It's still our view that the representatives should be the teams that win next season's league and we are expressing that to the Asian Confederation -- we are confident they will give us special dispensation even though our league will be the last to finish.

Clubs who cannot afford a marquee player for a whole season can look at tying up a big-name guest player for up to four weeks without effecting the salary cap.

Our focus has always been to anticipate the needs of agents and clients and meet them with the very best marketing and technology tools. Approximately 35 percent of all residential sales in 2004 were second homes. The Windermere Destinations program is in direct response to the steady increase of second home ownership and the need for specialized, results-driven marketing resources for these buyers and sellers.

2005 was a record-breaking year for luxury home sales throughout the West. The enhanced Premier Properties program provides powerful tools to serve both buyers and sellers of upscale homes. The Premier Web site complements the program's first-class marketing materials and exposure opportunities while supporting Windermere's unmatched capabilities in the luxury market.

That was probably the pinnacle of our rivalry. It started to heat up.
