The WCOFF processed blind bids 12 hours early and have decided to let them stand. What a joke.

There is no solution to this screw up that is fair to everyone.
I have no doubt that Lenny is talking with the lawyers before any statement is issued.

Seems there have been a lot of problems with xpertsports?
No there is probably not a solution that is fair to everyone but the solution they have taken so far is to allow the bidding to stand and re-run them later and that's not acceptable.

So what is acceptable, if there is not a fair solution to everyone?

this is the most fair. The morons who hadn't submitted waiver bids already were clearly not focused enough.
Now they can pickup the scraps if they have to.

What happens when a player that was awarded early is subsequently dropped tonight in order to block another owner's bids?Unfortunately, there is no way for this to end in a good fashion. I see legal action being taken regardless of the solution.

Exactly how does following the rules make someone a moron?
I think you are confusing WCOFF with FFTOC.
Then why does every WCOFF thread get moved into the ACF? Even when it has nothing to do with that fore arm?

Doesn't FBG have a booth at WCOFF every year?I think they handed out free Stat Paks one year.....

It was the FFTOC that they severed ties with.

Following the rules? Nobody broke the rules here, chief.

Actually XpertSports broke the rules or at least changed them.
Don't know really but my personal opinion is people knowing what you bid on a player versus not having the chance to bid on a player is the worse of the two evils so bids should be re-set. But I know that's not completely fair, just the one I feel would be fairest to all.For what it's worth I've been in WCOFF since the beginning in 7 various leagues total. I almost never make a bid before friday but yesterday I was placed on hold for about 30 minutes and decided to do it than so I'm not negatively affected by this. In face, in a sattellite league this may have helped my acquire Owen Daniels. Still, I'd rather my bids were deleted and started over. I play in high stakes leagues like WCOFF because I enjoy the competition and it's nice to shoot for a high financial reward when you put the work into fantasy football like me and many others do. Still, at the end of the day it's a game I'd rather see everyone be able to compete in fairly.

How would that make it more fair? If anything it opens it up to manipulation more than ever.

very unfortunate situation. happened in my satellite too. there's really only 2 options, let them stand and re-run at 8pm or re-set everything. i really wasn't going to bid on anyone this week so it doesn't hurt me either way, but as someone else said, i think the lesser of two evils would be to re-set everything.

NFFC is where it's at -- played with them this year, no problems at all.
If the bids are re-set it gives everyone a chance to bid on all players. Having the chance to bid on a player when people already know what some are willing to pay is a lot better alternative that not having a chance to bid on a player at all.

You still have a chance to bid on players. Just not the ones that someone already bid on. Having that information is MORE unfair to people who put in blind bids than NOT being able to bid on that person, but still having the ability to bid on someone else.It Happened, Kev.
And exactly how many quality players do you think are left worth bidding on in a 12 team, 20 roster league were the available free agents have already been picked over and you can't bid on anyone who was just dropped?

I'm glad I made all my final bids late Thursday night.
they could have been busy. For that kind of $ you're getting some "high roller" businessmen not just diehard FFers that put in waivers on Monday and Tuesday morning.
Why can't they just undo it and process them at the right time? Because blind bid amounts were seen?

ahhh that's the route I'd go. I can see how it'd stink on your end but ...
Packer WR Ruvell Martin.Greg Jennings returns this week(likely) so he was just a one week starter(ignoring Green Bay lines up in 3 WR set to open game sometimes) If he's the highest bid upon player I'm thinking :shirt:

Personally, I wouldn't want anyone else to know what I was bidding on Reche Caldwell. But if we redid the bids, everyone would know.
why can't you just bid more?Who are your current WRs?

I don't play in WCOFF, but I can't believe they would let the waivers stand. It sucks for teams whose bid became known, but at least going forward everyone has equal information as to what the previous high bid was. If you let the waivers stand, some teams had zero chance at the players they wanted. I don't see how anyone can say that would be a fairer solution than rolling the waivers back and doing them at the correct time.
That's really not the point at all.
