2011-12

Another successful year with very few big changes to the website. The rookie GM's did extremely well this season taking the titles in both the A and C Leagues. Second year of keepers which will need to have some work done to improve the tracking methods. Hoping that we will not have to deal with a lock-out this season. Some proposed changes are a chat room for trade negotiations and changing the deadline on when the lineups are due from Sunday to Monday to take into account any player injuries from the Sunday games.

Diagnosed with CML in November and have decided to stay with current format to reduce stress.
