chesapeake, Breeze, SirFozzie, and Rawhide: your players will be entered into the draft for the 1997 season. (Did I miss anybody?) Thanks for signing up!
By the way, in keeping with the simple nature of this dynasty, the draft won't be anything elaborate, just something that will loosely simulate FOFC players getting drafted into the NARC.
Rawhide: I have to say that the Alternative Rugby League dynasty was one of the best I ever read here. That was partially the reason I first looked into rugby, both union and league. So thank you very much for your comments!
I'm certainly enjoying this one. I do think that keeping track of player statistics (tries, conversions, etc.) would be better, but not at the cost of enjoyment. So I'm glad that you all are enjoying this humble dynasty, even without the stats.
