All the rosters have been turned in. There are about three hours left to make changes, but at the moment, everything on the website is current. Check out your roster and your draft picks and let me know if there are any errors. The printer-friendly versions have been updated, too.
Tomorrow, I will adjust the draft grid to match the number of players you protected.
Also, on the home page of the website, click on the Warpig. Soon I will have a page like that for every team.

updated rosters
I am updating the rosters as they get turned in. If the team name on the roster page is in RED, I have not gotten their official roster. And, of course, if your ballpark numbers aren't listed just below your team name, that means I haven't gotten those numbers from you.
Deadline is tomorrow on rosters.

Rule Proposal #2
Regarding consequences for Rule Proposal #1, I propose we assign demerits. For each month you do not have your games played or fail to report your results to the league, you receive 1 demerit. Same thing for each time you fail to send your opponents their results. Fail to get your stats turned in on time and you receive 5 demerits.
The consequences for receiving demerits:
0-2 demerits: no consequence
3 demerits: you are limited to a max of 20 players when you cut down next March
4 demerits: you are limited to a max of 18 players
5 demerits: 16 players
6 demerits: 14 players
7 demerits: 12 players
8 or more demerits: 10 players max
The number of Reserve Spots you own wouldn't affect the ruling. If you have 4 Reserve Spots, you will still have 34 players at the end of the draft, but you will only start with the max you were allowed. Example: if you have 4 Reserve Spots but earned 4 demerits, you start with a max of 18 players and use the draft to get to 34. And no protecting players for anyone.
I also suggest there be three possible choices on this vote:
1. No (for whatever reason)
2. Yes (as is)
3. Yes, but wait until 2009 to implement the consequences

Rule Proposal #1
I propose we adopt a schedule for having games played and reported at the following times:
end of March, at least 20 games played
end of April, 35 games
end of May, 50
end of June, 75
end of July, 100
end of August, 120
end of September, 140
end of October, 162
Thanksgiving weekend, final stats submitted
As part of this rule, within 24 hours of playing games (or within 24 hours of returning home after Draft Weekend), each team will be expected to
1. report the results of the games to Pigman Publishing complete with the breakdown of wins and losses vs each opponent you played. This applies to both teams.
2. send all necessary game files (if you were the home team on all computer and netplay games) to your opponent. The opponent is then required to reply stating that you received the results. In the case that your computer was used for games between two other teams, you are required to send the necessary game files to both teams.
Please vote Yes or No on this proposal.

The Week Ahead
Remember, final pre-draft rosters are due Friday of this week.
If, like me, you subscribe to and watch games via MLB.com, this Wednesday is the first broadcast.
We should probably go ahead and get rule proposals (if any) written up and put out there for us all to see. We don't need to spend a lot of time at the draft debating issues if we can avoid it. I'll put out an offical proposal for deadlines and a separate one for the consequences of those deadlines. I will not be proposing any rule that deals with the drafting of uncarded players, but if you want to, dive in. We should really get this done ahead of time.
I also think it would be a good thing to go ahead and pick our ballparks now. As always, you can stay where you are, adjust your current park a max of +/-2, or take the new numbers of your current park. This being a presidential election year, you have the added option of taking any of the new parks. Bees, you are first. Go.
Also, I have made a few changes to the website. I'm learning a little bit all the time. I've added some logos to the Contacts page and am currently adding some pictures to various pages. Be sure to print yourself a copy of the schedule. And, as we get closer to draft day, print out a copy of the Draft Grid. There will be major revisions to the Grid after rosters are submitted this weekend.

The 2008 NASOMA Schedule is now on the website. Click on the link to view it, or click on the printer friendly version to print out your own. I made a few minor formatting changes to the one he sent out. Let me know if it comes out okay for you.
Thanks, as always, to The HEAD INMATE. Nice job.

Rules Suggestions
As for drafting or not drafting uncarded players, I have no agenda either way. Keeping the status quo is fine by me.
However, setting deadlines for playing games, reporting results, and turning in stats needs to be a priority (in my opinion).
I suggest we do this: Set deadlines this year, but hold off on any kind of consequences. If enough of the deadlines are not met, we can institute some sort of consequences for the 2009 season.
Deadlines proposed earlier:
end of March, at least 20 games played
end of April, 35 games
end of May, 50
end of June, 75
end of July, 100
end of August, 120
end of September, 140
end of October, 162
Thanksgiving weekend, final stats submitted
An important part of this is reporting your results in a timely manner. At the very minimum, both teams should report the results of a series as soon as they finish it. That would keep us from having a team at 35 games one minute and 105 the next (unless they actually sat down and played 70 games in one day). So instead of just saying, "The Tweeners are currently 34-34," you would just send emails every time you play that said things like, "Tweeners went 2-3 vs Snakes and 3-2 vs Bees today." Theoretically, I would also get emails from the Snakes and the Bees reporting the same results. Then I could just keep adjusting everyone's records as we go.
What I think would be great is if you (or I) did a short write-up on Big Innings after you play games. Like this:
Anyway, those are my suggestions. Part of the problem in the past is we have not had deadlines. Maybe if we have them, we can try to meet them. And if things go better this year, then consequences will never be needed. If we still have teams not playing games/reporting results/doing stats, we will be better suited to initiate consequences next year.

BUCKEYES DOMINATE INMATES
The GP Buckeyes swept a 5-game series in Waco this weekend to up their record for the year to 63-12. Luke Scott led the way for the Buckeyes, going 18/25 in the series. Mark Buehrle threw two shutouts. Said losing Inmate manager Steve Hart, "I don't understand it. We outscored him for the series and still managed to lose all 5 games." The Inmates dropped to 22-5o.

Rule Proposal
For discussion...
It has been proposed (again this year), that we dispose of drafting uncarded players. Players already on your roster who did not get a card could still be kept.
Chime in with your opinion, please.

New NASOMA Website
I have been working on a new website for NASOMA. It is crude and doesn't really measure up to the old one the Driller Dude used to run, but maybe it'll get better.
The Archives tab is currently empty, but will soon have league records and whatnot in there. There are tabs for Rosters, the Draft Grid, Trades, Baseball-related Links, and Standings.
There are direct links on the Home Page to Big Innings and the Tracker. Not a lot of bells and whistles yet, but it's something anyway.
So, check it out and let me know what you think.
And Steve, when you have a schedule done, send it along and I'll get that on there too.
