MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Two
weeks left and still a lot of jockeying for position in the playoffs
left to go. In the AFC New England has locked down the Central and a win
or Denver loss will clinch the #1 overall seed for them. Denver can
clinch the East with a win or Houston loss, but could end up needing the
head to head win over Houston in week 17.
LA Chargers lead the West by a game over San Francisco and can
clinch the division with a win and Niners loss or we can go down to week
17 to decide that winner there. Pittsburgh and Indianapolis have
clinched playoff spots and fight for seeding this week with the Steelers
a half game ahead. Houston and San Francisco sit in the last two playoff
spots with Minnesota two games back and needing a lot of help even if
they win out. Everyone else is making their golf reservations with
Cleveland fighting for the top lottery position.
In
the NFC New Orleans and Arizona are tied at the top of the West and the
conference with Arizona having the easier schedule as the Saints get the
Panthers this week who also have a shot at the West title still.
Jacksonville has locked up the East and at worst the #2 seed, but they
still have a shot a the top spot with some help and a couple of wins.
Kansas City has a 1 game lead in the Central over the Packers and
hold the tiebreaker right now with a better division record. Seattle and
Green Bay are tied for the final two playoff spots and the LA Rams are
the only team with a realistic shot at the playoffs though Detroit is
mathematically alive still but needs to beat Jacksonville and hope for
some losses.
I
need each of you to keep an eye on your rosters and let me know if
anyone who has an in game injury comes up inactive.
I checked all of the rosters, but any help I can get to avoid
this problem would be helpful and there is a game update available on
our website that everyone should get (see below). If you need a sub,
please contact Jeff Shelton asap so he can try and get your hooked up
with someone to get your game in.
Make sure you have the latest action update which is available on
the website. Game files are
up for week 6, so make sure you go download them and start making
contact for week 6 games. If you have any questions, now is the time, so
please ask before we get too far into things.
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.
