It says in red lettering, bids lock today at 10PM EST, but next to that is says the the next deadline is June 6th at 10PM EST.

Cutline faab are Mondays.

Red lettering is probably just a standard message generated across all lge pages.

Thanks KJ, that's what I thought...they might want to remove that part about the bids locking today at 10PM EST.

Bids are indeed locked! What's up with this? I wish Greg or Tom would chime in.

For what it's worth, I called and spoke with Tom. He said it should be unlocked by tomorrow AM. Doesn't help those who are trying to set bids now and don't have time tomorrow (like me).

Yeah, pretty bogus, I work a late shift tomorrow and not sure I will have any time either, I guess what I have set now may have to do.

Vaguely recall Greg or Tom saying that there was an issue last time and bids would be locked to run the regular FAAB tonite. I got one of my cutline FAAbs in but its a bitch to do so I guess I'll be up early b4 work to do my other.

Once all the other leagues Faab run I would think they could open bidding up for the Cutline. Im awake for a while if anything changes i'll post here! Good luck all getting those bids lined up

Cutline bids are still not opened Monday morning. It certainly makes it hard if you have more than one team when things are shut down for over 10 hours.

I'm sorry everyone. I assumed this was going to be fixed after the first FAAB but that obviously was not the case. It will be re-opened when FAAB re-opens today in all other contests. Again, I am sorry for this. I found out last night when everyone else did that the Cutline FAAB had locked so it was a surprise to me as well. I understand the frustration and I apologize again.

It's open now everyone.

Is the copy/edit function working properly or am I doing something wrong? I was able to copy on bid q and edit the first player. Now when I hit edit it just gives the choice to cancel and no way to change the first bid player.

Am I supposed to do something else to copy a bid and change the first player?

Once again it seems impossible to place Cutline bids. Am I the only one having this problem? It's no fun to play on a site that can't operate properly.

The bids were working this morning when I logged on the site to test everything. I haven't gotten any emails about others experiencing any issues so far today. Please email me your name and a team to [email protected] and I'll take a look. Thanks.

The bids were working properly until about 10 minutes ago. Then the page started doing some strange things and then it stopped working, I'll email my info.

I'm entering bids and getting an 'unknown error has occurred" message. it's a long bid thread, is that why? Is there a limit to bid thread lenght?

If you're getting an error message please email me your name and the team to [email protected]. Thanks.

I feel like I deserve a T-Shirt that says ... ♦♦♦ I survived Cutline FAAB, 2016 ♦♦♦

Toooooo much roster expansion. Brutal.

Honestly I'm not even sure how I did? I have to go back and compare what I wanted to what I got. I may have that done by the end of the week!

Agreed. I have a dozen teams and am at my max in the current format. Exhausting. As fun as the format is except for FAAB, I can't imagine doing more.

Maybe drop a catcher, draft a couple more and expand just by two, twice.

There needs to be a rethink here. It's excruciating with 3 teams - God knows how you all handled 3 times that many.

Just click a bunch of buttons on the computer and hope!

1st or 2nd in all 3 of my cutlines but didn't manage to get to 46 players in any of them. Probably blown it.

I'm short a player on at least half my teams. Probably common. Aggravating but hopefully not deal-breaking. I was also short-handed after the first go around on some teams, and it didn't seem to hurt too much. Also had Schwarber on 9 of 12, which probably hurt more than not having a marginal add. I'm thinking you'll be fine. Enjoy the ride from here!
