I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Thanks guys for getting everything in on time, just 5 weeks left in the regular season, so hopefully everyone stays on task and we can keep the hth games flowing to the end of the season. Playoff races are in full swing now with the NY Giants pulling away a bit in the NFC, followed by St. Louis and then 4 teams with 8 wins and then everyone else at least 3 games back of that.  In the AFC New England clinches the Central with their 11th straight win, while Dallas is a game clear in the West and the East is a dead heat between the Jets and Texans.  After that you have 4 teams fighting for the final two playoff spots over these final 5 games.  Miami and Minnesota continue the hunt for the first win of the season and trying to avoid the goose egg.

I am still looking for potential owners right now if you know anyone who is interested in the league, we need owners for Cleveland, Detroit and NY Jets and would like to fill these spots as soon as possible. Walt Sienzant is going to cover the games for Detroit for this coming season and Ed Minshull is going to cover the games for NY Jets for now as well.  Please try and be as flexible as possible when scheduling games with these two guys as they are playing twice as many games as the rest of us.  If anyone is interested in running St. Louis for the rest of the season I would appreciate the help (may be of interest to teams already out of the playoffs as the Rams appear to be getting an invite).

 

Game files are located on the website for week 12.  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 10/16/18 *** 

 

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.

This week in the NFC NY Giants win their big test over Jacksonville for a 2 game lead in the East and St. Louis just gets by Green Bay for a stranglehold in the Central.  Philadelphia ties Detroit but it is enough to stay a half game up out West as Carolina takes down New Orleans and all 3 teams are right at the top of the division.  Arizona beats Minnesota and Tampa Bay falls to San Francisco.  Seattle loses to the NY Jets and Atlanta beats Buffalo for their second win of the season.  Miami stays winless against Chicago and Kansas City drops one to New England.
