Tom,



I dont believe there are any structural problems with STAT's site. My contention is that someone could bid 1) $50 for Pellows drop F.Rodney

2) $50 for R.Reyes drop F.Rodney

3) $50 for M.Sweeney drop F.Rodney

Now if they have the winning bid for all 3 players they will have the above 3 and only drop F.Rodney. This setup could be deliberate or it could be accidental (if the team forgets to go back and cancel two of the bids). If this occurs what will NFBC's policy be ? Sorry to be such a nudge



SAJ Q, I think you're missing a key point here...



This is an if/then equation.



The software reads it like this:



I am bidding $50 on Pellows.



Is there anyone else bidding on Pellows?

If not, then award Pellows, subtract $50 from the FAAB, drop Rodney and void the remaining transactions.



IF there is another bid - is it the #1 transaction for another team? If not, go resolve the order of the other team's transactions first... then come back if the bid is still remaining. - is $50 the highest? If so, subtract $50 from the FAAB, drop Rodney and void the remaining transactions.



IF there is another bid and $50 is NOT the highest, then award the player to the other team.



Then go to R. Reyes and repeat the formation if Pellows is not awarded to the team in question.



There is ABSOLUTELY no way a person can win 3 players by dropping only 1 player. The INSTANT 1 player is awarded then the other transactions are voided.



So, yes, the software has to award players using the dollar figures AND the waiver priority requested. It will take care of all players that only 1 team is bidding on first, then examine the remaining transactions and resolve the players in turn. i.e. if 5 teams bid on Pellows, then the program needs to resolve the other players to determine if, after all options, there are really other teams 'still in' on the bidding for Pellows.



Hope this helps - I'll try to give you more examples of a complex transaction if you'd like, but the system is set up to award the players in order, to the highest bidder, after resolving all priority issues and cannot possibly have the high bid on more than one player while dropping only one player.

I agree with Dyv.



you hae a prioity list. If you get your first priority, then the other 2 are no longer valid.

Ok, good to see that. Allstarstats software also moves to the next transaction and determines if the player to be dropped is still on the roster. If not then the next transaction is void. Just wasnt sure about Stats. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know how to access the OVERALL standings for the $100,000.

Here is something I don't think has been addressed.



Let's say I want to buy 3 players(no contingencies) A,B,C and drop three players 1,2,3. In the system you put in your add/drops as A-1, B-2, C-3. BUT if I don't receive player A but do get B I still want to drop player 1 first and not player 2. Continuing along if I get C I would want to drop player 2 first and not player 3.



I have not yet figured out how to set such a priority list for drops. All I can figure is that I have to enter all of the following requests.



A-1

B-1

C-1

B-2

C-2

C-3



If I get player A then B-1 and C-1 are removed. If I get player B then C-2 is removed. Otherwise will the system continue to read through these requests and drop the players in the proper order???



Anyone? Let me do this with names... you're saying what if you want to add:



Bob drop Mary

Max drop Sue

Harry drop Betty

Tom drop Britney



It's easy to figure out how to add Bob, drop Mary - no problem.



BUT, you're saying you want to put in a transaction scheme that reads:



Add Bob, Drop Mary, but if I don't get Bob then I want Add Max, Drop Mary and if I don't get Max then I want to add Harry Drop Mary. Clearly, in your decisions here you want to drop Mary for the best available player FIRST - and you're okay with dropping all 3 players if you get the 3 you want.



You'd enter it like this:



Add Bob $1, drop Mary



Add Max $1, drop Mary

Add Max $1, drop Sue



Add Harry $1, drop Mary

Add Harry $1, drop Sue

Add Harry $1, drop Betty



Thus, if you get your first request - then the 2nd request has line 1 voided and proceeds... etc.



I haven't tested this in the system yet - but this is how it would have worked last year.

All of the leagues should now be legal so from this point forward we should not have any issues as far as legal lineups and so forth. We appreciate everyone's patience as we sorted through all of the rosters and lineups and straightened things out. And our thanks to STATS for all of their help with that process. I'm not sure I get your meaning. Does this mean that if you acquire a FA, STATS software won't allow you to submit a lineup that's noncompliant due to a position inelligibillity requirement?

What is the tiebreaker for FA bids ? Haven't seen this posted anywhere.
