[IBL] Newsletter 06-06-2014

RESULTS
-------
All results are in on time again this week.  Fantastic job, everyone!
In fact, all boxscores are up to date, too -- even the ones that aren't
due until Monday.  Keep up the good work!


SCHEDULE
--------
There is a real life week off after week 10.

Week 10 results are due Monday, June 9; transactions Tuesday, June 10.
Week 11 results are due Monday, June 23; transactions Tuesday, June 24.

Enjoy your week off!  All results and boxes through week 10 are required
to be up to date at the end of the off week, which is June 17.


HIGHLIGHTS
----------
In last week's newsletter I reported Matt Holliday and Hunter Pence
each blasting three homers in a game.  Amazingly, it turns out there
was a third hitter who achieved the same feat last week -- Yoenis
Cespedes went deep three times in a game for the Minneapolis Millers
against the Santa Fe Prairie Dogs.


MINI-GRS
--------
I've seen some mini-GRS submissions rejected this year because they
contained an INJURIES and/or STARTS section without stats.  While we
do need you to report injuries and starts in your mini-GRS, the parser
considers it an error when they are reported without boxscores.

So the workaround for reporting injuries and starts in a mini-GRS is
to use a different header for those sections.  I suggest putting them
in parentheses, for example:

(INJURIES)
1 cf PHI TEX Nivar 5

(STARTS)
2 rf PHI BAL Bigbie

Then later when you submit the full GRS, you report them as normal
without the parentheses.


RAINOUTS
--------
We had another rainout this week, so I've scheduled a doubleheader for
CAN at NYK week 27.  You can see the makeup games on the schedule page
(ibl.org/schedule).  Here are the current makeup games:

Week 12:  CSG at MNM doubleheader day 1
Week 17:  CSG at SKY doubleheader day 1
Week 21:  NYK at SFP doubleheader day 1
Week 24:  KAT at WMS doubleheader day 1
Week 27:  CAN at NYK doubleheader day 1

Remember, you should usually make up a rainout immediately by playing
it on the off day after the series, or as a doubleheader on day 3 if
there is no off day.

Only if you are unable to make the game up immediately (for example,
if you have multiple rainouts, or game 3 gets rained out and there is
no off day) should you report it to the commissioner for rescheduling
later in the season.

Also, if you are hosting a team for the last time during the season,
you should roll for rainout a second time.

The full rainout rules are in the IBL Constitution, section 2.1.10.
