MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Another season is in the books with very few issues and we made it
through with a full owner roster as well which is very much appreciated.
Congrats to those who have made the playoffs, great work and a
few surprises in there, so should make for an interesting postseason. I
will have more playoff information later in the week as well as files
(but we have plenty of time as games are due til after the holidays).
To those who’s season is over, don’t disappear on me as we have a
few things to discuss before you are done, but enjoy the holidays and
check back here for what needs to be done in the offseason.
As always, if anyone does not plan on coming back next year,
please let me know asap so I can look for new owners (after I try and
talk you out of it). Draft
lottery will come closer to the Super Bowl, so hang in there a bit and
we will that bit of offseason work done as well.
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. Playoff files will be out shortly, 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.
