2028 Schedule
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2018 2:47 am
The first thing to note: The previous schedule had an 'in-between sim', between the end of Spring Training and the start of the Regular season, which would have been next Monday, the 14th. The Opening week of games would then begin the following Thursday, the 17th. Upon researching this (and some highly detailed experimentation that would blow your mind), that in-between day, aimed at avoiding minor leaguers gaining service time, is unnecessary and as such, this Friday's sim will run to 4/3 ('the morning of' Opening Day). Monday, the 14th's sim will be the first games of the 2028 season. PLEASE be sure to import over this weekend and set your 26-man rosters - and your AAA & AA rosters (as those leagues start Monday as well). I'll be willing to manage some missed things - I REALLY don't want to be forced to be the bad AI guy...
The Draft Pool will be announced with Wednesday's Sim and the Draft will be following the Thursday, February 14th sim. The Draft, held in the PEBA Chat Room, with the use of StatsLab, will be held over that weekend, February 16 & 17 (yeah, I know it's President's Day... we'll chat if need be...). Times to be announced as we approach the Draft. Plan on 1pm ET (10am PT) both days. Attending the Draft is one of the mandatory GM responsibilities, and if you can not attend, please plan on posting a list in StatsLab. Dylan has been working behind the scenes on cleaning things up and making sure we are in a great space there. Thanks Dylan!! There are rumors the StatsLab Scouting Group has retired... What a shame... We/I will discuss at a later date strategies for getting a list up in StatsLab - particularly for the new GMs, but it'll no doubt help most of us!!
If all goes well, we are scheduled to begin the Post-Season by the end of April and the beginning of the 'post-post-season' by the latter portion of May. More on that when the time comes.
This PEBA 'Train Arollin''... (gotta use it now - it ain't getting much play this season... )
Please, scan the schedule and let me know if there are problems, mistakes, unseen easter eggs...
