Sim Consistency

[mattynokes]

This season we've seen the usual mid-month and end of month sims and now Sim #5 was only a 12 day sim. I've also noticed when a sim is supposed to be the 15th of a month, some sim up to the 15th while other sim through the 15th. It's not a major problem, but as a GM knowing exactly when a sim is going to end can affect the roster we use. A player with a week long injury might not be DL'd for a two week sim, but if it's a 12-day sim, then it could change those plans. The schedule below is what I used for my old sim league. It gave consistent 15 or 16 day sims, minus the change in FCM where we now have three shortened sims to end the season.

Ending date is the date that should be shown at the top of Mogul when the file is posted

12 or 13 sims doesn't change wanting consistency in the sims. If it's only 12 sims then sim #11 should be simmed up to September 18th and then sim #12 starts on the 18th. This would make the final two sims an equal 17 days.
