Week 1 - Weekly change

[Gates]

Greg
Am I mistaken if I say that week 1 includes all games between Mar 28 and Thurs April 05?
If so, is it possible to include the games of Wed April 04 and Thurs April 05 on the set-up page?
As of now, it only shows until Apr 03...

Thanks
Gaëtan

Either that or Week 1 period should be changed to up until April 03 and the second week period could go from April 04 to April 08 (instead of April 06 to April 08).

Greg,

this is the issue I PMd you about.

The games on the 4th & 5th are missing.

Are lineups due tonight for just the Japan games or for the whole week? This is confusing and with the games starting at 4:00 we need to know to set our lineups tonight.

First week goes up to April 9. Lineups for Week 1 need to be set before Opening Day on Weds or Thursday or whenever it is. You can include your Oak/SEa players then. No one needs to set anything tonight.

[DOUGHBOYS]

No need to do lineups tonight.
These two games will be included in our lineups next week.

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 for the clarification.

Something is still unclear to me. Are A's and Mariners stats applied retroactively only for the players in your Week 1 lineup? That can't be right. Do we get stuck with the stats for every Mariner and A's players on our rosters, regardless of whether we start them in week 1? That doesn't seem right either. What's the deal?

You only get 'stuck' with the Mariners-A's players if you start them on your week one lineup.

you get to decide after the japan games if you want those stats in your line-up.

even if you draft after the games.
