I just noticed the pitchers only need 7 innings minimum per week. Technically you don't need any starters. What do you guys feel about bumping to the 20-inning mark?

Thanks for catching that. We need to at least double that. Is 20 too high of a minimum?
Looks like we have 16 registered now!
I am missing two payments. I'll work on sorting that out before tomorrow.
Also, I'm fine with giving "third place money" to the regular season champ. What if that guy wins the league as well - I mean, me - what if *I* win the regular season and the playoffs? Does third place money default to the third place winner? (i.e. same guy can't win both prizes?)

In that event, I think champ has earned both prizes, as they are separate prizes.

I think 20 innings is very easy. My H2H league the min innings is 40. I would say 25-30 is totally fine.
I am up for whatever the league wants but if there are 16 teams, I would not want only 2 people to win money. So, my vote for payout would be 3rd place prize goes to regular season champ UNLESS, the reg season champ makes it to the finals. If that ends up being the case, then top 3 in the playoffs take the money. I know that adds a little difficulty, but probably not that much, and it assures 3 payouts, as well as the number one regular season team at least winning something.
Just my 2 cents, again, I'm up for league vote or commish just making the decision. Either way, I think this will be fun and I'm excited by the fact that we are even discussing it. Too many leagues are run by people who don't value other peoples input.
Also, it seems like a good bunch of guy's joining this league. I want to use this as a way to get to know my fellow card collectors more. I love some "all in fun" trash talk, but the only thing I would ask is for everyone to be polite and have fun. No making fun, calling someone an idiot, etc, for drafting someone or playing someone you don't deem as worthy. Everyone has different opinions and thoughts, and there is nothing that is set in stone, or it wouldn't be worth playing, i.e anything can happen. In a given day or week nolan arenado can outperform miggy.

Actually, it looks like it did randomize. The first few guys to sign up were spread out throughout the draft.
I guess I ended up with the "luck of the draw" and got the first pick. (Yay. I hate having the first pick.)
I now have 15/16 payments. I haven't researched who #16 is - please pay up... I'm terribly lazy.
Should I purchase the three BBCE gift cards now? I REALLY like the idea of the gift cards, and it feeds back into this board. The downside is if a sinkhole opens up and swallows BBCE, we're out the money. Would you guys prefer that I wait until after the season?
