The Open Schedule

This league runs on weeks. Your season is a fixed set of games —82 games. One season is expected to run for 5 weeks until the playoffs.
That means two things:
• Play your games in any order you and your opponents can arrange. The slate is the list of matchups you owe; nothing dictates which one comes first.
• In order to be eligible for season awards, you must meet the criteria of games played per week. That meaning, minimum 20 games played before the all-star break and trade deadline, and minimum 35 games played at the end of the season to qualify for playoffs and season awards.
