Hang on, what will happen if you get say 29 teams.?


We have several teams with 5/6 players...this way we can all go up to 7. I'm not sure at what point the number of teams have to go from 24 to 48....Robert???

What we need now is at least 2 more people that will step into the roll of Captain....

Can someone who is more eloquent than I am, please give an outline of what is means to be Captain...

Somebody small is just stirring the pot. :-) The cutoff will most likely be at 24 teams and no more allowed to be created after (at least that's the way it should be). Who knows (except for maybe Langdon and possibly Robert).

To be captain is not such a bind.

You basically get the team together, register it then put the kettle on.

No pot here.

I am just saying by inviting lots of folks to join in means you may get lots of folks.

I believe it would then be ever so slightly weird to say that they can't play.

We need 2 more complete teams - that's a minimum requirement of 10 people max of 14

Then we can start adding members to the existing teams that are short 1/2 people - that's 16 more people

For a max total of 30 more people for 24 "full" teams
A minimum of 13 are a must to finish Manic's team and the other 2 missing teams...

I love the idea of getting each team to seven. And then we still need a free-agent pot for the inevitable drops. I think the rules allow us to replace lost members up to a certain point, right?

Oh. I see you joined a team. Cool! I take back the stirring the pot suggestion. :-D

I had forgotten how well I aged! =P

I like your style - though surely get the Whiskey out would be more appropriate

I'm gonna step out on a limb here but Team Captains from Finalized Teams...

BEFORE you start snatching getting players off the Free Agent List to add to your 5 (or more) finished teams...PLEASE let the final 2 teams form before we start filling the vacancies...

In theory we still need another 12 more players...

I'd be curious how many of the people that I contacted knew about DPL (if the announcement was lost in spam)

Question...is there anyone on a team that is willing to be a captain so we can finish this up? Just think about it...

That's a heck of a good idea :-)

We'd have a better sense of where things stood if people whose names appear on the Free agent list who for whatever reason have no intention of playing would remove their names. Thanks!

Why would anyone join the list with no intention of participating? Or are you referring to people on the free agent list that do not want to commit to the entire season but want to be substitutes?

my guess is that it went like this .... hasn't visited this site in years (like me) .... get's new email from dpc (like me) .... comes to check things out (like me) .... gets nostalgic (like me) .... decides to play (like me) .... goes back to regularly scheduled life and either forgets or doesn't care enough to return (not like me)

I don't know! That's my point. However, many of the names have been there since the list was created and I can't believe no-one has invited ANY of them. Perhaps indeed they just want to be substitutes. It just makes it hard to figure out how close we are to getting enough people.

Exactly...I know at least 3/4 HAVE been sent invites...but no ones moving...

Manic...how are you coming along with your invites?

One on the list is currently travelling, and isn't in internet comms, but has already committed to a team.
