You should be able to create a league, or activate a league from last year, at any time.

Fred, thanks for the reply. I tried several times but no  luck so far. I assume that I should get a league ID after filling out the "form" like the other leagues Iv'e started. But no ID results. Any ideas? Ralph

Hi Ralph,

Is it a Playoff Rankem league you are trying to create? What kind of error are you getting?

Fred, thanks. After several tries I was able to start a Playoff league. Problem is that I wanted to set up a new Survivor and Playoff league, but 2 Playoff leagues were established. Can one be changed? How are completed Leagues removed.from "MY LEAGUES"? Thanks Ralph

Hi Ralph,

If you created a new league by mistake and don't want to use it, just let me know the name of the league and I'll take care of removing it for you. However, our policy is to not remove leagues that were active and completed. We believe its in your best interest to have the option to keep the league going next year and retain all the stats, such as your league's all time best and worst, 'Past Champions', etc. If you come back next year but want to run a different league or start fresh, you'll have the option to hide your old inactive leagues from your 'My Leagues' list.

Fred, okay. I started a new league to replace the bogus one. No need to remove the bogus one; I had the players that joined withdraw.

Overall  your web site is pretty cool. Perhaps you could consider adding options to the tie breakers. In my opinion there is some skill in the Survivor and Loser pools by studying the schedule, etc. But to then lose because of SOV points seems "punitive".We are using "none".

Thanks again, Ralph

Thanks for the feedback Ralph! I added your suggestion to our list of future enhancements. I also have quite a few mention they like the SoV as it adds its own strategy to the mix, ie those behind in SoV are forced to consider not taking the favorite to try to catch the leader (and it compels the leader to take the best available favorite). It would be ideal to make it up to the league if they want to use it as te tie-breaker, so we'll try to add this next year.
