That's why we had two last year.

Before this first one filled up fast. And some people didn’t like the idea of IDP’s.

Also, re: the question above about draft day/time, I’m open to moving it if a majority of people in the league want to push it back.

I’d hate to have an injury affect my picks. My vote is after the third pre-season game.

I'm with these guys

At least give me two preferably three preseason games before we draft.

I would rather draft after a couple of games as well.

The MMXI is the first league that filled up quickly.

So a second league was created. Meaning, you’re signed up for both.

Now i'm as confused as TF.

But I think I have it figured out now.

BRBMMXI is created by CutBlock from last year that he renewed a couple of months back.

The MMXI is the league from last year, it filled up againn back in June.

We have three BRB leagues now that I know of.

Or perhaps MMXI is not "officially sanctioned" but composed of BRBers

"MMXI" capacity is currently 17 managers.

We still need 1-3 more managers to join, giving us an even number, as it is a “head to head” league.
