MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Start of
season #19 and it is a big change as we move from Faceoff to Action
PC. I hope everyone has
some patience and is willing to work to get things rolling.
Luckily I have had some experience with the start of another
league, so hopefully this will work smoothly as we know what to expect
and try and avoid. Please,
be sure you read the emails I sent out with the Word Docs that help
explain how to use the coach files. For this season, Injuries will be
done as coaches decisions (we may go back to the old way next year if
everyone picks up the game quickly, but will address that later).
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. If
you have questions, please let me know and we will make sure we get
all 24 teams up and running. The first block will be 3 weeks due to
Thanksgiving and also to allow for a bit of extra time for game
issues. If we run into
bigger problems we will consider moving things back if needed, but I
think we should be able to get things rolling, so get to work on your
coaches and good luck to all!
Block 1 is
ready and the updated league 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.
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 start 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.
You
need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all 4 home
games by the
third 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.
