    League Advance Schedule

    We need a hard league advance date so that we can schedule our personal lives around it. every 3 or 4 days doesn't work. We need more of a every Tuesday and Saturday or something like that. At least we all know the day that the league advances.

    I spoke with the Dolphins owner online (XBL) and told him sunday was bad and I would try monday. I didnt have an 360 last night and wasn't aware that we were advancing. (Normally if im late, I get an email or text saying can I get my game in)

    Anyway, It would serve us all better if we knew the league advance day ahead of time.

    What about a Tuesday and Friday morning advance? 3 days during the week and we'd get the extra day through the weekend. Also, if games are simmed, I think we should turn the injuries off. Just my .02

    Thoughts?

    In my most peaceful voice, I would like to add a little perspective from the guy who has to track everyone down every week.

    On average I post every week as the advancement happens that we will advance.

    on average I post on the boards when the league will advance.

    on average I have emailed you all saying that the league will advance every 3-4 days pending league owner issues, rulings and holidays which are unexpected. (I.E. we lost an owner and I need time to get the new guy registered and understanding what's going on)


    Or I had to boot an unresponsive owner and he has yet to log back in for his next week game and now we are back logged. Or this guy had surgery
    Or this guy had 10 disconnects and wants to know what the ruling is before he plays again..or I can go on and on..

    Needless to say every week, I have to email, post and console. Stay on all night. Text guys on the phone. Call guys on the phone. Use messenger services?

    Some guys don't log on or post for days at a time. So yes it would be nice to just boot them but then a new 2-3 people need to be registered signed up and understand how it works and that takes time so dates will always be in question as long as individually we don't make the effort to simply play our games.

    I'm sure everyone goes on the internet at least 1 time per day...at least once. and I'm sure most people have an iphone or a smart phone and even if u cant get to a computer u can get on the internet. I mean, you telling me you cant get on the vg site for 30 seconds while you're taking a **** looking at youtube videos on your iphone? C'mon fellas its not that hard to schedule a game. Everyone has things going on but we all committed when we signed up so have a little respect for other owners and the commish. Every 3-4 days is doable.
