Ladies and Gents,

Hope you have been enjoying the S&D's thus far! With only five more night's to puck drop, new blood will be introduced into this feature - dates and names will be finalized in the next few days. One thing that I really liked doing last time around was give a different member a chance to write the feature - I plan to bring that back again. One edition out of the week will be dedicated to just that. If you want to be a part of that send me a PM!

Like stated in the latest S&D, the date indicated in the title will always refer to the previous night's games. Reasoning is that because more often than not (unless noted otherwise) the Studs & Duds will be published after midnight EST and I have chosen to go with the publish date.

Update: After feedback received from Shoeless and Dean Youngblood, the date indicated in the title will in fact reflect that evening's games. So if you are looking for Sunday October 2nd's Studs and Duds, simply look for 10/02/11. Easy as 1-2-3.

During the month of October, Thursday's report (starting with 10/6/11) will be a weekly (Wednesday-Wednesday) recap version of the Studs and Duds. This edition will be featured elsewhere and you will find out where on Thursday (puck drop day)!

That said there will be no recap of last night's games do to having my last draft of the year a couple of hours from now (offline league with buddies, draft and pray style [no add/drops]) and I need to cram some last minute research!

All the best,
Gates

The team will consist of myself, Steve "metaldude", Garrett "dyzfunctioned" and Tyler "TK12555".

Steve will cover Sunday night for Monday's publication.
Garrett will cover Monday night for Tuesday's publication.
Tyler will cover Thursday night for Friday's publication.

I will be covering Wednesday night (for Thursday), Friday night (for Saturday) and Saturday (for Sunday).

Meaning that leaves Tuesday night's games for the Wednesday publication. That will be the date we will go with for forum members to step in and have a chance to write the feature. If no one is available in a given week, one of the crew mentioned above will have it covered.

Unfortunately, due to previous arrangements (before starting the S&D's), I will be away the next two weekends mostly because of Thanksgiving. It is undecided what exactly will go down for these dates at the moment, but we won't leave you stranded!

That is all for now!
