Okay, I have gotten responses from all league members concerning participation in UTBA-II Season 4.

22 of 24 members will be returning.

2 members have decided to drop out of the league:

bigMatt
kenyan cheena

Both guys were quite active in the league dating back to the original UTBA league and will be missed. Thanks to both of you for your contributions throughout the past couple of years...

With their departure, there are going to be 2 openings. I have previously received one request for entry and will be sending out an invitation. If anyone else would like to join or knows of anyone interested, please let me know...

Once a 24th member has been added, I will start posting a few polls on possible rules changes and/or suggestions that have been talked about recently.

Here is a short list of items to be voted on:

• Fighter Contracts / Bidding System
• Adding Fighters to stock TBCB 2.5 Database
• League Members choosing fighters to add to Free Agent Pool
• Conducting the Season 4 Draft
• Drafting of Cornermen each season / Each team shall have different trainers/cutmen - no duplicates

If there are any more suggestions, please let me know.

After a quick word with Scot (SAL), we have agreed that I will continue running the league for the forseeable future as his time has been limited lately. That being said, UTBA-II will still be a one-man show with regards to running matches and compiling stats - so please bear with me if updates do not come out as quickly as everyone is used to. I have been very busy at work and the next 4-6 months are only going to get worse. I mention this because any rules changes that are decided upon need to be kept simple. The league runs pretty well right now and I am a fan of the "Keep It Simple - Stupid" method of things.

Over the next couple of days, I will post some more 'Stuff' which may or may not be interesting.

Finally, PM me if you would like the latest DB. Please include your e-mail (just in case I somehow lost it)

Thanks again for everyone's continued participation
