I sure hope when I wake up in about 6 hours for work and check out this site things look a whole lot better than they do now....This could be quite a debacle otherwise. :eek:

If NFBC could not get anymore screwed up, Gekko's team in NY4 has been changed to my team name. There is utter chaos right now. The NFBC credibility built up over the last several years is starting to drain away pretty quickly.

Guys,



I have been informed that all bid history is saved. I have forwarded along some specifics examples of incorrect bids that I've received to the tech guys to help identify any errors.



Thanks

Ken, unfortunately I was at my sister-in-law's house this afternoon putting the finishing touches on my bids and she doesn't have a printer. Unless this gets fixed shortly I won't have access until mid-afternoon tomorrow. I wonder if it's okay with Greg to get a little nervous NOW?

I guess the easy solution would be to push back roster settings to Tuesday or if it needs more time Wednesday. ;)

Thanks Why was Gekko's team in NY4 changed to my team name (ACES HIGH)?

Thanks Turn the rosters back off till they're correct, Geoff. It's like we're getting a view with half the process done.

I was going to do that but then I thought, what good would it do? Someone could just print out 5 different dollar values and use whatever one gets the player they wanted if they lost. So I didn't bother.

Thanks Geoff,

If everything is NOT correct by the time some of us leave for work tomorrow morning (6am EST), what will be done to allow for everyone to have time to see and adjust lineups? From my understanding there are 1pm afternoon games tomorrow. I (and others) will not have Fanball access from 6am - 4pm. Thanks.

I need a few more specific examples of bids that didn't work. Please e-mail them to me: [email protected].



Make sure you include your name and the League that you're having issues with.

Make sure you include your name and the League that you're having issues with. I'll send some along Geoff, but the incorrectness is all over the board. I have higher bids that lost to lower bids, and I have complete strings of bids that weren't processed at all.

Make sure you include your name and the League that you're having issues with. I just sent you one. I had PDF's created of all my bid threads. For some reason I went into today expecting this to happen. I would imagine that every league is incorrect. There are so few transactions for the first week in my leagues. I can't imagine that is reality.

Just a reminder: every bid list has been saved and all high bids will receive the correct players.

Among my 6 NFBC leagues, not one looks remotely correct.

Geoff- I don't have the league number, but its classic weekend 2, online league 1. I bid the same for Rowand as someone else, but he won the bid? Not sure how that works before week 1?



I'm also missing 2 other bids. I know I saved all of them. Nobody else won those players, nor were they taken in the draft.



Team Name TBD

Another secondary concern when this FAAB mess is cleaned up. The next highest bid for the Waiver History is not included. We have had this from the first year of NFBC.

Geoff ... sorry to add any more complicating factors, but be careful with tied bids. In "$125 Slow Draft with FAAB League 2", Jon Rauch was awarded to a team with a bid of $302. I made the same bid. The rules state the tie-breaker is "Lowest draft position from Draft Day". I was Pick #15, so likely should have received Rauch. Ties probably happened in many leagues ... if you are going to be re-running FAAB, might as well get it right ... Thanks!
