2036 Playoffs
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2022 8:04 pm
So here we are - the 2036 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 wild card teams in the playoffs to adjust their playoff rosters to 26. The game will not advance us into the Wild Card series without this. Hopefully the game has made that adjustment for you on your Playoff Roster.
Once we get that out of the way, we will have our first playoff sim Monday, and then, once the Wild card teams 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 no sooner than 1pm ET/10am PT) - 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.
All GMs 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. Don't forget your writing possibilities! This can be a busy time of year! Don't forget that at this moment, minor league playoffs are still underway.
We will have Playoff (Wild Card) Sim #1 on Monday, 10/24, so teams have the normal time period to get their rosters in order. I will sim Thursday at the normal time - and then I only need those who have games to export for WC sim 2 and 3 (if needed) and the subsequent sims as teams post their readiness.
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!
