2033 Playoffs

[Board of the PEBA]

So here we are - the 2033 playoffs!!! Congrats to all the teams who have qualified for this year's race for the Rodriguez Cup!! We had a crazy race in the SL, so I'd expect a super competitive postseason on that end - and don't forget the IL - there are some excellent teams squaring off over there!!

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. I may sim in the mornings on some days, if everyone is ready to roll (typically 1pm ET/10am PT, for example) - but please don't feel pressured to meet that deadline - i will run the sim when folks are ready, and the afternoon sim time is perfectly fine on my end.

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, 7/12, 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, ALL 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!

Wild Card Participants, please post your readiness in the forums.

Exports for non-playoff teams are option, but it is to your benefit to stay on top of things - with extensions and coaching staff adjustments and extensions amongst things you may consider worth an export, Please do not ignore your DFA and DL’s...
