After great thought, prayer and contemplation, I have decided to discontinue the Dirty Thirty as a functional league. There were many factors that weighed into this decision. But ultimately, I do not have available time nor the internal desire to make it fully functional again. I would like to express great gratitude and thankfulness to the many GMs who have been along for the ride over the last nine plus years. Special thanks and praise goes to JetsGM and Zaph whose thankless efforts have carried me and the league along over the last several years in particular.
The DTDL playoffs will conclude shortly after the Stanley Cup Final. That will be our last operation. I will NOT be setting up this year’s draft. Now would be a good time to seek another Dynasty Hockey League, if that is your desire.
As a closing thought, I would like to say life is ever fluid. We are not the person we were three months ago nor three years ago. The circumstances of our lives are also changing. Kids grow up, go off to college, get married and have kids of their own. Employment situations often change, technology moves further ahead …. Life and the world around us continues to move on. Ultimately our perspectives of life and who and how we serve others changes.
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rom 12:11

This is why it is never worth rebuilding a team. Leagues do not last long enough. Thourorly disgusted with this.

If anyone wants to step up now to run the league, I don't see a reason to shut things down but if you haven't offered to contribute your time to running the league functions in any fashion and you'd like to complain about things you have no leg to stand on.

Guess the 'league is pretty much finished' ball got rolling too fast.
At least I have a chance to go out winning. Others unlucky to rebuild too late

I'm willing to take on some admin function(s) but I need to know what needs to be done and if anyone else is willing to help out. I'd rather discuss this further by way of PM...

I doubt there is enough active manager here to run as a functional 30 teams league. Over 10 teams need a replacement, plus new admins. Seems like rebuilding the league is more legit.

The biggest thing here imo is the premium fantrax without payment. I can admin fantrax side, done it in past. But not sure who's paying for the league

you would have to ask Richard but I was under the impression that he had purchased a lifetime membership with Fantrax, meaning it auto-renews without having to pay. maybe I did not understand that correctly or whatever.
I will speak for myself, I don't have time to Admin the league anymore. I also wouldn't have time to re-draft so if that is the route, I will pass on going forward. I am still invested in my team however.
so lets figure things out, even if we had to contract to a smaller league that could work. and if not, it's been fun everyone.

I am also invested into my team and not interested in a redraft situation. I think we can contract the league and put more players into the pool of available players instead of looking for new GMs. Though in saying that, I am not sure how many GMs are staying and how many we are short on or what size the league becomes.

Let's have a roll call of teams interested in staying. I will start it off as I am interested in continuing
