I believe Onroto may actually allow leagues to set this, but if so, I am certain that the default is what I just said. As a general matter, it’s too much work to do anything else.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p><div><div style="border-right: medium none; border-width: 1pt medium medium; border-style: solid none none; border-color: rgb(181, 196, 223) -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color; padding: 3pt 0in 0in;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">From:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"> announce-bounces@usml.net [mailto:announce-bounces@usml.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>rickgam@comcast.net<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, May 26, 2011 1:37 PM<br><b>To:</b> USML Announcements<br><b>Subject:</b> [USML Announce] N.L.
