Re: So What Did We Learn In Las Vegas?

I work for a rating agency though no longer in the analytic end of work. It's doubtful any of these entities are investment grade.

Re: Number of leagues...

Depends on the format. The DC leagues have no FAAB so there's less to do with those teams.

Re: February online auctions

I'd be interested in a $500, but would prefer a DC than a FAAB.

Re: Slow Drafts

To repeat a suggestion for 2016: move the time limit from eight to four hours, except for an eight hour window for sleep at the choice of the owner before the draft. When an owner registers, there is a drop-down box with 24 choices: 12am - 8am EST, 1am - 9am EST, etc. if your time to pick lands duri...

Re: BASEBALL HQ FORECASTER CUSTOMER SERV

Ray: Here has been my lone - and likely my last - experience with Baseball HQ. On October 14th I ordered Art McGee's book - NOT the Forecaster.

Re: BASEBALL HQ FORECASTER CUSTOMER SERV

Yes they are HORRIBLE. It took them two months for them to send me a book after numerous attempts on my part to reach out to them after they charged me.

The best way to reach them is tweet Ron Shandler. That should get the ball rolling.

Great job guys who put this together.

Just one issue KJ - your last pick is ineligible. Rutledge is SS only so your 2B spot is open.

:mrgreen: It's funny how just a year ago my own complaints of slow drafters were met with derision and I was asked to be more understanding.

Re: Slow Drafts

Sure, if there's a demand for 4-hour DCs we could create a special link on the Registration page for that. We already have a lot of options on Registration and even having a separate Express link confuses some folks. But if an additional DC contest is needed we can get that added. As for adding the...

Parnelli wrote:Does this draft quality for the draft championship overall prizes?
No because this is a different format than those who qualify for the overall auction championship. The other auctions only have 30 man rosters with FAAB.
