It's Good News and Bad News time, regarding the upcoming kickoff of the Trident Cup Competition.

So, the Good News first: out of the 5 openings, of the 8 available, we are up to 5 teams in just a week. That's much quicker than anticipated, but good news for the participants waiting to start this thing.

The current 5 teams signed up for the very first Trident Cup are:

TRIDENT CUP TEAMS: (A/L-American League; I/L-International League; N/A-None assigned)

North Atlantic Warriors N/A dcr66 (Hubert), Blackjoke (Bruce), brewk001 (Kevin)
Armada Geddon I/L derekticus (Derek), sfatula (Steve), Flashrock (John)
Rum Runners A/L pbass111 (Johnny), longneck (Bill), michzeidler (Micha)
Cat-o-9-tails N/A TrevorWigwam (Trevor), Jesmith29 (Jason), Belisarius (Brian)
TBA N/A taliapharaoh (Travis), wulfe (Rick), AK_Dave (Dave)

But the Bad News is grim: There's only room for 3 more teams. That's only 9 more players! Of the last group of available volunteers for teams, only 2 remain. The others have formed team #5. The remaining 2 players are good players, and experienced. They are: Ian: djgubber@hotmail.com (poohshoes); and Andy: apkindland@yahoo.de (AndreasK906);.

Remember, players wishing to volunteer for a team or as a temporary replacement for a team should post in the Forum, contact the available individuals listed, or contact me at: pbass111@aol.com Do this knowing that I am NOT placing folks on teams. That's their job. I'm just a clearing house for prospective players.

So..., we hope to finish filling the final 3 team positions sometime this week. For those wishing to enter their teams, please contact Mark, at SirLindsleyBray@aol.com Mark handles the League business, including scheduling.

The games begin when the final teams are entered, and Mark sends the season schedule to everyone. We'll keep you posted on results as they happen.
