**This is a transcript of a league-wide email that was sent out. Just posting a copy here for convenience.**
Well, hello everyone!
Later than normal to be sending this out, but I've just been absolutely knee-deep in the muck with work the last few months, and haven't been able to keep up with my league duties, unfortunately. Things will still be busy on my end for awhile, but I see enough light at the end of the tunnel (and we're going to start running out of track, if I continue this analogy...) that I can start setting things in motion for our off-season.
I've managed to update our spreadsheet for the new season, but there's still some other stuff to take care of, including an off-season conference between the managers to discuss the state of the league, and we need to do a draft lottery, and subsequent EL Player Draft before we can open the Free Agency Window. First and foremost, however, I have to do my annual check-in with every team to see who is coming back for another season and who is parting ways.
As I always state, I know this league takes much more commitment than the usual hockey pool, and both lives and priorities change over time. Each of you are obviously very welcome to come back for the 2021 season, but I, and the rest of the owners, totally understand if any of you would like to step away from league duties.
Please get back to me on the boards (whether through a Private Message, or simply replying to this thread) or through email (aluker22@gmail.com) with your status for the coming DHL season. Normally I'm pretty lax on the timeframe for a reply, but with us under more pressure than in a usual year to get going, I'd really like to hear back from everyone as soon as possible. If I haven't heard back in a reasonable amount of time, I may have to just take that as a sign and potentially find a replacement manager, unfortunately. Alternatively, if you're unsure about your status, feel free to send me a note and we can talk things over before reaching an answer, if that's something that you feel may help.
Looking forward to hearing from each of you, and I hope to have an update about when we can meet-up online for some discussions soon.
Thanks
