2032 Playoffs

[Board of the PEBA]

So here we are - the 2032 playoffs!!! Congrats to all the teams who have qualified for this year's race for the Rodriguez Cup!! We had some exciting races down to the wire - teams getting hot at the right time, and teams limping to the finish line leaking oil!!

So, here's the deal - I need every team in the playoffs to trim their rosters back down to 26. The game will not advance us into the Wild Card series without this.

Once we get that out of the way, and when the Wild card teams are ready to go and have exported - and posted here as being ready, I will go ahead and sim. We will 'speed sim' through the post-season - I will go as fast as the playoff GMs export - but I will not sim more than one cycle per day. We will follow the plan listed below. We will not go more than two full days without a sim, so 5pm PT on the third day will be sim deadline. I will post appropriately after each sim. As I continue to quarantine on the Islands for a couple more weeks, with the time difference, I will sim in the morning if everyone is ready to roll (typically 1pm ET/10am PT) - please don't feel pressured to meet that deadline - i will run the sim when folks are ready.

Everyone should keep tabs of their team and export - even if exporting is not mandatory at this point - keeping their DFA and DL clean as possible. You might want to also consider your future financial situation, regarding potential free agents, extensions, coaching staffs, etc - not to mention how you might spend your CP and who might benefit from winter ball. This can be a busy time of year.

We will have Playoff Sim #1 on Monday, 2/8, so teams have the normal time period to get their rosters in order. When all playoff teams have posted they are set, I will sim Monday - and then I only need those who are playing to export for PO sim 2 and 3 (if needed) and the subsequent sims.

So for now, playoff teams, get those rosters trimmed and exported and as soon as those are all in and posted here, we will begin to move forward!

I believe that to be correct!
