First of all.. thanks to the last 2 posters, as I appreciate any thoughtful comments.

Now I know I'm gonna hear something from someone when I say this.. and if I do I'm going to be upset. I talked to the other 5 owners in KCB (2 hadn't responded to any emails within a week, so they were pretty much gone) and we decided to fold the league, as a unanimous decision.

I was told from 2 OOTP friends that with such a short season, we were bound to run into problems like players unable to grow due to the fact they don't play many games. So I discussed it with every owner, and we all decided to fold the league now, that way no one would be wasting any more time. I now see why people don't run "special" leagues, and they stick to the basic 140 to 162 game season. We all felt like there would be too much manual work and problems to keep such a small league going. Therefore, KCB will not be in operation. I'm very disappointed because I felt like I had something to prove to the people who said I was a bad commish, but I wasn't able to due to mechanical league problems.

So to the joy of many owners, I will stop commishing for as long as needed. I feel like I've put too much of a burden on people who tried hard. I am currently in 2 great run leagues, and what I will do is learn from these commissioners on what it takes to be a stand out comissioner, and I will build back my trust and reputation as a "very active owner, who devotes his ideas to leagues", and hopefully will be known as "Jaryd the classy owner" instead of "Jaryd the shi*ty Commish".

Therefore, I would like to apologize to a certain few:

Specs- Sorry man... you are a great and well experienced owner, and I realize how furious you must have been with a rookie commish like me who had problems. You were right all along, and now I see that

Batter up &Spleen- Sorry to you as well.. as you taught me that respect for owners is more then anything, and I should respond to every single email to let people know what is going well

JDScorch- You were one of my fav. owners in TBTC. You really were a great guy, and I loved talking with you about league matters. Sorry I let you down
