I'll start a new thread for everyone to talk trash that actually has some basis in reality.
Frick - your "defense" stinks - 85 pts against in one night.

Did anyone's live scoring work last night? I tried, but didn't see any scores, actually I still don't see any scores from last nights game.
Smith32, what defense are you talking about?

Frick, given the ruling at post 28 of http://rotoguru1.com/cgi-bin/mb/foot/4329.shtml?1126289883, are you going to make a similar ruling?

FRICK
ID: 3410101718 Fri, Sep 09, 2005, 13:48
I don't think so. The reason being is that when Ware was selected in our draft he had already been changed to DL, not LB. This was pointed out in one of the threads at the time.
If I'm wrong on this or if any league members feel strongly on this issue let me know.

Frick, I don't exactly know what you're saying in post 3. When I searched in the AOL league list before making my Ware pick, he was listed as a DL. So, I had no reason to think he would be switched to a LB once the season started. Had I known he would be switched to a LB, I would have either spent my 13.04 pick on another, more proven lineman such as Kevin Williams or John Abraham or waited till later to make my DL pick and picked for a different position at that spot.

OK stop this you guys, I getting tired of posting I'm an idiot, granted it is my fault, but still.
DaBomb, I apologize, I was thinking of Suggs and confused to the two players.
Guru has ruled in the RIFC that Ware can be used as a DL for the entire season. I'm going to change the setting for the league to allow up to 3 LBs, but his is only for the team that holds Ware, i.e. if DaBomb would trade him.
I'll try to look at the starting rosters, but I'm going to ask each of you to look at your oponent each week and check to make sure that they have a DL starting. If you notice anything let me know.

Sorry for the confusion. I was just pointing out that Frick's two opponents this week (my team included) put up a total of 85 pts last night. I was not making any reference to his team DEF, his IDPs, or any rules related to any of that, just making a (bad) joke.

Hi to all,
I've been busy with real life and have not had time to respond to Yokel (Re: Post 256, in RIFC AA Discussion).
Overmatched? I haven't looked at your team lately but aren't you starting 2 Colts WR's playing against the Ravens? Wow, what a great tactic. I hope you don't play the market with this intrepid manoeuver of putting all your eggs in one basket.
And your QB (whom overachieved last year) does not scare my Vick at all. Yours can throw but has lost Mush, his favorite receiver, so don't expect miracles.
Sure, you got my goats absolutely spanked at RB, I'll admit that... for now. However you may not be so cocky later on this season when you have to start Bar-Blow because Anderson will have lost his starting job to Tinky. For now, you are in a better position, but we'll just have to see what happens Sunday.
Frick, thanks for all of your work in respect of getting us set up (it must be time consuming).
Wishing you all the best this Sunday, GB

Daunte... I am soo disappointed. I could have very easily gone 2-0 this week if Daunte had thrown a TD, or maybe not thrown 3 INTs. At least some other players picked up the slack. Now let's hope Dallas Clark plays and maybe gets 3-4 catches for 60 yards and a TD. Then i will have a comfortable margin going into Monday. Cause i know Vick and Trotter won't get 25+ points. Thank you Greybear for the first win of the season.

Dearest Kyle,
Thank whomever persuaded you to take Fast Willy off their hands, as you are being bailed out by a player you didn't even want. I know it does not matter but it doesn't say much of your draft skills either.
I don't have live scoring, but I imagine you are whipping my goats' bedonkeydonks. My team is sucking moose-cock right now, and, at least I am mature enough to admit it... damn, I am as frustrated as Hellen Kellar at a piniata party!
My only joyful moments have been Karlos Dansby's performance and seeing Mike Anderson go 4 for 5... what do you have to say about that Yokel?
Well, I hope the weeks to come bring better luck to the doomed goats, and Kyle, make no mistake, someone somewhere will dislodge that horseshoe from your ass!

Perhaps I missed it in the rules, but are we supposed to be playing two teams at the same time? I've never seen this before. Will this be happening every week?
Yeah, looks like Anderson got hurt early. I might be hurting too at RB as a result.. I need another TD from Marvin or Reggie to at least get a split this week.

Da Bomb
ID: 43359416 Sun, Sep 11, 2005, 23:28
Not hurt as bad as Javon... Can't they make a rule so that the top 10 WR be two hand touched instead of tackled for the sake of their fantasy owners?
Is the waiver priority shown on the league cite, or do we keep track of it manually?
P.S. If anyone is looking for a RB I have Foster, William Green, and kick/punt return extraordinaire BJ Sams (who had more points last year than Duckett).

