what is the latest on the playoffs???? RT STATS doesn't have a post-season game set up for us, so I've looked around to see if I can work with someone else in the industry. So far I've struck out. Let me pursue this a little more today.

Just an FYI for 2007: We will offer Mixed Auction Leagues in Las Vegas this year in the morning and in the afternoon as not all owners want to do NL-only leagues in the morning. We haven't offered them in the morning in the past because they obviously take so much longer than AL-only or NL-only leag...

Originally posted by bustouts: ok , u twisted my arm, I'm in!! What we'll do is take $5,000 Ultimate League signups and put next to your name (would do $7,500 Ultimate League) and if we get to 15 for that we'll run it. Obviously, we don't hit anyone's credit card until those leagues are full, so the...

Originally posted by Andy Tu La Daddy: Since we're discussing Competitive Balance, for discussion purposes, does anyone out there find that some leagues are way more competitive than others? I know that this is mostly random but I wonder if certain leagues were comprised of more "professionals" than...

Originally posted by Quahogs: wonder how many of those teams have either reyes or soriano. neither were #1 picks but both (reyes especially) were popular grabs within the 1st 4 spots coming back. Q It's interesting that Andy and Chest both feel those who picked early had the advantage when the numbe...

We still have two weeks left in the NFBC season and it looks like most of the league titles are going to go right down to the last day of the season. But by looking at the data from the 24 NFBC drafts in 2006 -- the 22 main event leagues and the two Ultimate League drafts -- it's obvious that no sin...

Only four NFBC owners won league titles during the first two seasons of the main event: Shawn Childs, Stephen Jupinka, Clark Olson and Joe Thelen. One of those owners is currently tied for first place again in 2007, while one other owner is in third place. It looks like at best we'll have one owner ...

The NFBC records are listed in the first post on this page. We'll add to this in two weeks. Good luck everyone.

Originally posted by The Lollygaggers: Hi Greg & Tom, It looks like there's a glitch in Live Scoring that will lock up a browser. Today, Eric Milton gave up 6 ER in 1/3 IP for an ERA of 162.16. It looks like STATS won't calculate an ERA above 99, though. I'm sure it works out fine in the official st...

We'll let all of these cuts ride, even though one team in the New York AL Auction League is cutting four top starting pitchers to ensure his pitching points and a potential second place finish! Those four starters will remain in the free agent pool for the final week of the season. Good luck everyon...

Im interested. what do you have in mind Greg? Some of the guys who drafted in Ultimate League 1 in Las Vegas inquired to see if I would do a higher league in 2007. I've always said, I'll offer whatever you guys want. Anyone for $7,500 with a higher percentage payout?

This is the response one of our customers got from Comcast this week: I understand you are getting an error message when attempting to send to a Comcast.net e-mail address. Comcast has recently made changes to our filters and is now blocking e-mail messages sent from domains that do not have their R...

Wow, the battle for the $40,000 league prizes in the three Ultimate Leagues is definitely going down to the wire. There is a tie for first place in Ultimate League 1, a half point difference in the Ultimate Auction League and a one point difference in Ultimate League 2. Considering the difference is...

Originally posted by rmurph3: I'm also having the problem, also with a Comcast address. R-DNS really is a standard at this point, Stats should be able to support it fairly easily. Every concern about these e-mail sends not getting there in the last few weeks have involved Comcast. With Kevin Deckel,...

Hmmmm, no comments on this thread today.

Originally posted by Andy Tu La Daddy: Again, one more vote for Orlando. BTW, I will be working the New York City Boat show in january at the Javits Center, Chest is right, you'd have to pay union people to set the draft charts on easles You and Chest know a lot, but we're not setting up display tab...

We will have all four cities locked in by the end of the month and open the Registration page after the 2006 MLB season. I've looked into many options in New York City, the surrounding area and even Atlantic City and I still think our best option is the Javits Center. We're closing in on that, but I...

Is it too early to talk about Draft Day 2007? Probably, but what the heck! :D The first round will once again be interesting in 2007 as there really isn't any hands-down Top 5 picks. Yes, there are a lot of worthy candidates, but even the top spot is up for grabs. And with Alex Rodriguez sliding a b...

Originally posted by Joe Sambito: As far as any others, I would ask about the 40-man roster rule at draft time and wonder if that will hold true again. I don't know how the legal ruling early this summmer affects that. I do not see the need for a draftable list or to keep draftable players only on M...

I'm looking for input on potential rules changes for 2007 as we'll unveil the 2007 Rules and Registration pages immediately after the 2006 MLB season. I think there are a couple of hot spots, so I'm looking for your feedback on these and any other suggestions you may have. Here are my thoughts: 1) M...

Everyone who is in contention for a money finish in an NFBC league this year should be getting a W-9 form in the mail later this week or early next week, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Our goal is to get W-9 tax forms back from you and then send out the winning checks immediately afte...

Originally posted by RedSox Nation 2: Yeah too bad i lost Hafner when i need him most right now! My league is so close in HR and i just lost my best guy! That guy is a hitting machine. Tough break indeed. By the way, Hafner went as high as 16th in the NFBC and as low as 44th. Wow, getting him at the...

There has been a lot of discussion about the first round in this year's draft and there's no question that every good team needs an anchor to build the foundation around. There were some solid choices in the first round like Albert Pujols, Vladimir Guerrero and David Wright, and a few disappointing ...
