You should be happy we are procrastinating, since we have given you one of your three losses!

And, so far our 3rd round games have yet to start, due to the procrastination of our scheduled opponents, the Groghards. So we expect to maintain our leadership for the American League. BUT-The emergence of the Powder Monkeys as a powerful team is somewhat surprising, as is their apparently easy victory over Mac's Raiders. I mean, these are lesser primates, without the thought capacities of us higher species.  Well, the next game will be against these upstart Powder Monkeys. This being the third round, and closing towards the end, we must demonstrate to everyone that WE WILL NOT BE DENIED! This will soon be followed up by our first seasonal face-off against the leader of the International League, Armada Geddon. Indeed, from hereon out, our level of play must be ratcheted up several notches. But we can do it. From henceforeward, NO PRISONERS, NO SURVIVORS, KILL 'EM ALL!  Have a nice day!

Mark and I are going to be doing something about these late signups, and some of you may be very unhappy.
There would be no justice in doing so this game, as the affected team would be OUR opponents. But, beginning with the next game posting, any team either not completely signing up by a certain number of days, or locating a substitute (permanent or temporary), will FORFEIT that set of games. The only exemption will be if prior notice is received by the offending team Captain, and would entail family emergencies or planned vacations. The operative word here is "prior". Once the game is posted, the countdown begins.
We have been playing for several months now, and everybody knows the drill. This has been happening far too frequently in the past, and will stop IMMEDIATELY, commencing the next set of games.
You will be notified officiall via email, and Captains will be responsible for the timely sign-up of their members, or locate a substitute.
