Update From Yahoo & Fantrax

[DusterDave]

Yahoo and Fantrax have an update regarding their NHL fantasy set-up in regards to COVID-19. Yahoo provides a bit more info than Fantrax....

From Yahoo:

After reviewing all options for full-season fantasy hockey in the aftermath of the NHL suspending the 2019-20 season amid the coronavirus pandemic, here’s how we’re updating leagues while we wait for a definitive answer on when/if games are going to be played.

For head-to-Head Leagues:


We’re extending the current game week (22 of the season) by 28 days, so the week goes from March 9 to April 12. All future game weeks have been extended by 28 days.

Roto/Points Leagues:


We’re extending all leagues by 28 days.
We appreciate your patience during this time, and we’ll continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.

From Fantrax:

We are awaiting a decision by the NHL regarding the suspension due to the coronavirus as to any course of action that may be taken involving your league. When a decision has been made as to how/when to proceed on our end, you will be notified. Ultimately, your league commissioner is responsible for making any decisions regarding your league.

Interesting topic. In theory now would be a good time to work behind the scenes on which options should be available to commissioners. Not all of them exist ATM. But then again, is it even worth spending resources on features that probably won't matter?

Thanks for this. Pretty much dropped sports for a few days there so missed this info.

Don’t expect a solution to the season. CDC said today that they advise no gatherings with greater than 50 people for the next 8 weeks, which would take us to mid-May.

Leagues should just pull the plug on this season and look towards next season.
