It is not letting me place bids in, its acting as if it is Sunday night and the bids are locked.

Yes, this week FAAB will be closed for most leagues until tonight's Cutline Championship FAAB runs at 10 pm ET. After that we'll open it back up for everyone else.

This first weekend of FAAB is a challenge because MLB teams didn't officially submit their 30-man rosters to the league until Friday and we wouldn't have gotten those lists in full until later in the weekend. We didn't want to erase many FAAB bids with players who were sent down from the majors, so like we have in past seasons, we allowed all players to be picked up during the first FAAB.

This is the first time we've had to have the Cutline Championship FAAB so close to Opening Day, so we needed to allow the same benefit for those owners, whose FAAB runs tonight. Erasing hundreds, if not thousands, of FAAB bids with players who were sent down wouldn't have been ideal for anyone. So we are keeping all players in FAAB today and then tomorrow when everyone else gets ready for Week 3 FAAB, we'll have only players on MLB 30-man rosters or players who were drafted by NFBC teams and then cut who aren't in the majors, available to be picked up.

Hope that helps. Sorry for the confusion, but such is life in 2020.
