If any of the leagues would like to switch to a different night, the auction/draft can be moved by unanimous vote of the league members.

Most of our leagues have 3 or fewer openings.  Clemente has only 5 so that league is in danger of being eliminated.  If it is eliminated we can move Berra to Sunday if the league agrees.  The Clemente owners should start looking at the available teams in the other leagues just in case.

If we don't find new owners, should we continue with less than 10 teams in a league?

I prefer not continuing with a league with fewer than 10 teams. I'd rather see us disband a league and have the displaced owners fill in the available teams in other leagues (hopefully some or all of them would do so). Looking at the above numbers we might have to disband both an AL and an NL league.

I agree with Geoff. I want to play in ten team leagues, and would obviously prefer that if leagues are disbanded, they are not Banks and Bell, which I am in.

I will not be able to make the Uecker auction until until almost 9.....I get confused with playing catch up, but would be agreeable to having someone do the auction for me if anyone is willingf.

I could see doing one or two 9-team leagues this season, but I would only want to see it as an exception.

I fear consolidation is on the horizon, unless we can recruit new owners, which is exceptionally challenging based on past experience. I want at least year in SPARKY, so anyone interested in joining us would be greatly appreciated. I'll buy you a virtual beer.

I would just request that if any leagues are changing the number of teams, we know that before the freeze deadline. I would expect to know how many teams will be in the league before I decide which players to freeze.

[joeizzo]

Clemente is officially disbanded. Owners have been notified and asked to pick new teams. Two already have so three remain.

[joeizzo]

Sunday 4/3 is now available as an alternate auction night, if any of the leagues want to do a unanimous switch. I know someone mentioned not wanted a game on Monday 4/4 because that is NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game night.

[joeizzo]

All surviving leagues are now full. Gibson is proceeding with 12 teams.

April 8th is a Friday, not a Monday for Berra auction
