Yeah I thought I had it set it yesterday so that it was in place for today (knowing I was going to be busy today and most likely wouldn't have time to check stuff until late). Not sure what happened, just gonna assume I messed something up. I'll go ahead and defer to EricCartman2000atYahoo on whether he wants to allow something retroactively, no biggie either way.

Thank you for looking out Kalen. That has been very disappointing this year how many lineups have been lost. It seems to lose lineups less from the app? I definitely hit max frustration with it a couple weeks ago.

I know that when I move players to/from IR or Taxi, or successfully pick up a player via waiver claim, it can prompt a domino effect on future line-ups. I encounter the same issue with Yahoo for NHL so I've just made it a habit to double-check rosters each morning over breakfast. I do feel like the website is clunky for roster tinkering since you can't do a direct swap between two players & positions, and I wonder if the extra adjustments result in a higher rate of weird hiccups.

FYI for the draft order, we'll be doing some lotteries where success in these final few weeks will bump your odds up (i.e. couple of extra ping-pong balls). So there's some incentive for everyone to play their full complement of starters for the final few weeks.

Oh great Curry is done until the playoffs and Fox was lighting it up but he’ll be shut down for the season. THJ and Hayward have been out for who knows how long and Middleton is probably going to take his time coming back. I should have dropped Hayward and THJ long ago but it’s not like there were much better options. Did you mean that winning these consolation matchups will give you better odds at a better draft pick? I know the other way around would not work at all, but I can’t say I agree that beating a team worse off than you means you’ll get a better pick than that team.

We haven't designed it but I definitely want to favor the teams who had the lowest record via the odds. Maybe just improving the chance for someone to jump up for winning but less chance or no chance of moving up without the wins. The way I see it is Bottom 4 teams --> in a lottery for each spot --> new teams (if any) no move up chance to first 4, lottery for their spots --> in order, no move up chance ---> Rick fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Mar 25, 2022 |

Good luck this week CartMountain, your roster is on a tear and it's a coinflip imo. Trae, Siakam, & Poole are drat near unstoppable lately.

So weird, when I added Montrezl the button said 'Claim Monday' instead of just 'Add'. I thought that would mean he would be added at the end of today, but instead it seems to have added him already? It was already a bit confusing with my time difference but now I have no idea. edit: continues my run of ~90% coaching haha Red Rox fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Mar 29, 2022 |

Waivers are processed at 12h10~ and 20h10~ Eastern afaict. It's a weird quirk that causes some players to be unavailable by mere minutes. Unrelated, the injury god has found my roster and is wreaking havoc.

Pretty sure this has already been covered, but for the record are the timezone limits dictated by the site or is there admin discretion? Frustrating that you can't move any active players until 2 AM Pacific, and then all the halfway-credible FA plays get scooped up at 5 AM Pacific.

Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze anymore with Fleaflicker but I do enjoy all the custom league stuff and email draft is really good so I dunno, I guess we could do that by hand but that would start to suck pretty fast.

For baseball my friends and I are trying Fantrax this year, it appears to have a poo poo ton of customization options and an email draft option, I assume that would be true of basketball as well. I think it even has some options for daily free agency stuff. I can't actually vouch for it yet but if we're all getting annoyed by Fleaflicker forgetting our lineups it might be worth exploring

Back in the day I ran multiple hockey drafts IRL and then uploaded to a site that allowed custom settings. If we find one that lets us setup divisions, schedules, etc as we prefer then I'd be happy to handle the setup for an in-thread draft and the importing into the site.

lol at the players I've lost to injury these final two weeks, what a bummer way to end the season Congrats on the championship CartMountain! Edit: just wanted to say that while I'm obv disappointed to see my first legit shot at winning a fantasy league fall apart in almost comical fashion, CartMountain crushed it in the back half of the season with the waiver pickups and kept setting strong rosters despite all of their players' injuries Anyways I'm frustrated at the outcome and venting like a sap haha, but I wanted to properly acknowledge CM assembling a superb lineup kalensc fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Apr 1, 2022 |

