CARDS
-----
Thank you to Sean for putting in all the work to create this year's cards.
They are not official yet, but please look them over and let us know if you
find
any possible errors:

TEAM CHANGES
------------
The Havana Habaneros have changed their name to the Sparkle City Sluggers.

Astute IBL historians may recall that the current New York Knights
franchise went
by the Sparkle City Sluggers name for four years, winning the IBL
championship
as the Sluggers in 2007.

Casper Ghosts ownership decided they could no longer tolerate the cold
Wyoming
weather, so they packed up the team bus and migrated to the sun soaked
beaches of...
New Hampshire.  They will now be known as the Southern New Hampshire
Spectre.


HELP NEEDED
-----------
Nelson has once again appealed for help with PAD, as his free time for the
IBL
will be limited this year.  If there are any associates or anyone else
available
to join him as a manager or co-owner, or just help play the games and/or
manage
the roster for a while, please let us know.


SCHEDULE
--------
Once we've had a few days to check and finalize the cards, I'll decide on a
date
for Opening Day, allowing enough time for people to print cards and get
prepared.
In the meantime, please send in your week 1 active roster and your week 1
home
rotation.


WEB SITES
---------
The IBL site (ibl.org) and Almanac (almanac.ibl.org) should be up-to-date
with
rosters, schedule, starts/limits, usage, etc. ready for the new season.  If
you
see any missing information or any pages not working correctly, let us know.
