ST Completed! Opening Day TOMORROW NIGHT!

[CSCommish]

File and pages up; we are ready to begin our 17th season, finally with the 4 expansion teams in a new realignment. 8 playoff teams! Please get your exports in by tomorrow night at 8:00 PM Eastern. It will be a double-sim.

Remember, 5 points for the Opening Day Export! However, please do not claim it yet; Dave will tally up the FA Exports, ST Points and OD Export and add to each team's bank AFTER the Opening Day Sim!

Break, please check every team's development log and make sure any relievers who learned how to start were legal (must have had "A" duration prior to ST sim) and that no single player lost their ability to field a single position.

Once the Opening Day Sim is run, I will send the 1969_OD file to Trevor to run the Fan Expectations.

Through tomorrow, I will be doing a series of test sims to make sure the stats come out similar to real life; it is especially important this season given the extra 20-25k at bats.

All expenditures completed;

Need to put kid to bed. Once done, I will double-check lineups, check Top Prospects, add Fan Interest (to those who were called up this season so far), back up file, and sim.

Probably an hour or so from now.

OK, getting ready to sim. File backed up
