• Yeah I have some concerns about how all this will work, we need to figure this out now so there are no surprises in a couple months. One option would be to just base everything off total points, so there is no conflict between teams that played the dead teams more than others.
  Columbus Panhandles at Sep 21, 2016 11:01 AM
• How will that affect the playoffs at the end of the year? Isnt' the schedule imbalanced to where some people will play those teams twice while others will only play them once? I know that we have division winners but will the fourth team be the one with the best winning percentage since our total records will likely differ?
  COLTS at Sep 21, 2016 10:41 AM
• Everyone - Niv has confirmed he can re-adjust the standings at end of season to remove all games against the empty teams. This offseason we'll decide how to proceed after this year. We were really screwed by the guys who claimed the teams and said they wanted them then didn't do anything with them or tell me they wouldn't be playing.

• Dammit, I thought I had a bid in on Washington, but I guess not. Now I'm sad :-(
  Columbus Panhandles at Sep 21, 2016 8:59 AM
• I sincerely hope I didn't upset anyone, especially our commissioners. I've been a commish for the same league for over ten years and at times, it's a thankless job. My apologies if I did.
  I think we have a good group here and can get back to where we have a core group. I think what has been proposed is a fair way to go. I hope we can continue this league next season.
  Cali Doom Squad at Sep 19, 2016 9:21 PM
• Knights - I don't blame you. Just think it's unfortunate those two owners dropped. I like your suggestion to Niv. Hopefully he'll be a blew to help...

• Looking to move Aaron Rodgers (or possibly Russell Wilson), shoot me a message if you have interest in acquiring a stud QB
  Columbus Panhandles at Sep 19, 2016 11:30 AM
• Off topic, but to answer an earlier question - Confused, yes, there are points in the season where some teams play the same team two weeks in a row. Common across all three leagues I'm in on here.
  Doomsday 44 at Sep 19, 2016 10:42 AM
• It's not an elegant solution and I know some of you may not be happy with it, but games against the two un-owned teams will not count and the standings will be reset without those games at the end of the season. We'll make the best of what we have through the rest of this season, and we can fix it or shut it down this offseason. It's a shame we've had problems with these two teams because otherwise I thought we had a great first season and a pretty good offseason.
  Doomsday 44 at Sep 19, 2016 10:41 AM
• I was pretty active this offseason getting teams filled and getting everything coordinated. Only so much I can do though.
  Doomsday 44 at Sep 19, 2016 10:27 AM
• I just emailed Niv to see if there's a way to re-process the standings at EOS to eliminate games against the empty teams, we'll see what he says. Agree though that this league is probably dead though, but I blame the deficiencies of the site as much my efforts. Happy to turn over commish powers or add co-commish powers to anyone that wants to assist in getting it filled.
  Doomsday 44 at Sep 19, 2016 10:26 AM
• Your thoughts are valid - I've been trying to find replacement owners or work with Niv for an alternative, but this certainly hasn't been my #1 priority. I honestly thought the teams were filled going into the draft, and once again between the draft and the season starting. This site is absolutely terrible from a perspective of the commish tools giving me much ability to do anything about it. No ability to set lineups or fill rosters or anything like that. I can remove owners who've claimed the teams and done nothing with them, but there isn't much help in getting spots filled, and I don't think at this point without being able to give a huge discount I'll be able to.
  Doomsday 44 at Sep 19, 2016 10:23 AM
• With the exception of one suggestion to fill thisleague, I've remained silent. I really don't want to comeacross in a rude manner, but I believe this is a near dead league.
  I don't mind starting off 2-0 (played the two abandoned teams first two weeks), but I personally think not filling a league should automatically suspend a league or at least allow the commish to put in the best players for those teams to at least have lineups.
  I think our owners are very good, but with the lack of communication, I'm not sure how this league will do next season.
  Seems like their has been some absent decision making here.
  Just my.02.
  I may be in the minority's, but those are some of my thoughts
  Cali Doom Squad at Sep 18, 2016 6:45 PM
• I'm confused. I had to play the same team two weeks in a row?

  Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Sep 18, 2016 6:05 PM
• I have to work something out with Niv. By not dropping the price when the teams were abandoned and not paid for it made them impossible to fill.
  Doomsday 44 at Sep 17, 2016 4:40 PM
• Agreed
  Stoolblasters at Sep 15, 2016 10:20 PM
• So is this now a 10 team league? If so the division's system really sucks
  Neanderthal at Sep 15, 2016 10:14 PM

• Sorry for not responding before now. My work schedule is pretty crazy with hours, so it's tough for me to say which days I CANNOT draft. I will say that Friday evenings and most Saturdays work. West Coast time here.
  Cali Doom Squad at Aug 12, 2016 3:36 PM
• Just processed the final trade and Alpha Kenny's cuts, sorry for the delay was in Vegas. Need to pick a draft date - to simplify, need everyone to send me only the dates they CANNOT draft. I'll map it out and figure out which days are leftover that everyone can draft.
  Doomsday 44 at Aug 8, 2016 11:46 AM
• Do we have any ideas for a draft date?
  
  COLTS at Aug 4, 2016 5:32 PM

• Knights, thanks for staying on top of things! Football has taken a backseat to baseball for most of us, so it is good to hear we are about ready to go for year 2. I am all for using our Slack page more frequently and am sure it will pick up activity after our draft. Looking forward to the season!
  Stoolblasters at Jul 20, 2016 10:53 AM

• One last thing - we do have a league slack page, although up to this point it hasn't really been utilized. I know this essage board sucks for the most part, so anyone wants in to the slack page let me know, would be good to see it used more this season. Also open to other ideas, like a Facebook group or another site. Let me know what you all think.
  Doomsday 44 at Jul 19, 2016 10:03 AM
• I think this is the fairest way to allow the new owners to make some moves without negatively impacting existing owners' plans.
  
  Feel free to reach out to me directly at any time - mdugent@gmail.com, (508) 638-8668. This is an expensive league so want to make sure everyone is comfortable with the moves everything is above the board. I will never touch commish tools without leaguewide notification and a chance for everyone to comment and question.
  Doomsday 44 at Jul 19, 2016 10:00 AM
• Any questions or concerns with this process let me know.
  Doomsday 44 at Jul 19, 2016 9:58 AM
• Hey all, quick update. We have new owners in a few teams and league now appears to be completely full (although two owners still haven't renewed their teams, which needs to be rectified ASAP). In order to ensure competitive balance for the new owners and everyone else, I am extending the cut and trade deadline to 7/31 for the entire league. If you want to make any cuts, email them to me and I'll push them through via commish tools. If you want to make any trades, both owners need to email me. Once I receive the email, I'll post the deal on the message board and email the league for comment. Because this is the offseason, the veto threshold will be low - four vetos will kill any deal, but if you veto we should probably hear a good explanation.

  Bring Your Playbook at Jul 16, 2016 8:59 PM
• Reposting from slack: So I'm bringing this up now bc I can foresee it being an issue next week. I have several cuts that I'm waiting until the deadline to make to evaluate the available pool of talent/$. I'm concerned if we have a large number of absent owners (judging by lack of responses this offseason, I suspect we have several) that we can't make an adequate assessment of available talent. In fairness to returning owners, I propose the following. Everyone makes their cuts as expected by June 30th. But if we have 4 or more owners without cuts, then all other owners are allowed to make up to two more penalty-free cuts after the new owners make their cuts. Thoughts?
  Neanderthal at Jul 2, 2016 8:08 PM
• Back to valid!
  Neanderthal at Jun 29, 2016 9:19 PM
• Mistake on my part because you were over the cap still.
  Doomsday 44 at Jun 29, 2016 2:51 PM
• I posted on the board yesterday and made cuts.. Was I one of your three inactives?
  Neanderthal at Jun 29, 2016 1:32 PM
• Just heard from Swamp Monsters, he's in as well. Walliver and Devastators both haven't logged in since March so wouldn't count on them, I'll start looking for replacements now.
  Doomsday 44 at Jun 29, 2016 1:27 PM
• With what seems like a guaranteed 9 of 12 owners coming back for next season we're in good shape for a $100 league.
