I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Not a lot of suspense left after week 16 is in the books as all 6 playoff
teams in each conference are set at this point.
There is still some seeding to be decided in week 17 as well as
draft positioning for the non-playoff teams and then we will take a
break for the holidays and come back for the playoffs in January.
Good luck to everyone in the final week of the regular season and
to those who are done playing games, don’t disappear just yet as we will
have some early offseason things to finish up before you go.
Files are updated on the website and ready to go for week 17.
With one week left in the season, all 6 playoff spots are clinched in
each conference but there are only 3 actual playoff positions that are
set right now as Pittsburgh will be the #3 seed in the AFC, NY Giants
will be the #3 seed in the NFC and Seattle is the #6 seed in the NFC
playoffs. In the AFC
Tennessee and Houston have clinched byes and are still in a fight for
the top spot. If one team wins and one team loses, that will decide who
is #1 and #2. If both teams win or lose, then Tennessee has the
tiebreaker with the better conference record.
Denver, New England and LA Chargers all sit at 10-5, so it will
come down to this final game and then likely a bunch of tiebreakers.
Denver has the easiest game with the NY Jets, while LA Chargers
get Carolina and New England gets Indianapolis, so games each will have
to work to get a win.
In the NFC KC and NO play head to head and will decide the conference
title and #1 seed on the field.
NY Giants have clinched the #3 seed with a tiebreaker over
Jacksonville and Seattle is the #6 seed no matter what happens.
Carolina visits the LA Chargers and Jacksonville is in Buffalo,
if one team wins and one loses, then the winner is the #4 seed. If they
end up tied, then Carolina will be the #4 seed as they beat Jacksonville
head to head in week 9.
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.
