Gentlemen,
Welcome back for season 12 of Chin Music. Every year, as I type this post out after my long fall sabbatical, I'm amazed at our longevity and appreciative of all those who have helped keep us afloat operationally (without Tyler and Scott, I'm quite certain we wouldn't still be around) and added to our collective enjoyment over the years- that includes most of the 100+ GMs who've been a part of our league. It is with this appreciation in mind that the Chin Music ELO humbly request that you all return for 2020.
That said, I have long been aware of Swo's impending departure- he granted my requests for him to stay over the last few years, but as they say, 'all mediocre things must come to an end.' Once upon a time, Swo was as instrumental to the founding and ongoing success of our league as Tyler and Scott are today. So, if you enjoy this league, pour out some Dornish wine, or whatever you're drinking, for a dearly departed homie and OG, Swo. Miss ya, buddy.
Anyway, If you have yet to do so, please take a second to respond one way or another to the 2020 check-in thread. If, for some reason, you plan to follow Swo into the ether, you will be sorely missed, but please allow us the opportunity to have as much time as possible to find a new steward for your franchise. We will begin searching for replacements in earnest as we begin our administrative preparations for 2020.
The offseason schedule can be found below. If you have questions about anything, please feel free to reach out to a LO member. Now is the time to have an abbreviated discussion about any potential improvements or rules changes that you'd like to see implemented. As usual, all things will be considered, but it will take overwhelming league support to enact any formal changes. Don't let that standard deter you, as we're always in the market for good ideas, and just because something doesn't get implemented for 2020 doesn't mean it won't in a future year. Make your case and gin up support now if there's something you feel strongly about. Aside from that, please update your roster pages, post your UFAs and tagged players and enjoy the Holidays. Best of luck to all.
Now- 1/4/20- Rules discussion, updating roster pages/spreadsheets, finding replacement GMs, etc.
