NFBC Message Boards

Need a clarification here. What is the deadline for the first week? Wed 4/4 is not listed on the roster page. Is it part of the first week or the second week?

Wednesday is the deadline.

I have raised several times on here and via email that the set lineup page for the first week does not show the games on 4/4 or 4/5.

From the rules...

First Lineup Deadlines for Week 1: The MLB season starts on Wednesday, April 4 this year and the Wednesday through Sunday games are considered Week 1 in the NFBC, along with any results from the March 28-29 Japan Series between Seattle and Oakland. Lineups for Week 1 will lock 5 minutes prior to the start of Wednesday's first game for the rest of the week. You then may set your starting lineup for Week 2 and games beginning Monday, April 9, until 6:55 PM ET on Monday (and, for players in early Monday games, until 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of their game).

Thanks!

I have been trying to submit my lines ups and the web site is all screwed up.

The dates are off and make no sense!

Come on guys get with the program and communicate better. 2 days until the real season starts and we can't submit line ups.

Get with the program!!!!

Greg,
Was I too drunk last Saturday to understand what you told me? This coming Friday, can we switch hitters or whatever line-up I use Wednesday stays in up until next Sunday?

Thanks and sorry if I make you repeat.

Greg answered that in my "Week 1 Clarification" thread lower down on this page. We can change hitters on fridays as usual.
