I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

Week 1 in the books and some interesting results as some teams took  advantage of their matchups and made the most while at the top there were some really good matchups that went down to the wire. Speaking of going down to the wire, I need to remind everyone that games are due by 9 pm eastern. That means they should be starting no later than 8 and probably 7:30 as most don’t play games as fast as some. The later you get done, the harder it is for me to get files out that night and I hate having to push things to the next day. Please, make sure you read  the paragraphs below this one game contacts and game reporting as I didn’t hear from many this week on game setups and some of those not until it was very late in the week. If I have game contacts as they happen, I know what is going on and it makes it easier for me to try and help you guys get games set up and done on time. Also, please make sure you are sending both the .xbx file for me to import AND a game boxscore which you do manually have to save and send with the email. If anyone has any questions, please let me know asap and let’s get going on week 2 since Monday is a holiday which may make things tougher for some to get games done late in the week.

 

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, 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 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.

***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 07/22/25 *** 

 

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.
