The definite available teams are the Bears and Seahawks. An application was put in by a potential owner for the Colts, but he has yet to join the online franchise or leaguemanager. Therefore his status is uncertain. Any owners playing these teams in week 5 must post in the cpu sub in thread. If nobody is available to sub in or your schedules do not match up, then just play the cpu.
We had one simulated game in week 4, NY vs Ari, but a number of sub ins. All owners need to schedule early in the Game Scheduling thread so that the games get played. I also advise all owners to use the Teams and Owner Information forum to get your opponents contact information.
I also ask that if you have text or social networking ability such as AIM, to let me know and I'll update the list so that it's easier for people to contact you. It would be great if everyone in the league would sign up for AIM so that our networking ability would be boosted. It's not a prerequisite but a high recommendation.`
A few reminders for all USSML owners,
1. The league advances every two days. The deadline will always be posted in the scrolling message bar at the top of the forum.
2. All members must be registered and be a part of our online franchise instance at myleaguemanager.net
3. All roster transacations must be done on myleaguemanager and not in game.
4. Free Agency bidding opens every Sunday at 10 am est. and closes every Tuesday at either 10 am est. or 10 pm est.
5. Schedule early guys. Remember, if you fail to schedule your games three times in a row and you miss those games, you will be removed from the league.
