What's the rule?
|
|
|
|
| Can't find it, but when two teams have the same bid for a player, and one of those teams gets him....how does that work? ie. Stu and I bid same for K Collins, he got it. Why? anyone? |

If it's a time stamp thing..
|

|
|

I'd like any QB to kick The Skullsplitters ass... anyone? |

As far as I know...
|
|
|
|
It's whoever places the bid first. I was involved in 2 bids like this last year (one in Midgard).
If you look at the message board from last year, the thread titled Chris Henry is where it was discussed. |

There you go
|
|
|
|
Chris Henry?! Eeesh.
There's only one deadline! It's fine. I'll be bitter if I lose next week by two, but neither owner should get the player if the bid is the same. I'm not going to bid free agency on Tuesday morning or Monday night, unless the deadline is...Monday Night...but it's NOT. I have one deadline. I've never in 10 years bid the same as another owner. fine. but it stinks. and that's what the board is for. Peeee-yew.
Peace out!
P.S. I'll take a shitty QB for Ocho Cinco, Factor (owner in Keith's division...) |

Bug in the trading system
|
|
|
|
| Anyone else notice that on the propose a trade screen, rosters are not current? Granted trading Kerry Collins versus pretending to trade Kerry Collins is pretty much the same thing these days, but this is a bit confusing. Commish, can you get out the duct tape and put a fix on this? |

The Time Stamp Rule - not a fan
|
|
|
|
| I really don't like the time stamp. I'm not sure why the time you submit FA should have any bearing on the outcome of the bid. I thought deferring to the lower-ranked team (worse record, then fewer points if records are tied) in the case of a tied bid made more sense, and we used that system effectively for years. The FA system was built to aid the losers, yet the arbitrary time stamp concept not only strays from this fundamental concept, it also implies nothing about an owner's FA abilities, strategy, priorities, etc. It only implies that you had free time on Tuesday evening and didn't change your mind after that. Big whoop. |

I don't like the Time Stamp rule either.
|
|
|
|
| And unless we can have the two owners with the tied bids meet to decide the winner via a stone circle death match, I see no better way than to have the tie go to the lower-ranked team. |

Even though it worked in my favor this time
|
|
|
|
| I'm not a big fan of the time stamp rule either. But knowing that was the rule did affect how quickly I put in my bid (i think I placed that bid on Monday). |

wow, we were retarded
|
|
|
|
yup, it's in the dang Rule Book that in case of a tie the earliest gets it. that's just ridiculous.
i'm proposing a League Vote to change this rule going forward, to where in case of a tie then the team with the worst record gets the player. the next level tiebreaker would be the team with less YTD points. or the other way around.
as far as adjusting Wednesday's outcome, that somethng that could be addressed if Stu wishes to consider it. otherwise, i reckon we should probably go with what was in that rule book. even if it was retarded. |

Drop the rule, keep last week's outcome
|
|
|
|
| As the only other person to be burned by the FA tiebreaker rule (I was the one who lost Chris Henry to Will, who then played him against me - dick!), I'm very happy to see that rule go. But i don't think it's fair to penalize Stu, who knew the rule and factored it in to his decision. It totally sucks for Zach, no doubt, but that to me doesn't mean the rule should be changed after the fact. |

According to last year's discussion
|
|
|
|
This rule was put into place because losing teams were already being rewarded with extra megabucks to bid with - and you didn't want everything to be weighted in favor of the lower seeded teams. Plus, it was there to reward quick decisions. But now as we see the rule in action, we can better see how everything is affected.
I was involved in 2 FA bids last year that were ties (2 weeks in a row). I got Bironas over Kent - Keith had initially told me that the system was wrong in giving him to me and we had to change it a week later. Then Keith and I tied for Ryan Grant the next week. We had the same record at that point, but Keith had a higher YTD total both then and at the end of the season. He ended up beating me out for the last playoff spot by 20 points. |

I don't want Collins that bad.
|
|
|
|
| I felt butt fucked, yes. But let's move on. I managed to turn my junk upside down this week anyway. I think in hindsight we're all correct in our thoughts and considerations. Go TJ Duckett! ...aw fuckit. HERM you suck! |

we can all agree that Keith's RBs suck...
|
|
|
|
| but their point totals look a hell of a lot more impressive today than they did on Sunday morning. Wish i had some of those sucky RBs. Too bad Keith will demand a #1WR or some nonsense. ;) |
