WHAT TO DO SHOULD NEW MANAGERS BE INTERESTED?
         If no manager has dropped out, the new managers have to wait until the five seasons are completed.  Again, this is the benefit of only making the league five seasons long.  Once it ends, we can start the league over with more or less managers as we should please.  Still, if a current manager drops out mid-league, I�d certainly be open to letting someone take his place.  However, there will be no re-draft for that manager�s benefit.  The reason is simple.  This is a keeper league with keeper implications and money involved.  A sacrifice should not have to be made by those who have been competing all along for the sake of someone who lost interest.  The other alternative would be to leave the team of the manager who dropped out as is, and just consider his players gone, and finish the league out that way.

APPENDIX (added 01.03.07): Although no more than 9 teams can ever be active during these first five seasons (for many reasons: most importantly, roster sizes were scaled for 9 teams, the Trading Tool was made for 9 teams, and the documents all read 9 teams) what is acceptable is to partner up with one or multiple different managers.  This allows the friend interested to participate on a sort of trial basis, as well as keep all settings for the 9 team league the same.  Then, after the five years have passed, should another league be started, and the friend interested in joining has shown the proper loyalty and motivation, he can now have his own team.  One major benefit of partnering with another manager is that you can both split the cost of your team (of course, you split the cost of your winnings too).
