Wow JJ has left us.  RIP JJ. Who is going to take Miami D in the 1st round in memory of JJ?

I am still holding out hope that wasn't his obit but his pops and he is taking time off.  Sadly that hope is quickly fading.

We should line up someone to take his team...

Pease guys a lot of others have suddenly left the board and I don't think they're dead.

Yapper?  others?

They may just find another board they like more.

Post by: wmljohn on August 03, 2018, 05:36:59 pm
No. JJ has been with us through a number of boards. Thick and thin. He wouldn’t just up and leave like that. Hell he battled it out with that psycho Tampa Bay Fan many moons ago.

I noticed that a lot of JJ's posts were being ignored. I'd read them but very few would ever respond to him. This could be partly the reason he's gone. Also reading that obit it seems there may have been alzheimers involved and although JJ's posts were strange, JJ was strange but not Alzheimers strange. The obit said this older guy was 'the life of the party'. I can see that being JJ. But would he talk and act like our JJ? Hard to say but I'm leaning doubtful. This all leads me to believe the younger Jim Jr is our JJ. It just fits. So I'm thinking JJ's still around, just not here. Could be wrong. Dave, is there a way to see if someone is ghosting here? Reading or viewing but not posting? If so, might want to see if any of them have been JJ....

I wish I could find one of the old checks he sent to pay for the league.  I don't think some ever got deposited.  I will have to check in my junk drawer in the way back.  JJ always paid old school check by mail.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 07, 2018, 08:12:21 am
hmmm..  Just paid for the year.  Poking around I found this and I am going to activate it.

"TRADING FUTURE DRAFT PICKS
Commissioners now have the option to allow team owners to trade future draft picks up to three years
in advance. For Dynasty and Keeper Leagues, this can add a new strategic element that makes things
awfully interesting at the trade deadline - do you want to build a squad for the future or win now?
Commissioners can go to the Transaction Settings Commissioner Tool to
activate this new option."
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on August 07, 2018, 08:47:50 am
Maybe allow trades later in the season also?  Later than the trade deadline the NFL imposes.  It is what makes the trade deadline more interesting in baseball than the NFL.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 07, 2018, 09:29:09 am
The league is paid for.  $160/15=$10.67 each.  Of course the champ is the only one who doesn't have to pay (Downward Legion).  You can pay via paypal again and JJ can send his obligatory check in the mail so I can put it in my bag for a couple years before I cash it.

I deleted the Flex position for the draft so we don't have the auto drafter over-drafting positions.  I will put it back on the roster after the draft.  The draft is the same day same time as last year.  Sunday Night before Labor Day, September 2, at 8:00 pm Eastern.  As always I suggest you make sure the draft room is working from the computer you plan on drafting from before this date and time.

I will get the draft order set up sometime this week hopefully.  I will get the schedules set sometime this month.

I reset the keepers deadline to 08/26/18.  Don't forget to do this.

If you are not playing I need to know ASAP so we can find replacements.

I am interested.  How late should we make the deadline?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 07, 2018, 09:41:08 am
Right now it is 11/14.  That is 10 weeks into our 14 week regular season.  We can't have it moved too much past that or we would have roster dumps that could affect the playoffs.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on August 08, 2018, 04:42:50 am
I think 11/14 sounds fine.  I thought in years past we tied it to the NFL trade deadline which was around the beginning of October.

The only problem with trading future picks is if someone were to trade their future picks away and then leave, whomever picks up that team would be in a hole starting out.

The only problem with trading future picks is if someone were to trade their future picks away and then leave, whomever picks up that team would be in a hole starting out.

That is why all the trades have to be approved to avoid lopsided deals.  We have always had future picks included with trades.  That is nothing new.  Being able to have the CBS site track them and include them in offers for players is.  Now when someone puts players on the block you can include the picks in when you make the trade offers for those players.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on August 09, 2018, 05:07:03 am
When do we set our keepers?  I goofed it last time and I want to be sure I am good this time.  Can we set them now and edit them before the deadline?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 09, 2018, 10:52:13 am
Yes you can.  Just go to the site and check off the three you want to keep.  Don't forget to set your lineup just like you would do every week or they will not be saved.  You can change them anytime you like.  Just don't forget to set the lineup.  You can make changes until the timer expires on the home page for keepers to be set.

