"How DARE you give me Eric Decker as the WR23 and 72nd pick overall. He's total garbage and BS. I refuse to play in a league where a commissioner makes such a ********* pick."
No. That was a different league. Someone took forever to make a pick so I gave him Decker. He went crazy and dropped out.
this thread is cracking me up
complete BS they can come back in a grab a decent player after being off the clock. But Im not sure what remedy would be available. Perhaps lumping them all at the end of the draft once the 18 rounds are over for the rest of the ones that bother to check in. Pretty sure this could be done.tex said:There have been far too many "timer expired" picks in this draft.
And then they would never bother to draft another player and quit in the middle of the draft. I have tried a lot of options and none of them are great. I'm not sure why people sign up if they have no interest in checking in once or twice a day.complete BS they can come back in a grab a decent player after being off the clock.

I agree. If you're not interested in drafting then why sign up??And then they would never bother to draft another player and quit in the middle of the draft.

No great loss, you move on and play with the teams that paid attention and drafted a full team with no complications. We aren't playing for money but only seems fair that the ones taking the time and following along shouldn't be penalized by those that don't care and can jump back in anytime. You snooze you lose.I agree. If you're not interested in drafting then why sign up??And then they would never bother to draft another player and quit in the middle of the draft.

My intent was to have 16 competitive teams. Having somebody endure a game misconduct and net only a waiver wire replacement will only serve to be a double whammy, 15 other teams will get incrementally better while the one offender will get dramatically worse.
see, so whats the difference? lol I do get your point, but it is so frustrating. Im not in any hurry to finish up and there is no $ involved, it's just the point. You sign up, that's a commitment to everyone else in your league. An 8 hour clock is more than manageable not to hold people up. And if you add your email to your team setup, you get auto email notifications, so whats the problem with people? nevermind, I already know the answer.
I took over that team and rode Decker like a rented mule and finished in 4th place (35 points away from 3rd and Keller got me a zero)....not bad since the rest of my draft wasn't that great.....Decker was highest scoring position player on team (second only to DET QB)....he outscored Dez Bryant, Cameron, etc.....
Some people have a life outside fantasy football especially when it's the weekends.BroncoFreak_2K3 said:
no one is stressing, my point merely was a team that misses their pick should be put at the end of the line, either at the end of that round or at the end of the draft. Not have the ability to bump back in, there should be some type of penalty. I use these league simply to bone up before my main leagues start in August, so no real vested interest in it other than that. Was fun last year when I scored the second highest points ever in Anarchy, I will say that.
I thought I was penalized fairly hard. I missed a whole round of picks. If you miss a pick you can only replace the pick with a player who hasn't been picked. Seems fair. You lose out on whoever has been drafted already.
Agreed. This is a classic case of it is what it is. There's no perfect solution.
I couldn't have said it better. With it being so long until the season starts, I'm not upset that people take their full 8 hours if they choose, but there very few legit excuses to time out more than once. If you're not interested enough to honor the commitment you made, then find another way to prepare for your "real" drafts.
Meh, sure it does... We've all been there.My Carson Palmer pick in the 5th round was the worst of the draft. I like him a lot especially in 6pt passing, but I drafted him at his ceiling and 4 rounds later there were still somewhat similar QB options available. Ugh.
I was standing at the computer while my wife was angrily tapping her foot waiting to go somewhere, so that in some small way explains the panic. Pick. Actually, no it doesn't
Completely my fault. I was using Draft Dominator to check rosters instead of using the MFL site. DD has McCluster as a WR, while MFL has him as a RB. Apologies, all.
