False Alarm. Deadline Extended until 8:30. G,T,G team on it like gangbusters. Thanks, guys. Yes, they are. But there are problems that need to be solved here. Everything just goes so sloooww. [/QUOTE]That has been my one issue with it....We need to be able to make last minute moves if need be...it just happens sometimes and the load time just stops that from happening. Can't even just aslter existing bids because they don't come up til FA loads.

I just talked with John and sorry about the confusion tonight. We locked Set Lineups at 7:45 pm and it also locked FAAB bids for 4-5 minutes. We saw it immediately and extended the deadline for 30 minutes to give everyone a chance to get their bids in.

We also apologize for any slow time as FAAB's deadline neared. We have to watch this and get this moving faster if possible. I was on and off FAAB today with customers and free agents were loading for me, but if it slowed as we got nearer the deadline then we need to watch that and make adjustments. We will discuss that this week.

I'm glad we could extend the deadline to adjust to the slowness. Hang tight as John's team is double-checking all FAAB bids now and making sure everything is ready to be run.

That being said, this is the customer service that goes above and beyond.

That is why Fanball would be up "**** creek" if they didn't hire you, Tom, and Geoff!

YOU ALL NEED RAISES!!!

Or maybe the IT team can give you 1/2 their salaries!

Kids too. They got extra ice cream for dessert before this all came down, so I'm in good graces with them.
