Okay, gang. Here's the deal:

After the games of Friday, 12 Dec 2003, play in the Independent League (original) and Independent League Customized will be temporarily paused. A third league, Independent League Equalized, will play its current season then also be paused, indefinitely.

Immediately after the pause, both IL and ILC will be reset, and over the ensuing several days I will be working on behind-the-scenes things (revising rules, updating the long-dormant web site, etc.) - keeping in communication with current and new owners as things progress. The leagues will be restarted once I have completed the tasks I have to perform - and once ownership levels are at a level I'm comfortable with (probably 15-20 for each league).

In the meantime, if you have an interest in playing in either league, please feel free to jump in now - I'll be giving those owners who are around at the time of the reset an as yet undetermined cash bonus.

The original Independent League has played a total of 111 seasons, while Independent League Customized has 47 years of play in its history. Here's a chance to help bring back what many say was one of BBMO's best leagues ever (the Independent League), and the only one (Independent League Customized) where you can run a team in exotic locations like...
- Sao Paulo, Brazil,
- Oslo, Norway, and of course, the ever-popular...
- Youngstown, Ohio!

Anyway, if you'd like to join a new league or have been awaiting my herald to rejoin one of the leagues - now's the time. I hope to see you all there!

NYS,

You may want to check what happens when you reset the ILC. It's my understanding that when a customized league resets it goes back to the original ML rosters and teams. PM Jokerswild, he probably has better info than me.

The league may actually have to do a "manual" reset. IE move players around....change contracts.....reset cash ...etc via the commissioner abilities if you truly want the new start. If you think someone neutral should do it I may be able to swing it. Send me a PM as I may not check back here.

I only wish I had read this e-mail 5 minutes ago. I just did the reset - and it did exactly what you just described. $#!+

I have an e-mail in to Clay in hopes of finding out if there's a way to reverse it and reset the league. If not (or if I don't get a response from Clay in time) I guess we'll go with relaunching ILE as opposed to ILC...

The original Independent League has now been reset, and is accepting new (or returning) owners. I hope to start the league's 112th season within 72 hours of reaching 20 owners, or next Saturday - whichever comes first.

Possible return of the Dodger dynasty??? Hmmmm....

The possibility is intriquing.....

(BTW...I am fairly confident I butchered the spelling of intriquing)
