NFBC Message Boards

Greg/Tom,



In March 15 Satellite 250 I swear I had a $8 bid to drop Endy Chavez and pick up Josh Outman. After the bids processed no one picked up Outman. Can you check this out for me? Team name - Apple Jacks.



Thanks,

Fred

Hi Greg/Tom,

In the past couple years you guys did 2-3 ADP updates from the slow drafts and satellite drafts for all people who had signed up for events. Do you plan on doing it again this year and also have you thought about the dates you will release them?

I think we lost our focus here. Last year's mixed auction prices are worthwhile. Each individual player's bid will change but the overall perspective of how many $40 players, $30 players etc. there were last year will stay pretty consistent in the following year since there is the same amount of mon...

Ditto - I would really like to see that info.

As far as I know they don't. You would have to create that spreadsheet on your own unless you could find a site selling 2010 SGP's as part of their 2011 projections package.

I would be very surprised if the NFBC didn't exist on some level this year. Greg and Tom are survivors and they have a ton of loyal patrons just waiting to join any game they offer. It took them several years to build up this following and I don't see them letting it go. I believe that at the very l...

They should start using the expanded system as soon as possible. It will maintain interest in more cities during the latter part of the season, even if for some cities it is just a small hope by August. As a Jays fan it would be nice to know that if they could even finish third in the AL East they w...

I thought that first place in the Winner Take All $125 leagues was free main event entry in 2011. Is that true or are they $1300 and then the owner can choose what to do with it? Also, can an owner choose to apply their 2010 winnings to 2011 entry fees without ever receiving the money? That could be...

OK, since it is October, let's talk about this from a real baseball perspective rather than fantasy baseball. When you factor in Halladay's workload, dominance, consistency, character, effect on young pitchers (listen to Toronto's young staff talk about him).....how many baseball players would you r...

I know this isn't a rule change but where are you planning on having NFBC drafts in 2011? I know you expanded in football but wasn't sure if baseball expansions are in the plans too. Also, do you plan on two weekends of drafts again or just one? My apologizes if this information was already posted b...

I totally agree with Gekko on this one - you should be able to replaced a pitcher on Friday only if he hasn't entered a game so far in the week. That way you only draw stats from 9 pitchers during the week, just as we do now. The small rule change would prevent getting screwed if a pitcher is pushed...

I've got to agree with Gekko. When there were problems in April I cut Fanball some slack and figured that eventually everything would be ironed out and this would still be the best-run game in the business. But, problems at the end of July make me think that this will be the permanent quality of ser...

Anyone else not getting the screen to set lineups for July 15th? Not an urgent matter but mine disappeared as an option a couple hours ago.

JFTR, I don't think this one is an "IF". Beltran was dropped in a main event league about 3 weeks ago. He was picked up the following week for 650 or so.

I have seen this rule before but I couldn't find it today - any help would be great. I own Brett Anderson. He will be on the DL on Monday when he makes his rehab start but if it goes well then he might pitch for Oakland next weekend. Can I: Start the week with Anderson in my lineup. If he isn't acti...

Greg/Tom/Geoff, I haven't had time in the past week to follow all the threads here so I apologize if this has been covered...... When do you expect that we will have to ability to set our lineups for future weeks so that we can start looking ahead to matchups etc. without having to open up a schedul...

When I try to look under History it keeps reseting the date to 1/1/2010 for start date and end date and shows no transactions. Anyone else having this problem?

Geoff - I just emailed you specifics from a league I am in.

I agree with Glenn - it isn't a user issue because it has happened to many people.

I think if you haven't run into any problems then you have just been lucky so far......

I agree that the wait time is an issue but I think the switching players is a bigger issue right now. I'm willing to wait for it to load as long as it gets the right drops. For example, If I want to drop a catcher for a different catcher and also drop pitcher for a different pitcher and then if swit...

Mine actually just switched back to the way I didn't want them! So much for thinking I had it fixed, even after deleting them and starting over.

How does the computer program know exactly how I DON'T want them??!!

Maybe Geoff can help me out with this or another owner?..... I have made two sets of bids for one of my NFBC teams. When I log back in, the free agent program always switches the two players that I am planning to drop into the opposite set of bids. I have gone so far as to completely delete both set...

I know this question was asked before but I don't think it was answered....

how do those of us that paid by check put insurance on one player on our roster? I'm sure that has to be done by Sunday night. Do we need an ADP first? Or, can we just choose someone from the top 100 picks of our draft?

I don't know if these questions have been answered in other threads. I didn't see them....... 1. Do you know when we will be able to start putting in bids on free agents for leagues that have the rosters entered? 2. When we will have the ability to work ahead and set our rosters for future weeks, ot...
