I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

One quarter of the way through the season and still 3 teams left without a loss. One of those is the Chargers who are ownerless no more as we have a new person taking over this block to run them moving forward. Steve Witmer is new to the game, but between Dave Stewart and I we have him up to speed and he is ready to take over playing games for week 5 and beyond. Steve can be found at stevenawit@gmail.com and I have added him to the mailing list so he should be ready to roll. We also have 3 teams left fighting for their first win as Tampa Bay gets on the board with a big win over Philly and Detroit takes down Houston to leave the land of the winless. Let’s get rolling on game contacts for week 5, good luck to all!

 

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.
