MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Halfway point of the season is here and the playoff races are starting to shape up. A couple of trades this block again as the new owner in LA starts to reshape the team ins his image. Each division has a clear leader right now, but there are only truly 3 teams who look to be out of the playoff races at this point. Thanks for getting games in on time, makes my job easier and hopefully this is how the rest of the season will continue. Just a reminder again that coaches are due Wednesday, if they are late, after Friday teams can use whatever is in the game. Also, please remember that when you finish your games, you need to send exports and boxscores (not .hal or .flm) files to the list with a short write up at the least (the longer the better) and make sure they are in on time each block. With the trade deadline just 4 weeks away good luck to everyone as you decide if you are a contender or pretender.

Block 6 files are up and ready to go.  Remember that all injuries this year are coaches decisions BUT all players are limited to the exact number of NHL games from last year, so plan accordingly.  If you are sending the same lineup for all 8 games then just a regular coach should work. If you want to set specific lineups for each game, then you need to use the Daily Lineups as it gives you a lot more flexibility. As soon as you have your coach set for your first 4 road games, please send that out to the list (and list who the coach is for so it is easier for teams to keep the ones they need).  Also, I would ask you PLEASE include your 4 home strats as well both for your sake and mine as if I have to sim your home games for any reason I will just let the game set up your strat if none is defined and you will have to deal with any penalties later on.  I am going to continue using the strat file page and upload everyones coaches to the website like I did in the past so they are easy to find when needed.

**** IMPORTANT  - Action PC Game File Update dated 11/14/2023.

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all 4 home games
by the second Sunday of the block at 9 pm This is MANDATORY, both the exports
AND boxscores please.   Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one quick
comment for all 4 games, just adds to the league and makes it easier for
everyone to see what is going on.  If I do not receive game exports after
sending updates on Saturday and Sunday, I will send one more request directly
about an hour before the deadline on Sunday.  Unless I get a request for an
extension of time, I will wait til the deadline and about 30 minutes later I
will sim games so I can get new files out before I go to bed Sunday night.
