Labor Day News: More leagues per user, better auto draft, and much more...

So much for a restful weekend for your dedicated webmaster - the holiday gave me some time to make some big updates!

First, I've expanded the max leagues per user to 10. I honestly never thought people would want more, but many have asked for it. I'd advise you keep a spot or two open just in case a new league comes up that you want to join down the road.

Also, I will accept Quit requests between seasons in Auto Leagues. If your Auto League season has finished and you don't plan to re-draft, you can Quit to free up a slot rather than wait to get removed.

You've probably noticed the new My League List page. I often got frustrated not remembering which league a particular team was in. Now you can easily see which league your teams are in and jump to your My Team page.

I've tweaked the Auto Drafts again to allow for more variety. Now, the players you see from draft to draft will be random, which should help balance the draft and keep it fresh for those who play in a lot of Auto Leagues.

Finally, I've rolled out a Global Message Center so you can communicate outside of individual leagues. This should be helpful for those looking to start a new league, discuss ideas, recruit owners, etc.

Speaking of creating a new league - I think it's a good idea to get familiar with the site and play in a few Auto Leagues, meet some users, and then request a league of your own if you want to start one. I hope this helps more successful leagues get started, because the real power of this site will shine when people start getting creative and running their own leagues while making online friendships.
