One more week -- then our playoffs. All teams will be playing through Week 17, so keep sending your lineup. A few notes for the remainder of the RAFFLE season -- - With one last Thursday game for the season, there will be no trade windows again this week. Also, all Lions and Vikings players will have their status locked at 18:30 EST Thursday. - Trade windows will occur in Weeks 15-17. - Weeks 16 and 17 have Saturday games, so ALL lineups will be due at 10:30 AM EST on those Saturdays. (Lineups will be posted and mailed shortly afterwards.) And a few off-season matters -- - If anyone has a rules proposal for the January Competition Committee E-meeting, send them in. I'll post them as they come in. The deadline for submissions is January 19, 2001, at 18:00 EST. The results will be posted Superbowl weekend, sooner if the votes are in before then. - If anyone won't be returning for the 2001 season, PLEASE let me know asap so that I can get a new owner in place quickly. - I've already got a few keeper franchises to fill during the off-season. (The ones I never filled during this season.) I'll be extending the "official" invite to the eligible Lg IV owners sometime in January. - The 2001 schedules and draft order will be posted in January. Home network update -- The backup server has a memory upgrade, but the motherboard wouldn't take the PIII-550s from the primary server. A new board and more memory are on order. Later this week or over the weekend, I'll power-down the machine to swap-out the parts. After that, a Linux upgrade and Domino install will done. Things are on track for moving the site to the jt-sw.com servers over Christmas / New Year's. The updated FFLM files for all four leagues have been posted to the FTP portion of the site. In the standings -- "x" is division has been won, "y" is playoff berth has been won, and "z" is eliminated from playoffs.
