John Toto RIP

John Toto was a large man. He lived life even larger. I will echo the thoughts/comments of so many others. John, you will be sorely missed. I met John via email back in the winter of 2005. He submitted a Full Team Form and entered the Irish Car Bombs in the Sunday Coed B Division for the spring seas...

Re: Female Eddie Definition

There is no kidding here. I take this very seriously. There is no question in my mind there are managers in this league that would have a male player dress up as a female just so they could meet eddie requirements and have a 'leg up' on the competition.

Re: Female Eddie Definition

Perfect! Just what I needed. The league does not have a policy on that... yet. We will cross that bridge if/when we get to it.

I've often mentioned to people I do these tournaments to give back to league members. Some can understand that statement, most cannot. All people seem to see is the money coming in and never bother to give the money going out a second thought. I've ignored the money comments for a long time, but I j...
