MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Two
weeks left to go and a lot yet to be decided at this point. In the AFC,
Chicago, NY Jets and LA Chargers have all clinched their division and
battle now for the top seed and the bye in round 1.
Pittsburgh and Indianapolis lead the wild card race, but face
each other this week and one team is likely to take what could be a
damaging loss. Denver sits
at #6, a game and a half up on 8th place, while Tennessee is
1 game up in 7th with both San Francisco and Buffalo still
lurking and LA Rams and Minnesota on life support at best.
The NFC have 5 teams clinched in the playoffs (Houston, New
Orleans, New England, Arizona and Kansas City) and then 3 teams in the
East fighting for the final two spots with surprising Detroit having
come all the way back from the bottom of the division to take the lead
and Jacksonville sitting in the #7 spot with Seattle a game behind
looking for to try and move up.
It is critical that everyone do their best to play head to head
these final two weeks as we decide who is in and out and also
positioning for who may get the bye.
If you need a sub, please ask sooner than later.
Good luck to all as this week may decide a lot or may just make
it all a bigger mess.
Please, do your best to be on time when you set you games and and don’t
forget you should be CCing me each time. Also, you should be sending out
a boxscore (which you have to save after the game) and a .xbx file for
each game and a small write up would be nice as well for each game.
Don’t forget that if you need a
sub for a game you should be emailing Jeff Shelton directly to set that
up rather than going through the email list to avoid confusion on who is
subbing. Week 14 files are ready to go on the website, please get them
and get going on game contacts as soon as possible and make sure you are
CCing me on those so I know what is going on.
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.
