Re: Slow pokes and Draft Champion Leagues

It only takes 2-3 owners to kill a draft. i have a feeling the 2 hour drafts will solve this problem and be a big hit. 8-) In a 2 hour draft we have a couple of guys who time out constantly. The rest go through a break neck pace to keep it moving and it will finish in a reasonable amount of time. T...

P.S. And to anyone reading this who is on the guest list for the party, my PayPal account has been strangely silent tonight. :| [/quote]

I tried sending to at stats-driven and got Mager. Maybe I will try at MTM-driven.

Re: "To Be The Man..." $500 Auction 2018

Excited for this boys. Good news is I think I've mastered the Mayberry Method/Lima Plan hybrid and plan on dominating this league as result. May have more good news to report later this week or even tonight. RotoBaby ETA November 2018. Whoa! Congrats. Missed that chapter of the Mayberry Method.

Re: New draft site

I understand I can load up my queue and put auto for two rounds, but it will take them in order that is in my queue, so I could actually end up with (2) QB's with both picks instead of (1) QB and (1) OF...does this not make sense? Aw crap! I forgot to take any QBs in my DC that just finished. Anoth...

Congrats. Good to be aligned with the company that is growing / acquiring. Couple questions: * What is the relative size in terms of $ for MFL 10 compared to NFFC or NFBC? * Will the Feb 1 MFL launch date affect the resources dedicated to the current NFBC product?

Congrats on the purchase or whatever that was. I just want the old tool of "auto one" back. Is it a real hard thing from a programming perspective to add that back?

Ok. I thought you were listing all of the players that qualified from the list.

Back to the timing question - when are the checks going out? Season ended October 1.

Re: Fantasy Sports Insurance Checks Going Out Soon

Okay, it looks like Fantasy Sports Insurance has finalized the MLB players who missed at least 60 games last year and will be sending out the "winning" checks soon for those owners who paid by check/cash last year and took free insurance on one player. Here is the list of players who qualified: Mad...

Re: Draft Champions?

4 hour clock with the proposed 8 hour stoppage is a thing of beauty and was the result of lots of discussion and debate. New software. New company. Let's start this contest with the 4 plus 8 stoppage being the norm! I think even those that want "slow" will see that this is great and perhaps is less ...

Re: PreMature Draft 2018

I like 15. Love Blackmon and Ramirez. Going two stud closers - I like that too. I am starting to think that the best strategy in these stand alone leagues is either to go this route or just punt saves.

Greg - Have to agree with Dan and a few others on this one. I am OK with counting the stats from a 163rd game, but disagree that owners should get to make lineup changes just for that game. If the regular season ended on a Saturday, then presumably there would be no opportunity to change lineups fo...

At this point, the rule will not change for 2018. We have a month to finalize all rules, Schedule of Events and contests and our thinking hasn't changed that an added game is part of the regular season. Hitting titles, home run titles, every individual honor in MLB is also affected by a 163rd game,...
