I gotta give my allegiance to Motown, but all the teams look amazing.

Thanks! Be sure to hit up the fan support form to make FB official.

Just noticing this and everyone looks spot on! I ultimately went with Ohio because A) They look pretty good and B) I have roots there so go Republic!

Welcome and thank you! I've been pleasantly surprised at how Ohio Republic has been very well received.
 

I'm really enjoying all the support in these early days of the series! We've got fan supporters signed up for 9/10 clubs and lots of great prospects coming in. I'm also taking notes on how y'all are voting in the team focus. If you haven't voted for your club, be sure to do so soon before the inaugural draft to influence team decisions.

Speaking of the draft...


Commissioner Emerson conducted the inaugural draft lottery in the presence of a third party accounting firm just to make sure no shenanigans were involved. Toronto Fox won the lottery and will pick first overall for the new league. The draft will proceed in order for the first 5 rounds and then switch to a serpentine draft order for the remainder of the draft until every team has filled out their rosters.

With tons of prospects signing up for the draft, scouts for every team are shifting into high gear to sort through them all and figure out which players will best suit their team focus.

I'm going to try to include as many of y'alls prospects in this inaugural draft as I can, but any left over will go into the prospect pool for future drafts so they will all make it in eventually.

I will post a primer of the top prospects before draft day, which I may stream live if anyone is interested in that.

Don't mind me. Just your ordinary Libby coming in for draft day.

No teams on the west coast???

Give it time. You don’t give a man a peanut and expect him to have a farm the next day, and I think that’s the direction Steel went with for the league.
