    Non-participants

    I think it would be appreciated by most of us that if you signed up for the league and have a team, you should at least make an effort to manage the team for the integrity of the league. We've had way too many incidents of people not doing anything with their team and have two or three players on bye or not starting which isn't fair to those who are actually participating in the league.

    Next season, we may have to be more selective as I know Stitch wanted in, and he couldn't because we had ten sign up.

    Just my .02

    If you were a zombie and I had to kill you, I'd feel sad.

    Just look at the scoreboards to see it... check my game today, and look at the same teams last week. You will see two incidents with that alone.

    It's most humilating to lose to a team on autopilot.

    Easiest way to fix that is $$

    I'm in a league at work. $25 to get in. $1/add/drop. If you team scores in the top 4 scores of that week you get a token cash winnings. If you're low score, it costs you a buck. So if you walk away, you could end up owing yet another $10.

    LOL - No doubt.

    Hey, I'm benefitting from it today!

    I just don't think it's fair to everyone, particularly when there was someone who wanted to participate and we cut it off at 10 and he couldn't.

    I had one empty slot for the entire season so far. Slow down before you point the non-participant moniker in my general direction.
    Maybe you're still cranky from the loss I handed you last week.

    it's me. frankly, i have had quite a bit going on, and haven't had time to look. (that wasn't the case when we started). Stitch needs to be on time more.

    I'll make a better effort for the rest of the season, and I won't sign up next year.

    It's not really that big of deal, this is just "for fun" and there is no money involved. (I'm in a 'big' money keeper league with $300 entry now.)

    Things happen and you forget to check your roster a week here or there and it happens. Hell, I "accidentally" kept Stallworth in one week when he wasn't playing.

    I just ask that if possible, please try and take 2 minutes before gametime to make sure you don't have any guys on bye if possible, that's all.
