My team is ready willing and somewhat able

In case you need a second sub, I have a team ready to load. However I will be getting on a plane on Monday night and will not have access to the internet until Tuesday afternoon. Hope you all get this thing started soon.

League 2 is the only one that hasn't fully signaled that it's ready to go.

[b:4dd6e062f4]I move we begin loading leagues 1 and 3 to draft by mid-week. [/b:4dd6e062f4]

I second the motion to start loading the leagues including League 2... we are way past the Dec 27 deadline and subs are available

The last we heard Marcus was in the hospital. I'm happy with waiting until I know we've at least tried to reach him. He's a great player who has given much back to this game, and I'd hate to see an arbitrary deadline penalize him, especially since we waited forever for the makeup league.

Red Orko posted yesterday so I'm not sure what's up there and again, I'd like to make sure he's been notified. It's possible that, like Marcus, he thought his penalty points would knock him out of the semis and just hasn't checked in.

Since we haven't heard a lot from the Commish, I'd like to know for sure these guys have been contacted, that's all.

I haven't been able to find Marcus' email, does anyone remember the spelling of his last name, Pellitier or something?

I have contacted all of the missing managers by email and or PM. I hate to start the Semis before Marcus is out of the hospital, but I think we can at least get the other leagues moving by now.

I wanted to wait until the holidays passed just to make completely sure that we had everyone we could possibly get, and it looks like thats the case now.

Just a side note for next years tour: There will be NO makeup leagues no matter what. I understand that players are sometimes preoccupied and things come up, but everyone knows the rules when they sign up.

Cool let us know the league managers and the passwords and we can enter :)

Just a post to let everyone know I'm in as a replacement for RedOrco in Semis league two and will have my team ready by tonight.

I believe the normal spelling for that last name would be Pelletier.

I contacted Marcus in late November by TSN emails. I have bought a gift for him but don't know how to reach him. I called the hospitals today but he doesn't seem to be in the hospital. If anyone knows how to reach him, so that I can send this gift to him, I would be much obliged. I don't need to know his whereabouts (I can leave that as a private matter) but if someone DOES know how to reach him, I would be thrilled if they could get the gift to him, at my expense.
