I. MESSAGE
FROM THE COMMISSIONER
The bye week
is here for Thanksgiving, hope you all have a great holiday. It also means we
have just 3 weeks left in the season and while the top teams appear to be
pulling away it appears the wild card spots will go right down to the final week
before anything is decided. In the
AFC Houston, Indi and San Fran all appear to be locked into the playoffs and
have big leads in their divisions.
In the NFC Carolina, Philly and New Orleans are in the playoffs while
Jacksonville is in control of the East and St. Louis holds a slim lead in the
Central.
I am looking
for potential owners right now if you know anyone who is interested in the
league, I need an owner in Dallas and would like some names to get ready in case
we have more openings after the season.
Game files are located on the website and are ready for week 15.
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
10/31/17 ***
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.
