Re: Do Lineups Lock Tonight For Teams That Are Off Today?

Greg will tell us for sure but it seems to me they had a couple rainouts on Friday last season and he told us lineups would lock at 11pm Friday despite teams not playing at all that day.

Maybe I’m misremembering.

Owned and Start Percentage is contest specific.
Cutline should show either 100% started or 0% started but there’s everything from 99% down to 1% too.

Makes no sense in Best Ball.
Are you sure the Cutline leagues aren’t seeing Overall ownership/started numbers?

Re: Notes for IT

% Own % Start Why are we seeing varying numbers for % Start when ranking players for Cutline FAAB? Leads you to believe the numbers are not format specific which makes the numbers for % Own seem unreliable. Maybe there’s a setting I missed to change the format? It should really be automatic when you...

Re: The Official Greg, Tom, Darik Live Chat Thread: Ask Here

Chris, this already exists (and did last year, too) in the draft room. There is an icon with 4 little lines to the right of the player search box that allows you to create, edit, and save custom lists. They will then be there in any draft room you open. And you’re saying the custom rank function ca...

Re: The Official Greg, Tom, Darik Live Chat Thread: Ask Here

Suggestion for a small improvement which every online drafter will love: When you set the parameters for ADP and get the results you wanted, how great would it be if there was a button to “Save To Custom Rankings”?? Then it would be SO easy to load those personalized ADP ranks into the draft you’re ...

Re: NFBC Random Slot Generator BLOWS

Just found out the draft order for my 8th entry.

Re: Slow pokes and Draft Champion Leagues

Happens every year. One or two guys enter the slow DC thinking it’s okay to run their timer down to 5 minutes until they make their pick. In 73 hours our league has made 97 picks. Doesn’t bode well for morale. Why do people pay money to avoid drafting their team? Is there really any advantage to wai...

Re: Take Notice: NFBC Improvements!

Suggestion for consideration Would it be difficult to implement a “timeout after XX minutes of no activity” in slow drafts? We’re seeing green dots on managers who end up going 3-4 hours On The Clock and either running out the clock or picking with 5 minutes remaining. It gives the impression the gu...

Re: NFBC Random Slot Generator BLOWS

You're 100% wrong here. If it's not random it IS creating both advantage and disadvantage for certain owners.

We are going to program the software to automatically give you that discount for a third team even if you buy them one by one and the same will be true this year for the Online Championship.

Just an FYI for anyone who did the NFBC auctions previously where the first 345 picks were at RTSports then got loaded into a NFBC snake draft.
