2018 Opening Day Sim #1: Thursday, Aug 13th @ 4:00 PM edt

[nick]

Deadline for changes is 2:00 PM. I'm giving myself an extra hour because the sim will probably take a little longer since it's opening day and I'll have more changes than usual.

I have changes from some teams already. If you have any additional moves to make, feel free to send them in!

If I happen to have everyone's lineup before Thursday, I'll sim sooner.

As I enter lineups and go along, I'll probably upload the site once or twice before opening day.

Thanks guys, and good luck this season!

P.S. I'm going to work on writing up the new comp. qualifications from some of the ideas that were discussed, and run them by everyone as soon as I'm done... would like to have them posted and agreed to before the season actually begins.

k, I may have a trade or two coming depending on what happens. I'm glad I didn't miss much.

All systems should still be go for tomorrow.... I might not sim until later in the evening, but it should happen.

I have most lineups already... once I finish entering them, if I finish them all before it gets too late anyway, I'll upload the site before the sim... otherwise will just upload with the sim.

[nick]

Probably going to sim around 8:00 or 9:00... I will post back when I get closer to running it. Until then, you can feel free to send anything if there is anyone who hasn't sent changes yet. I have some stuff to enter and have to go somewhere later, but I'll get around to simming before too long.

[nick]

Entered every change in my inbox. Going to double check every thing, backup the file... should have it on the site in about an hour, give or take a little...

fairly close on the sim time... only off by a couple hours... maybe a day or so by the time it finally goes off.

Yeah sorry, I simmed earlier and was generating the report but it cut too close and I had to run an errand with my family... just got back a few minutes ago.

I'll upload the site now...

Sorry it's late though. If anyone would like to run this thing from here on out and feels they can to it in a timely matter and keep everything going without major change, PM me and I'll discuss sending you the file and server info. I'm kind of sick of sim league stuff in general lately, and it's again becoming hassle at this point to bother with any of it...

Nonetheless, opening sims always take a long time for me because I'd rather be 100% sure everything is perfect than make a bunch of little mistakes, i.e. leaving rotations on their playoff settings, or little shit like that which is pretty easy to miss. Opening day is the most pivitol sim for some teams too, so I'm very cautious that everything is entered perfectly... I'd rather be hours late and have everything 100% than on time and have a bunch of various mistakes.

Keep up the great work, nick.

Site uploaded. I'll make a sim #2 post in the next day or so... I hope to find a minute to type up the new comp stuff too. It will be done soon, I just have been slacking there.

Also, FYI-- I simmed 16 days on accident opposed to the usual 15-- I miscounted when I started the sim... but since the first month of the yr is kind of scattered with games on the schedule, it shouldn't make much of a difference. Next sim I will run will bring us to May 1st, so it won't run 15 games either... 10 or11 I think. after that I'll keep it on a 15-game per sim schedule...

thanks.

Also, for a few teams who had posted their team pages but didn't PM me anything, I just used your team pages as refference to fill out the lineups/rotation.... there were only 2 or 3 teams that did this, but your teams should have been accounted for.
