Outstanding GBL Business

Getting interesting at the top - already with GM's S-Tac, E-Mac and Dunne having spent some time at the pinnacle. Could be the close year the fans have wanted for some time.


WEEKLY WRAP
Just thought I'd send a group email to remind "Waldy" that a wrap is due today - although I'll provide until the end of Monday (in Europe) to comply. 20VGMs at stake for a no-show - could be the difference between being in the money and no money at the end of the season.

Brauny - you're on for next week, then Cotts the week after,


ENTRY FEES
Speaking of money - entry fees are now due for the GBL Season. $80 each, payable to :

Prize Pool :
% $
2nd half winner 10.0% 80
Overall winner 65.0% 520
Overall runner-up 25.0% 200
TOTAL 100% 800


NEXT DRAFT
Next draft, which many GMs are waiting for with baited breath (and some with bad breath), will be the night of Monday Dec. 15 at 8.30pm. Who would like the honour of being host for the next draft night ?

Draft order will be determined once all games from Sunday December 14 have been uploaded into the system and will go reverse order. 10->1 10->1 ... All players to be cut from teams have to be nominated 1 week beforehand and will not be accepted after 5pm, Monday December 8. You have been told !

If you prefer, you can email your cut players to me secretly, or tell all and sundry who you have cut. It is up to you, however you could work some advantages by keeping your opposing GM's guessing about who will be available and emailing only me. Once I publish the entire list of who has been cut, that will be final and no more cut players will be accepted. Currently subsituted players are available to be drafted, forcing the GM who has them as a sub to select an available alternative. Trades are always available, but GM's cannot use future draft picks as bargaining chips.

To ensure complete transparency on my behalf, I will be completely clean and tell everyone that Ricky Davis (SG) and Nick Van Exel (PG) are up for grabs at next draft and will probably still be up for grabs at the end of it.

The next draft after this won't be until early February so make it count !


That is all.


I love this game.
