MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
With
week 10 complete the trade deadline has come and gone with a flurry of
minor deals as teams round out their playoff rosters. And then there
were none, as in no undefeated teams as both Houston and Tennessee lose
their first of the season, while the Rams still are searching for win
#1. Please, there are 6
weeks left to play and I ask all owners to do your best to be available
for every game. Stuff happens and occasionally a team needs a sub, we
all get that, but just don’t make it a habit because your team isn’t
good enough to compete.
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.
