Immediate Schedule

[Ben E Lou]

Given that over half the league has fewer than 40 players on the roster, we definitely need to do at least one more stage of FA2, and probably two, so let's plan on....

THURSDAY: FA2:4
FRIDAY: FA2:5
SATURDAY: Training Camp

That gives you three chances to make signings and trades to get legal. Once again, we'll play it a bit by ear. Please do all you can to get legal by the end of the TC stage, so we can PLAN to do Preseason on Sunday. That being said, if we end up with a lot of teams with a lot of signings to go, we can do a midweek then. But we really shouldn't be in that situation. So, if all goes well, we run preseason on Sunday, and start the regular season on Monday.

Will pre season be run with injuries on or off? I'm assuming off.

[Ben E Lou]

Off in preseason.

I haven't seen this elsewhere, but when do you run your stages (i.e. what time during the day)?

[Coffee Warlord]

11:30am CENTRAL! has been the norm.

[Ben E Lou]

12:30pm...delayed today becaues of a new owner...and hten i was in a meeting....we'll be getting back to 12:30pm standard tomorrow. I can't control sims outside of lunchtime like I can during.

[Tasan]

11:30am eastern has been the norm.

Thought it was 12:30pm eastern, 11:30am central?

[Coffee Warlord]

My bad. You're right.

[flere-imsaho]

Cool. I may think about getting on the waiting list then at some point.

[zbuckley]

nothing to see here

[Passacaglia]

Maybe the name of the league threw me off. Are we having weekend sims just this once, or is it a regular thing?

FYI, I'm not submitting a file today.

[Ben E Lou]

A few non-critical stages will run on weekends. (Yes, TC is important, but *exporting* for TC isn't important.) This is what I posted in the initial thread...

<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->This season is running a little differently from this, but with Thanksgiving, I figure we can change things up around then to get us on a schedule where we're only running the two FA stages highlighted above on weekends.

[Passacaglia]

Thanks -- no big deal, I was just curious. I guess Thanksgiving would be an important holiday for the FOWL. I'll mark my calendar for the FOWL Bowl on the 40th of November! :)
