MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Block 1 in the books, a couple of small
hiccups, but pretty easy so far, let’s keep that up as we continue to
move forward. A couple of trades and free agent signings already, 6
more blocks to make trades, so feel free to send them when you have
them. Reminder that when you sign a player to a FA contract during the
season it is for just the current season and you can re-sign him after
the season as his new contract per the formula. Also, multiple teams
can put in offers for a player, the high contract will get that
player, so take this into account when sending me stuff and if you
REALLY need a player, maybe send me a conditional extra guy or two to
cover things just in case your get outbid by someone else. Another
long block with Christmas and New Years coming up this block, so we
will move things through til 2025 starts and 3 weeks total to get your
games done. Good luck and have a Happy Holidays!
The regular
season is ready to begin and the updated league file and Excel file is
on the website. 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 10/16/2024.
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.
