Am I correct in assuming the next sim will take us up to July 31st?
Meaning, the trade deadline is Thursday morning?

I think the deadline might actually be tomorrow.

We have 8 days left in July.
Do we know for sure if tomorrow is Deadline Day?
If it is, I think people are going to be surprised when they wake up tomorrow morning and the deadline has already passed.

I know, they should have been paying more attention! Crazy people...

The sim is supposed to be 8 days.
I'd need at least 20 GMs to approve a 7 day sim and 0 GMs to be against it, in order to change that.

Nah, 8 days is cool with me.
I just need to make sure I am clear that tomorrow at 9:00 AM EST is THE DEADLINE.
Hope everyone is reading this thread!

I'm pretty sure that when I complete the sim it's going to be August 1 and trading will be over. Not 100% sure though.
Well, that is if nobody wants to extend this thing.
I'm going to sim to July 30 and do these trades and then sim July 31, if this it stays this way.

I think we need to keep track of this better in future years. Essentially the last sim of July should always be the trade deadline.

Well this is the last sim of July, and the trade deadline. I agree it needs to be monitored better but I don't see what's so bad about this?

Nothing wrong with it, it just gives us all time to realize that the deadline is coming up and make trades before it passes. I don't think anyone would argue with simming 1 day short to give us 2 more days to trade players....especially as active as this league has been with trades.

Post by duce on Nov 13, 2007 8:47:50 GMT -5
actually nah. i'm simming 8, there's just no point. cuz, i do the trades after the sim so it'd be nothing.
but yeah, next time i'll set it up better.

I think what Matt is saying is, just sim up to July 31st today, then on Thursday, sim THROUGH the 31st and on into August. Meaning, the Trade Deadline becomes Thursday morning, and now everyone is fully aware. HOWEVER, I do see your point of everyone should be aware anyway. The deadline is the same as in real life, and it had been laid out clearly in the rules before the season began. Me personally, I am cool with either way.

Ya but if I do that then I can't sim any games Thursday. I dunno, it's getting too complicated as it is. I'd love nothing more than to help make more time for trades but it has to be within reason. Maybe somebody can convince me while I'm doing extensions.

What he is saying is he puts the trades in after he sims. If he sims he can't put trades in unless it is before he sims. In this case lineups would be all jacked up.

Maybe for future thought....sim up to the 31st. Give us 24 hours to finish up trades. Then at some point in time process the trades and then it's our responsibility to set our lineups before the next sim.
In essense Duce will have 3 straight days of sims:
1. Normal sim up until the 31st. 2. Process trades, put up new file. 3. Back to normal schedule...if we don't get the file an export with the trades processed it's our fault.
Sound like a possibility?

All he has to do is process trades...maybe sim the 31st (not sure how exactly the schedule works). But trades is all he has to do.

I support anything the league wants to do.
I just want to have a clear understanding of what we are doing.
