Good morning everyone!
Tonight is the LAST NIGHT of PRESEASON - yay! That means real games are just around the corner. Everyone needs to read the following - this is vital info!
COMPLIANCE: All clubs must be roster and salary cap compliant by no later than 11pm EST on Sunday, December 13th. Failure to have your club in order by this deadline will result in a 'Strike 2' mark on your team per the Rulebook - at minimum.
WAIVERS: If you need to send a player to your farm who requires waivers, you must do this by tonight's sim! Tonight is the LAST NIGHT that you can place someone on waivers until the regular season starts. Players put on waivers tonight, if not claimed, will clear by Sunday night.
Lines files tonight are due by 7pm EST - so do not miss this deadline if you still need players to clear waivers!
THIS WEEKEND: If you need to make adjustments to your clubs after tonight's sim, you can send lines files which will be updated to the BEARD website periodically through the weekend. Trades will be processed and updated to the website periodically, as well as any releases or signings.
Any free agent signing request must still be done through the Unassigned posts in the forum and will still require the 24-hour waiting period for additional bids.
If you try to waive a player in a lines file sent after tonight's sim, that action will not be granted.
CAPTAINS, REST DAYS, ETC: Per earlier announcements, all teams must have captains and alternate captains selected for their teams by Tuesday's regular season opener.
After tonight's games, we will sim 3 rest days which is the period between the preseason ending and the regular season starting. This will be reflected in the updated rosters and such after tonight's update.
As well, all team morale and all player's MO ratings will begin the season at 50 before games take place on Tuesday night. From that point, however, there are no further adjustments on our end. Things that affect morale and momentum are trades, being benched for extended periods, injuries, winning and losing streaks, and more.

Thanks all - as always, if you have any questions, pose them in the #league-questions channel on Slack (or reply here!).
