With the Regular Season in the final stretch, I felt now was a very good time to share with you as to what's going from my end. Bryce will likely follow up with something, should I missed anything from his point of view.

 - Playoffs are going to start Tuesday Night. Games will be simmed on a day-to-day basis. Not going to race through the most important time of the season.

- Playoff pool, hosted by Dave Barbosa will start at the begining as well. Details: http://brhl2.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=85830&p=3&topicID=35970739

- Also, Bryce is very likely to organize a World Championships for GMs who aren't tied to a playoff team. More details likely to follow from Bryce.

- Make sure you keep an eye on the new ratings. As the saying goes, "Speak now or forever hold your peace."

- All-Star game will also happen at the end of the season. I will likely be on top of this near the end of next week. So expect some information sent your way.

- During the Off-Season, and possibly during the playoffs, Bryce will also be getting GM's in line who need to pay for the appropriate seasons.

- Teams can still submit their 4 RFA contract offers to the league. I did an update a week or so ago, and will likely update next week.

- There will be money given to teams based on activity. Not a ton, but a decent supplement.

- To give you guys a snapshot of our off-season schedule, you can expect this order:
Conclusion of playoffs
Awards
Payments / Payouts
Turnover / Recruitment (No number on this is set, just a logicial presumption)
Official kick off of the Off-Season (Invites have already been mailed out, lost you address Kirk, sorry) AKA Trading Opens
Entry Draft
Deadline to tag / sign RFAs
Unrestricted Free Agency
(Waiver Draft?)
Pre-Season and Pre-Season torunaments
Season 5 Starts / Islanders Dynasty Begins

- To make it easy on yourself, and to stay within good standing of the Commissioner's we urge you to keep your pre-arranged deals sensible. Also, no trade is even up for debate of confirmation until trading offically opens. No exceptions. Also x2, please keep in mind the possibility of some GMs not returning next year.

- Tasks will likely be available all off-season long. Some teams are in need of some cash.

- Am I forgetting anything BRHL2 related?

Let me also take time to personally thank Rob Botham, Steve Vardy and Gareth Evans for their help this year. Rob has done a tremendous job with running the BRHL Europe, Steve is has done exceptionally well with running the International Tournaments, and Gareth has helped me out a lot personally with keeping track of endless and small tasks.

Bryce did some things too, I think.

The BRHL Juniors are also wrapping up, the league will continue next season.

I'm really looking forward to all the minor headaches I get running the BRHL Champions League. I think all the GMs involved will enjoy it to see where their team stacks up against everyone else and see who has truly built the best team in the BRHL Empire.

I think that's about it. I hope you guys are enjoying the league(s). By, the looks of it you are. It makes the countless hours Bryce, myself and everyone else who has a hand in the production worth it.
