I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Congratulations to those who made the playoffs, good luck to you all going forward and I will have more playoff information in a day or two.  For everyone else, thanks for a great regular season and hang with me a bit longer as we have some business to complete before you are off for the offseason (see below)  Keep up with those game contacts asap and good luck to all in the wild card round.

 

It’s time for awards nominations.  I have set up an easy poll for you guys to fill in, just follow the link provided and post your nominations for each of the awards.  Nominations are due by Sunday, January 6th at midnight. http://kwiksurveys.com/s.asp?sid=e8fqd80hm08ctf564526

 

Also, it’s ballot proposal season now.  I would like to have all ballot proposals put in by Sunday, January 6th and we will vote on them shortly thereafter.  Please, I need fully thought out proposals that we can discuss and refine as necessary and keep in mind that something that will benefit the league as a whole is much more likely to pass, so be careful on the wording.

 

I can’t stress enough that need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game export when the game is complete.  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 12/7, 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.  Also, be sure you give me a enough names.  Week 2 there were 15+ injury requests, if you are a good team, you will need to list 3, 4 or more names to be sure you get a player you want.

 

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.
