I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

Thanks to all for getting games in early and for all of the updated coaches, appreciate that from all. Some interesting results and early returns show we may have some new contenders joining those who are regularly at the top of the standings. Too early to draw too many conclusions but we might have a very close grouping this year with only a few teams really pulling away as the season moves along.

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.  .  If you need a sub, feel free to find your own sub or contact me asap so we 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 Week 2, so make sure you go download them and start making contact for week 2 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.

***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 05/24/24 *** 

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.
