1st Quarter Deadlines

The deadline for the first block of games is November 15. Here is our rule if you have not played your games by the deadline:

"After the first deadline of a regular season game has past either player may play that game against another opponent. Players with an interest in winning that game are preferred. If the second deadline passes and the game has not been played and an extension is not obtained by the league, then both teams are disqualified from post-season play. Also those teams’ draft picks for the next draft drop to the end of each round. Draft picks traded away before the disqualification are move to the end of that round’s lottery picks."

Therefore, if you are ready to play - but have not - due to the inability to schedule with your opponent, you should:

1. Schedule the game with your opponent. If the scheduled game is past the first deadline, request an extension of time to play the game. The League generally prefers games to be played by Owners so reasonable extension requests are generally granted.
2. Schedule the game with another league member (preferable someone with an interest in seeing your team lose). If you cannot schedule with the Owner, then schedule with another league member. This game MUST be after the deadline, so you should also request an extension to play your game.

A discussion was held a few weeks back with a number of league owners about what we could do to help create a process to incentivize teams to complete all 16 games and complete them on time.

1) How will we encourage every team to complete their 16 game season

a) If you coach all 16 games for your team--Your team will have 8 tickets entered into the next defensive and player drafts for the maximum chance of improving your possible draft choice
b) If you coach 15 games--7 tickets will be entered into the draft for that team instead of 8, thus reducing your chance of getting the best possible pick
c) If you coach 14 games--6 tickets will be entered into the draft for that team instead of 8.
d) If you coach 13 games--5 tickets will be entered into the draft for that team instead of 8.
e) If you coach less than 13 games, your team will fall to the bottom of each round of the draft

2) How will we encourage every team to complete their games within the deadlines agreed to by the league?

The league schedule will be broken up into 4 sets of 4 games.

a) If you miss one of the 4 deadlines by one week past the 2nd due date, you will lose your next available 4th round draft choice and 7 tickets will be entered into the draft for that team instead of 8, thus reducing your chance of getting the best possible pick.
b) If you miss two deadlines, you will lose your next available 3rd draft choice instead of your 4th draft choice and 6 tickets will be entered into the draft for that team instead of 8.
c) If you miss three deadlines, you will lose your next available 2nd draft choice instead of your 3rd draft choice and 4 tickets will be entered into the draft for that team instead of 8.
d) If you miss all four deadlines, you will lose your next available 1st draft choice instead of your 2nd draft choice and you will fall to the bottom of each round of the draft.

If you’ve made the appropriate effort, you will not be penalized. At this point I’d start looking for an opponent to play the Lions. They and the Eagles are far behind everybody else and unless he has games scheduled all this week, they’ll miss the deadline.

I read it that way too.
However, it is still after the first deadline ( November 15th ) that a player may find another opponent to play against if the other owner is unavailable.

Reminder-Block 1 second deadline is Sunday 11/22/20. I believe the only block one game remaining is Bills versus Lions. Mike and Chris please make sure this game is played and results posted by Sunday evening so no draft penalties are incurred.
