There have been some issues with games missed against opponents so I thought I should republish the rules on playing (particularly since the old blog is having issues)
Playing games and rescheduling
Real life always takes precedence over games and on occasion players will miss games or might be in a situation where they have to leave the league either temporarily or permanently
If the scheduled game time comes and your opponent is not there you are encouraged to give him 5 or 10 minutes to show up. If he does not show up or contact you by the 2nd 5 min wait period it is acceptable for you to being play
If a player is unable to play a series at the allotted date and time he is encouraged to contact his opponent & reschedule before the scheduled game time. If it is not possible to reschedule said player should put his team on auto for that series so his opponent can get the games in so as not to force an autoplay with the system taking both teams.
If due to illness or some other cause a player has to leave the league for a few weeks he is encouraged to find a replacement player to take over on a temp basis, if that is not possible he should put the team on autoplay until such time as he recovers.
If a player has to permanently leave the league and does not provide a replacement his team will go on autoplay and I will attempt to find a replacement manager.
REMEMBER IF YOUR TEAM IS ON AUTOPLAY AND YOUR OPPONENT REQUESTS A RESCHEDULE THE RESCHEDULE WILL AUTOMATICALLY TAKE PLACE AND IF SAID RESCHEDULE REQUEST IS FOR “NOW” THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED.
Also be aware that unlike the pervious version of the game if you are playing against the computer it does not say “computer manager” it has the name of the owner of the team so your opponent might not know you aren’t there. (some folks just don’t like to use the chat).
Auto Settings
If your team is on Auto Pilot that means that if a game is played the computer will take over as manager.
Be aware that you can set auto pilot for a single series so if you have to be away, or if work is particularly busy or even if you just don’t like the guy you are supposed to play that week you can check off the box and once the series is complete auto pilot will shut off.
On your team’s screen there is a Manager settings page that allows you to set how the pc manages when you are on Autoplay. You can set a default lineup vs lefties and righties, set up a rotation (and decide if a pitcher can go on short rest, when relievers come in. who your closers and setup people are, how aggressive to steal or run or take a base, pinch hitting and the lot.
You can set as little or as much as you want to set.
Even if like me you don’t plan on playing any auto games, things happen so if you want your team run the way you want it, make sure you check these settings.

Update: Was asked about the keeper rules so here is an update on that which I sent out by email to the person who asked:
Here is the system fyi number of keepers is in addition to any rookies who are having their 1st dynasty card in 1970 with your franchise:
- World series winner 4 players
- World series runner up 5 players
- non-world series Division winners 6 players
- Non division winning teams with the best & 2nd best record 7 players
- Non division winning teams with the 3rd and 4th best records 8 players
- Non division winning teams with the 5th and 6th best records 9 players
- Non division winning teams with the 7th and 8th best record 10 players
- Teams with the 3rd and 4th worst records 11 players
- Teams with the worst and 2nd worst record 12 players
Note 1: this is the max not counting rookies that a team can keep a team may voluntarily keep less.
Note 2: This is after any expansion draft. If there is an expansion draft said draft takes place before rosters are reduced by these figures
Note 3: Rookies who have new cards in 1970 are automatically protected from an expansion draft.
