PLAYOFFS
---------------
Congratulations to the 2014 IBL Champion Casper Ghosts!

The Ghosts won a back-and-forth extra inning game in game one, then
carried that momentum through the rest of the series, winning the title
in a sweep over the Chicago Cougars.

The scores were 4-3, 14-7, 4-1, and 8-2.

It is Kevin's fourth IBL championship, with two different franchises,
and it came immediately after reacquiring the Casper Ghosts name.
Perhaps the Minnesota Snow Bears name was not quite intimidating enough.

DRAFT
-----
Thanks to everyone who helped run this year's draft.  It went smoothly and
I'm sure every player drafted will develop into a perennial All-Star.

Draft results are here:

TEAM NAME CHANGE
----------------
The Morin Heights Blues, looking to revitalize the franchise after a tough
season, have decided to pull up stakes and become known as the Edgemoor
Cannons
(EDG).  I am not sure where in the world Edgemoor is though...


CO-OWNER NEEDED
---------------
I believe we are still in need of a co-owner for the CSG franchise.
If you know of anyone interested, please let us know.
