LEAGUE NEWS

As we move into the home stretch, I again want to express my thanks to all managers for a great performance during the 2016 NABC season. In August, all game results (except 1 set that arrived just 1 day late)were reported on time and without issues, and there were ZERO instances of a carryover injurynotbeing observed correctly. So, thanks for paying extra attention to the injury report and keep up the great work,everyone!! As always, if you are forced to be late for any reason, communication to the other manager and to me is of utmost importance.

Danburyappears most likely to post best record overall and leads the Central race by 11 gamesWyandotte. Saginawsolidified their East lead, withBuffalonow 7 games back, while, in the West, Woodlandtheir lead to 5 games over defending champ Livonia and 9 games over Can-Am.

In the Wild Card battle,Wyandotte,Livonia and Midtown(all separated by just 2 games) have the edge, with Can-Am3 games behind Midtown and Buffalo 5 games back in the race for the final playoff position. Terryville is the odds-on pick for the #1 draft pick, as they are 8 games behind Harrison.

Good luck to all!

INJURY REPORT (for Septembergames)

We havea total of 34 carryover injuries to 33 different players this month. In addition, there is 1 occasion of a carryover injury that was not observed correctly in Augustand 1 long-term injury that will be observed in September. Only Buffalo and Rivertown were all able to avoid any carryovers. Please alwaysbe careful to observe these injuries for your team and opponents.

(n) after games is the series number when the injury occurred

Please note: The final entry for each injury identifies the games the player will miss in September. If it represents all games of a series, then the player should be removed from the Active roster and can be replaced by a Farm team player. If the number is fewer than the number of games in the series, then the player may or may not remain on the Active roster, but he MUST miss the FIRST so many games (such as 2 of 4) in the series.

Please highlight all injuries to your players as well as all injuries to players from other clubs who must miss games against you. As a road manager, if a player must miss an entire series, you must remove him from your roster for that series. As a home manager, you are responsible for holding out the correct players for both teams. Please check the instructions you get from road managers against this list, before playing the series. If there are discrepancies, please request revised instructions from the road manager. This should be easy to do with just a little care! Thanks.
