Someone's getting screwed - 2 weeks of 10:45 pm start, followed shortly thereafter by trades, so you can get the 10:45 start with another team...

If there's a week to pray not to be traded, this is it.

(P.S. are 2 10:45 games in a row really a scheduling necessity?  Being a zombie at work 2 Tuesday's in a row isn't great for the career - and no, I'm not QUITE at retiring age yet).

Sina's is the team to be on. They have only three late games in the season so far, with only one is this round. Maybe his number is up in the last round? I have had three out of four late games due to trade, and I AM at retiring age!

Oh Justine, nobody retires at 35 these days;)

First, it's the nature of the league that your schedule will be unpredictable and potentially not fair. As an example, Brian Kells currently has had it worse than you. Because of how the initial schedule distributed games to his team, trades and then how the re-draft played out, he's had a really unfortunate distribution of late games (we were considering a trade to address it, actually).

Almost every team has had runs of games in certain slots, and I think every team has had stretches of early or late timeslot games. That said, schedules are balanced over the first 16 weeks of the season. I currently have six GM's getting an even distribution of games (4/4/4/4 at 19:00/20:15/21:30/22:45), and the other two have 4/3/5/4 and 4/5/3/4 respectively. Early and late game distribution balance was the most important, because they are the most logistically difficult for people. 

EDIT: Oh my god, I just double checked the schedule and Sina really does only have 3 late games! That's a big "oops" on my part. Mea culpa. Also, bad news, Sina, that's getting fixed.

But I gave you money...

The players will understand that right?

I understand.

Give him more money, so that we don't have to play more late games.

a.) I can't be bribed

b.) This won't matter for one of us, as Sina literally cannot afford both of us.

It'll be in Keates' interest as he will be stuck in my team.  Who wants a second round pick that is making too much money?  Definitely not Mehmet AKA Moneyball.  Does he know that players are earning a salary?

I suggest immediate corrective action by switching Scoobers' and Pirate Rob's timeslots for the Feb 1st game. 

PS this has nothing to do with the fact that I've been traded...
