    it is the best I can come up with:

    1. We will stay on this page and play in the Yahoo rooms until they actually close them.
    2. On the day they close we will post a link on this page to a Case room to play in in POGO for 30 days.
    3. After 30 days we will do a test in Mystical.
    4.That should bring us to about the first of June if Yahoo stays on the schedule they announced.
    5. If Yahoo brings back pino in a form the ladders can play on, so be it, we will have not lost anything on the Case page or members.
    6. Game Desire would have a chance during that time to see if they can get the game programmed and rooms dedicated to us (free).
    7. No one would lose any stats, ranking, etc. by keeping on using this Case page. And more members might be attracted to signup for this Ladder on the other sites. The playing sites don't care where members signup, so new members could be directed here.
    8. There is no established Case Team Ladders with any significant membership for a transfer. If we put up the transfer button and teams members transfer their account, then this Case site would not be used, you would report and have your stats etc on a new ladder.
    9. About transfers, If you are a LIFE GOLD, your membership reverts to a one year gold only. Also you cannot transfer your account to a MyLEague using the transfer account option. Platinum and Diamond can use their extended premium memberships anywhere of course.
    10. If all else fails, then the transfer account button could still be used, later, rather than sooner.

    These points will also go out in a mail to all members, and I will get with Sherry, your TDM to discuss any adjustments on tourney side for the TD's. I would also post later, after meeting with the LadderOps, about differences in POGO and Mystic that might need rule change tweeks here during the transitions.

    Sorry all, but this is the only options, besides the account transfer button, which in effect would close this ladder the day Yahoo shuts down.

        I do have rooms reserved for the pino ladders on POGO, both for singles and teams and a combined tourney room. I want to make sure the links will work to POGO before I say anything about the rooms, so as not to confuse anyone, as if things are not confused enough already :)

          Thanks for all you efforts and attempts to make the transition as painless as possible.
