File is uploading now. No website this sim.
THERE IS NO NEED TO EXPORT THIS SIM! I will NOT be importing any teams. I will input draft picks and then run a sim.
The Rule 5 draft will take place offline over PM. Just send a simple list of who you want, in what order you want, and how many you want. Remember, they must stay on your MLB roster all year unless traded or released, you can't demote them to minors this year.
NO NEED TO PM ME SAYING YOU ARE NOT SELECTING A PLAYER, just send a PM with your TEAM NAME and RULE 5 in the title IF you are wanting a player. Otherwise, it gets hard to track messages.
Export deadline for Rule 5 PM lists is Thursday at noon central time.

In other news,
I have been thinking long and hard about the amount of time and effort I am currently and have previously put into the BSL in general. In December, we had our 4th anniversary as an online league. With two growing boys, a full time job, and other things vying for my free time, I have decided that it is in the best interest for the torch to be passed on. When Nick stepped down and I temporarily took over, I wasn't planning on doing this again long term.
I am in the process of slowly teaching Heath how to run the simulations. It will be a trial and error process, but I think he is capable in the long term of getting things down. I will still be around in an advisory role, and I will---at least temporarily---hold the commissioner title. The biggest change will be the person actually running the simulation, setting deadlines, entering the trades, dealing with roster issues/exports/etc.
It has burnt me out, to be honest. I love the league. I don't want it to go away. I just need to find a path to step back without blowing things up. I may very well ask for others to take on some roles in the league as well. I would prefer if things were a bit more democratic, but also avoid the bureaucracy and time that comes along with voting on everything, etc. It has never been my intention to rule this thing with an iron fist, but to be honest, it has served us well for the most part the last 6-7 sim years have went off without too many issues.
The timetable for a complete handover will probably be toward the end of the 2023 season. I will continually reassess the changes as they are implemented.
