League Deadlines

Regular Season Deadlines

  1. The regular season begins on January 1st, at which time everyone is expected to have the latest version of the game.
  2. The regular season is 82 games and is patterned exactly after the NBA schedule.  The season is broken into monthly intervals.  The schedule for the monthly intervals is as follows:
    1st of month League file is issued for the new month.
    6th of month Game Plans (aka Coach Files) are due. As soon as game files are submitted, opponents can begin using them for their games.  Teams will be notified of which games they can autoplay against teams that do not have owners.
    22nd of month Game Results are due for ROAD games.  New League file is issued.  Begin accepting waiver pickups for the next month.
    27th of month Game Results are due for any HOME games that an opponent has not played.
    27th of month Autoplay any unplayed games, process game files, and make roster changes for any burnouts or trades.  Also deadline for submittal of waiver pickups.
    1st of next month Process any free agent claims/releases and issue League File.
    * All deadlines are at 10pm EST
  3. Each interval is one month and consists of all the games on the schedule played for that month.  Intervals around Christmas and the New Year will be slightly modified for the holidays.
  4. Each owner is required to submit game plans for his team's home games for that month.  Any home games for which an owner does not submit a game plan are subject to be played by his opponent or autoplayed by the commissioner.
  5. Each owner is required to play at least his team's road games and then send in the statistics files for those series before the end of the current monthly interval.
  6. Additionally, owners may have to play all games (home and road) against teams that have no active owners.  Lineups are set by the computer for vacant teams.   Additionally, home games for which an owner has submitted a game plan but the opponent has not played it by the monthly deadline may be played by the owner.
  7. Any games NOT played by the monthly deadline are autoplayed by the commissioner.
