Re: Notes for IT
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 ...

Re: Sharks and Sheep
In looking at the 8 main events and 2 high stakes leagues that have taken place already there is a wide range of highs and lows on may players. One that I found interesting is Shohei Ohtani. In the 8 mains he went from 193 to 259 and an average of 220. In the Super he was taken at 190. Yet in the $5...

Re: Sharks and Sheep
Sharks is a name that I believe goes to those that have had a reasonable amount of success in these parts. The term sheep was coined a while back by those that perceive themselves as sharks. In my opinion it is a derogatory term meant for those new joining the NFBC who pay attention a little to clos...

Re: The Official Greg, Tom, Darik Live Chat Thread: Ask Here
I see that we have 450+ teams in the main event so far. How about an update on the other overall event entries and where they stand in relation to last year?

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: Dirty Dozens Is Officially CANCELLED For 2019
The biggest problem that held this event back was the timing of the announcement that it existed. The NFBC rolled out it's schedule on November 13th 2018. This event was announced on January 4th, 2019. I realize it probably wasn't ready. None the less it's what held it back from having a fighting ch...

Re: Dirty Dozens Act 2: $30,000 Grand Prize, $4,000 League Prize
It seems to me if you have a main event team that the 75k bonus would attract those owners to this event The main event winner then has a chance at an additional $105,000 against a field limited to 156 teams.

Re: Dirty Dozen
I'll give it a shot. We wanted to re-introduce a 12-team ME-type of contest, apart from the Rotowire Online. Part to gauge interest in current customers, and possibly attract new customers at the $1,000 price point. Part of it was to also remove some of the "grind", especially when MLB rosters expa...

Re: Last Week of FAAB: Good Luck Everyone
Coz, that's the beauty of the NFBC. Most owners like you battle right to the very end, whether it's fighting for first place overall in the Main Event or last place overall. We all have those teams that JUST SUCK all year long, but thanks for pushing through the final game of the season. In Las Veg...

Re: FAAB
On that note it takes from 15 to 25 seconds to load the live scoring page. When jumping between teams this is very painful as well.

Re: FAAB issues again?
I never thought I'd say it but it's time to head to the FFWC FOR FOOTBALL. IF only there was a better option for baseball. Customer service isn't all it's cracked up to be around here.
It was pathetically slow all day.

OF COURSE WE HAVE TO FIX THIS. We have fewer FAAB bids per week than we had in April and May and we've doubled our server spac...

Re: Rate stats (BA, ERA, WHIP) in standings
Many don't realize that just because you're not in the tie, it can still affect you. If you're competing for a cashing position and the guy you're going against suddenly at the end of the year gets additional points from tied ratio categories, you lose ground. It's amazing that it wasn't dealt with ...

All categories are being calculated out as many spots as possible to determine the leader. If you see an example where that's not happening please email me at greg@sportshubtech.com. Thanks.

Re: Rate stats (BA, ERA, WHIP) in standings
This may have come up recently on these boards but are we rounding rate stats (e.g. batting average to four decimals) for league/overall points, or should they be unrounded? I will discuss with IT. They should be carried out as far as possible. How did the discussion go? I still see ratio's awarded...

Okay, I just got confirmation from IT that lineups will lock this week 5 minutes before each team's scheduled first game. That includes pitchers as well as hitters. And we will have a Monday-Thursday Set Lineup that allows you to take out Cubs-Cardinals hitters on Friday if needed. Thanks to the IT...

Why would all pitchers lock on Thursday? Shouldn’t it be only STL and CHC pitchers lock 5 minutes before Thursday, and then the same for all other teams on Friday?

Greg/Tom, Not sure if this was asked earlier in the season, but any chance to get more options in regards to team stats? In prior years we could look at splits such as last 7 days, last 14 days, last 30 days, etc. Currently the only options are each scoring period and YTD. Not a huge deal, but it w...
