    We need some volunteers to participate. It doesn’t require any commitment or minimum effort, or responsibility. Just gives you access to help fix errors and update information on the player pages from a link on the main site, just like the “AddABlurb” tool, as your copius free time allows.

    There’s no age requirement, just a working knowledge of Google and Wikipedia for fact checking, and command of the English language. We’re going to be adding a lot of new data/stats here in the not too distant future, and we want to make sure we keep all the player records comprehensive and accurate.

    Please let me or Zach or Calli know if you are interested in helping, or we could possibly draft you regardless. Consider yourself warned.
