More boxes to follow, after more games are played. Box scores not linked here may be seen by e-mailing the Commissioner -- use the scores page to find the series opening date, series game number, and opponent for the game(s) you want to see. You may also use the schedule page to determine which game numbers your team has played in, or you may request an individual team schedule from the Commissioner.

(Note: The game number is always "GM30XXXY", where "XXX" is the series number from your schedule, and "Y" is the game number from that series. So if you were playing in scheduled series #631, and it was the second game of that series, the game number would be GM306312.)

(For further explanation, if you really want to know, "GM" is for game, obviously; "3" is the third player directory in the software; and the first "0" is in case we have more than 999 series in a season. - Commish)
