I like Geoff's suggestion for Pirate to start an ultra league here. It would help expand our potential. I have played in head to head formats previously and I enjoyed that as well.

Don't want to put too fine a point on it, but most of us are here because we have been here forever. I realize I don't have a high profile like many of you guys, but I was part of the Compuserve class, and I have been mostly in, although I have taken a few hiatuses when participating was incompatible with being a good father or a viable husband. More of us will die, and eventually Mocksports will be no more. If my first cousin George Turner ("jumpngeorge", and I love the irony that he proposed the original complication) were not involved, nor would I be. Anything that complicates it beyond what it is now makes it more likely that I will abandon it. George is constantly mentioning players that I have never heard of, because I'm just not paying much attention to baseball. Never underestimate the value of intertia in keeping what participant base still exists.
What does anyone think the average age of our participants is? I'd bet that Dylan Izzo is the youngest of us, and he inherited it.
There is some slight possibility that adding a financial incentive might give us some legs (I participated in a Fantasy Football League which included 50% BOB AL participants this year and thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I didn't win any money), but I rather doubt it.
I hope that Mocksports survives me. But I would prefer to survive it.
