Sim is done. Looks like it could be an exciting finish in the Duffy.  Ruston and Bryan have a series with each other and they are just a half game apart. Final sim of the regular season is Tuesday. I’ll post the playoff and offseason schedule today.

Sim is done. Just two regular season sims left. Next one is Monday.

I am going to upgrade to the new patch.  It is supposedly backwards compatible with the prior version of OOTP so you do not need to patch but I would encourage it.  The Saturday sim will be run using 11.2.23.

Sim is done. Next one is Saturday.

Sim is done. Rosters have expanded. Next sim is Thursday.
