A New Era Dawns

Welcome all to the new online home of the RMFFL. Before I get started I would like to thank Richard for all the hard work he has done, not only in moderating our previous website (which if he wants he can still continue to do) but in helping put together this site. The helmets at the top of the screen were created by him and without his help I could not have launched so soon.

Now many of you may be wondering what I will be using this space for. Well, no longer will I be e-mailing everyone any time something happens. Instead I will come on here and post an entry with the details. The blog will allow me to make the RMFFL more team-friendly; for instance:

• I will now be posting waiver-wire claims as I get them. No more e-mails from me saying that you cannot acquire a player. Just log on here and see if he has been claimed yet; if not, send that e-mail in.
• I will also be posting everyone's weekly starting lineup on here. I will wait until kickoff to post the lineups, but just after 1 pm on Sunday you can log on and see who your opponent is starting. I will make a special post for players that are active on Thursday or Saturday night.
• I also plan on updating scores as the week goes on. You can expect score updates on Thursday night or Saturday night if the situation warrants it, as well as score updates after the conclusions of the 1 pm, 4 pm & Sunday-night games. I hope that this will be a popular feature that everyone enjoys.

The items that I used to e-mail to everyone, such as the fan-favourite Weekly Wrap, will now be posted on here. No worries though, the excellence that you have come to expect from the Weekly Wrap will continue. In fact, I hope that the features on here will allow me to increase your overall enjoyment of the Weekly Wrap. On the sidebar you will notice some Weekly Wrap features (RMFFL Standings, Player of the Week, etc.). They will stay there throughout the week, but those features will still be present in the new online version of the Weekly Wrap.

Some things that will not be posted on here are rosters. With the fluidity of roster changes I would be bogged down with roster updates, so I plan on just continuing the process of e-mailing all of you an individual roster file. Only the changes made to the rosters will be written in the e-mail. For commentary on them (that I plan on giving, both positive & negative) you will have to log on here.

I hope everyone enjoys what I plan to offer on the site. I hope my plan for a more team-friendly experience is met. This truly is the dawning of a new day in the RMFFL.
