the leagues have always been 15 people and 2 C...the problem we ran into last year was that Pond Scum was 18 people which meant we had 36 catchers which is more catchers than baseball teams...
Ok, I can live with that. If we have a position that's going to be scarce though, I'd want to open the discussion right now on waivers and argue that every pickup be a waiver wire claim so that it's not first come first serve when catchers get injured.
total counts: 30 C 15 1B 15 2B 15 3B 15 SS 15 MI 15 CI 75 OF 15 UT 135 P

Top 5 are promoted to Pond Scum (though this can grow if the right ppl in Masters drop), next five stay in PS and bottom 5-ish drop down to n00bs (as long as we can keep 3 leagues going - wasn't a problem until last year when we only had two). In all actuality, enough people drop Masters and the bottom of this league that you're safe to stick around in the middle "rung" worst case, unless you're like dead last and an inordinate amount of people return compared to past years

We get promoted to the league we're already in? That's not much incentive.
Also I PM'd smoove after my pick yesterday and just sent him another one just now to let him know the clock started today.

Also, I'll push for giving leniency within reason in the first round, but once everyone has made a pick for sure and is on board, the clock is absolutely the clock and you're gonna get skipped without a darned good excuse for a strange situation
I sent smoove a message on FB, which seems to rouse him more quickly than PM sometimes ...

leniency? what are you a democrat?
Heck no! Now that you put it that way, I say we execute anyone who gets clocked
