MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
A
little bit of a struggle on game contacts this week, please stay on top
of these and make sure you are keeping me in the loop so I can help
facilitate things if necessary. At this point, we have one team who sits
at 5-0, the NY Giants, and two others without a loss as Arizona has a
tie and the LA Chargers now have their second tie of the season.
Overall everyone is still in the mix as no one is running away
with a division and only a few teams are truly struggling to stay in
touch with the playoffs.
Buffalo is the final team searching for a win and their offensive
struggles are keeping them from getting that win.
Overall the season still continues to move smoothly and good luck
to everyone in week 6!
Please make sure to get started on game contacts asap and don’t forget
to CC me on all of them so I can make sure games are getting set up
smoothly. Let’s see if we
can hit the first week deadline with all games played head to head and
as always if you need help let us know.
If you need a sub, please contact Jeff Shelton asap so he can try
and get you 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 the start of the regular season, so make sure you go download
them and start making contact for week 1 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.
