It is essentially impossible to get into any PBEM soccer
league without a 6+ month wait.  The wait is indefinite for LEFL
since I have no plans to expand and only see 1-3 managers dropping
out in the forseeable future (a pessimistic estimate).

The basic problem is that there are too many players and not
enough commissioners.  Being a player in LEFL/EEFL will require about
1 or 2 hours per week of your time to maintain a good team.  This can
go up if you like a lot of interaction with other managers.  Being
a commissioner in LEFL requires about 4 hours per week of my time,
but that time has been shaved down substantially with experience.

On the LEFL code page, there is a link to the source code
for LEFL.  It comes with a README file and several other helpful files
to get you started.  If you have some knowledge of Unix and C and
want to be a commissioner, feel free to download the code.  I don't
promise to support the code in any way (it's not even MY code, but
the original author won't promise support either).

So...the resources are out there waiting for more
potential commissioners to make use of them.  Until new volunteers
come on the scene, don't expect openings.

You can also follow links from this page to find pages about
other soccer leagues.  There are really only two active, and the EEFL
is probably the only one with a reasonable wait list (and that may have
gotten up to an average wait of a year or more by now).
