I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

The final week had a lot of drama and we ended up going pretty deep into the tiebreakers to figure out the final playoff positions.  Thanks to all for a good regular season, we have some stuff to work on but want to thank all of the new owners for fitting in well and the old owners for welcoming them and making it another fun season.  Playoffs will be coming soon, look for new files after Christmas once I get a few minutes to set things up.  If you aren’t in the playoffs, don’t disappear just yet as we have a few things to finish up before the season is finally over in early February.  Everyone have a Happy Holidays and we will see you all with more information next weekend.

 

In the AFC the LA Chargers are the #1 seed and will have home field throughout the AFC playoffs. New England holds the #2 seed based on the hth tiebreaker and a week 3 win over Houston who won the East and will be the #3 seed and host a wild card round playoff game.  Denver is locked into the #4 seed and will host the best of the teams who sit tied at 8-8.  We ended up with 5 teams tied at 8-8 for the #5 and #6 seed and after tiebreakers within the division Indy had a better division record than Pittsburgh and San Francisco beat Tennessee twice to win the hth tiebreaker in their division while Buffalo has no one tied in their division.  Indianapolis beat San Francisco and Buffalo head to head and they are the #5 seed and will head to Denver in round 1.  So that leaves us with Buffalo, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Tennessee and again Tennessee gets eliminated due to their losses to the Niners.  No one swept the other two teams, so we move to the conference records tiebreaker and San Francisco at 6-6 have the best (Buffalo (6-8) and Pittsburgh (4-8) and the Niners squeak in as the #6 seed and will head to Houston in round 1.

 

In the NFC New Orleans has home field throughout as the top seed and NY Giants hold the #2 seed and join the Saints on a bye in the first round of the playoffs.  LA Rams and Green Bay ended up tied in the Central and they split the season series but the Rams ended up 4-2 in the division, one better than the Packers and the Rams get the #3 seed and host a first round game.  Jacksonville wins in week 17 and locks up the 4th seed and a home game with Carolina who is the #5 seed.  Philadelphia is the final team in and will travel to LA Rams for their first round matchup.

 

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 10/18/19 *** 

 

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.

II. News from Around the League 

 

Guys, this section will get back to normal as soon as I have more time on my plate to get things done, for now I will focus on getting game files out and the website updated as best I can. Thanks for your patience.
