No more Manic Mondays

I have arbitrarily and capriciously decided to change the end of the competitive week for the Lip Pike Coalition.

Effective immediately, play for each week will end with the final game on Sunday night.

This is mostly because the games generally end earlier on Sunday than on Mondays, and I don't have to stay up until midnight entering data, sending Emails, etc.

What does this mean for you? This means, if you have any lineup changes for the following week, they are now due by the end of the last MLB game every Sunday night, rather than Monday at 5 p.m.

Additionally, the scoresheet and the blog will be updated on Sunday evenings instead of Monday evenings.

As a result, this week, for scoring and competitive purposes, will only be six days. Players that were originally out until 5/22 can be put in the lineup for Monday, 5/21.

So, move your ten minutes (at least in Eric's case) ten seconds of thinking about this from Monday to Sunday.

If you have any questions or commments, let me know.
