Yeah, that's weird... I'll check that and fix it, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
We're starting Tuesday, but it is a slow draft and it should be 22 rounds.

Ok, great.

Some other Fantrax GoonFB (GFB) differences I noted compared to Scott Fish Bowl settings:

SFB locks players at kickoff, but GFB locks at 5 minutes before kickoff.

SFB Blind Bidding Ties Are Broken By: Earliest Submitted Bid Wins
GFB Bid tie-breaker: Lowest ranked team in the standings wins the bid

I'm not entirely clear on how fantrax free agent handling works after a player is dropped, but it looks like there may be some other differences there too.

GFB has "Maximum Reserve Players: 8" but there is no equivalent setting on SFB. I have no idea what the Fantrax reserve player setting does, but it seems different from injured reserve, and maybe we should not have it?

GFB has this setting: "Score Flex positions by the players' actual positions: No". Does that mean that a TE in a flex slot will not get the TE bonus scoring? What does it mean, I guess?

Great catches, pmchem, I'll get that all sorted out today.

There are only 2 slots left, HOWEVER, if you try to join and it's full pm me your email. If I get 12 interested people who didn't make it in, I'll open up another division.

Alright got all these fixed, thanks again. Maximum Reserve Players is just Fantrax funny way of saying "how big is your bench" so I changed it to 11 to mirror SFB.

Let me know if you spot anything else, looks like some of my settings, like the draft time, got reset. But that is likly human error.

One guaranteed spot left. Again, if you try to get in and the league is full, pm me an email. If I get 12 I'll open up a new division.

Edit: Divisions set. Queen Medusa only has 11 teams, I'll add the last team when they sign up. After all 60 teams have joined I'll randomize and finalize the draft order.

I am also exceedingly happy to be in 89's division. Two reasons: 1. he is a prolific poster, smart FF player, fun guy, and FELLOW EAGLES FAN. 2. This league does not allow trades and he is so trade-addicted that he will hate his entire roster by week 2.

They're going to be randomized after the last team is in so you may not be in his division.

Good, I needed a puzzle to get me through the weekend.

SillyBurrito. Didn't the best ball draft return a similarly hosed up display before the draft launched completely normally? I kinda remember that

I can test by running a draft on one division this weekend to see if it goes normal, then revert it

At the league home page, the very top-right pop-up menu (three horiz lines) has a support/feedback option that includes toll free phone numbers for support. Maybe they can help fix the draft? I know that ESPN's support is usually pretty quick on responses during draft season.

My main concern here, aside from actually having picks :stonk: is that on Tues-Fri this week during eastern timezone work hours, I'll be entirely unable to draft and generally without internet. I don't want to time out, of course, so if the draft was all set up, I could see my slot, etc., then I was going to edit my early round draft order and maybe set some predraft picks (if that's even possible on fantrax?). Never used fantrax before so I'll just jump on my picks as soon as I actually can each day.

edit: p.s. draft settings still show as below for me (as per prior rounds/time discussion)

okay, turns out the option to have each division do a separate draft doesn't actually work. that's why everything looks screwy. Luckily there's a workaround: I create 5 separate leagues, one for each division, then after the draft I import the players from each of those leagues into the main league. I'll get on this tomorrow, and then will have everyone's draft slot #

What's the difference between a pregnant woman and the 2019 Goon Fish Bowl?

Answer: I can UnFUCK the 2019 goon fish bowl.

I think everything is in order. The issue was Fantrax hasn't complete the "separate divisions draft separately" feature, so everything looked screwy. Luckily their site details a workaround.

I had to clone the league into 5 separate leagues, one for each division. That division is where you'll do the draft. Then I'll import all the teams to the main 2019 goon fish bowl site.

Draft order has been finalized. Please check to see if anything looks fucky. Also let me know if it auto-added you to the new league or if you had to accept an email invite.

Ignore it. A. This sub-league draft thing is only for the draft, and will be imported before the actual season starts and charges incur, B. It's a residual effect, since I definitely took out all the features we have to pay for, C. I got the actual 60-team league to get the fees waived

Oh that's funny. I got pick 9 and I think I couldn't be more satisfied.

Give me my pick of whoever's left of the top 4 wrs or kelce or Gordon/Conner/Johnson, then bounce back to me with Mixon/Chubb/JuSchu/Beckham/Bel

Maybe 10th would be even better, but those are my top slots

Ok, the Dracula division draft looks like a normal old draft order so I think you've solved most of our problems, if people actually show up at the correct draft site when things kick off :v:

One thing to fix @ divisional draft sites, I'm seeing this:
