Ubaldo dropped??

[Glenneration X]

A little relevant history involving another sport.....



Last year, a very well known fantasy player accidentally dropped Aaron Rodgers while playing in another very large, very prominent national football contest.

Around the same time of that drop, someone else accidentally dropped Chris Johnson in the NFFC.



As the top QB & RB in fantasy football last year, it was obvious to anyone who knows the sport that neither drop should have or was meant to be made.



The other contest followed their precedent and did not return Rodgers to the team that cut him.

The NFFC followed their precedent and returned Chris Johnson when notified of the mistake.

Both contests did what they have always done.



Three questions....



-Which was the fairer decision to the teams that made these honest mistakes?



-Which was the decision that most protected the integrity of the respective leagues and least skewed the final results & standings?



-Which decision made sure what was meant to be done & what was supposed to be done, actually was done?



To me, the answers are obvious. I don't blame the other contest for following their precedent. I just prefer the way situations like this are handled here and the personal service that is provided in making sure the decisions made are the right ones. Even when I disagree with a decision (the original Sizemore ruling comes to mind), I appreciate the time and thought process both Vince McMahon, oops I mean Greg , and Tom invest in making sure their rulings are fair and equitable.



They handled it the way I hope I would have if it were up to me.

Nice job, guys. I think the correct decision was made. I doubt someone would ever drop a stud player so they can have a few extra hours to decide who to drop.



Greg--I hope your child is doing better. I applaud the decision. But come on, what if this was a marginal player? Absolutely this guy should not lose this player but everyone is gong overboard to suck up to the NFBC. They're off doing doing Football, it's where they make their money. Time to pay attention to BASEBALL!!!! Please respond to the requests made in multiple threads.



Greg, no disrespect to your situation, I know your a class act, just want everyone to play on an even playing field field. I'd be happy to talk to you about it. I invested about 5 grand and feel you shouldn't be the only one responding to the message boards or the concerns of the field.



Take Care. [/QUOTE]Joe, once again I have no clue what you are talking about with this post. Yeah, give me a call. I'm at 715-254-5553 and here day and night. I'd LOVE to talk with you.



I understand you don't want us to correct human errors. Got it. We'll talk about it. And no, we haven't abandoned baseball for football. Maybe the programmers are doing other projects, but Tom and I are here all the day, managing this contest like we always have. Thanks for not sucking up but going the killer route instead once again.



Pay attention to baseball? We worked with our customer from the minute we saw the cuts on Sunday night and got this resolved. Where did we miss a step here?? Forget it, call me instead.

Glenn You are correct Glenn and Tom and I were just talking about this yesterday. In the NFFC, the wrong Adrian Peterson was cut from a team once and so was the wrong Steve Smith. We corrected both cuts because we knew what happened. Trust me, this year in the NFBC we get roster errors all the time that we help folks with on Mondays -- not all are cuts. They just aren't publicized on the boards every minute.



The back-end is technical and not everyone in this contest is computer savvy. We understand that and help others. As Damien said, he had his wife help him while he was out of town and a human error happened. Should we punish him and change the dynamics of that league even though we know he would never cut the best pitcher in baseball? If folks want a contest like that, we can provide it, but I don't think it makes the contest better. Maybe our new Joe does, but I don't.



Good post.

Pay attention to baseball? We worked with our customer from the minute we saw the cuts on Sunday night and got this resolved. Where did we miss a step here?? Forget it, call me instead. [/QUOTE]First - I stated "I applauded the decision."



Second - I said "This guy should absolutely not lose this player"



Where would you get that I don't think you should correct human errors? I don't get it.



Third - There is a frustration level with the lack of updates and the communication of what is being done. I picked the wrong forum for this.



Fourth - In previous posts you stated some of you were juggling football duties. I didn't sign up for football, so the the frustration grows with no upgrades that we all thought would be coming.



fifth - The point I was trying to make is that the individual could have just as easily dropped a middle of the road player by accident not the number one pitcher. What would we do then? I shouldn't have commented on this as I was not in that league.



Sorry if I upset you, that was not my intent.

[Tom Kessenich]

I'm not sure where the lack of communication occurred in this matter. Jimenez was dropped by mistake on Sunday night. We saw the mistake and contacted the owner and on Monday he let us know what happened and on Tuesday morning the situation was resolved. We then posted the resolution here in this thread as soon as the situation had been resolved. I'm not sure how much more quickly we could have acted and responded to this situation.

Thanks to Greg for addressing, and hope is well with everyone's kids. At the end of the day, none of this matters and kids mean everything



Spyhunter Well stated Spy.
