JANUARY 20 CAN NOT COME SOON ENOUGH!!!

Andrew, will the teams that seem to be affected by the odd cash shortage bug be able to resign guys, or will we still be told we can't resign them even if we have the money?

I just sent our leaguefile to Markus this morning so he can take a look. Hopefully he can provide an explanation of whats happening, because I certainly can't figure it out.

I think in some cases the team just doesn't have the money but in other cases it's a legitimate bug.

I like it. Keep rolling.

[liquidcrash]

Sounds good to me. I'll have to miss a couple sims next week but I like the schedule.

When are Stadium Mods due?

[Andrew]

Stadium mods are due by January 1st (in game).

Please note, I changed the date of the Rule 5 draft so it will happen on Sunday 12/30.

Finally got around to looking at this....figures I'm going on vacation from Jan. 19-26 and probably won't have internet access.

So what's up with the WBC? Obviously its not starting tonight, but is there a rescheduling idea/ I know not everyone done rosters.

Basically we'll just push everything back by 1 sim for the WBC. I should have a league file up by noon tomorrow with the first exports due on Thursday. If I haven't received a roster for South America by tomorrow morning, I'll take over management of that team.
