BRASSball League Newsletter

June 21, 2006

 

2006 All-Star Game

This yearís annual event will take place in Charlevoix. Al will host the game and provide the league with results.

 

Ballots have been provided. Your ballots are due to the League Director on July 15. Voting is not optional. You are only required to vote for your own league.

 

Fines

We have had numerous late mailings this season. All fines have been reflected in the latest Excel roster file. Please make sure you submit your results to the League Statistician (Ray Martin) and the backup statistician (Brian Budzyn) before the due date!

 

Series Line Scores

Also remember there is a cash award for sending in your series line scores to the League Director after you play each series. You can simply write the series results in the subject of the email: for example, Toledo (2) at Santa Barbara (2). I use this information to keep our website up-to-date with the latest standings.

 

League LZP Restore File

Please remember to restore the latest LZP file from the Statistician before playing your monthly games. Recall there are two LZP restore files sent out each month! The first LZP restore file is sent soon after the 15^th of each month with the last months results. You are to use this LZP file to create next monthís MGR file. Around the 25^th of each month, you will receive the final LZP restore file with all MGR files installed by the League Statistician. You MUST restore using this file prior to starting your games for the month.

 

We have had several instances of series replays due to incorrect LZP restore files. Please rememberÖ you will save your Statistician from a few unnecessary headaches.