FRICK@Work
ID: 220211 Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 08:58
Nerf, yes we play two teams each week, this way you get to play every team in the league twice.
DaBomb, the waivers should be up and running on the site, you might not be able to make a claim until after tonights games are over/tomorrow morning.
The way the waiver wire should be set up is everyone can make their claims and they will be processed around noon on Wednesday, after that all unclaimed players become FAs and can be picked up by anyone. Since I have probably managed to 0-2 this week and one of the lowest scores I should have a good waiver position, sigh.

Does the waiver priority reset each week based on standings or remain constant like in a yahoo league?
26
FRICK@Work
ID: 220211 Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 09:51
It resets each week, for the first 6 weeks. After that priorities do not reset weekly.
If it makes anyone feel any better, I traded away Derrek Lee in mid-May in what I thought was a "sell-high" transaction given that he had never driven in 100 runs. So, decide who you want to have a breakout performance, and trade me for them, it works every time.

Greybear
ID: 25743129 Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 15:29
Smith 32,
I accept your apology (Re: Post #27). However, if I keep my fingers crossed maybe Vick can get me 16 points and Trotter 10, which would put me on top.
It's kind of hard to root for both of them though, as one doing well will mean the other doing not so well. All in all, I have learned that it's not over 'till it's over.
Also, I can't say that I really drafted for week one only, so I'll have to see what the rest of the season brings. (I already have a mess in Denver... I hate the rat-faced bastard).

Kyle
ID: 367751 Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 16:15
If I go 2-0 this week 2 things have to happen. 1. Mike Vick has a typical preformance against the Eagles, therefore holding Greybear to hoping Trotter can make up the majority of points. 2. Javon Kearse has only 1 tackle. Or he has a reoccuring foot injury? Or maybe TO thinks he can play better DE and decides to try that out and bumps "The Freak" asside. IF (and that's a big if) I do go 2-0 the game ball for my team will have to go to Matt Stover. Thank you so much for missing those 3 FGs. If only he lost points like they reported for missed FGs.

Posted by Guru in the RIFC thread
Free agent claims are processed at noon Wednesday, so you must submit any claims before then.
To submit a claim, go to the "Claims" link under the Transaction menu. You can submit multiple requests, and you can prioritize them, and you can rank order each claim. Hopefully, the instructions at the site are self explanatory.
Do not use the "Waiver Wire" link for this weekly free agent claiming process. The only players who go on waivers are dropped players. Although the mechanics of the free agent claiming process are similar to waivers, these players are technically not on waivers, and you can be easily confused if you do not remember that distinction.
Commissioners - if you are using Fanball or a related system, be aware that the claim priority lists for free agent claims and for waivers are not automatically synchronized. If a team is awarded a free agent claim, he moves to the back of that priority list, but his waiver priority is not correspondingly reordered. However, we want both claim priority lists to be in synch. Therefore, after free agent claims are processed on Wednesday, you will need to adjust the waiver priority list to correspond to the adjusted priorities coiming out of the free agent claiming process. It's a simple exercise, but one that you need to remember to do weekly. And, when we get to the point of the season that free agent claim priorities are not reset weekly (after week 6), then we'll have to "work backwards" prior to Wednesday each week, copying over the adjusted waiver priorities to the free agent claim priorities (if there have been any waiver claims in the past week).
Fortunately, the free agent claim process occurs only once per week, at noon on Wednesday (or whenever you have specified it to occur). Other than that, the waiver process is the operative one.
Clear as mud?

To quote him: "Leftwich should be a fantasy starter in all leagues" And now I have to agree with him for once, Daunte and Leftwich have just found them on a QBBC

Don't feel to bad Greybear, in the Serious Biz league my starting 10 players were outscored by 5 guys on the bench, 65 to 56
Needless to say I lost, actually if I could have started all 15 players I would have won, by 1 point.

Greybear
ID: 25743129 Tue, Sep 13, 2005, 14:57
Losing by less than 4 points when Trotter doesn't even see one flockin' play is still eating away at me... oh, there is also the fact the Mike Brown sat on my bench with 14.5 points. Nevertheless, I should thank my lucky stars as my IDP's carried me this week. It could have been worse given that the rest of my team did SFA.
I have my claims set up, hope it works according to plan. Gotta go take out my frustrations against someone, hopefully not someone that can fire me.

Frick, if I understand correctly, once waiver claims are awarded at 12:00 p.m. est, all free agents are then available to be picked up. Not included in the free agent pool are those who were just released by their respective fantasy teams (these players will not become free agents until Friday).
IIRC, this is how Fanball worked last year. Is this assessment correct? Thanks.

FRICK@Work
ID: 220211 Wed, Sep 14, 2005, 12:10
Players go on waivers for 48 hours. So if they were processed in the initial batch at 12:00 noon today, they would then become FA at noon on Friday.
There is a good discussion of the Waivers/FA on the RIFC thread.

