I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Week 16 is complete and the playoff races are in full swing (see below).  Make sure you get in contact with your week 17 opponent and good luck to all!  Keep in mind, we will be taking a break for the holidays, I will get out playoff files as I have time so if you want to play, you can, but I will likely be playing mine after the 1st of the year due to family in town.

 

I can’t stress enough that need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game export when the game is complete.  This is the second straight week that a host had something come up and forget to send me an export.  It takes about 30 seconds following your game to export it and send it to me.  Send your write up later on, that’s fine, but I MUST have the game export as soon as the game ends or I’ll have to sim the game to keep things.

 

A new game update is available dated 12/9, please get it from the ISFL website before you play any games this week. 

 

Don’t 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 don’t 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 shouldn’t have to chase you down for that file after a game, just get it in right away so I don’t have to guess whether a game has happened or not.