Post by: Grizzlybear34 on August 13, 2018, 07:00:25 am
Just set my keepers, what a cr@p roster I have, lol!  I have a warning on my page for having too many reserve players and receivers because it took my IR and made them reserves.  Do I need to to release anyone, or don't worry about it?

Sorry, what is the amount owed again?!
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 13, 2018, 07:29:29 am
Don't worry about those warnings for now.  Just make sure you set your keepers.

There are currently 4 teams available for new owners.  If anyone knows anyone please let them know their are teams available.  I made keeper picks for these four teams just in case we do not find new owners before that deadline hits.

JJ - Out
Rajiv - Out
Duckies - Out
Oichita tigers - Out

Devin has a friend that is interested. He doesn't have an account on the forums, but I can send him the link if he is approved for a team.

Approved.  Send me the email address and name and I can add them as the team owner and they can log in to claim it.

Chris Fritts is the only one who didn't set his keepers.  He is coming to my office in a few so I can add his three back to his team.

He said he was going to take me to lunch for his fee.  I will make sure to order an appetizer and mixed cocktail.  He will be paying more than the regular $11.00 with these DC prices.  :)

I know.  We've been doing this a long time!  I don't know too many "keeper" leagues that have been doing it this long.

LOL!  ISF you remember this team:

Iowa

QB: Plummer, Jake
QB: Griese, Brian
RB: Jackson, Steven
RB: Foster, Deshaun
RB: Bennett, Michael
WR: Holt, Torry
WR: Mason, Derrick
WR: Moss, Santana
WR:
TE: Gates, Antonio
TE: Johnson, Teyo
K: Graham, Shayne
K: Brien, Doug
D/ST: New Orleans Saints

I still have all the teams from that year saved in a word document on my cloud.  :)

wmlj, Carter has to work until 8 pm tonight and won't be able to draft. He said Devin could draft for him if that is ok, otherwise he needs to be on autodraft.

Also, he doesn't have paypal, so I am going to send you his fee, he'll just have to get me back.

Plus they had Alex Smith rated as the highest player in the draft.  If that is what they base their scoring on well they can for F themselves.

Also they still had a player gone for the year rated near the top.  They really stay on top of their expert analysis...

Post by: wmljohn on September 04, 2018, 06:00:17 am
If you notice almost every year the teams on Auto Draft always have the highest draft ratings.

Rosters warnings.  Yes everyone needs to go set their lineups.  I added the Flex position back in.  Remember if you move a Flex Player to the Bench you need to set their position back to the original position.  You can not have flex on the bench.

So here is the story.  I was turning out the kitchen lights and we have mail slots above the lights since we have two adult children living at home my wife separates the mail and puts them in the slots for everyone.  Right before I cut off the kitchen lights I see an envelope sticking out of the top of my mail from J. LINDBERGH.  JJ always put his name in caps on his mail.  He always pays for the Fantasy Football League with a personal check through snail mail.  I have never met this mother fucker but I can't remember a time when I was more excited to see a letter from someone in my life.  I had written his ass off as dead, as had most people on this board.

You are not going to believe what this dumb fucker has done to himself.

Read the attached letter...  Only jj could be this pigheaded.

ISF - I need to offer your son the option of managing the team this year and then taking ownership of one of the two unclaimed teams for next year or taking over one of the two unclaimed teams this year.  The letter is postmarked Aug 30 so he technically paid for the league before the draft.  He did draft kind of draft the team. 

Let me know what he wants to do.

Yes.  Carter was assigned JJ's team.  He can manage that team this year and have his choice of the Duckies or Gamanu for next year or he can just take over one of those two teams right now and I will manage jj's roster this year and he can have full control of one of the other teams.

That's pretty weak. I wish you had just given him another team from the start.

OK.  He can manage them this year.  I gotta give jj back his team next year though.  He can have his choice of the duckies or gamanu at the end of the year.

Hindsight is 20/20.  I wish I would have assigned him a different team too now.  We all thought JJ was dead and gone.

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on September 17, 2018, 04:48:58 am
Mahomes looks extremely poised like he has run that offense for years.  He scrambles looking to pass.  I know Watson received all the praise, but he makes a lot of his yardage throwing the ball up for his receiver, namely Hopkins, to come down with.

WML - Just confirming, a player listed as questionable as late as Friday can be placed on injured reserve - max of two players on IR.  Or is it Saturday?

It doesn't specifically say on which day and yes max 2.

I will edit it and say if they are questionable on Friday and get changed after that then it is OK.  I know I am busy on Saturday and up to game time on Sunday and don't check injury status every hour.  That and it also affects the Thursday night line up deadline.  How can you activate a player if you already used that position during the Thursday night game.  Might cause some problems.

The new rule reads:  "Players must be listed as questionable or worse to be on the IR.  If they are upgraded from questionable after Friday they can remain on your IR until the next week."

Several teams are not meeting the position requirements of the league. For instance you cannot drop your backup QB for a RB and have 4 RB and 1 QB.  Same with TE you must have 2 of them and not 1 with 5 WR.  Please review your rosters and if you have any of these scenerio’s your last move that made your team illegal should be reversed before game time Thursday.  I know this is problay an oversight but you will not score any points until this is resolved.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on November 28, 2018, 11:32:09 am
Good observation Chiman.  I wonder if there is a setting we can use in the commissioner section to enforce this.  It doesn't penalize right now because they are meeting the player totals requirement.  There should is a minimum setting so they are meeting that.  I don't think there is a maximum number of players at a position.  I will have to check on that.  We seem to have this problem every year.

Hmmm. Interesting delima this puts us in.

First we need to assign him a team. Then we need to figure out how to do it. Obviously they have to be fair trades. Especially if it’s one of the three best players currently on the team. We might have to put every trade to a league vote.

Thanks Grizz,  I almost coached myself out of the game. NE should have been a no brainer at home
but Seattle did okay. I knew Chubb would struggle against the Ravens and I didn’t get him out of there and picking up 2 Packers was a total bust on my part. IMO a big key was Jones almost offsetting Ryan for the most part.
You need Some luck to win this thing and I really had that going for me the last 12weeks.
Very lucky to start the year 1-5 and go 10-1 down the stretch with several close games.

Legion had a great year and Week 17 unfortunately kept his best player(Kamara)on the bench.

Cutting the teams is easier said than done.  We have played a balanced schedule every year for the last 20 or so years we have done this league.  We have four divisions of 4 teams. You play each team in your division twice Away and home.  Then you play two of the other three each year on a rotating basis.  One Year hosting and one year visiting.  It is all balanced and I have all the schedules that date back to 1999.  Every 6 years is a full cycle,

That is what the poll was about.  Shutting down the league.  A new league could be set up in it's place but it wouldn't be this one.  This league has special scoring that we have dialed in over the years and all kinds of special things that set it apart.  Keepers for one thing.  Lots of free sites don't allow for that.  Trading of future draft picks. 

That was the crux behind the poll.

Bill,  Hope you stay with us even if it is just an owner as you have been the keeper of the league for many years. I think I have commish privileges from a few years back. Didn’t do much with it because you took care of everything. We need at least 10 solid teams but prefer 16 as it will be much easier to schedule.

The league is showing a cost of $180 right now. If we have 16 Teams that would be $12 per owner with the Champ getting a free play. If we have 12 teams looking at $16.36 per team.

Going to send 1 more email from CBS to the previous owners that anyone wishing to play needs to check in by Thursday 4pm cst

Moved the keeper date to 8/28. We could push that a day or 2 if needed. Draft would stay on Sunday evening(9/1) of Labor Day Weekend. Tentative 6pm cst start time.

Bill you may need to give me some pointers on schedule etc. I did eliminate the flex position for now until we get the draft completed and then we will bring it back.

I believe you also have to adjust the roster positions when you disable the flex position for the draft.  You need to go back to last year in this thread and find out what I had to do.  I think I posted it.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 21, 2019, 07:04:07 am
I found the post...

Quote
I deleted the Flex position for the draft so we don't have the auto drafter over-drafting positions.  I will put it back on the roster after the draft.  The draft is the same day same time as last year.  Sunday Night before Labor Day, September 2, at 8:00 pm Eastern.  As always I suggest you make sure the draft room is working from the computer you plan on drafting from before this date and time.

I will get the draft order set up sometime this week hopefully.  I will get the schedules set sometime this month.

I reset the keepers deadline to 08/26/18.  Don't forget to do this.

Are you planning on moving the draft time up an hour this year?

I will also go check the roster settings to make sure there was nothing else that needed to be done.  I think I set specific number for positions to make the draft work right then reset them after the draft.

Okay if you use PayPal and pay through a Bank account there is no fees taken out when you send your payment sending it to a friend. If you send it through a Credit Card there will be a 2.9% fee along with a 30 cent fee. Add 60 cents if you use your credit card

I just checked.  It was an option set last year to be able to trade current year picks and up to three years out.  So if there were any trades last year that involved picks the system would take care of it.

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on September 02, 2019, 07:42:42 am
It is in the constitution of the league.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on September 02, 2019, 07:58:58 am
CONSTITUTION
Players must be listed as questionable or worse to be on the IR.

Only two players are allowed to be on IR at one time.

Only players in the playoffs are allowed to add and drop players during the playoffs. Once you are eliminated from playoff contention your roster is locked for the offseason.

Rosters must consist of:
QB - 2
RB - 3
WR - 4
TE - 2
K - 2
D/ST - 2
At all times or it will be considered and Illegal roster.

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on September 02, 2019, 08:12:08 am
Add/drop doesn't have a disable feature.  You look for the player you want to claim on and click the + to add him to your waiver claims.  When Waivers are run you get him or someone above you claimed him.  You can only add outright FA's.  They only become outright FA if they are not claimed during the waiver period for that week.  Right now all available players are on waivers.

I did not need a back up kicker I only needed a back up QB.

After the draft I went to pick him up but couldn't.  Then you went in with your commish powers and put him on your team.

Douche canoe thing to do!

I had to pick a back up QB today off the waiver wire when there was only one starter left even though I stated my pick on the message board during the draft.  There is even a record of it in draft results.

I mean it isn't as if a back up QB is going to make or break my season but I am right on this and you are wrong and I will NEVER let you live it down.

All that over an honest mistake.  I didn't see what you posted in the draft room because I was busy trying to figure out whey it wouldn't let people make their last pick.  I didn't do it to be a dick and I don't think I have ever been anything but fair as a commissioner in this league with everyone. Even not hounding people to pay and just eating it.  I have never used a commissioner privilege to get any advantage ever.

Maybe they have a really good defense and a really sucky defense and are past their bye? I mean, if I had the Patriots defense, I would start them every week they aren’t on a bye. I’m stuck with Det and Minn so they are about the same so I play the matchup with them.

Even if that is the case, the rules are such that each roster MUST have:

2 QB
3 RB
4 WR
2 TE
2 K
2 DEF

15 total players, at those specific positions, or your roster is illegal...unless something has changed that I am not aware of...

If nothing else, the 2019 Hog Butchers will go into the record books with the 2nd best winning % in league history. The 2010 Hog Butchers own the top season.

Sadly, that team went 13-1, decimating opponents by a league-record 48 points per game and then promptly lost in the playoffs.
This team is only outscoring opponents at a 37 point per game clip.

Heck, we're the #1 seed...and underdogs in the first round.

Maybe we can hold them to 61 again...

Pekin Dragons are 0 - 1 vs. Hog Butchers this season.

Hog Butchers have now won the last three meetings with Pekin Dragons.

If Pekin Dragons played Hog Butchers every week, they would be 8 - 6 this season.

Pekin Dragons would be 12 - 2 if they played the same schedule as Hog Butchers.

Hog Butchers would be 9 - 5 if they played the same schedule as Pekin Dragons.

Due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty of a season even starting much less completing the BBFFL is canceled for this season.  I would hate to pay for it and then games get canceled and all the problems associated with players sitting out or testing positive and not being able to play.

I voted no but will pay and play if we had 16 owners but we couldn't get 16 players last year and it isn't fair to Bill.

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 23, 2020, 11:05:55 am
I do believe with the drastic changes that are being proposed that a new league should be started.  We have had divisions and balanced schedules and records for over 20 years.  If you reduce the number of teams.  You reduce the number of games.  You reduce the number of divisions.  You reduce the number of teams in playoffs.  None of the history of the league aligns with anything anymore so it should just be a new league with new rules, teams, games, playoffs and everything else.

There was a ton of crap that went on behind the scenes for balance that no one knows of.  Except maybe Chiman because I think I shared all my files with him last year that dates back to the late 90's that has been tracking the balanced schedule since the inception of the league.

None of this will continue to work with changes being proposed.

Post by: Dave23 on August 23, 2020, 12:04:52 pm
We have reduced teams at least twice in the fantasy baseball league, and make tweaks to the rules every offseason.

There’s no reason to start over from scratch. I’d hate to lose all the league’s history. Just change what needs to be changed and keep it going...
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on August 23, 2020, 12:31:32 pm
The Baseball league and the Football league were set up way differently.  In the Baseball league it was really just a compilation to stats.  There was no schedule to keep of teams playing other teams.  There were no playoffs in the Baseball league to consider.  There was no balanced schedule in the Baseball league to consider. 

The two leagues were drastically different.  How do you propose a balanced schedule with a different number of teams in each division?  Right now each division plays each team in their division twice.  Then they play a each team in two of the other divisions once (one year road team one year home team).  Those division schedules rotate every year so you play the same number of games against players in other divisions the same number of times over the years.  This was done to avoid playing the same teams in different divisions every year for balance.  Some divisions are historically stronger than others.  That brings the total of games played to exactly 14 leaving three weeks of reals season to play three rounds of playoffs.  There has always been complaints about playing the last week of the season but this is the reason why.

Like I said.  There is a ton of things to balance play in the league that go into this league that the players don't even see.  It's all done in the background.

I do understand the work you have done with regard to scheduling. It has served us well for years.

The sad truth is we can’t maintain a 16 team league any longer. Hell, we probably don’t have 16 regular posters on the Bears board anymore. It sucks, but that’s reality.

Post by: Pekin on August 24, 2020, 12:51:40 am
We could just go to a free league on yahoo or something.  No one has to pay anything.

We can do it just for this season and if everyone likes it we could just use it from then on if we can't get 16 owners.

I am not sure if we can name keepers in a new league on Yahoo but I would think we probably could on some free fantasy sites. 

CBS has always seemed pretty expensive to me for what we got.  The free sites do pretty much the same thing.

Agree with Dave. I have relatives and friends that pay alot more than $10-12 to play and have closer to 8-10 people in their league.

We can do 2 4-6 team divisions.
At 8 teams, we're each paying around $20.
At 12 we're around $15.



Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on August 24, 2020, 06:17:52 am
With 2 6-team divisions, you play each team in your division twice and 4 games against other division. There will be 2 teams you don't play at all.

If we keep the league at CBS, set your keepers there as usual.

If we move to Yahoo, I’ll have to figure that out once we get all the teams registered there.

The only thing I think we can’t do automatically at Yahoo is dictate what positions specifically need to be for your bench players. Everyone will have to police that thru the draft and season if we end up there.

I think some of our problem is failure to adapt to current media. When we started we were on Trib forums. We have moved twice since then, meanwhile social has gone to Facebook and Twitter. If we don't want to fade, I feel we need to move to stay relevant.

Here's where we are as of right now...

We have 10 teams at Yahoo. I have keepers for 7 of them:

Beej - CJ
BBT (DDD) - Boris
Downward Legion - Devin
Gerbschmidt - VJ
Hog Butchers - ISF
Pekin Dragons - Pekin
TOS - Dave

The other 3 teams are:

John's Team - Chiman
Brendan's Team - Brendan
Devin's Team - DevinG

Additionally, we have 1 team that selected keepers at CBS but never registered at Yahoo:

Packer Smackers - navigator

These CBS teams are unclaimed, and available to our new owners (Brendan, DevinG):

Bastards
Bills Bombers
Gravedigger
Lavender Flamingos
RomoWittenHisPants
Silvertip
STAN - (Brendan)

Once I get 3 keepers for all 10 teams at Yahoo, I can populate the keepers and schedule the draft...haven't decided if I will just do a random draft order, or use last year's final standings...

I just realized this will be a train wreck for owners who can’t make the draft...there is no way to dictate our league rules re: position limits.

At CBS, we always had 15 man rosters, and they had to be 2 QB, 3 RB, 4 WR, 2 TE, 2 K, and 2 DEF. I don’t think there is a way to set up Yahoo to require this.

Unless...one sec...let me try something...
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on September 06, 2020, 01:50:43 pm
I’m not sure if how I have it set right now would work or not, so I think the easiest thing to do is drop that requirement and let the benches be whatever each team owners wants theirs to be.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 06, 2020, 02:51:42 pm
Yeah, let's roll with that.  Now that we have 10 teams instead of 16 those rules aren't as important.

With 16 teams and only 32 starting QB's we had to have the limits.  If someone kept 3 QB's someone else did not even have a back up starter.

It will be fine.  Just make sure everyone knows who drafts in person.  Because the auto drafters are going to be taking QB's and RB's for several rounds if they did not adjust their rankings.

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on September 30, 2020, 01:06:26 pm
I'm assuming it will simply be treated as a bye week, unless they play Monday or Tuesday...then they will likely count for this weekend.

We won't know for sure until an official game date is announced.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on September 30, 2020, 01:40:34 pm
But that is what I am saying.  If they announce the game will be played on Tuesday and your #1 QB or RB is on one of those teams do you start them and risk the game getting canceled on Monday night with a positive test on Monday?  Or even Tuesday morning?

For instance if you have Derrick Henry and Big Ben as you QB and RB?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on September 30, 2020, 01:46:09 pm
Now I am not in the league nor do I know if it is possible with Yahoo to change rosters and scores after the games but (putting on my commissioner's hat) this is what I would do....

Anyone who wants to start a player on either of those two teams MUST name a bench player in their stead incase the game gets canceled last minute.  Then you can move those players from the Bench to the starting lineup after the games have been played.

I know you could at CBS but I don't know how flexible Yahoo is with rosters and scoring to allow something like that.

Pats - Chiefs game postponed.  I bet this one gets kicked to later in the season as well.

That is going to be a lot of players missing this weekend.

I’ll be keeping

Isn’t the site set up to where you can declare your keepers there?

If we are simply stating them both here and there, then cool…
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on August 18, 2021, 11:42:03 am
It is.  Set your keepers on the site the deadline was moved back.  If you do it here you are just making more work for the commissioner if he can even do it.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: waterbuffalo on August 18, 2021, 12:28:11 pm
If you mean yahoo the teams have been wiped on the app which several of the teams I talk to exclusively use, that why I'm posting them here. I also mainly use the app but seeing as my team isn't wiped on the website I can go submit my keepers there to help out.

Edit: I'll go tell the other teams to use the site as well.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on August 18, 2021, 01:17:08 pm
Also, we normally do our draft labor day weekend on Sunday. The Devins have taken off work that evening to be available. Can we set draft to that day?

This time he is actually back online.  I think he doubled down on his bet.  I have gotten emails and he has registered here so he is back to using the interweb.

Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2021, 06:24:20 pm
The worse part is you don't know who everyone's keepers were.  So not sure how this can be fixed since half the league isn't online right now.  Or we could just pick our own players in the first three picks.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on September 05, 2021, 06:24:52 pm
This isn't CBS. I can't end, stop or edit the draft. We may have to just roll and do a hand draft and edit rosters later.

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2021, 06:29:33 pm
It won't work because the auto drafters won't.  Also I don't even remember who my three were.  I marked them and forgot them other then Mahomes.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on September 05, 2021, 06:32:21 pm
We will have to do a hand draft and edit rosters after.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2021, 06:43:30 pm
My keepers are Patrick Mahomes, Cooper Kupp and Robby Anderson.  I am not sure if they are marked anymore.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2021, 06:45:45 pm
So are we going to be able to fix this and still draft today?  If not you will need to change the draft day from next Sunday to before the first game.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 05, 2021, 06:47:16 pm
Never mind they are marked.  I guess it was Cole Beasley instead of Kupp.  So hopefully we can get this figured out and still draft today. 
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018

Is John (Chiman) playing? Do we need to remove his team?

Or just have him auto draft a team to keep us at an even number?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018

Let it autodraft and we can find an owner if he isn't playing.

No idea…

With the snake, and having keepers picked in the first 3 rounds, that made the 4th round best to worst, instead of worst to best…so I had to enter the draft order in reverse to correct that…

If it doesn't allow once it starts you may have to make it 45 minutes from now so it can open a half hour before the draft.

If you’re using the app, the only way I found to do it was to go to league settings or something like that, which opened a browser link to the league page.

From there, I could go to Team, and then Select Keepers

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on September 04, 2022, 06:06:24 pm
OK, so we may have a few keepers incorrect. For example, I'm pretty sure French Quarter kept Justin Herbert, not Mark Andrews.
Problem is, we're within hour of draft. So, if we want to change, we destroy the custom draft order and have to reset it.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on September 04, 2022, 06:17:12 pm
I'm going to suggest we either push draft back an hour or conduct it here.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 04, 2022, 06:29:42 pm
Why would we conduct it here?  Half the people are offline so wouldn't get to draft or it would take weeks like it used to way back in the day.

Yahoo will be fine.  If we have to delay it a bit to get **** sorted out then so be it.  That is what we have had to do every year for some reason or another but it always works out fine.

What happened in the end? Which league is the "real" one? Cheers!
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: waterbuffalo on September 05, 2022, 05:39:30 pm
I would imagine the Yahoo is the real one since it’s the only one everyone is in.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: ISF on September 11, 2022, 04:52:10 pm
Yahoo. Hog Butchers are going to win the league...because we have Justin Jefferson and you don't...

Aaron Rodgers scored a whopping 1.65.  i look forward to a similar result next week...

Dave, can you enable IR on Fantrax?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on September 16, 2022, 07:27:11 am
I’ll give it a look…I created that one on the fly, so I’m not sure where everything is just yet…
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on September 16, 2022, 08:15:45 am
OK, I think it should be OK now…it was set up where only players on IR or PUP lists were able to be placed on IR. I changed that.

Apparently now anyone can be placed on IR, so we’ll need to police that ourselves.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on September 16, 2022, 08:35:54 am
I don’t have an injured player…can someone test it and make sure it’s working?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on October 01, 2022, 03:52:32 pm
OK, so it looks like on the Fantrax site, something needs to be tweaked to allow player pickups before their game time…like right now…

Anyone want to take a look at it?

Nothing better than a player practicing all week and set to play only for them to be a surprise inactive at 8 in the morning …….. my luck is awesome

The game being cancelled is fvcked up for this.  But feels like an act of God type thing.

Hey Dave do we have a time set for the draft yet? Also would you be able to set it up? Figured we wouldn’t want another situation like last years draft.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on August 31, 2023, 09:45:28 am
I haven’t had time to look at it.

If someone wants to run with it, or even set up a new instance altogether, that would be great…
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: waterbuffalo on August 31, 2023, 09:52:22 am
I wouldn’t mind helping you set it up for Yahoo. I would just have to be a commish to do that. Would the normal Sunday at 6pm work?
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on August 31, 2023, 11:04:02 am
I gave you commish access…do what you want…

Sunday at 6 works for me.

Okay so Draft is set for this Sunday at 6 pm central. I’m at work rn so I can’t change draft order to fit the standings yet but I am able to do that as well.

Keepers are due this Saturday FYI for those who haven’t set them
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on August 31, 2023, 12:19:26 pm
Keepers are set for my team.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: waterbuffalo on September 02, 2023, 11:42:47 pm
Just FYI your keepers are set in the draft they will be your last 3 picks and are automatically attached to your team. For those who didn’t set their keepers which was 2 teams I gave them the best 3 players on their team or the 3 they told me about and just forgot to set them.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018

Thanks for taking it over.

Post by: Boris From Downunder on September 03, 2023, 05:05:34 am
I'll be at work during the draft so please random draft gods dont give me 6 kickers!
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: waterbuffalo on September 03, 2023, 09:58:31 am
So what I’m hearing is it’s okay if the random draft gods give you 5 kickers
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Pekin on September 03, 2023, 12:43:57 pm
And 4 D/ST.

Can we IR players?  Half my team is injured and it doesn't seem to be an option.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: waterbuffalo on September 19, 2023, 10:10:03 pm
I don’t know what’s going on Yahoo says we have IR spots and yet they aren’t accessible

I’ll look into it when I have a chance tomorrow

It looks like I just won this week by less than a point.  .9 points to be exact.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: VJ on October 05, 2023, 11:16:09 pm
Moore could have scored about 80 if Justin was more accurate and the refs let him stroll down the sideline for another score.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Grizzlybear34 on October 06, 2023, 05:26:20 am
Was Moore out on that one catch?  Never got a good angle.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: VJ on October 06, 2023, 07:14:44 am
In my biased opinion fuckno!  And it was inexcusable for the ref to blow the whistle on that one.
Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: Dave23 on October 06, 2023, 07:46:55 am
I was pissed that Prime never showed a replay that could tell whether he was OOB on that play or not…

can't make the pics smaller, but this is all I have seen so far...

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F7wioMyXcAA9Q2f?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)

At the very least it could have been challenged if the whistle wasn't blown.  OTOH he was in perfect position to make the call so....

Title: Re: BBFFL 2018
Post by: wmljohn on October 06, 2023, 10:06:31 am
The Ref was looking directly at it.  I have to believe he saw the step out.
