MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

And we are down to the final 10 games of the season and while a lot of the playoff slots are set, seeding is very up in the air and some teams are still alive to make it in to the second season.  In the Prince of Wales, Philadelphia has already wrapped up the Horton division with a 26 point lead and now they try and catch the Isles and Devils at the top of the conference.  Buffalo, Anaheim and Washington are all tied for second in the division and seeded in that order due to ROW, so the Caps sit as the #2 wildcard holding a 6 point lead over the NY Rangers and 14 points over St. Louis.  NY Islanders lead the Howe by 3 points over the Devils and both are well clear of third place Detroit who holds a 5 point lead over Carolina who hold the #1 wildcard by 7 points over Washington.  NY Rangers sit 15 points back of the Canes, so their best chance is catching someone from the Horton for the #2 wildcard while Phoenix and Chicago are all but mathematically eliminated and fighting for the #1 seed in the lottery.

In the Campbell Conference Toronto leads San Jose by 2 points for both the Orr division and the conference with no one from the other division near enough to challenge.  Dallas and Montreal are tied for third in the division with Dallas one ROW win ahead and Montreal solidly in the first wild card slot with a 15 point lead over the next closest teams.  Pittsburgh leads the Lemieux by 11 points over Calgary and Colorado is 2 points further back in third place. The Avs lead Edmonton and Vancouver by 4 points with the Oilers just barely in the final wild card position.  Boston is only a point back, so there are a lot of positions in the Lemieux still alive as well as the final wild card slot.  Florida and Los Angeles are the only two teams officially out of the playoffs with the Kings 7 points up for last place in the league.

Two more players overused but I am going to chalk that up to strat confusion this block.  That said, EVERYONE has a chance to check their usage before block 10 begins.  All you need to do is go into your strat and check how many games the players you are going to use have left, there really is no reason for anyone to get overused this block. We do need to send out strats, so please get those out on time and double check your usage before you do so. Good luck to all and I will try and put out standings updates as soon as I get enough games that matter!

Block 10 is ready and the updated league file is on the website.  Remember to plan for your correct injury games each block and you need to upload a strat for the 5 home games by Wednesday night (remember they all upload automatically each time you save them or assign strats to games).  Also, I would ask you PLEASE include your 5 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.

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all 5 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.
