I think there would be a lot less frustration if we just set the following expectation.
X.1 - by the end of March
X.2 - by the end of June
X.3 - by the end of September
X.4 - by the end of December

I'm going to ask again for an update re 19.2 on Monday.

Thanks,

Respectfully Bill,
Im not sure that's the case. They tend to do these things when a bunch of people start clamoring about it-
Rather than whatever the actual schedule is.

I disagree. I think SOM's problem is that they over-promise and under-deliver. The data migration exercise is more work than their staff can manage. Annual schedule for adding cards should look like this:

X.1 - by the end of June

+ maybe an unannounced bonus add near the end of the year.

So far (over the last 3 years), we are getting 4 adds per year and that is what the commitment from Strat was. As long as they deliver the add in the quarter it is for, I don't have a beef.

Thanks,
Bill

Aren't we getting teams added too? Might be why it's taking longer.

The 2 teams are part of the 19.3 add.

What are the two new teams?

D-Backs (primarily 1999)

This is a silly question.

Do we have an update?

Not yet. I'll continue to ask and at some point they will answer.

It is abundantly clear - from the recent narrowly averted Barnstormer's debacle - that SOM really only responds promptly when threatened with loss of revenue.

So I would suggest that we give them two months after submitting a new batch of cards to get the cards inputted into the ATG player set. After that just have the community agree to boycott buying credits or starting new teams until they get the cards in. Our only effective voice is with our pocketbooks and, pun intended, we all know the strength of numbers!
