I know it is bad form to reply to one's reply but I made some omissions and perhaps the tone of my last post can be mistinterpreted so I feel the need to clarify things.
First of all, I agree 100% with the points that Pokenaut made in his post, he speaks to the need of the players, their parents and other interested adults, in assuming responsibility for the continued success of the league.
This is a very valid point. The point I meant to stress and which perhaps was lost in the rest of the post was that the players are the league. League doesn't belong to any one person and it doesn't matter who is running it as long as they do the best they can to make sure things are done properly and order is maintained. The League belongs to York. It is the store owner's league and what becomes of it is based ultimately on his decisions, no one else's.
The players and parents are more than capable of continuing the league. My continued involvement with the league will be very short-lived.
I did not intend to negate any of Pokenaut's points and if I did, then I retract those statements.
The point I was trying to make was that the league at York will continue regardless of who is there and I hope it continues for a very long time. Both Pokenaut and myself did, as I am sure all League Leaders do, put an awful lot of time and energy, all strictly voluntary, into York. I too have many things I will miss about it. But there are also many things that I am glad to see an ending to.
I cannot post that league will continue weekly. I cannot give anyone a schedule or any further informantion beyond the Jan 10th date. I am trying to make the transition as easy as possible. That is what I meant by restructuring.
