We take @vazio

And I'm totally cool with 12 guys on the roster.

I guess if all captains could chime in that would seal it.

So next time you put your vote in also say where you stand on 12 guys per team.

@BeauxPati, you're up.

38 picks in and 16 picks left.  28 picks left if it's decided to expand the teams to 12. 
Still 16 members below who threw their name into the draft hat that haven't been picked yet.

It's my first time checking in today, and also a new page, so I guess I'll update the situation, as much for making it clear in my own mind as anything else.

MQuestionable:   WishIsHeregunn4206yorma , Live2wrestle , Swickotine ,sreimuthhiblet
Yossgold:  curtwag84OldManGloomcal1 , Ronwah , Rob Hallman , 2kTweeKvazio
Lopati:  KproCataloggermichigandolphin , Kalibo , ItsTheDudeDude , desauce
Joe Kerr:   hunterpdjcloudinspektor_vossOutrageous , katahajime , horatiosanchez , 
Psychicdeath:   SonnensSyringedielegende23UltramagneticKnockoutsRock21 , bman518kallousklown , 
MMAWizzard: poir420benjaminbrandtamp112JeremyBrigham81 . CthulhuJones , MikeLovesTacos XD , 


So Lopati has the next pick.


There is also a suggestion from OldManGloom that the teams be expanded to twelve people each.  OK'ed for a vote by the commissioner, with the following captains voting yes so far: MMAWizzard, Yossgold


Add me as a yes vote as well, but I have a suggestion in regard to twelve-person teams. It makes sense and would seem to help let more of those who want to participate do so, particularly the new folks.  I'm slightly concerned that the pool of people who want to participate might not be much more than the 72 who would make up six 12-person teams, which could be a problem as the season wears on, and teams inevitably cut a person or two.  


My suggestion is that 12-person teams drop their bottom two scores, instead of just the one low score as in past seasons. That would insulate them from getting a loss because they had to drop a person and couldn't get a replacement quick enough. (The empty place would be a dropped score of zero until a replacement was found)  Just a suggestion.  Keeping it at one dropped score would still work, just put more pressure on the captain to replace a person who he cut quickly. All moot, of course, if the 12-person team suggestion loses the vote.

I don't have a team name yet.  I've rolled around a few possibilities in my head, from "The Lizard Kings" to "War Machine's Cellmates" (which I promptly rejected as being in poor taste despite the fact that 10 guys with baseball bats sharing a cell with Koppenhaver makes me smile).  Anyway, once the draft is done, I'll take suggestions from the team.

I'm OK with not being picked, only been a member for 2 months, but by next year, you guys will be begging me to be on your team.  At the rate I am picking I will be a rainbow belt and have 20,000 picks already.
