    I'll be sending out an email in the next day or two to everyone.

    Also, I'm thinking about changing this up a little. Rather than eliminating everyone after two misses, I'm thinking it would be better to make it last longer by having people pick a different team each of the first 30 days of the season. The winner would be the best record after all 30 teams are used.

    Thoughts?

    Also, I think we're still a little under 20 people, so plenty of room for any stragglers to jump in.

    This might be nice in case someone has a brainfart and forgets to submit a pick one day...but hey, its your LIF - your rulez!

    There might be an issue where every team playing on a certain day has already been used (Monday/Thursday tends to be off days for a lot of teams). But we can also plan ahead and avoid that situation by looking 30 games in advance. Just a thought.

    It is not an elimination so that wouldn't matter too much.

    Too late to join? So psyched for baseball... and to share it with fellow BAs.

    Sounds good to me! Whatever works but Drucifer is right that there might be a situation where someone picked the only teams playing on a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday already...so something might have to be worked out for that. I don't think there is anyway to look ahead to the first 30 days and determine who to pick based on schedule to make sure that doesn't happen. (well there is but I bet it would be really time consuming)

    Anyways, I emailed my first couple picks. Were they received?

    I sent out an email an hour or two ago. It will last 30 days, you have to use all 30 teams, unless you've already used all teams playing a given day. No elimination, just best record wins. All other rules stay the same.
