NASA'S PACE SLOWS
The speed with which everyone completed their Cluster 6 games has
led to a short break in new results. But with Cluster 7 instructions
on everybody's desk, things should be picking up again.
The best race continues to be the battle for the Hobbs wild card,
as Kenmore clings to a three-game lead over Brussels. The division
leaders are coasting along with comfortable leads, although both Inwood
(in the Vaughn) and Mayne (in the Davis) have managed to trim
a bit off.
ADDRESS CHANGES
John Lemek leaves for a new job in Poughkeepsie, NY on June 20th.
He hopes to check his e-mail sporadically, and asks that all NASA
information continue to be e-mailed to him. He will be checking
in with a new snail mail address and phone number in July.
Rany Jazayerli is e-mailless again this summer. He can be reached at:
1600 Foliage
Wichita, KS 67206-3326
316 634 2150
Let's not let the lack of e-mail connections be a problem this year!
PLAYOFF FORMAT
Just a reminder that there is a new playoff format in effect
this year. The top two teams in each division advance to the playoffs,
with the two best records receiving byes. The remaining division winner
plays the lowest-seeded wid-card team not in their division.
In the next round, the teams will be re-seeded, with the team with
the best record in NASA playing the first-round survivor with
the worst record. Note that teams *may* be matched up against their
own division in this round.
I heartily encourage all playoff managers to try and play their series
themselves, either via phone, "talk", or the John Lemek-sanctioned telnet
site. If this fails, the commissioner's office, or a commissioner-
deputized NASA manager, will play the games.
RIP, er, RATE THE COMMISSIONER
OK, it's been about four months since Joe Leonard handed me the
reins. And while I *think* I've done a fairly good job, and
most of the informal feedback has been good, I'm trying to get
a sense of how my tenure is perceived by the league.
This isn't going to be anything formal, but if anyone, and this
includes the expansion trio, has comments, criticisms, suggestions...
anything which they would like to say about my performance so
far, or the league in general, I would heartily welcome their
input. Commenst broadcast to the entire league would, IMHO, be
the most beneficial.
Additionally, if anyone has suggestions for things to work on over the
winter: rules changes, league structure, et al...I'd love to hear
about them.
Some of my ideas for changes over the next year or so include:
adding new stat categories, centralizing card buying and distribution
(to avoid the problems we had this winter), increased use of
computer game options--sending disks with stats, instructions,
etc. Let me know what you think of these, and jump in with your own....

TRADES
CRB trades Terry Shumpert to YKM for Mike Perez and YKM rookie #6 (1996)
MSB trades complete freedom, control of the remote and bachelorhood
on June 17th, 1995 for true love, a lady's hand, a shiny gold ring
and an undetermined number of future draft picks.
Best wishes to Steve and his bride from the whole league!
Attached are rosters and a draft pick update. Note the roster
format has changes. Players are listed by position, then alphabetically.
I hope this makes searching for players to trade for easier.
