Thanks for the explanation Greg. There are a lot of nice added features on that page and the part of always having a legal lineup takes a little getting used to but it's not a huge deal. The main problem is the player disappearing when you click one player and then getting moved back to the top of t...

One thing I’ve noticed is the set lineup page. Let’s say I have Gallo in an OF position and I want to move him to CI. I can’t do that directly in the guy in CI isn’t OF eligible. We should be able to put Gallo in and it kicks that guy to bench then replace Gallo. Right now I have to replace Gallo w...

The new save button when making FAAB bids drove us crazy last night during FAAB. Please remove if possible. It's an extra step that is unneeded and greatly increases the chance an owner makes a significant mistake by forgetting to save their changes. This is very likely to happen if someone is in a...

A few annoying things that I noticed today on the website: 2. Having to click save when making FAAB bids. I don't see the point, they should save automatically. I agree having to commit to a player drop and save the whole bid string is annoying but as Greg explained before, this was necessary to av...

A few annoying things that I noticed today on the website: 1. The FAAB page is slow. I type a name in the search bar and it takes about 3 seconds to load. 2. Having to click save when making FAAB bids. I don't see the point, they should save automatically. 3. When setting lineup, when you click on a...

The NFBC community is like a family. Have to have thick skin. Sometimes we all don’t agree on everything and squabbles occur. At the end of the day, I’m grateful the NFBC is around and that Greg is running it. With that said, i’m hopeful a #1 draft choice is coming sooner rather than later. 32 stra...

A nice welcome to the NFBC Main Event for Salinger, Palmer and Horton

I enjoy the discussion, so keep it going. And like Dan, I love nostalgic stories too!! But one thing I do want to point out is that the $750 and $1500 OCs didn't prevent the Dirty Dozens from succeeding. We currently have 13 $1500 signups and 36 $750 OCs, some of those from people who moved from th...

Allow me to wax poetic for a minute (more than a minute, I'm lying).... The reason why I am getting a little passionate about the one entrant contest is that it took me back to the times of the original Main Event. It reminded me of when I saw the ad in Fantasy Sports magazine and turning to my wif...

I am obviously in a 100% minority, but I loved the game / concept exactly as it was designed. Joe, I am right there in the minority with you. I loved the idea of a 12-team main event, and really liked the Dirty Dozen as it was set up. I liked the idea of ending it Sept 1, though that wasn't the dra...

One entrant in the Silver Bullet IS what would set it apart from other leagues. Messing with Sept 1, positions, FAAB, or other items are just gimmicks that appeal to few. The new contest could be a stepping stone for the Main Event. Attractive to new and old NFBC participants. The Silver Bullet wit...

Watching a steady parade of relievers in real baseball is already hard to bear. Enhancing their worth in fantasy leagues would probably be as hard for most to stomach. Changing relievers, catchers, or statistics is probably not the right path. I wouldn't mind a 'Main Event Classic' type for the 'Si...

I do like KJ's idea but another random thought I just had, why not have a maximum number of FAAB moves in this single entry contest? If the goal is to get as many people to sign up for this league on top of their other leagues, a league with a maximum of 10 moves or something like that with a slight...

Would you ever consider changing the roster requirements from 2 C and 1 UT to 1 C and 2 UT? I would wholeheartedly approve of such a plan. The idea behind the original rules of Rotisserie Baseball was to have us make the tough decisions of putting together a Major League Baseball team. That include...

I'd be in favour of a 12-team single entry, $1,000 entry with more league prizes and a smaller overall prize. I think the $350 OC allows players to make a smaller investment, have a chance at a big price and is already a huge success. I think the goal of this new contest would be to move the $750 an...

Way to go Dan, keep those clothes dry

600 would be a nice round number. The 510 is annoying since it makes the average in a category 255 and for some reason it's a hard number to remember. 600 x 10 = max 6000 pts, average 3000, would be simple and awesome!

That's awesome Dan. I'm a huge fan of the show since season 1, will watch this season as I always do but will have someone to cheer for this time.

I disagree, it's not because something isn't 100% random that it's creating an advantage for certain owners. There's a difference between being able to find a pattern to a random number generator or to a poker site. Say you're able to figure out the pattern on a poker site that cards are dealt in a ...

This thread is ridiculous. Take any random number generator online or with Excel, run it hundreds of times then take any specific group of 10 picks and you'll notice the same patterns that people posted here. In fact when I ran it, I didn't get the first pick until my 38th draft. I know that no numb...

Really looking forward to next season and all the new stuff. I don't know if this is the right thread but it might be a good idea to open a new thread specifically for suggestions. Sometimes it's the little things that you may not be aware of but that can make a big difference. Here are a few that c...

100% agree with the above post. I signed up for 4 teams this year thinking everything would be easier and I'd be able to manage 4 teams but it's not. The FAAB process in general is easier but things are slow, especially on Sunday nights so in the end I still spend way too much time on this. There's ...

Same here

Yep, when we put up thousands of dollars on main event teams it would be nice to know we'll be able to make our faab bids on Sunday night without issues. I've got an hour to put in bids on 4 teams and the site is really pissing me off right now
