Some thoughts as I move on:
A) This is a really neat league with lots of fun personalities and good message board communication. Keep up the good work!
B) I love the wheel draft. I wish I could get some other leagues to adopt it. It is a great concept and I hope it continues to work well for everyone here.
C) I just can't do numbers. I hate them. They give me a headache. I don't understand how I can enjoy this simulator so much with letter grades, but with number grades I just cannot enjoy it the same.
Good luck to everyone moving forward! I wish the whole league the absolute best.
I will not be renewing.

I know that it doesn't happen until the end of October, but you guys should start recruiting new owners now. If you have someone ready and able to jump in, I'm willing to leave sooner. If not, I'll run the team to the end of the term as if I were staying.Some thoughts as I move on:

I have to say however, that I'll never understand why people complain about numbers when you can switch your prefs to show letters. If you don't like the exactness of seeing numbers, and would prefer a little mystery in where players are in their skills, that's understandable. But honestly, the whole numbers gives me a headache thing, really boggles my mind.

Thanks for the heads up Hammy! We'll find someone in time for the next term. If they prefer to take over sooner, we can arrange that too. I'm glad you like the wheel draft, hopefully it's adopted by more leagues, as I think it's the single best way to stop the hard core tanking.I have to say however, that I'll never understand why people complain about numbers when you can switch your prefs to show letters.

Willy, you can't just "turn them off" and pretend they don't exist in a numbers league. It is deliberately playing with a disadvantage. I can't do that. "Headache" is perhaps not literally true, but it is as close a proximate that I can come up with. I enjoy some measure of inexactness with players. And the numbers just spoil that for me.

So i agree with Willy, doesn't really make any sense.

You can use letter grades with numbers on players cards only which is basically just keeping track of your players' actual numbers manually made automatic. So the only 'disadvantage' would be that everyone is now keeping track of players' numbers instead of only a select few hardcore owners.So i agree with Willy, doesn't really make any sense.
