!@#$%^& Contest Closed (1 Viewer)

[george]

Note: The $35,000 Subscriber Contest closes at 11:59pm ET on Tuesday, September 2nd. That is the last time you can make changes to your roster

!@#$%^& Just went to submit my roster and realized it is closed. That's what I get for having my FBG link as the forum rather than the front page in my browser.

I got nailed too. It's not just closed but if you signed up but didn't set your roster then then you're SOL as well since rosters had to be submitted by midnight of Tuesday 9/2 as well.

So I'll say it again like I have for the last four years.

Maybe next year.

And to the FBG's contest administrators,,,whatever goodwill you gained by having a contest is taken away by having a contest that forces a roster before any fantasy football roster is due.

we reminded people for a week in the daily email update. We posted it in huge letters on the front page. There are numerous threads on the MB about this item. If you missed the deadline, we're sorry you can't participate... but it's not like you weren't reminded.

Not blaming anyone but myself for this. LOL at the shirt!

It's 2 days before the season starts (actually 43 hours). How many leagues have drafts that close to the opening game?

It was out there for like a month. Set a preliminary roster and tinker with it later if you want. If you forget, at least your still entered. This isn't rocket science.

 

[Dreamer]

I think I entered my roster a thousand times in the last month.

All they do is highlight it on the front page and MAKE A NOTE ABOUT IT IN THE DAILY E-MAIL.I don't know how much more hand holding you need.

I came in just to see how long it took for the to show up (thank you, Urbanhack), but this posting is priceless. FOUR YEARS and you still can't figure out how to enter the contest?!?? You could give Tatum Bell lessons in being pathetic.

Seriously

Well, sending him a suggested roster and a link to accept it would have been nice.

[valhallan]

I've actually missed the content 3 years in a row now and every time I've clicked on it the day after it closed. Feels like you should be able to enter right up until Thursday afternoon... oh well

This was at or near the top all of yesterday afternoon and evening leading up to the deadline. 2008 $35,000 Subscriber Contest

It appears you simply didn't check the forums yesterday.

I understood that I needed to sign up and enter the contest which I did but my error was not realizing that the lineup also had to be submitted prior to the entry deadline. BTW, it's not like it's actually your job to remind me, I can take personal responsibility for that. Are you really sorry??? I wouldn't be if I were in your shoes and your snippy answer seems to suggest that as well. For me, this contest is getting to be a big running joke since I, like others seem to find a way to miss it by one day each year. Next year I'm going for the one for the thumb. Cheers!!!

We have to close it down as there are a lot of things we have to do to get it ready. Every year people miss the deadline. We are sorry for that, but really try hard to let everyone know. This year we called it out the last 4-5 days in the email update plus we posted the announcement on the homepage of FBG and the home page of the Subscription area.

I think next year you should personally call everyone who hasn't submitted a valid lineup to remind them.

And put bye weeks by the players. Then come over and water the flowers and walk the dog.

 

[jerry jones]

next year could you have a program to just auto pick my players?

it's just too much to remember on my own...

Yeah, and they didnt even warn you right? Lets see it was in how many emails and plasted all over the web page... no one to blame but yourself.

[ctriopelle]

The funny part is that you actually had until about 5:00 Wednesday AM to submit before the door finally locked... it's not like they shut the door while you were trying to hit send at 11:59....

 

[hellz_fireflies]

I always have the FBG's home page set as my home page..missing that $35k contest and its for FREE has to make you feel like a Tatum Bell.

 

[Das Boot]

I forgot I did this a while ago. Meant to check it seeing as I have Rudi for 22 bucks, ooof. Oh well.

Rudi's gonna be a monster in Detroit... this was a shark move that will pay major dividends.

Now thats not nice cut it out...hahaha..I hear someone playing the Violin in this thread.

those won't count. the lawsuit has already been filed. i won't rest until i get my $0.00 back.

Yeah, who knew the football season was starting soon. I definitely blame Footballguys for this.

That would be ironic seeing as I drafted Kevin Smith precisely because he had no competition in Detroit.

This is the part that has me shuked. You "sign up and enter" by submitting a lineup. How could you do one and not the other?

That's what I found so hilarious as well. The dude obviously thinks that after you choose your players, you have to submit your lineup for week 1 - this is the deadline he thinks he missed. I bet he actually did enter the contest and doesn't even realize it.

He'll probably be the guy asking "when do waivers run" or "how do I submit my week 2 picks" in about a week.

Sounds like some people in my office. It is never there problem they screwed up. It is always Managements or someone else. Your last post was a very weak attempt at assuming accountability.

that reminds me, i'm looking to trade Colston because i need more RB depth. i'll consider all offers, but please give me time to respond as their might be upwards of 12,000. TIA.

 

[dino259]

Do the salarys reset after week one?

 

[ctriopelle]

only as part of the trade approval process to keep you under the 250 cap...
