MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Block 4 is in the books and the playoff races are starting to take shape. Thank you to everyone for getting the games in on time so I can enjoy the football game :O) Just 6 weeks until the trade deadline, so we will likely start to see some more moves being made as teams figure out whether they are contenders or rebuilders.  If anyone needs any help, please let me know as soon as you can and let’s do our best to keep the league running smoothly as we move into the meat of the schedule!

We now have five teams open in Colorado, San Jose, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Washington, if anyone knows of an owner who is looking for a league, send them my way so we can hopefully get these teams filled quickly and keep me from having to sim multiple games each block :O) Thank you to the owners who are doing double duty and running a second team, it is a huge help to me.

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.     

Block 5 is ready 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.  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.

**** IMPORTANT  - Action PC Game File Update dated 01/09/2019.  Please make sure you update with this file before playing any block 4 games.

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.
