smozoma Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have decided that this will be my last season running the Blitz 94 league. I'll always be around to do database stuff if necessary, but I'd like to offload as much of the work as possible. So, here is the list of essential blitz tasks and requirements... I need people to take over these things (certainly 1 person can do more than 1 task, and more than 1 person can work on the same task). This season I'll try to limit my roles to "coordinator of coordinators" and database/website manager. I'll also try to involve an 'understudy' for the database, who can take over next season. Running a season: League coordinator (find out who's playing, manage waiting list, etc) Draft coordinator (keep everyone informed of deadlines, manage draft lists, etc) Database and website manager (update database for the draft, regular season, playoffs.. ) ROM creator ... probably some more... Hopefully the people who have been involved with running GDL can either take some of these jobs or can help out with some ideas for how to run this league. For instance, I think GDL has some kind of 3-person team for handling some things, some decisions? www.blitz94.com Website: Web host (~100/yr) Domain name (~$10/yr) I've never cared about the costs. The problem is, I piggy-back my own personal website inside the same host package as the Blitz website, but if I'm going to give someone else access to the Blitz website/database, then I need to get a separate host package for my personal websites, so I'd rather just have someone else do the hosting. Maybe I'll keep ownership of the domain name... So, please contact me on AIM, or post here, to volunteer to help out this season. Thanks, smozoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokkeefan Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I would've loved to help with draft but I will be working 72 hrs a week for the next 3-4 weeks.Then I am off for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 i can help with draft coordinating and help with rom/roster updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA Robbie Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just wanna say you guys that do this stuff are amazing, and do so much that the guys whining about organisation etc don't even realise. You are so appreciated & highly regarded. I promise you it's appreciated. Unfortunately i'm in the process of starting my own business & barely have time to even play anymore! Obviously I helped a little with the last classic, but even that's not an option at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The cost of the hosting/domain comes out to an average of around $5/player per YEAR. That's peanuts, even for students, for an amazing league that can realistically have 2 seasons a year. Let us know how we can donate -- PayPal? I will help in anyway I can to keep this great league going, just let me know if you can use any of my services. I can: * Manage active players, waiting list, deadlines, etc. * Organize and run a draft (10 years as a fantasy football commish helps there, ) * Provide status updates, commentary, general league news as the season/playoffs progress (last update on blitz homepage was Dec 10, 2010! ) I guess all of that falls under "help running a league". Luckily we have 6 previous seasons already completed, so this is more like handing the baton over than anything. I can't (not yet at least): * edit ROMs * manage website/database (though I'm happy to assist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupuck19 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 ROM and Website - out of my lg... Draft coodinator - afraid of the wrath of hokkee but would still be willing to :D I could help out though with coordinating the waitlist and coordinating teams seems simple enough if any help is needed.

smozoma Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Your last blitz? Why? No time, I have other things I'd rather spend my time on. It used to be fun to do, but now it's just work preventing me from doing new things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da94wookiee Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'll volunteer as database / website manager. Currently I'm about halfway through a grad school course in ASP.NET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdeathsbloodx Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I can easily help out with getting the rosters on the ROM all squared away and maybe some other things like learning the database if I have time between work and writing for my friends and I new website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carse Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I can be league coordinator.. I think it'd be good because I know a lot of your rules and how you settle things about playoffs etc. so it'd work. Also, It'd be nice for a group of us to run this stuff w smoz's help thids season, so we can get GDL going after this blitz if swos is still MIA.
