Welcome back to the Hobby Group Break as we continue our 6th year together! I have the proposed product list below. Let me know as soon as possible if you are dropping or changing teams so I can keep the list accurate. Note also that if you are interested in joining but your team shows as claimed just let me know as we may have an opening in our "Hobby 2" group for you! I set the product list down to filling 25 teams instead of our usual 29 so hopefully we won't have to cut anything and will hopefully be able to add to the product list!

Just a note about the draft slots, I budgeted for one less slot than we need so after the list is randomized and we run through the draft, the person with the last slot in the draft will be awarded the last remaining TWO teams. This will hopefully eliminate the downside of getting stuck with the worst team in the draft. These picks are offered on a first come first serve basis to members of the group. You can buy one draft slot per owned team but if you would like more just let me know and I'll add you to the list if slots are available at the end. If we fail to sell all the slots needed to participants of the group I will have to offer them to folks outside of the break, but this is as a last resort only.

Cost: $50 ($47 for each additional) Extra Draft Slot: $22
Payment Due Date: Aug 17th
Break Date: Aug 24th

In.

BTW, the product line up looks great this month Chris

Thanks...tougher to put together with fewer teams claimed but hopefully we can add to it if we add a few more folks to the break!

In with the Rams and a draft spot.

Need to drop the Jags....

Dropping the Packers!

I'm in and I'll pick up Green Bay.

Dropping the Bears.

The end of an era! Sorry to see you guys dropping but I understand. List is updated.

If no one wants the Broncos I'll take them.

Are you looking to drop Mike? If so I'll take the Broncos but I'd much rather see you stay with the group. Just don't want you to feel pressure to.

Lol no that was just better then saying the same ole "I'm in" lol

Ahhhh...Bach.

I know!! I have filled out much of my Packers PC from this group...not much else I need. Time for someone else to play!!!

In and I will take a draft slot.

Even in cutting the budget we are still 3 teams short and looking for interested parties. Looking to get a longer list of drafters as well in case we don't fill those last 3 slots so we won't have to drop any of the better boxes.

Why not stay in the group with Seattle? That'll give you a lot of shots at Russell Wilson for years to come

Speaking of Seattle. Russell Wilson is looking as good as I expected

Chris,

I will take the Texans this month since they were so good to me last month. Also, I will take any draft slots that need to be taken for us to keep our line up and draft on time. If other people take the draft slots then great, but otherwise I will take them.

Thanks for helping out Jason!

i'm still in
Just sold off all my non dolphins and non psu stuff. Kinda crazy but made a nice lump of cash.

may be interested in the bears will let you know chris

Sounds good...keep me posted.

Payment sent for Rams plus draft spot...arrival in 5 business days.

We do have a slot so it's all yours!

payment in the mail and on the way

Draft slot please.

Payment sent

Sorry Kev but the draft slots in this one should be sold out. We are still 1 claimed team short so if we can't sell it I'll probably take an extra team so we don't have to mess with the product list.

Payment sent today.

Hey guys. I picked up the Jags just to get us to our budget so we are all set. I will randomize the draft order in just a bit and we can begin our draft of unclaimed teams.
