2034 Playoffs

[Board of the PEBA]

So here we are - the 2034 playoffs!!! Congrats to all the teams who have qualified for this year's race for the Rodriguez Cup!! We had an interesting season - some teams that steamrolled and some who had to fight to the bitter end!

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, we will have our first playoff sim Monday, and then, once the Wild card teams have have exported - and posted here as being ready, we will go ahead and sim the next set of games. 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. I will in Hawaii for the bulk of the playoffs - probably up to the PEC, before I return home, so keep in mind that 1pm ET is 8am here - so it might be a bit later in the day for you East Coasters...

Everyone should keep tabs of their team and export - even if exporting is not mandatory at this point - keeping their DFA and DL as 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, 12/13, 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!

Mike, does this include the WIL as well?

I'm going to say yes and yes - be sure to keep up, though I can't guarantee you that the WIL series won't roll over during a sim...
