FAAB

I still have concerns about this. When you guys re-ran the FAAB why was I not awarded the proper player. I had to call Greg to get this corrected. If not for me noticing this it would not have been fixed, We're there more people like me who had this issue or was I the only one. Frankly I don't feel as if I can trust the system yet as I never got the FA I deserved just be running the FAs. Greg, do you know why I was not awarded the player that I should have and has this issue been solved. Kyle Borth

Kyle, I honestly don't know what happened in your situation as you worked through Tom and he worked with John's team. I just asked Tom and he didn't know what eventually was the problem either but you and two others had FAABs rechecked and I believe corrected. We double-checked every FAAB bid on Monday night, including yours, and all have been run properly. I don't know what happened again in your situation but I'll try to find out when there is a lull in the action.

Three other owners thought that FAAB ran wrong and instead it was a dollar amount the owners thought they had on those players that the system showed was not true. The dollars bid for those players were lower than the owners thought and the system was correct.

The FAAB this Sunday obviously needs to run correctly all the way around and in a quicker fashion. We had it set up right the second time around and results were available less than a half hour afterwards. We also need to make sure EVERY bid is awarded correctly the first time and not through double-checking. Again, I'll try to get an answer but I'm confident our second FAAB run on Monday has all of the right players going to the right teams.

Now let's do it right in Week 2.

I copied screen shots that show my dollar amounts. It was not a user error. I bid 8 dollars for E. Renteria and he went for 1 dollar and I still had the guy I was dropping for him. So no, I don't think it ran correctly. I also don't care for the hints that this may be user error. If you'd like I can re-send the screen shots to you. Please let me know if you find the issue. I don't want to be sharp with you, I think you guys did as good of a gob as you could to deal with the FAAB disaster. I just want to feel confident that this system is working, and right now I don't have that. Thanks, Kyle

Kyle, did you 'save' the lists on your screenshots?

I know I had to make sure to go through and re-examine mine to make sure I had clicked the 'save' button on each bid tower.

In all of my other lges I can see all of my bids to confirm how/why I won or lost a player.

Not so in the NFBC, every bid disappears once processed.

That really should change. It would eliminate a lot of questions/skepticism.

You were exactly right. We found a tied bid later that was updated on Monday as well and I know Brady had another bid we corrected. No, it was on us after we had roster changes that did this.

It's our fault and I'll ask exactly what it was. But no, it was not user error at all. It was us.

up until this year we were able to see what player was dropped in favor of the Free agent pickup,want to see that again

I am trying to get all of the winning FAAB bids from Week 1, cuts, etc. I'm not sure why we don't have this yet, but we need that on Waiver History as well.

And KJ is right, we should be able to save those past bids. I know we have them all saved on the back-end, so if we can save them for you the previous week we will. I have a long list to get finished this week, so keep the suggestions coming.

i also had an issue but am not going to pursue it. it was my own fault for not catching it earlier.

i was dropping ian snell at the start of free agency and then decided to pull that bid, so i deleted it. for some reason when the f.a. was rerun(or however it went)that original f.a. was executed and snell was dropped when i didn't want it to.

i was busy and didn't catch it til last night and he was already pitching. let me be clear, i am not looking for anything. but it may of happened to others and they still may be unaware of it.

tom and greg have always treated everyone fair. i had huge issues with my c.c. being processed and they went out of their way to make it right. i will be a customer of theirs til their gone. i hope this thing doesn't go too corporate because these two drive this machine.

anyways, play ball. p.s. as a huge brewer fan it is killing me that i got that bum c. zambrano on some of my teams blowing my pitching up.

Week by week live scoring. With the current weeks stats totaled.

Live standings with the 10 categories from all teams.

This is just an observation. Probably nobody started a disabled pitcher this week to test, but it looks like all pitchers without the dl insignia are frozen, both starters and bench pitchers. This will be a problem if a Manager wants to move a benched pitcher to replace a dl'ed starter.

DOUGHBOYS · Post by **DOUGHBOYS** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 11:58 am

Just an addendum and to save future squawking...

When a pitcher is dl'ed, we get one chance to remove him from the starting position to the bench and replace him with a benched pitcher. We can't play with our rosters if we have a mind change.....At least that is the way it was in the past.

Carry on...
