths.  Be on the look out for a PM soon.

Put me down as an alternate, Redz.  I've never done an auction league, but I'm sure I could figure it out.
