Hello BFHL GMs
Next time you log in you'll see the place has under gone a slight facelift. I hope it will be easier to navigate the site. It's very much a work in progress as I didn't get time to implement a lot of other things I had in mind.
A big pain in the past has been navigating the site and viewing the league output files in these stupid little fixed windows. I've tried to fix that in two ways. First, there is now a direct access to teams row at the top. Just trying to get to roster quick? It's up there. Second, we now get a lot of direct links to the output files with a custom header. Third, we still have these fixed boxes as an option, but now the site is variable width so those of you with massive 22" 1080p monitors and up can take full advantage of all that real etate.
The art work in the header is a rotator and if you've got some items you'd like to contribute to the rotator, please fee free to send it my way. All I ask is to be sure to have it formatted correctly, try to make it match the site somewhat and keep in mind the elements sharing the same space.
I have processed FAs and Prospects to the time of this email. FA List is updated. Here is the current state of teams player counts, I'd like to have the teams that are highlighted much closer to the 35 player mark by Wednesday.

Some of you will notice a nice bump to all your bank accounts. We want to start taking finances more seriously this year. What we've ton was bump up the bottom team account to have something to play with and bump everyone else's by the same amount. Note that further account bailouts by the league will directly result in a penalty towards your Salary Cap until it is paid back.
We'll have a few more gaming options this year in addition to the BFHL Lotto. I hope for those details to be announce very soon by our Gaming Commissioner. :)
I also want to experiment with people's arena management. To help with the fantasy aspect of this, I hope to give you more meaningful Arenas by picking a configuration based on NHL Arenas. Look at the arena configurations here and let me know which one you want!
Ok way too much talking, those that are behind, get your teams up to the 35 player limit (or someone will do it for you)
Thanks for reading!
