CONGRATS!!!!!

I feel like I am posting on the CDM BBS board!

Sure does look like the BBS

Congrats to all you guys. With a little luck I'll see all of you in Vegas this coming year. Sure did miss not playing here this year.

Originally posted by Larry Schechter: Does your last post imply there might be hope for the rest of the Fanball challenge games, or am I mis-reading that? ".... and I believe they want these top games to continue if possible." Great news about the NFBC, but to Larry's question, unfortunately, this q...

I've got to say I felt the same as Doug after the season. Keeping track of my player's health, pitching matchups, the FA pool, setting bids each week was starting to feel more like a job I didn't want to do than a hobby, or fun. I knew near the end of last season I wouldn't be playing another league...

Originally posted by Timcards: I started playing Diamond Challenge in 1998 and it led me here to NFBC. I really, really hope that someone takes in consideration both the NFBC and Diamond Challenge when decisions are being made. There are 4,000 people who play DC every year and we love that format as...

Originally posted by CC's Desperados: quote:Originally posted by Zazie: Thanks for posting the link, which was somewhat informative. But there's a lot we don't know yet, so I for one will try to be patient. I would have expected Liberty to try to spin off their no-longer-wanted business that they pa...

Voices- Dream Theater



Beyond the Realms of Death- Judas Priest



La Villa Strangiato- Rush



Achilles Last Stand- Zeppelin

I'm looking to cut down on in season "work" next year, so I'm looking at the DC leagues, but I'm not big on the "slow draft" and I'm not big on drafting in November. I've mentioned I'd love to do a live draft champions league, but that might not be realistic as it would take a big chunck time. Maybe...

I agree with some earlier posts in this thread about the time it takes now to run a Main Event team. With the Friday changes, the FA bids, it's very time consuming, and I found it starting to become an inconvenience as the summer moved on. That said, one of the highlights of the season for me is the...

great job Ken, Chip & Jim. Always good to see good people win! Hope to see you all in Cooperstown this winter!

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: quote:Originally posted by Quahogs: Greg, what's your take on pitchers matching the hitters friday swap on friday for the last 2 weeks of the season? It's most likely too radical for 2011 but something to consider beyond that? Some can argue that a rule is in pla...

Originally posted by ToddZ: quote:Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: 4. I do not have an answer to the Friday DL loophole some folks have asked me to close up involving pitchers. I need to work on the wording there. What if the rule was that if you started the week with a pitcher on the DL, then y...

Besides the FA change, I don't see any reason to mess with the rest of the NFBC rules. The format here is great. Hate to see rules changed just for the sake of change. That said, I wouldn't be against a 900 IP minimum. More important to me than any rule changes, I'd rather see web site enhancements....

Originally posted by TTBoy: I have a different question. If I drafted a minor leaguer -- like I did with JP Arencibia this year in the 30th round -- and then threw him back in the pool, and THEN bought him on FAAB when I felt the time was "right", that would render this whole issue, a non-issue, cor...

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: quote:Originally posted by Glenneration X: The problem with the rule now is it's ambiguous and too dependent on an "official" time-stamp that obviously doesn't exist. By switching to the new proposal, it takes all confusion out of the equation, and we'll all be w...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: quote:Originally posted by RichV: Maybe the Sunday night games is an issue that needs a special rule. Anybody playing for the first time on a Sunday, at any time on Sunday, would have to go in the next week's FAAB. Sound good? [/QUOTE]Works for me. If he doesn't play ...

Originally posted by Quack & Willy: so how would you handle players who make the Opening Day roster, but are undrafted rookies who have never appeared. Under that rule, they have not played a game yet? You just couldn't bid on him week one. You'd have to wait til the 2nd FA period. That would make i...

I've stayed pretty quiet through this season's trials and tribulations. The errors in the FA list almost weekly suggests one of two things need to happen. Someone (or two) people need to be at work, monitoring the FA list Saturday night through Sunday morning to make damn sure the FA list is absolut...

Nice to see Ken and Chip get some pub. Not only is Ken a great roto player, great friend, but most importantly, a great dad. Class act all the way!!



Keep it up guys. You know I'm pullin' for ya!

Oh good....Ellsbury needed some company on my auction team's DL. Tough blow for that team, Dan. At least it doesn't hurt your main Event team. Nice job so far! keep it rolling.

Greg, Thanks for the tribute to the true pioneers of the national fantasy contests. Without them we wouldn't be enjoying this great game we have now, and everyone should be aware of what they've done for our hobby. We all owe them a great deal of thanks. They grew their games to great levels, yet we...
