Dear Moxieball.com Newsletter subscribers.

During the next few weeks, Commissioner Reid will be actively recruiting Moxieball players
throughout eastern Canada.  His stops will include Prince Edward Island, which is a haven for
young athletes just yearning for that perfect game...  Then he is off to Centreville New
Brunswick where Bud and the boys will be shakin' the recruits out of the woods.  

We wish the Commissioner a safe and fruitful trip (more fruitful than the Ireland trip we hope)
and he returns with recruits who might actually play every now and then.  

As always, keep your eye on the can and don't bobble!

Dear MBA Members.

As you may already know, Moxieball.com has been forced to drop www.listbot.com
as its newsletter email provider.  They are requiring members to upgrade or
cancel.  Guess what, we like free!  We have decided to try www.coollist.com as
our email list service.  Let me know what you think since you the fan mean so
much to us at Moxieball.com.

Also, many of you have been chomping at the bit to know what's in the Members
Only section of Moxieball.com (especially you Jeff).  Well, it's now open to the
public.  Simply use the User Name of "mba" and a password of "moxieball" and
you'll get right in!  Of course, if you just used your noggin and viewed the
source html from your browser, you would have found that out already.  Very
secure!!!

Thanks again for your support and as always, keep your eye on the can and don't
bobble.

Sincerely.

Dear MBA Fans. 
 
Thanks for your patience during the recent MOXIEBALL.COM outage.  We have 
resolved our DNS issues and will now be available 24/7/365. 
 
The Commissioner of the MBA, Bill Reid, has recently returned from his 
annual summer hiatus.  League Headquarters is now open for business as we 
head into the fall. 
 
There should be game and statistical updates very soon as the players have 
been chomping at the bit to continue the fifth season of the MBA.   
 
Also, a chat session with all the players of the MBA will be coming 
sometime in mid September.  An invitation  will be delivered to all fans 
of the MBA along with some chat session guidelines. 
 
As always, keep your eye on the can and don't bobble.

Dear MBA Fans. 
 
As many of you already know, the Moxieball web site www.moxieball.com has 
been unreachable for several weeks now.  The agent, responsible for making 
sure that our domain name (MOXIEBALL.COM) is visible on the internet, has 
seemingly disappeared.	Our web host, Gary Cyr at 
www.businessshowroom.com, is also affected but is working on a resolution 
as we speak.   
 
We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused by the web site's outage.	We 
estimate that we will be back on-line within two weeks. 
 
------------- 
 
We will soon be posting a schedule of chat sessions with your favorite MBA 
stars.	Look for this in early September. 
 
As always, keep your eye on the can and don't bobble.

Dear MBA Fans;

Now is your chance to play MoxieBall and other MBA games on-line.

If you are new to the MBA and haven't had that rush of adrenaline (or
mocaine as some would suggest) trying to outscore your opponent in an
Official MBA game or MBA sanctioned exhibition tournament, then log onto
www.moxieball.com today!  We have several new and exciting games for you
to try.  Get the feel for playing MoxieBall either alone or with an
opponent by playing our virtual singles or doubles MoxieBall game.  Or if
you're into more cerebral interludes, try the new MoxieBall Cross Word or
Jig Saw Puzzles.  Of course there's still the MBA Pop Quiz.  You'd better
brush up on your knowledge of MoxieBall before hand though.  This quiz is
geared for the more serious MBA fan.  Even our esteemed Commissioner
William C. Reid struggled with this one.

Thanks to our new fans for signing up for the MBA Newsletter.  And
remember, keep your eye on the can and don't bobble.

Dear MBA Fans; 
 
The Commissioner of the MBA William C. Reid announces planned visit to 
Italy in hopes of expanding league operations.	On his journey, the 
Commissioner hopes to "recruite players, look for suitable new franchises 
and a possible site for an international headquarters."  Bill's last visit 
to europe was relatively unsuccessful in it's goals.  Here is an excerpt 
from Bill's last trip to europe: 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
MBA League Reporter: 
Your trip doesn't seem like it was very fruitful. 
 
Commissioner: 
No, it was a disappointment. 
 
MBA League Reporter: 
Do you think that the league may persue expansion in other regions in 
light of your recent trip to england. 
 
Commissioner: 
I think that maybe we should look to the third world countries in the 
future. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
We hope that the Commissioner has a fruitful trip and has some great 
stores to tell upon his return.  Look for a post-trip interview at 
www.moxieball.com upon the Commissioner's return from Italy later this 
month.

Dear MBA Fans;

The Awards Ceremony and Annual Meeting following the Fourth MBA Season
were held this past Sunday in conjunction with Father's Day events.
Verbest Nerve Food's Jon Reid hosted the gathering.  

All members were in attendence for the festivities.  Tim of Modox was
presented the Fourth Season MBA Champion Shirt and USNSP for best regular
season winning percentage.  Chris, Jon and Bill received some less coveted
awards which can be found at
http://hammer.prohosting.com/~moxie/mbabanq4.htm

Directly after the Awards Ceremony the Annual Meeting began.  There was
far less discussion than previous meetings but it was a fruitful meeting
none the less.  A handful of new or modified rules were voted in.  The
minutes for this meeting can be found at
http://hammer.prohisting.com/~moxie/mbameet4.htm

On a side note, the MBA web site is still waiting to be moved to it's
final destination of www.moxieball.com.  We are still ironing out some of
the details.  Look for the new location to be available by the end of the
week.

Sincerely,
WWW.MOXIEBALL.COM Webmaster

We at MBA Headquarters have many things in store for you this year.

New areas have been added like the Awards Banquet, Annual Meetings, and
Exhibition Play sections.  The Procedures section is being enhanced with
the rule books from each previous season.  Many new photos have been added
throughout the site.  Please take the time to browse the site.

There has also been movement regarding holding a simple Awards Banquet and
Annual Meeting for the Fourth MBA Season.  Details will be announced when
they become available.
