Thursday, @ 9AM ET.-Sim deadlines will be at 9 AM ET from now on. -Sims will still be every 2 days(Thu, Sat, Mon, Wed, etc.). Sims won't necessarily be at 9, but they usually will be. Rule of thumb of course is to have your exports before deadlines or else it's at your own risk. And no, this doesn't mean you have to be awake while I sim. Good luck to all GMs in your attempts to make the playoffs!

My only concern with 10 day sims is the 15 day DL. Maybe go 7-8-15-7-8-15. Thatll be a faster pace, and allow people to more easily maneuver their 15 day DL.

I thought about it, but I think if everyone is playing by the same 20 day DL standards then it's still fair play.
I wanna keep the sim schedule simple, and it's a fine line between dragging the season out and 100% realism. If it's a big problem for people I guess we could change but I like this.

I'm a huge fan of the 7-8-7-8-7-8 sims. 10 days at a time and this league will fly by IMO. Also, it fits perfectly for the 15 day DL and if you got a star on there that you are itchin to get back in the lineup/rotation.
Actually, that's what I had been told this league did for sim length.

That's what we did last year. A good amount of GM's complained about the length of the season.
I like 7-8-7-8 too but I'm pretty impartial. I agree it's convenient for a good amount of reasons. I just want to make the majority of GMs happy.
As you know 7-8-7-8 is about an 8 week year.... 10 day sims is a 6 week year.
Over time instead of having 5-6 seasons in 1 real-life-year, you'd have 7-8 seasons. To me, that's not that big of a deal. Those other 2 seasons are gonna happen regardless.
But really my main concern is that GMs will lose interest if the season is too long, and I just don't think this group wants to wait an entire 2 months for a season to end. Could be wrong but nobody has really spoken up aside from 2 people.

while things may be convenient with those 7,8 sims, i think we should go with 10 day sims... it will be a lot quicker, and i think peoples interest will still be there. You want interest in the league as the biggest priority, so lets make the seasons a little quicker.

Wouldnt 7-8-15 be the same as 10-10-10 and still allow for the optimal 15 day spans for the DL?

At the start of each season cant you just post a sim schedule?

Post by duce on Oct 15, 2007 20:07:01 GMT -5
Yeah.
Anyone else wanna do 7-8-15-7-8-15?

I think it'd suck to have a guy on the DL for 20 days is all. I'm not against the 10-10-10, I just don't get why the 7-8-15 idea is bad. To me its all the pluses with no negatives.

I agree, i mean people should know how many days are simmed each time. The biggest thing to me is having the season move a little faster and 7-8-15 works.

Whatever you want to do is fine with me, I just want the season to move along a little faster than the first year.
