I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Guys, not sure what is up, but this season it seems to be very difficult to find subs to help out with games and it’s caused a couple of games to be simmed already and I’d like to avoid this if we can.  Hopefully more people will be available to help out going forward.  Also, please try and avoid playing games on Monday night and especially after 9 pm eastern as this will cause the game files to be late as I really can’t be staying up past midnight to get football files out as I usually work early the next day.  The help would be appreciated on all of this.  Otherwise another good week, thanks to all for working to get games done on time.  Trade deadline is 2 weeks away with another trade made this week with likely more to come. Game files are located on the website and are ready for week 8.  Please make sure you get started on game contacts asap, home teams should make contact by Wednesday and the game should be set up no later than Thursday of each week.

 

I can’t stress enough that you 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 moving along if it is missing at the deadline.

***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 08/14/15 *** 

 

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 enough names as the more injuries the more likely someone else already grabbed the guy 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.