I'm stunned that Giannis, Bane, Hart, Wood, Gallinari, Lopez, etc getting officially ruled out yesterday afternoon didn't immediately torpedo my chances. Unfortunately, I'm out of waiver claims from the earlier injury replacements. Boromir has multiple players on the bench who are currently active and playing. I guess they weren't aware of start times, or the system did something weird again. Regardless, I'll edit Harris, Love, Poole, and Capela into the starting line-up on their behalf.

Part of it was I threw my back out mid-week and have had a lovely last couple of days. When I finished stretching/yoga on Friday afternoon the first thing I saw was "Giannis OUT" among others, so I vented a bit. Anyways I knew mid-week that my only hope was the remaining players scoring at 125% their average rate, and the Friday injuries were the decisive blow. Eyeballing it, 1k+ of fantasy points were lost this week to IR, all from players who were healthy 10~ days ago. Streaming can only do so much (and a few of those pickups got injured to boot haha).

i've been playing fantasy sports for like 20+ years and i can honestly say i've never had so many lucky bounces and things break my way in a season before. i , too, think its bs that i somehow won. fitting that it'd happen to be in a league where absolutely nothing is at stake (except for the Respect and Adulation of my Fellow Posters of course). i'm an Old Curmudgeon when it comes to using my phone for stuff, so everytime i had to make moves and set lineups and poo poo, i had to be at my PC. couple that with the fact that i'm a relatively new father who doesn't get to see their son a ton monday through friday as he's primarily only awake during my working hours, it lead to me constantly missing/loving up my weekend lineups as I pretty much spend every waking hour I can with him on the weekends (1:00 pm saturday games are dumb as hell IMO). so thank you all for bearing with me through it and i promise i'll learn how to do this poo poo on my phone for next season lol. i live in Pittsburgh where absolutely nobody gives a poo poo about professional basketball , so it was especially nice to be able to find a basketball league where half of the league doesn't lose interest playing by the end of December. this is definitely one of the most fun and competitive leagues i've ever played in and it's nice to be able to partake with other dudes as passionate. i remember realizing immediately out of the gate during the draft what i was getting into as players i feel like i could typically wait on/for in other more casual leagues were snatched up left and right way earlier than i expected. i also want to take a moment to especially thank kalensc and Rick for all of the effort and work they put into the league. you guys are a great driving force to keep things mixed up and interesting which goes a long way to keeping people engaged IMO. thanks for a fun as hell season ya'll

That's awesome stuff man, and you def deserve the championship, no asterisk needed for running hot etc  I know that a lot of my team's success this year was due to (1) east coast bias re: waivers & my early-ish alarm, and (2) lack of other commitments enabling me to IR/replace players that were designated as DTD or DNP-Rest an hour before tip-off. I need to dig into the data eventually, but looking at the AvgPt per Position, I think a majority of my win margins came from quantity of games played rather than their quality. So you juggling your workday and your newborn (congratulations btw! I can't fathom the energy and resilience it must take to care for an infant in these times while still carving out a bit of time and space for innocent fun) and having far less free time to tinker via the site or app imo makes the final outcome feel 100% right & good  And I really appreciate the thanks you and Chron and Emot and Deimos and Dutchy and RedRox and Maestro and (awful app postin, will need to edit in more usernames here) posted, those lil' bits of kindness are invaluable these days hah. Excited for next year's league to start, and I'll chat with Rick soon about the final weightings for the draft lottery, then share that outcome & the final spreadsheet. kalensc fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Apr 5, 2022 |

Is there any interest amongst the Lothlorien crew in a zero-prep zero-experience-needed MLB fantasy thing? Something very low-maintenance, so you could set your lineups once per week and glance at the waivers every now and then and still be competitive thru the NBA pre-season.
