All handled via a live Skype call with all GMs present. Since there is only 6 teams, my guess is we will be done with all 20 rounds within 90 minutes.

Yup. I had him call me via Skype last night to make sure he was going to be able to connect.

The Old timers league kicked off last night. I only ran 3 games to make sure things would run smoothly and will kick off another 37 games tonight. Each night I will run 40 games (for season 1) which means a regular season will take 4 days at which point we will have 2 days worth of playoffs (semi finals one night and finals the following) to crown the champion for the year. Standings can be viewed on the standings page.
Right now detailed game results can be found on original six teams pages in the completed games section. I still have some work to do to update the league leaders board as well as some other ancillary pages.
On another note, after starting out 0-2, rumor has it the the Rocket is fed up with Boston and is demanding a trade.

Looks like I will have to cave in and give him the signing bonus he demanded - a team jacket.

Will all due respect who cares. We are still a league with vacant ownership. Let's work on that

Then get working on it... How does building a little league history affect the ownership status?

First expansion is 1967, and they're in 1943 right now, for those wondering. Six more teams!

John,
I am not sure at the total number of people who care but I know that we have more than 6 because some people who didn't make the original 6 cut are chomping at the bit to join in 67-68. Even guys not in the original 6 have been asking me to put the standings and stats out there so they can follow the seasons as they progress.
It could also be argued that this does help with GM retention as well as it keeps guys engaged (either participating or following) the old timers seasons during the dog days of summer.

I was just wondering how many are on the plate for the summer.

We will chug through about a season a week so that would get us up through 48-49 before the end of the summer. If the boys are amenable, I see this continuing into the regular season and then stopping at 66-67. We will then pickup the games again in the beginning of next off season with our initial expansion draft selections. Oldest tenured GMs are the first to get cracks at the teams and I believe we already have more than 6 that are interested. Also, Vancouver and KC came in shortly thereafter as well so we will have an additional 2 teams (on top of the expansion 6) next year as well.

I guess I'm in the 'don't care' group. I'd rather see energy being spent on minor league team coding and advancement rather than 'going backwards'. I for one, am all too aware of Glenn's 'extra available time' - it ain't a lot. He's not retired yet. I have enough on my plate with scouting, drafting, free agency and all the rules and regs. The last thing I want to do is peruse 'old dead hockey players' stats ect.
John/Anthony/Tony....I though you were hella into playing a summer league?
