LEAGUE NEWS
Congratulations to all managers for a strong first half of the 2016 NABC season. In June, all game results were reported on time and without issues, while only one carryover injury was not observed correctly. So, keep up the good work and Great Job, Everyone!! As always, if you are forced to be late for any reason, communication to the other manager and to me is of utmost importance.
Danbury continues to dominate the Central race with a 11 game lead over Wyandotte and the NABC’s best record. Saginaw retained the East lead, with Buffalo now 3 games back, while, in the West, Woodland also has a 3 game lead over defending champ Livonia. Wyandotte and Livonia man the first 2 Wild Card slots with Buffalo and Midtown tied for the final playoff position. A total of 10 teams have above .500 records at the midway point, which should make for an interesting second half playoff chase.
Good luck to all!

INJURY REPORT (for July games)
We have a total of 23 carryover injuries to 23 different players this month. Buffalo, Harrison, Livonia, Rivertown and Wyandotte were all able to avoid any carryovers. Please always be careful to observe these injuries for your team and opponents.
(n) after games is the series number when the injury occurred
Please note: The final entry for each injury identifies the games the player will miss in June. If it represents all games of a series, then the player should be removed from the Active roster and can be replaced by a Farm team player. If the number is fewer than the number of games in the series, then the player may or may not remain on the Active roster, but he MUST miss the FIRST so many games (such as 2 of 4) in the series.

Please highlight all injuries to your players as well as all injuries to players from other clubs who must miss games against you. As a road manager, if a player must miss an entire series, you must remove him from your roster for that series. As a home manager, you are responsible for holding out the correct players for both teams. Please check the instructions you get from road managers against this list, before playing the series. If there are discrepancies, please request revised instructions from the road manager. This should be easy to do with just a little care! Thanks.
