Salutations.
As a test of the settings for the next season of the GWJFL, I have created a 16-team tournament named GWJFL3t. Teams are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are already familiar with a team and want to evaluate the new settings, you are encouraged to select that team for the tournament but, in the "pro-fun" spirit of this tournament, it is not a requirement.
The next league will not begin until GWJFL 2005 is finished (at least with the regular season) but, if they are well received, I will run these tournanments in lieu of a second league. Optionally, instead of a large (e.g. 16-team, 16-week) league accompanied by the occassional tournament, I may run two smaller (8-team, 8-week) leagues so that the time commitments are less significant. This thread is not for the discussion of the future league options that I just mentioned. I will create a separate thread for that purpose at a more appropriate time.
Please feel free to send any requests, suggestions, comments or concerns about any aspect of the GWJFL to me via PM.

Since I seem to have a low ""Join League"" ability score, I''ll say how even I managed to join the tournament. I couldn''t figure out a way to do it from the computer (which is funny, because the computer is the only way I could join the GWJFL3 league). In the actual game interface on the XBox, there''s some option along the lines of ""Join Tournament."" Once in that screen, you will see a long list of tournaments you aren''t interested in. I believe you can hit the black button to search for a league. Type in GWJFL, hit the Enter button on their fake keyboard, and it should come up. Click on it, pick your team, enter the password (or some order like that) and you''re all set.
Lock&Load, it won''t let me respond to your PM. It says ""No such user exists."" I suspect that it''s caused by the ampersand in your name.
Hmmmm... the ""&"" hasn''t been a problem so far. Maybe this Internet thing is broken... just my expert opinion.
Thanks for the info Poppinfresh, I''ll sign up later tonight.
I''m in!
I''m not going to join this tourney as the wife already thinks I play too much football on the XBox as it is. But I just wanted to let you know I do like the idea of tournaments instead of a second league.
Stric, do you play more often than your two leage games per week or is that already too much? Just curious.
I mostly play just the two league games per week. The problem is they usually fall right around 7pm PST to compromise on timezone differences, and that just happens to be right about when the wife gets home from work. So the fact that I have to basically ignore her for about an hour when she gets home twice a week doesn''t really sit too well. If I could schedule all of my games for more around 9-10pm PST I would have no problem playing every day, but alas these east coast folks don''t really seem to be all that keen on staying up until 1am.
Don''t look at me. I stay up late to play Stric!
Signed up as the Panthers.

stuff about timezone differences

Yessir! I''m a glutton for punishment, so I continue to play as them.

Awww.. why on why did ya leave spy? Some of us liked losing to you
Freed up Panthers for LnL - took Steelers (my original choice in the GWJFL 2005 league). I am surprised Pigpen hasnt come along and grabbed the Falcons.
I''ll grab the Viqueens when I get back from my trip. I assume this has to be done by logging into Xbox Live?

Wow! Thanks SpyNavy! The Panthers are pretty much are the only team I''ve ever played so that will be a huge help for me. Thanks again and glad to see your still in the tourney.

1) Little late for that. I''ve had the Vikes for a couple of days.
2) Yeah - through XBL.
I figured as much plus I wanted to learn the Steelers whom I have tried to play in the last couple of leagues :).
Hmmm...it might be a blessing that the Vikes are gone.
