NFBC Post-Season Contest: 286 Teams

I'm having that issue too, not able to view my teams unless I do what KJ suggested.

Also, weird own % stats... Matt Carpenter and Lorenzo Cain 0% owned, but I know I own them both on at least 2 teams.

Okay, you should be able to view teams now. Hopefully we have that bug fixed. We will look at % Owned and get that fixed. Thanks for your patience all.

Owned % should be correct now. Check it again. Sorry for the delay all, but hopefully we have this corrected now. Enjoy the AL Wild Card Game.

[marknym]

Yep, looks fixed to me. Thanks Greg and Tom.

Feedback for you to add something that would be a cherry on top. Have it show active players maybe in the first round for teams in standings... Meaning if someone took 3 Yankees, after the game looking at standings you could see someone have a 13 by name to show how many active players they have left to get stats in the first round.

[Edwards Kings]

Looks like 20 of us picked both Keuchel and Tanaka as our Houston and Yankee representatives. How many us used the same profile for the Cubs/Pirates game?

That's a good suggestion. In the NFFC Post-Season Contest we have Minutes Remaining next to each team so that folks can see how many players are still active for each team. This would be a good addition here as well for this elimination round especially but the other rounds as well.

[KJ Duke]

Standings list 309 teams.

[Greg Ambrosius]

You can now click on other teams from the leaderboard to view round 1 rosters for any team. Enjoy all and good luck.

Greg,

I know The bonus points can't really be done in live scoring next round, but is there a way that during the night after stats have been finalized to have the bonus points allotted to have a better understanding of where we are each night rather than after an entire series?

Btw- already loving the format. Really fun on top of the already fun playoffs. Thanks for running this.

Damn Dusty...get out of my head. I just looked at your team (or at least one of your teams) and while I expect similarities between most of the teams since the player pool is so limited, we have 11 players in common. We will both do very well...or....

[Edwards Kings]

Standings list 309 teams.

It looks like 19 of those teams have "0" points after the WC round. I clicked on a half-dozen and they do not appear to have any players assigned. They appear to be phantom teams that perhaps should be removed.

[Tom Kessenich]

Those are STATS test teams and they will be removed. Sorry for any confusion.

[marknym]

A suggestion for future versions of this contest: the ability to switch between teams on the fly in live scoring for those owners with multiple entries - just like in the NFBC regular season contests.

I wonder in the future if it would be better to not include the WildCard games and just start the contest with the Division Series. Would allow this to build more momentum from the end of the regular season, allow us to see pitching match-ups and assesse finalized post-season rosters. Not saying I dislike having the WC part of this, it's just an idea I had to minimize guesswork and build more momentum between the end of the regular season and the start of this contest. Fire away.

Dumb idea.
Cut and paste that

I wish we had two extra days to sell this contest too and your suggestion would allow it. But trying to pick the two Wild Card winners does seem to be a fun part of the contest. I mean, there are so many different ways to go by including those two Wild Card games. But sure, it's something to consider. Still, those damn Wild Card games are so unpredictable and so much fun that not including them would see like you're losing a big part of the playoff fun.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Just a heads up that you can now set your Round 2 lineups, but remember to update them after today's games. We opened the rosters today to give everyone a little start in setting these lineups. But finalize them after the four AL and NL League Championship Series teams are finalized.

Just a reminder that here is what is needed for Round 2:

3. Roster Requirements

Owners can create a roster with a maximum of 16 players for all rounds. The following are the roster requirements for each round:
Round 1: Wild Card and Divisional Games

Minimum of one player from each team
Maximum of three players from one team

Round 2: League Championship Series

Minimum of one player from each team
Maximum of six players from one team

Round 3: World Series

Eight players from each team

Good luck mixing and matching the right players on the right teams in Round 2.

[Greg Ambrosius]

The points are really piling up now in the ALCS and NLCS, but we still have a close race. Appropriately, BK Mets lead the overall race through the Mets' sweep of the Cubs with Alan Greenberg loving every moment of it. We have a long ways to go, but let's put up the current standings now.

I'll post soon when I know the date when the player pool will be open for Round 3. Remember, for the World Series you need 8 players from each team. Should be fun.

[Greg Ambrosius]

The debut of this contest has gone well, but I'm still looking for feedback on any rules tweaks or site tweaks you'd like to see in the future. We think this post-season contest has great potential, but we're looking for your feedback.

Was the breakdown of Round 1 and Round 2 how you liked it? Round 1 had a minimum of 1 player on each team and a max of 3 from each team. Round 2 had a max of 6 players from one team and a minimum of 1 per team. Should Round 2 be looked at with a different combination?

Interesting to hear back with any feedback from you, the players. Hope it's added to your post-season excitement and good luck the rest of the way. Thanks.

[BK METS]

Obviously, I think its great ... One tweak for me would be, the ability to scroll down to all of the player % owned of each position, unless I am missing it somewhere.

[Greg Ambrosius]

The NFBC Post-Season Contest is now open for Round 3 Set Lineups. Obviously one of the AL teams will be eliminated soon and those players will leave the pool, but we thought we'd open it up early so that you can start planning ahead. You need to pick 8 Mets for the World Series. Hopefully you had at least 3 of them from the beginning because now their scores will be worth 3 times. Good luck all and enjoy.

Remember: Round 3 consists of 8 players from each team for a total of 16 roster spots. Enjoy all.

I think the post season contest is great. Enjoying it very much. I never could watch most of the post season games before. One minor point. Every round you try to pick who the winning teams will be. In this last round you have to pick 8 players per team. Why not 10 and six. Just a thought. Go Mets.

That is an excellent idea. Up to 10, min 6
