NFBC Message Boards

With all the Sharks, Snakes, Money Men, and Sharpsters in these fantasy games I'm surprised someone hasn't bought a $100 Sat League then sold the teams @ $5,100 each, put the Cake in CD's, and paid out 103% of the stake money less 41 cents and nominal office supply expense for each prize awarded. Th...

At least my take of it is Steroids are the now and future. Modern technology for the human body. The AVG. speed per lap of the 1st Indy 500 was probably around 44 MPH. It's over 200 MPH today. Advancements in Tech made it possible. Same for Baseball players and athletes. Canseco describes himself as...

I'm sure this echo's a previous posting but I'd like to be able to ACTIVATE (on Friday) players on my bench who come off the DL after Monday's lineup deadline. ie. Huston Street

:eek: :eek: :eek: This thread is another instance (although the rule is clearly spelled out in "The Official Rules) of why the FAAB Pool eligibility procedure needs freshening for continuities sake. :rolleyes: :cool: The following is from my posting of June 01, 2007 12:20 PM ________________________...

1.As to the “Seeding” of owners for placement in and generation of individual leagues within the NFBC my gut reaction is absolutely not! But I would like to hear other proposals/ideas/thoughts on dealing with the issue of Strong, Average, and Rookie owners. Do I sense a rating system? A. The geograp...

It's not how they play the game these days. GRACIOUS! someone could get Hurt! Wouldn't want to miss a paycheck or the friendly chats before the game.

Jerry Owens Is a FLIPPIN' OUTFIELDER!

Instead of a strict interpatation of eligibilty rules and standards for players that are in question when they are initially called up in a given season. The Commissioner should rule(He has--Owens is UTL only to start.)However, I disgree with ruling. A sense of reality should be applied and not just...

DRAFT and FAAB Pool Eligibility for 2008 “When” players are/become available for “rostering” is IMO another area where the rules need tweaking. (1) The NFBC has a peculiar situation relating to accumulation of stats due to the fact there are concurrent competitions. A team competes against fourteen ...

Positional Eligibility- 2008 It doesn’t matter what new parameters, rules, or standards are instituted. There will always be exceptions. The rules of baseball have been around for quite awhile and still there are questions and instances where the rules are unclear to the situation, are open to inter...

George--- Yea I think it would be a fun thing all around and promote the industry. Personally, I would want them to draft in unison with the main event leagues. The issue of hearing players being taken in other leagues and thus affecting play in others has been discussed on the MB. There isn't a wor...

Jack Cust wants to play in the main event next year. Is he eligible?

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

Hey "Bird from the Ashes"!! I thought I might get a few other reponse than yours. Like since Corriea was not drafted, he wouldn't wouldn't have been eligible for pickup the first week if didn't make the opening day roster, but was when he got called up, then wasn't when he got sent down, provided he...

Walla !! How about this one!!! End the speculation of who the best players are. Industry guys or NFBC competitors? Invite the "The Old Boys Network" of experts, who play in the "Fraternity Leagues" of the Industry Like LABR, and Tout Wars to compete in the NFBC in a "Side League". The 15 "Experts' w...

Continuity I really wanted to call this prong “Consistent Simplicity” but I like the sound of the word Continuity and incorporating the sense of these three attributes would make for an ideal rule…. For me a rule should be easily understood, stay the same, and contribute to the smooth flow of play i...

This is from Tampa League 2.

Nutty,

Nutty,

Nutty, The issue of cluttering the field with a bunch of lines was brought up. The "Field Bi-Sector" would not actually appear on the field at any time. The 2 lines extending from the "Quintal", encompassing 45 degrees of a circle centerd on the "Quintal" would be shown only to the Viewers and "Pent...
