Hello TSFFL Team Owners:
With the announced TSFFL Commissioner (Steve Stickles) retirement, Steve, Mike and Chuck recently met to officially transition the Commissioner role. Chuck will assume the lead role handling all organizational administrative responsibilities including finances and be present for the August pre-draft meeting and September player draft. Mike will be the on-site facilitator for re-entry drafts and any other pertinent on-site functions. Together, Chuck and Mike are committed to continuing to make the league a fun and enjoyable experience for all.
Though Steve is riding off into the sunset as the commissioner and participant of the TSFFL, he has committed to coming back to run our annual player draft :-). As we all know from experience, no one does it better than Steve! It has been a pleasure to have Steve as the leader of the TSFFL after the torch was held by Nick Bedway for so may years. We all owe him a much gratitude for his leadership and friendship. As inaugural members of the TSFFL founded by Dave Gillingham and Chuck over 35 years ago, Mike and Chuck are comfortable in insuring continued success moving forward. There are no plans to propose any significant rule changes so this should be a smooth transition.
One change that will take place pertains to the handling of the league fees. There will be no cash exchange at the league functions and we are asking that the entire entry fee be paid up front prior to the draft. Weekly and year-end payouts will be distributed Tuesday AM after all games are completed (similar to the 29 Board) so no one will need to wait to be compensated for their winning efforts. More to come on this and and other league plans, this summer.
For now, enjoy the off-season and know Chuck and Mike got this. If for any reason, you will not plan to keep your team ownership, please let one of us know.
Be well friends,
Chuck and Mike
