Once we have confirmations from the Bureaucrats and Alleghenies - both who have exported, but I need a formal confirmation here, I will run the 1-day sim to October 4 so playoff rosters can be set. If I am not mistaken, at this point, only WC teams need to officially set their playoff rosters, but all playoff teams might want to at least set something - but be sure to export as well.

A friendly reminder to all teams not in the running to make an export if you want to make some extension offers to get ankunp start on avoiding arbitration.

Just to update - despite all teams having exported, we are waiting on one team to finish cleaning up their roster. As soon as they do this, I will post the updated file as quickly as I can.
I'll update further once we get that taken care of.

Sorry for the delay there, but we have all the playoff teams in and the 1-day sim has been run, and we are now at Day 1 of the Wild Card round, October 4. What confuses me is that we are not seeing an option for Playoff Rosters... IDK... But, we are ready for playoff baseball, so we are all ready to go!!
So when I have exports and confirmations from Neo-Tokyo, Bakersfield, Scottish and Arlington, I will run Wild Card games 1 & 2. I will set Friday, 5 pm PT as the deadline - at which time I will run the sim. If I have exports and confirmations at some point tomorrow, I will run the sim tomorrow. Basically we will go at your speed, but we will have M-W-F hard deadlines, so we don't bog down. I hope that's OK with everyone! If there is a problem, please reach out and give me notice - we will do what we can to accommodate peoples needs.
Please post here when your export is final. Thanks!

Our next sim will be TBD - if all four WC GMs get their exports in over the weekend, I will do it the day in which the 4th one is loaded - be sure to note that you are set in the forum thread. The hard deadline is Monday, 4/22/19 at 5 pm PT. We will move as fast as the participating GMs move.
Non-playoff teams have requested in the past that the offseason move at a brisker pace, and this scheduling is meant to meet that request as best as possible.
A couple of important notes that I will reiterate in the forum Playoff thread:
1. Because Playoff Rosters did not become available this season (it appears the previous regime turned them off), playoff teams may have to use the waiver wire to manipulate their rosters. ANY PLAYER on waivers from a playoff team is off limits - DO NOT CLAIM them.
2. Because we are trying to move at a quicker pace, (everyone) be very sure to import the new files as they become available, AND export as soon as you make changes that you want. This is very, very important for those extensions you may be offering any of your players. Changes to an old League file will not get incorporated in game. Because we hope to move a a quicker pace, the offshoot is a need for non-playoff teams to be attentive.
I will remind you at this point, only the current playoff teams are required to export, but #2 above is very, very important to the non-playoff teams as you begin planning for 2029.
