Simming Starts Tonight

[Northstars]

Everyone's set their lines or at least game roster already except Sean who I auto-set.. as Jon says in the TJHL Sean is apparently going through rough times at the moment so he will not be penalized for any missing lines or anything.

So, we've changed over to pre-season, the skills are officially hidden and sims start tonight. However, I don't think there's a time that I can say I'll be available every sim day, all the time. So, here's what I expect the sim schedule to be.

Monday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - Live Games
Tuesday - 10:00 PM central (11 eastern / 8 pacific) - Live Games
Wednesday - 10:00 PM central (11 eastern / 8 pacific) - Live Games
Thursday - no sim
Friday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - No Live Games[/color]
Saturday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - No Live Games[/color]
Sunday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - Live Games

On live game days, please ensure your lines/roster are done no later than one hour prior to game time, as the games may be simmed up to one hour early (the time listed will be the expected start time, although it could be 15 minutes or so later)

Come playoff time, all games will be live, but stats may not be updated immediately following Friday/Saturday live games).

This is subject to change but I'll notify everyone here if it does change.

Pre-Season is 4 games and 6 game days long, so it will be finished next Tuesday -- regular season will start next Friday.

gotta love late opening night sims, right? sorry about that. got a bowling league that is supposed to be 7 - 9:30, but for some reason today went until after 10. simmed now, but non live.

I need some more info in terms of "live game"... does that mean if I log on I'll be able to watch the play by play of the game? Do I make line up changes? or just watch?

Let the games begin!

[Northstars]

you can log in to UHS and watch the play-by-play, yeah. you can't make lineup changes or anything, just watch. depending who's on MSN at the time we may have a chat going on there.. as far as I know only melvin, david, you and I have it though

[gregk72]

Can't join tonight for the play by play. 5:30am comes pretty early in the Eastern Standard zone. But 7pm on Friday sounds very reasonable. GO HYPE!

[Northstars]

I can do the live games for the 7pm sims sometimes, but there will be times when I can't do them live because I wouldn't be able to update stats until the next day.. which means some suspensions and stuff may not be done on time, and then i wouldn't be giving anyone enough time to fix lineups.

[Northstars]

OK, I don't really like the late sims when I can avoid them, so here's a revised sim schedule - effective tomorrow as I already missed 6 PM central today lol

Monday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - Live Games
Tuesday - 10:00 PM central (11 eastern / 8 pacific) - Live Games
Wednesday - 10:00 PM central (11 eastern / 8 pacific) - Live Games
Thursday - no sim
Friday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - Live Games**
Saturday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - Live Games**
Sunday - 6:00 PM central (7 eastern / 4 pacific) - Live Games

** - there will be times when these can not be live due to not being around to update stats when the game finishes. I want to give everyone time to fix their lineup if necessary and to do that the stats should be updated as early as possible. So likely at least one of these two every week will not be live.

ALSO, I do go camping occasionally, especially on long weekends, so there will likely be a few cancelled weekend sims now and then. I'll post here prior to those.

Regular season starts Friday. Make sure you send guys to the minors now that waivers is open, or your farm team will be filled with makeweights at the time of the first sim.

[gregk72]

Let the games begin. Thanks guys for letting me join. Looking forward to a great season. I absolutely love the detail of the stats...
