Re: WiFi And Power Strips At The Mirage Las Vegas

If you have a power strip plugged in for each U like you mentioned, we can usually figure it out. No one has to stay plugged in for the whole auction but we can share it throughout the auction. Last year a couple of people had extension cords and everyone was nice about sharing those and letting me ...

Re: Is There A Strategy In Picking Your Champions League Draft Dates?

I got my OC and DC done early. There were some values I liked so figured I'd take advantage now.

Main, I haven't decided yet but definitely not the Saturday morning Main, too many good players in those leagues. I know every Main Event is tough but some are tougher.

Re: Simple explanation of injured veteran FAAB eligibility?

Adrian Houser was on the 15-IL not the 26 man, not the 60-IL but not available so he’s apparently being treated as a prospect not a veteran So I think this is the easiest way to think about it. If said player was drafted, but then cut on first FAAB run, will be available in all future FAAB for that...

Re: NFBC 20th Anniversary Live Events: THANK YOU!!!

Thanks to you Greg, Tom and Darik. Had an amazing time at the Mirage and it was amazing having so many people stay at the same hotel. I think most of us go to Vegas for live drafts to hang out with friends and it was the perfect setup for that. The ballroom was also perfect for the Saturday morning ...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: FAAB Can Now Be Done On One Page

I know you're going to love the new Pending FAAB page this year during Sundays, but we're also working on one other feature that could save you a lot of time when you're trying to set your starting lineups. I think this will be even more helpful for our NFFC owners who have even more teams than our...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: FAAB Can Now Be Done On One Page

Love this Greg, big improvement with the new labels. Two more suggestions for you that I think would make this even better: 1. The ability to set a bid amount on the watch list or manage labels page that can then be imported to all leagues. This would allow to make one list of pitchers, ranked from ...

Re: NFBC To Add New Pending FAAB Tool For 2023

I agree with about everything John said. I think it'll be a huge timesaver for those with 10+ teams, for cutline it's a game changer, for everything else it depends on your process. Anyone who already uses the watchlist throughout the week (I don't personally) will save some time but as John said it...

Re: NFBC Adds FAAB Copy List To Pending FAAB Page

I've been on the fence about this but I prefer to keep it as is. There are a lot more Monday day games than you'd expect and it would be unfair to those on the East Coast who work Monday mornings. You always have to check for news on Mondays but I think some people do a first draft of their lineups ...

Re: A Discussion On The Pause Time For Draft Champions Leagues

I don't know what's possible with the system but here's another suggestion. Set it so that no matter the timer, someone can go to sleep at 11 PM ET and wake up at 7 AM PT. For example for a 2 hour DC the clock would pause at 1 AM ET until 8 AM ET for the first 30 rounds and once we reach round 31 th...

Re: A Discussion On The Pause Time For Draft Champions Leagues

Would love to play the 2 hour DCs; however staying up until midnight during the week isn’t something I’ll be doing. I would play in 2 hour DCs if the clock paused at midnight ET. That way, when the 1 hour clock kicks in in the later rounds, 11pm is the latest I would need to stay up I agree with Ma...

Re: Innings Minimum

I think we should keep it as is for the Main Event. The top 40 teams in the overall had 1200+ IP so it's not even close to being an issue for that. If someone wants a heavier RP approach to try and win a league that's fine but we shouldn't change the rules for them. For the DC I think it could be fa...

Re: Tomorrow’s suspended game.

It counts for players you had active in week 2. This has nothing to do with the NFBC but it's how stats are done by MLB. Best example of this is Barry Bonds getting his first career hit on April 20th even though he was only called up May 30th: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/barry-bonds/1109/game-...

Re: Trevor Bauer - can he be Cut?

No problem Greg I understand and I think I agree with you. Anyways it only really becomes an issue in the last month or two of the season where an owner could have significantly more FAAB left than any other team in the league. It would be nice to be able to add a top player but would it be worth le...
