Re: Open Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik
Time to discuss the elephant in the room that is early drafts before the ChinaVirus took hold of our lives. The fact is all early-drafters drafted according to a set of rules based upon a 163-game season with minimum IP & position eligibility requirements set accordingly. Further, a 162 game MLB sch...

Re: Open Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik
I have to keep posting hope for an MLB regular season. The latest plan is calling for three divisions, 100 games, a late June start and possibly home games: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2020/04/28/mlb-optimistic-about-starting-season-late-june/3039275001/ Thou...

Re: Open Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik
I’m planning on July start date with 81-100 games. And let’s hope they aren’t waiting for an effective vaccine, as that could be never. Yeah, if the vaccine is 12-18 months away, then we can't just shut everything down for that long, can we? I think quick testing, the development of anti-bodies and...

Re: Leagues already drafted
I'm not entirely sure how to think about this, but I don't think that the points made here completely negate the problem. As I read it, the two main reasons given for letting already-drafted leagues play out are (A) the fact that everyone in a given draft has the same info and (B) the fact that the...

Re: 163rd Game Play-In Final Survey Results
Wasn't my suggestion, but I do like this one Allow a pitcher who has not pitched M-Th to be swapped out & replaced on Friday, i.e. a P does not lock until he enters a game & accumulates stats M-Th.

Re: Rules for 2020
I don't care much about game 163, other than if it counts I don't want to be forced into a lineup decision by a player lock. Either don't count it, or let me decide if I want my guy to play in it. I say if we're going to include an unscheduled game not even known whether or not it will be played un...

Re: Rules for 2020
I vote to get rid of Game 163. How we include a game in a season long contest where it is not even known whether the game will be played until late afternoon/evening on the last Sunday of the season AT THE END OF THE CONTEST & then proclaim “sorry folks all games count,” is silly. It adds nothing to...

Re: Is There Interest In A Single-Entry NFBC Contest?
The NFFC Silver Bullet did take time to sell out, but once leagues began selling out it didn't take long for the stragglers to grab those final spots.

I would like to see the deadline pushed back an hour at least, (and 2 hours once Football starts). This would at least give people more time at night to work on FAAB. The idea that people need to set their line-ups Sunday night after FAAB is antiquated & outdated with the proliferation of mobile dev...
