Question for Jet or Tyson about possible game times

June 07, 2005 at 08:04AM View BBCode

Are games run automatically or must there be someone there, wherever that is, to start the games? The reason I ask is that before the draft/offseason in the RFL two seasons ago I had asked on our forum when the offseason ran. I was told at 3am. I work at nights (and have access to the computer the whole time) and said as much... several other owners implied they were usually up at that time of night at well. It seems to me that there may be a market for a private league which plays games from say 9pm until 11 am. If this is possible, I'll submit an application for becoming a league commish, as I'd LOVE a league that ran at nights.

The Moonlight Graham League is a night time league. My [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/depth.jsp?teamid=22934]Cleveland Team[/url] will become available when my term is up if not sooner. The team is rebuilding and should be very good within 2 years.

Thematically correct league name... I like it! Thank you for letting me know about this league, I'll go read in that forum to find out what the league rules are.

MGL plays from 6 to 11 pm. I was thinking more like 9pm to 11am.. all night long, 15 games a day.

Check with Tyson, but I was told they don't want to run games in the middle of the night because that is when they take the site off-line for repairs, run offseasons, run drafts, maintenance, etc...

We won't run games between 12AM and 1AM, but any other time is fair game. Submit an application and we'll consider it - it would help your cause if you had a few other people lined up as ready to join the league though to help prove there is demand.

Also - in the tiny chance there is a problem with games for your league, I definitely won't be around to fix them mid-stream. So try to keep the rest of the rules straight-forward so that it requires as little intervention from us as possible.

Judging from the poll I posted (link below) we can assume that its not the right time for this idea. However there has to be some level of interest as there were over 160 views of the thread. We can assume, as well, that more than 4 would sign up as not everyone will respond to polls, but I dont think we could put together 16 people yet. As I said in the poll link, I'll try to remember to do another poll again in a few months and see if anything has changed.

Actually, it just occured to me. Could a dynasty league possibly be set up that would play at something like 11pm, 2am, and 5am? Perhaps that would serve to ignite interest in a private league. If it didnt get enough people to make a full league then the teams could be converted to a regular dynasty league. Just a thought...
