MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Just
a couple of weeks to go, hope everyone enjoyed the holiday and thanks to
all for getting the games in on time so I could sit down and enjoy the
game tonight. Please, even
if you are out of the playoffs, make sure you are setting up games and
getting them done in a timely manner these last couple of weeks so we
finish the playoff race smoothly and get things ready for the end of the
season. Everything is ready
for week 16, good luck to all and enjoy these last couple of games of
the regular season.
With
2 weeks left in the regular season things are shaping up pretty well
with very little suspense left in the playoff races.
In the AFC, Houston and Tennessee continue to battle for the #1
overall position and home field should they face each other.
Pittsburgh is pretty well locked into the #3 position as they
have clinched the Central division.
Denver sits in the 4th slot and has clinched the
playoffs as well at this point.
New England and LA Chargers sit in the final two playoff slots
with Indy a game back and Buffalo hanging on by the skin of their teeth
and a game with New England this week. In the NFC KC and NO are both
fighting for the top spot and home field if needed later on.
NY Giants and Jacksonville are tied in the East and Seattle is
just a game back and a game with Jacksonville coming up this week though
the Giants appear to have the inside track with their final two games
with Miami and Atlanta.
Carolina sits in the #4 slot right now and could lock that up if they
can’t catch New Orleans for the West. Green Bay and Tampa Bay both are
mathematically alive but would need two Seattle losses and two wins just
to take it to tiebreakers.
AFC –
Clinched Playoffs – Houston, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Denver
NFC –
Clinched Playoffs – KC, New Orleans, NY Giants, Jacksonville, Carolina
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.
