NFBC Message Boards

I think I've slept in my own bed only once this week!!This one is just too much of a softball to pass up...



Did you really need that whole update on the NFBC to disguise your brag post?

Count me in.

Great suggestion. This will make the difference between these things being FUN and not so fun.

It seems like the problem here is that you have an official rule about eligibility AND you rely on STATS as the ultimate authority. Either you should have a rule based on when the players are called up (and monitor it like crazy) OR just make the rule that whoever you get from STATS is included, reg...

In an Online Double Play. I bid $107 for Alfredo Simon. Next bid was...well, there wasn't any next bid.

Hjessi - I sent you an email with two questions/issues a few hours ago. Take a look when you get a chance.

Heels - At the top of the screen, next to your name, there's a down arrow. Clicking on that gives you a bunch of options. Choose 'contests' to see all contests you're entered in (plus history).

For those who can't see how many are entered, we're up to 4. Let's get 6 more...I'm looking forward to collecting $900 tonight.

Another minor issue. Not sure if this will affect others or not. I tried to go back into my team and uncheck the setting that allows the entry to be moved to another contest if this one doesn't fill. For some reason it's not saving the change...whenever I go back in, it is still checked. I do not wa...

Because of the special format (private, multiplayer) I'm not sure you can tell how many are in until you enter. Right now there are only three of us though.



Tom - is prize pool guaranteed or will it cancel if it doesn't fill?

Count me in!

Given all the disagreement on this, for future NFBC season, wouldn't it make sense to change the rule to something that eliminates the need for Greg to make a subjective call on these situations? For example, change it to "Any dropped player who is owned in greater than 99% of all leagues will be re...

Craig is right about my newbie status. My argument was actually made without realizing that there is a rule in place to remove impact players from the free agent pool. Knowing that, I'm not so sure what the right course of action is here. I'd give my left nut for Dotel in one league, if I didn't alr...

I hate that someone in a league other than mine dropped Dotel, but unless there's reason to think that this was some type of collusion, I don't see how they can remove him from the pool without really violating the rules that everyone signed up to play under. This is just an extreme example of how m...

Interesting topic. I'm like Mark - I almost never watch a game. Rarely even an inning. I might miss out on 'breaking news' once in a while, but there's very little that I can learn from a watching a game that doesn't show up somewhere in the statistics. And it probably helps me keep some perspective...

I'm confused. Why are the programming team implementing features that you aren't aware of? That seems like a recipe for disaster...and the exact same flaw in the development process that has led to so many of the problems this year.

For what it's worth, not only does it work great with Firefox, but I've discovered that so does everything else. I was pretty resistant to trying Firefox for the same reason...what the heck doesn't work with the most popular browser? Once I switched, I suddenly noticed that lots of other application...

I'm probably confused here, but why does it appear that Derek Holland was added to the player pool for one of my leagues on May 8th? If I bid on him, am I going to have him removed after the fact like I did with Eric Young in two leagues? Did Holland already get added to the Rangers major league ros...

We have this rule now. No, we don't seem to. Greg has said that anyone who picked Eric Young in a league where Young shouldn't have been available will likely have the pick-up backed out.

Also worth noting that a reversal at this point is going to lead to lineup problems. People who incorrectly got Young and put him in their lineup would have to replace him...and might not be around to do so by game time tonight.

Originally posted by Jules Winnfield: This, along with all the other threads about incorrect FAAB, shows that the NFBC and Fanball does not have effective procedures to get FAAB right. These problems effect every team in every league and really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Instead of name calling...

I got Young in both of my Double Play leagues yesterday It never occurred to me to check the transaction history to see if he had been drafted and dropped, or was there in error. I saw him, I bidded, and I adjusted my other bids accordingly. I have no idea of the correct resolution here if he was in...

Me too. The last time I was in there was Sunday, when it worked fine. Today it's completely unusable. I've tried three times. The first two, the list didn't come up at all before crashing my browser. The last time, it gave an error message before the list came up. Once I tried searching for a specif...

Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: Good news: Sunday player display is corrected. Players will be displayed in the lineup position they were during that period, so Brett Gardner, Josh Bard, et al, who played on Sunday and are inactive this week are now back in your Active lineup for Week 1. Sorry ...

Originally posted by Navel Lint: Actually. Now that I look at all my teams. For the week 1 (SUN) stats. Any player that I played Sun and then took out for week 2 (Mon-Sun), none of those stats were counted. They all ended up as bench players for week 1. Players like Gardner, Chamberlain, Cameron. I ...
