I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Another solid week as the games were all done well inside of the deadline and game contacts have been going well, keep up the good
work guys!
Alex is still recovering, as soon as I know something more, I will let everyone know. Hank Sienzant has offered to run the Dolphins
until Alex returns and that works for me and is greatly appreciated, so please contact Hank for all Miami games until further
notice. Thanks!
There is a new Action file, dated 10/2, please be sure it is installed for this weeks games.
Dont forget, if you lose a player for 2 or more games, you can ask for an injury replacement, but it must be done the same week as
the injury, so dont wait, get those requests in right away and take advantage, especially the teams who are already challenged for
the amount of games they have to work with.
Reminder that you MUST send a boxscore and writeup to the league after each game. The home team is responsible for this, but either
team can do it, as long as it does get done. Also, you MUST send me the game export immediately after the game is complete. It takes
about 30 seconds, so I shouldnt have to chase you down for that file after a game, just get it in right away so I dont have to guess
whether a game has happened or not.
Other that this stuff, just keep up the good work and good luck to all for week 6!
