My only concern is when/If you replace a coach during the season you shouldnt penalize the new coach for not contacting a player during the week the games were scheduled.
I lost some draft positions because I didnt play/contact beaver during the week the games were supose to be played. In fact, I did contact KGMAN via the GDL site like I've been told in order to play our games and not lose points. Since I didnt get any answer, I shouldnt have lost points but I did. I still got penalized because in order to not lose points I had to contact him during the week the games were scheduled. So basiclly, I had to contact KGMAN to play our games before I even knew I was going to be in GDL. You should make an exception for new coaches with that rule.
When a new player takes on a team, he can contact any players to play the remanining games and make it count even if the games deadline is over.
