MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Guys,
I know some of you have teams that are just playing out the season, but
often these games affect other teams, so I still need you to please play
your games hth and do better contacting each other. I see many contacts
that go unanswered each week and that isn’t fair to the teams who are
trying to set up their games and play them properly. If you aren’t able
to play your game, please, try and find someone to play your game for
you or at least contact your opponent so they know to look for a sub. We
have the bye week coming up soon, so let’s get this weeks games done and
then you get 2 weeks to get the next block of games done.
Playoff races continue to take shape with a team in each conference
already clinching a spot in the postseason.
In the NFC NY Giants have a two game lead in the East and
overall, followed by St. Louis and Carolina both leading their divisions
at 9-3. Jacksonville holds
the first wild card slot, followed by Philly and New Orleans with only
Green Bay at 6-6 with a real chance at the playoffs. In the AFC New
England can clinch the conference with a win and losses from Dallas and
NY Jets who both lead their divisions. Houston and Tennessee both sit in
the 4th and 5th slots and then you have Denver
with the tiebreaker over Pittsburgh for the final playoff place.
Three other teams have an outside chance, but need a lot of
losing to happen if they want to get in.
Miami and Minnesota continue the hunt for the first win of the
season and trying to avoid the goose egg.
Game
files are located on the website for week 13.
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.
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.
