1. TURN AROUND TIME

This was supposed to be item #1 as it was the most obvious problem with our league. WE DO NOT WANT ANOTHER 3-MONTH DELAY...

This season we will allow approx. 2 weeks from the time Denton forwards updated League files in which to play your games. Denton will have the final say on dates as he puts in the work to create the files.

You MUST play your series within that 2-week period. If you have a team in both leagues, you will need to play TWO series - one in each league.

Get to know how to utilize the Computer Manager. If you are unavailable during this period, you MUST forward you CM file so that your opponent may play out the series.

I would like us to VOTE YES on this by acclamation and discuss what penalties should ensue for delays... NOT because I like penalties (I hate them) but a rule without a consequence is entirely unenforceable.

  1. I also want us to find some better directions, video, book or expert that can walk us throught how to better use the CM

  2. To my knowledge, the HELP menu and directions that come with the software are all any of us have. I suggest we all play practice sessions to learn the nuances.

  3. Yes, a two week deadline is fine. Not sure how you make a penalty on it though. What if the managers are just off schedules? One can play Tue Thu and Sun and the other guy is available Mon Wed Fri and Sat?

    I guess we should put the requirement on the visiting manager to contact and arrange a time or his series will be played by the home manager with the Visiting CM file, unless they can agree on another arrangement (ie, Home manager is out of town so Visitor plays Home's CM and sends out results).
