NFBC Message Boards

I notified Greg that I think these numbers need to be looked at in the various contests. As an example, Gekko posted in another thread that Hazelbaker was picked up in every main event but one. I picked him up but the percent owned in the main event shows 33 percent. Matt Wisler shows the same ownership of 57.3 percent in my draft championship, main event and ultimate leagues. The percent started is also 13.5 in all three. I am considering dropping Wisler in the main event and I would prefer to know what the accurate percent owned is in the main event. Thanks.

I think you might have greater problems than "percentage owned". You own that team. You manage that team. Do what you think is best for your team. Don't let percentage owned dictate that call. I think those numbers are relatively useless. They come in handy when trying to sort through gobs of FAAB players but other than that - not sure what value they have. Just my opinion.

We are going to break down the % Owned, but not by every single product. I've asked for:

15-team leagues Percent Owned
12-team leagues Percent Owned
Cutline leagues Percent Owned
Draft Champions Leagues Separate

Right now Cutlines are separated, but the others are combined. That will change soon.

Thanks very much.

Any update on this? Percentages are still jacked up.

The percentage owned for 15 team leagues, as of this morning, includes the draft championship leagues. So if you are wondering why the percentage owned for Schwarber is still 66.7 per cent, or Colabello is still 68 percent in your 15 team main, super or similar leagues, that's why. Just a heads up if you use these percentages when doing FAAB.

I'll talk with IT about the 15-teamers to see if we can do one last separation between the Mains/Sats/Supers, etc. and the Draft Champions Leagues. I hadn't thought of that when I made the request to separate by number of teams. Let me see what we can do with this subset.

yeah w/o DC lgs separate, this update doesn't actually help too much.

yeah, with the DCs in there it's worse than just having all other lges combined

This is maddening & needs to be fixed ASAP. We are now 8 weeks in and what I consider to be the best FA filter continues to be an issue which essentially makes % owned an absolutely worthless filter, and make FAAB even more tedious.

We will be taking out the DCs from the 15-team percent owned fab list soon. Sorry about that

We need the NL and AL only lges fixed too.

Just have those pcts mimic the 15 teamers ... anything is better than every player showing as either 0 or 50.

maybe by the all star break (after 50% of the teams have checked out)

You want these under the 15-teamers or the 12-teamers? I actually requested it this way, so blame me.

The "onlys" are deep leagues, effectively 24-teamers ... so the 15-teamers are closer to reality than other 12 teamers.

Okay, my bad. I told IT to separate them, but I'll ask for the switch back.

What is the hold up on this? I cannot understand for the life of me why this hasn't been fixed. This is a task that literally should take 15 minutes for IT to complete.

Again, maybe by all star break. And yes I think it is a complete joke this wasn't resolved before week 1 was over. This is really elementary shit. It's no wonder STATS IT is consistently ridiculed.

Minor observation...

Wouldn't make sense if we were researching a player's page for one of our teams, to be able to click over to another one of our teams to see if he available there too?

As of now if we switch teams, we need to re-enter the player name and search again.

Works nice going from live scoring to live scoring.

Meh...not crucial...a luxury, I guess.

Any word on when the Main %'s will be fixed, loses so much value with the way it is done and makes FAAB take even longer on a Sunday than usual. Thanks!

When IT completes this herculean task, can you have them start figuring this out for football too. Awful having draft champion data in football too. Not sure why it cannot be by event the team is that you are doing. Seems easy, but I am not a programming expert.

Okay, the Draft Champions Leagues have been removed from the NFBC 15-team % Owned leagues. We are still trying to figure out a best solution for the AL-only and NL-only auctions. I've asked IT today to put them back into the 15-team % Owned listings, but for now that will make every player less than 100 percent owned. That's not the end of the world, but it's not accurate for 15-team leagues either. We think we have a workaround that we can take care of there, but for now if you see Mike Trout 99.9 percent owned just realize that he's not owned in the 1 NL-only auction league.

We should have that % Owned for AL and NL auction leagues updated soon and hopefully our workaround will follow next week. Thanks all.

So now we have:

15-team % Owned leagues combined
12-team % Owned leagues combined
10-team % Owned leagues combined

Hope that works. DC leagues have been removed from the FAAB listings since there is no FAAB there.

We'll ask for the same data to be displayed this way in football.

Great job- very, very helpful now- looks great.

It is much better now. Thanks. Makes FAAB much quicker.

Great stuff, thanks for getting it all fixed Greg.
