Re: When will players with no Friday game lock?

I guess what's frustrating about this in particular is that winning the NFBC is hard. And it was noted that we have clear sailing from this point in terms of no Friday games. BUT, that said, some leagues will be won by differences of a couple RBI or Runs or maybe a SB. And these are high dollar leag...

Re: Scheduled Games

Hi Greg! Can we also fix this ... Right now, at 9:54pm EST, all first games for all teams for this period (Mon-Thur) have started. I went in to change my lineups - make the easy changes for next scoring period (Fri-Sun) and THIS scoring period is still up. I realize it is only Tuesday but I assume m...

Re: Great Job Yesterday NFBC Greg, Tom and Crew

I think it would help if the game managers and owners were actual players. Mock users doesn't cut it. Beta Testing doesn't cut it. A $50 beat Tom and Greg league doesn't cut it. I'm sure there's reason to not allow employees to play in national contests. But maybe a satellite league with real teeth ...

Re: FAAB Deaadline Easter Sunday Changed To Midnight ET

Early in the day today I emailed Tom asking for help because my conditional bids were ending up in error. My phone was ringing within ten minutes. Tom was already on my account trying to see what I could see. He sounded like SHIT! I mean, he sounded awful, just awful So I told him as much. And he in...

We Need a LIVE Helpline or chat

We need some kind of live chat or helpline that is staffed on Free Agent days and any other critical days/times like a few hours before lineups are due on Mondays. Contest Lobby (or something similar) would probably work fine for this. Email isn't ideal when you need a rather prompt response. And ot...

Re: Moving Players Positions After Their Game is Locked

Hi Greg! I am not trying to sound sarcastic here, but i don't this as being a "nice" feature. I think it is an essential feature so thank you for working to get it implemented. Otherwise, it adds hours to the workload for owners with lots of teams. With some teams playing for the first time this per...

Re: First faab

This was posted by Greg on another thread if it helps. This is no different than what we've always done. MLB 25-man rosters aren't finalized until after Opening Day, so all players are available for this first FAAB, no different than first FAAB we ran under STATS. By next Sunday all 25-man rosters w...

Re: Set Lineup, First FAAB & Free Agent List ???

There used to be a "Manage Teams" button which would allow you to prioritize/list your leagues to your preference. For example, I would like my higher priced leagues like the Main Event to be at the top, along with leagues that are FAAB as opposed to DC. Is there still a way to do that?

Re: NYC when not drafting at the Stewart-Where you at?

Looking forward to seeing our two upstart WNY teams play at - ugh - the same time tomorrow night. But that's ok. The Bonnies and U Buffalo looking to upset the apple cart. See you tomorrow (er, later today) Andy!

Lot of Work Still to be Done on Lineup Pages

I have rewritten this post multiple times so as to not be alarmist or critical. And, I know there was a post about the set lineup issue but that has already slipped to page two of the message boards. But this subject needs to stay near the top of the message board queue because it seems that there i...

Re: "To Be The Man..." $500 Auction 2018

Do you think it might be ok to make it public after the season begins? I know a lot of people would like to follow it. It has the kind of sassiness (is that a word?) that these boards need.

Brian, I expect to see some new Spring 2019 videos with you and a baby bjorn - though not behind the wheel of a car I hope. I guess you could always refresh some old videos and photo-shop in the baby. LOL! Seriously, congratulations! And I apologize that I had to back out this year so I can't improv...

Re: 1 Round Auto Now Available For All Leagues

Regardless of the browser I use, as the page loads I see those beautiful little words, auto draft, but then once it is fully loaded it is no longer there, but replaced with the time left for the pick and no auto draft anywhere to be found.
