I. MESSAGE
FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Things are
starting to get busier and it seems the contacts are slipping a little bit,
please try and make sure you get your games set up early in the week in case we
need to help out and get you a sub.
Now we have just two undefeated teams and they seem to be on a collision course
to meet in week 12, but will either still be undefeated?
New Orleans is a juggernaut that runs over everything in their way while
Philadelphia has turned things around quickly and in a big way to stay with them
at 5-0. Just 1 team searching for
their first win now as the Packers try and get things going but a visit from 4-1
Houston may defer that win for another week. Game files are located on the
website and are ready for week 6.
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
8/10/17 ***
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.
