A bug was brought to my attention that prevented teams from being drafted manually. When checking to ensure the drafted team contained unique members, the check would always come back with an error. I believe that this issue has been fixed. You should be able to draft teams manually now. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused when trying to set up your league.
If you spot any other bugs or problems with the site, let me know and I can try to get those fixed.

200 Users!
Wow! There are now over 200 people registered to play Congress: The Game. I want to thank everyone who has signed up, liked the site, tweeted about it, or anything to help get it here. I hope we can keep growing the site and have some awesome new features as it goes forward.
It appears that some high school government classes have found the site and started playing in their classes. This is great! I hope the game can be a fun educational tool for keeping students engaged and interested in politics. If there is anything that you want or need to make this a better tool for your classroom, please let me know. I would love to work with the users to make this site better for everyone.
Once again, thank you to the first 200+ Congress: The Game players. You are awesome!

Pick 2 senators and 5 representatives for the coming week. Your team needs to be picked before midnight on the Saturday preceding the week.
Select another period to view your team''s performance and the leaderboard for that week.

Random Drafting Now Available
Today I was able to add a feature that allows for a commissioner to draft random members to players' teams. This option is available on a team by team basis. If there is someone who just doesn't really care who is on their team, but still wants to play you can leave them out of a draft now. Hopefully, this feature will be useful to facilitate a quick start to the game. The random selection will pull from senators and representatives who have not already been assigned a team.
Also, I was able to automate the updating processes today. This should mean for more consistant updates and more reliable information.

113th Congress is in Session
The 113th Congress convened today and I have updated the databases to reflect the new session. Drafting new members can occur and playing can start as soon as the teams are drafted
I am working on a 'how to play' page that should give some more direction to the site. If there are any specific questions you want answered, let me know and I can be sure to answer them.
