When I say 'bye', Wagner, I refer to 1 team every round not having an opponent if we only have 15 teams. Yes, it would be 14 games, but it still means 1 team, every round, would have no opponent because of the uneven (15) number of teams = bye.
I have reached out to Erik from the N.Dragons as he was originally on the list until he decided not to because it was PickUp games. I have sent him a bbmail asking if he would reconsider.
If he doesn't want to, then yes, Big Chill should be asked.
Yeah, sorry for misunderstanding, I started thinking later if you meant that (what you just explained) with what you wrote.
Thanks for reaching out N.D. and Big Chill, let's see what he has to say about willingness to participate for the next season, and if he's comfortable with PU games. Also, if not, I'd want to believe that we would be able to find another team to fill a lineup of 16, but of course I could be mistaken.
But having said that, has anyone heard from Chucarro, as he didn't yet reply to (part of) my message which also included question to him?
It's good idea to work proactively as we don't have tons and tons of time, but on the other hand does anyone have any additional information about his willingness/eagerness to participate, in addition to those few messages he sent to this forum earlier?
Because on the other hand, if for any reason Chucarro isn't into joining anymore, then if Big Chill decides to join (after now being asked again), then we'd be again at odd number, at 15 (which is quite non-ideal number, and while is is of course possible to run with that number as well, I'd prefer to avoid odd numbers of teams in the first place if possible).
For a reminder, this is the conversation that took place in this thread 19-20.2.:
(Chucarro)
Hi
f you need one HG team more i'm in.
(MrJ)
Hi there, Chucarro. Whether we go with a 'Pick-Up' run league, or a "Private League," we will include you in the preparations. Thanks for putting your hand up. :-)
I mean from his recent "why?", message one could conclude he would still be interested (at least to some extent?) to join, but I never saw any other confirmation than "we'll include you to our plans" (etc., by MrJ) in this thread as a response his query on participation to HGL, nor did I see him reply to MrJ's message (above). And I can't at least recall that anyone from community would've confirmed in this thread that place for HGL is reserved for him for the first season - although still that doesn't mean that this conversation couldn't have taken place on another platform (of which I'd be unaware of).
Anyway, I'll send him a BBMail to ask about aforementioned things, if that would reach him sooner than my previous message.
