Re: Innings Minimum

I was one of the eight owners penalized for not making the innings limit. I had a lot of teams and didn't pay enough attention to this one, which I didn't think had a chance to get in the money. It was careless of me. The innings limit is not hard to make and I don't think it should be changed.

Coz, Any chance we can keep NFBC forums well baseball forums? No one cares about your political opinions or opinion on COVID.

Re: Heberlig and the Betts Trade

I'm in 2 DCs with him now. I don't care how many he is in. I just wish he would draft a bit quicker. I'm thinking of making one of my teams "Waiting for Heberlig."

Re: Draft Champions Podcast

I listen to this podcast regularly and this episode was the worst by far. It was full of self=promotion but way short on helpful information on the Draft Champions format which is kind of the point of the podcast.

Average Draft Time

I thought it was a great idea to add this feature. I draft quickly and hoped that seeing the time would encourage others to do the same. Unfortunately, the feature doesn't work. I'm currently in DC draft # 1315 and it shows my average draft time to be over an hour mainly due to taking over 20 hours ...

Re: Rants

That is an excellent rant covering two sports and multiple players. I'm all in favor of other folks rating Yelick that high. In my current draft, he went second, a guy without a team went third (Geritt Cole) and I got "stuck" with that Trout fella at number 4. :D :D :D

Re: Lindy Hinkelman Wins 2019 Draft Champions & $30,000

I was just looking at his winning draft. He usually made his choices in seconds rather than minutes. It means I can enjoy drafting with him even though he kicks my butt.

Re: Set Lineup Changes For 2019

I have 15 DC teams, 8 with a partner and 7 alone. I committed to this many believing that last year's IT issues were a thing of the past. Silly me. The IT folks had a six month off-season to make this work and, for the second year in a row, totally blew it.

Re: Draft Champions Overall Standings Issues

Point totals for Draft Champions Overall Standing categories are incorrect. Also the total number of teams is incorrect. Right now there are 3450 total teams listed. Should be 3495 if the owned % page is correct (233 leagues). Draft Champions had a record number of 3,450 teams in the overall contes...

Re: Tiebreaker

I'd like to see this change. I know MLB includes today's numbers in their stats but that doesn't mean we have to. Our games are not identical. My problem with it is that it introduces a bit more luck into the equation and no skill. None of us drafted last March thinking we need to draft a bunch of B...

Re: Slow pokes and Draft Champion Leagues

Going back to slowpokes, I've always thought the time out penalty should be nobody. Just an empty slot for that pick.

I'm in 3 drafts and can't get into any of them. Tried Greg's suggestion, tried different browsers, cleared cache in browsers. Nothing. I'm a big fan of Greg, Tom and NFBC. IT department not so much.

Re: You are not in this league

Glad to hear you are working on that as it is happening to me with increasing frequency. Sometimes, I will sign back in and it will show me my teams but still not let me into the draft. Erasing my history seems to be the key for me.
