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...

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?

Grady Sizemore Being Removed As Free Agent In 2 League
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...

Dotel drop
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...

Dotel drop
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...

actually watching games
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...

Free Agents Quick Feature Added
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.

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.

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...
