MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Well,
let’s get the obvious out of the way as Denver and NY Giants both win
yet again and who knows if that will ever end. So on to the more
important stuff, the trade deadline is just 2 weeks away with little
time left to make deals, so it’s time to make that call and either go
for it or make some moves. Remember, I need confirmation of any deals
from both teams and prefer you don’t wait til right up against the
deadline on Monday night as it will likely annoy me to have to redo the
files :O) Once we get past the trading, then we’ll start to seriously
talk about the playoff races with a lot of teams still hanging around in
the AFC with only 1 team really out of it at this point. The NFC is a
bit more spread out with 9 teams fighting it out for 7 playoff spots and
5 teams looking like they all might be sellers. Good luck in this weeks
game and with any moves you make and let’s keep up the contacts, this
was a great week and I hope we can continue this through the rest of the
season.
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 9, so make sure you go download them
and start making contact for week 9 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.
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.
