Satellite Question

Greg/Tom-

When will the results of the satellite drafts held this week be loaded into the website? Forgive me if they're there and I'm missing them, but I don't think they are.

I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully they will be there soon.

It appears they have not been very quick about loading.

Not sure of others - but satellite rosters from the 7th are NOT loaded as of this time. BTW - when is the faab for the satellites??? Is it the same as "rules" indicated?

I'm pretty sure each and every NFBC league (main events, satellites, magazine, etc.) will have the initial free agent bidding on April 2. At least that is implied by Rule #12 in dealing with tied bids.

My guess is that Satellite Leagues will be loaded sometime this coming week but Greg/Tom may wait until after the main event to preclude people from seeing who the satellite players took.

Actually I think week 0 is March 26th this year for satellite leagues. Hopefully the leagues will be loaded by then. Stats is kind of slow for some reason. The teams for the 7th and 8th still arent loaded as of right now.

The Satellite Leagues have their first FAAB pickups on Sunday, March 26th, one week before the other main events. You'll be able to see free agent lists for the satellite leagues starting on Monday, March 20th.

STATS is inquiring about some of the satellite leagues tonight, so I assume they are loading them. Look for them soon.

Your point doesn't make sense as all the people who were in the Satellite have access to the lists on the Mock Draft site. By definition all the people in the league will be people who took part in that draft...

but can people who were not in that satellite league see your roster? I know after the season starts, you can see the all the rosters and can pretty much deduce approximate rounds players were selected. You can surely see any strategies and sleepers. I'm not sure what can can seen ahead of time in satellite given this is the first year they have existed.

If this is true why do the rules say otherwise? http://www.fantasybaseballchampionship. ... es2006.asp

The first FAAB period will be held on Sunday, April 2nd. Also, how do we post our FAAB bids? I am going to be out of the country from 3/21 to 3/31 and might want to send in a FAAB bid before I leave.

Realize that the entire satellite league concept came after the rules were published. And that these rules were put in place when only a main event existed. I was in a Magazine League that actually drafted in January. All the Satellite Leagues are drafted at least 10 days before the main event. It isn't too unrealistic for these leagues to have a slightly earlier first FAAB period.

There are several rules that probably need to be looked at based on Satellite Leagues and "phone drfating" but Greg and Tom seem to make wise and reasonable decisions when the semi-unexpected occurs.

That's fine but realize that not everyone checks these message boards with regularity. It would be nice to have the info delivered a little better. Not a complaint as much as a suggestion. If I wouldn't have checked the message board I wouldn't have seen that there is a FAAB for Week 0.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a few more emails regarding major items/announcements.
