Re: Realignment? Reply #45 – October 26, 2017, 07:55:43 AM I like the broadcaster idea.Use that as a concept for the League names, keeping Mutiny Simulation Baseball as MSB rolls off the tongue pretty well.With the teams represented in each division, they could nominate their broadcaster, tv or radio and allow league vote to decide each.I have no idea as far as the League names under Mutiny.

Re: Realignment? Reply #46 – October 26, 2017, 08:14:35 AM I like the Scully League and the Caray League. Just as long as we don't have a Joe Buck league. Quote Selected 3 Likes
Re: Realignment? Reply #47 – October 26, 2017, 10:11:55 AM I vote we approve the latest realignment plan. I'm good with Broadcasters. Scully would be my vote. Quote Selected

Re: Realignment? Reply #49 – October 26, 2017, 02:24:18 PM I'd certainly throw Ernie Harwell's name out if we're nominating broadcaster for division names. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Realignment? Reply #50 – October 26, 2017, 03:52:33 PM I'm confused. I thought the divisions were regional names and we were discussing League names? Quote Selected

Re: Realignment? Reply #53 – November 01, 2017, 08:13:15 AM So the only wrench I'll throw in this is this: do we really want to move the Motor City Madmen, who lives in Hamburg, MI, which is 20 minutes from Ann Arbor and 55 minutes from Brooklyn, MI, to the East division? I know there is no ideal alignment right now (I'm looking at you Bulldogs!) as we are missing one final eastern team.Is there an owner among the Bulldogs, Rattlers, or Rum Runners who would be comfortable moving to the east? If it was the Bulldogs, you could move the Scurvy Dogs to the new West division and rename the other one the Northwest. If it was either the Rattlers or the Rum Runners, it's an easy switch for the Madmen. Quote Selected
Re: Realignment? Reply #54 – November 01, 2017, 08:49:26 AM I'm in one of those in between locations. If the goal is to keep us geographically in a region, I would prefer to stay in the central.Quote from: dgonser – on October 26, 2017, 06:49:06 AMRegarding website addresses, there is a long explanation for the URLs. They've only been used because they were convienent - believe it or not neither had anything to do with Mutiny when registered. One was for a board game Scott and I were working on and the other was for a horse racing simulation league (don't ask). If someone has a great idea for a catchy URL let me know...As for realignment I'm seeing no objections to the following. I'd be okay with it as long as we don't expect to realign every time an owner moves. Changing team names, moving divisions, etc. does require a significant amount of work for Rod, David and I as these things have implications in DMB, spreadsheets, website, etc. Now is the perfect time to do it as we will need to make these types of changes for expansion. Current proposed and damn near final realignment is:Western DivisionRainiers, Brewers, Cutty's, Nomads, SweetsSouthern DivisionAsterisks, Koi, Bombers, Bums, BulldogsCentral DivisionDogs, Rattlers, Kraken, Landlubbers, Rum RunnersEastern DivisionMadmen, OCD, ACLs, Cache Hogs, RobotsIs this the latest version, ignoring the division names being in flux?

Re: Realignment? Reply #56 – November 01, 2017, 09:07:21 AM I think if the Bulldogs move east, the Scurvy Dogs move west. So it would look something like this with changes to division names included:WNorthwestern DivisionRainiers, Brewers, Cutty's, Nomads, SweetsSouthernWestern DivisionAsterisks, Koi, Bombers, Bums, BulldogsDogsCentral DivisionDogsMadmen, Rattlers, Kraken, Landlubbers, Rum RunnersEastern DivisionMadmenBulldogs, OCD, ACLs, Cache Hogs, RobotsThough it does turn out that among Columbia, MO, Sioux Falls, SD, and New Orleans, LA, the first city is the closest (by about 110 miles) to Scottsdale, AZ where Jim lives.

I can tell you I'm not super happy about having to compete against Kyle, Rod, Jim, and Brendt, but c'est la vie. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Realignment? Reply #58 – November 02, 2017, 07:21:51 PM David,To be honest, I looked at that on a map and didn't really have an opinion that would make much of a difference. I've been to Chicago multiple times and it's within driving distance. I've never been to Arizona, but AFL or Spring Training should be on the agenda at some point.That is looking like one tough Western division. Quote Selected
