Re: NYC Ultimate League

Greg Count me in as someone who would prefer the earlier start. I always try to make the post dinner and the earlier start would make that better too. I also hope that you are not allowing a contestant in a contest to determine who gets in and who doesn’t. It should be first come first serve like ev...

Re: FAAB Deadline Extended To 11 pm ET Tonight

Sorry everyone for the FAAB issues tonight. The site was down almost 45 minutes and thus we'll extend the FAAB deadline tonight until 11 pm ET. Again, 11 pm ET FAAB deadline tonight.

Things that leave me scratching my bald head

I am trying to be nice here. Just had a tremendous time at a live event. This new interface is a hot mess. It has become clear after all these years that the MO of the NFBC is to let the players sort the bugs out because hey we are all a big family and that is what families do. I am just sick of it....

Re: My excuse for not cashing in my 5 leagues last year

My little girl is probably the biggest survivor fan in the world. She watches old seasons. She usually has one on when I come home from work. We take her to a charity event in Orlando every year called the hearts of reality. You should go. She has about 75 survivor autographs on her wall. Her favori...

Re: NFBC Returning To The Stewart Hotel In New York In March

I love the people in New York but I was very disappointed that we had two auctions right next to each other in that small room. Poor planning on the NFBC part and then wanted to hear nothing of our suggestions to improve it. Something needs to be fixed for me to want to come back.

You then get to click my teams essentially twice to get to your teams. When you click on league I would think ...

Re: FAAB Delays

While encouraged by the effort and some nice new additions the IT part of this contest/company is still extremely poor. So many of these things should have been remedied in the offseason. It is a shame because literally everything else about this experience is top notch.

Re: Gabe Kapler

He smells like Joe Maddon on steroids to me. Has to show everyone how smart he is. Of course as an Alfaro and Herrera owner I am not happy with his lineup decision today. My only hope is Knapp is Nola's personal catcher. Will be interesting to see how he proves he is a genius with Kingery too.

Re: Live Scoring

I would suggest adding totals for the day. if they are there I am missing them. Also at bats and hits for hitters. Also looks like it is defaulting to period live scoring. I am pretty certain everyone will want to default it to daily.

Re: NFBC Random Slot Generator BLOWS

There's no problem here. I like getting my draft slot a week prior.

I also like that each of the 34 Main Event leagues, whether online or live, is...

Full disclosure. I mocked his team a bit in the draft room too but he’s got enough there to be top 5. Not generally smart strategy and I’d never do something like hat though.

Re: September and October

Per the rules: If there is an MLB tie-breaker game or games at the start of a new week, NFBC owners are allowed to reset their starting lineups for that game or games. Personally, I never liked game 163's+ being part of any regular fantasy season. This provides an advantage to an owner lucky enough...

Re: Did Dumb Dumb Really

It has to be something personal between Scioscia and Cron. He has never really gotten a fair deal.

My only beef with Cron is when I have the mlb package up with 8 games I occasionally switch to the Angels game for a Cron at bat thinking it is Trout.
