MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Final
week of the season and just one spot left to work out in the NFC between
Green Bay and LA Rams. The rest is just positioning as New England has
clinched the bye in the AFC and everyone else is jockeying for their
spots and who plays who. I
need everyone to please do your best to get games scheduled and played
hth this week as many of the games have meaning in the final playoff
seedings.
In
the AFC New England has earned the bye in round 1 and look for the
undefeated season. Denver
has locked up the #2 seed by virtue of their week 8 win over the LA
Chargers who currently sit in the #3 slot. Indianapolis is the first
wildcard team with a half game lead over Pittsburgh, Houston and San
Francisco who are all tied at 11-4 but are in the playoffs and it is
just a matter of who they will play in round 1.
In
the NFC New Orleans holds the division record tiebreaker over Arizona
for the West and for the conference lead.
Jacksonville is the #2 seed and Kansas City is the #3 seed, both
with home games. Arizona is
#4 and would host Carolina at #5. Seattle sits in the six seed and Green
Bay leads the LA Rams for the #7 seed but they play hth and the winner
will get that spot.
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.