Frick,
Pursuant to http://rotoguru1.com/cgi-bin/mb/foot/4251.shtml#1123361156 post 192 and in the interests of fairness to all fellow participants, I see that there were 3 official statistic changes from last week's games:
1. Kerry Collins' interception was changed to a fumble and a sack. And Collins' pass attempts were reduced to 39.
2. Matt Hasselbeck had an interception changed to a fumble and a sack. His pass attempts were reduced to 36.
3. Daunte Culpepper had a rush for a loss of 7 yards changed to a sack. Therefore, his rush stats changed from 4 for 12 yards to 3 for 19 yards. A sack was added to the Tampa D.
I'm not certain if Fanball has made these changes or if they are to be made manually.
I note that the RIFC bars changing results of head to head games after Saturday at midnight PST (that said, I don't think that these changes would have affected the outcome of any of our games last week); however, the changes will affect slightly the overall points scored.
47
Kyle

It might change my game in which i lost by .9 points. Not sure tho.
48
FRICK
ID: 3410101718 Mon, Sep 19, 2005, 16:54
None of the scoring changes would have changed the final outcomes, although Kyle only would have lost by .3 points.
Per the RIFC a manager has to protest his score if he wants it recalculated. Unfortunately I don't have the time to recalculate the scores each week.
I'm not sure if Culpeppers score would have changed. Don't yards that are lost on a sack count against the quarterbacks total rush yards? So the rushing stats would be 3 for 19, but you need to subtract the 7 yards for the sack, so no net change.

I'm fairly safe... the biggest battle for me tonight will be Tony Gonzalez +15 vs. Larry Johnson. That could be really close.
I find it interesting that AOL hasnt quite figured out how to get IDP live scoring right on Gameday. The stats for each player arent even close. They arent even in the same ballpark. They had Jason Taylor for 6 tackles and 1 assist when in reality he had 2 tackles and 3 assists, plus a PD. I wonder what their system is actually reading during gameday? At least they get it right by the next day, but it's kinda scary when you wake up on Monday and realize youve lost 7 points and your opponent gained 6 overnight.

My Adalius Thomas acquisition is purely based on the fact that I got a pair of tickets to the Jets-Ravens game on Sunday and I want to have some rooting interest. I have about 6 teams of fantasy players, and Todd Heap was the only Raven or Jet I had starting before I got Thomas. Just in case anyone was puzzled by this move.
I would guess that there are not to many Raven Jets players on any team other than the Baltimore D and Curtis Martin. I have heard numerous "experts" saying to take the Under on this game, it is 31 I think and I can't say that I disagree with them. Has there ever been a 0-0 tie in a recent game?
Hope you have fun at the game.

As a Redskin fan I do remember the 7-7 tie with the Giants a few years ago, complete with Frerotte injuring himself headbutting a padded wall and Westbrook (I think) taking a 15-yd penalty for a helmet toss.
I agree, under 31 total should be safe.

Frick - the experts were right - under 31 was the lock of the year. At one point, my friend looked at me and said "why didn't I bet my life savings on the under" and the idea didn't sound that dumb. A. Thomas got a sack, but not much else. It was interesting to have someone to watch while the Jets were on "offense".

Dearest Smith32,
You are hereby cordially invited to shut the f_ck up. No, really, I gotta be able to take it if I dish it out... which I haven't been doing (dishing it out) as I have been busy with things such as work, and I also do some officiating for figure skating which has kept me away for a while.
Anyhow, it sounds like you've missed me, and I understand that if you don't have much else to do in your life, you may want to sit on your couch, eat cheetos, scratch your balls with your keys and press the refresh button to see if anyone wishes to communicate with you.
All in all, I agree with you, the goats fell apart this last weekend... injuries are a killer but these things happen. You should really thank me because the goats' piss poor performance kept you from falling to a ".500" record. You must certainly realize that your 112 points of this weekend is not really much to write home about either, but I guess you have to really celebrate your victories where you find them. Do we meet again later this season? If so, my hopefully healthy goats are looking forward to shoving a pineapple up your ass and spinning it counterclockwise.
Gotta go, but I will attempt to check in later and regale you with tales...

Frick, Other leagues have had issues regarding dropped players/waivers as they are apparently two different categories. See 105, 146-147 in this thread. But in our league rules, I only see a time designation for dropped players, and I don't see waivers listed. So I guess it's OK since I don't see a waivers category. Is there an option for waviers in the rules somewhere though?

I hate to get blown out of games in fantasy football but you lost in the worst possible way, by less than a point in each game. While your record (and possibly team) is superior to mine, that really sucks to lose like that. I wish you well and hope all goes well for you next week. I am glad I don't play you as your team is sure to seek revenge on the next possible opponents.

Has anyone had any issues in regards to post 62? I don't want to mess with anything unless it becomes an issue.
I can't get into the league from work, but I hope to post the standings sometime this week.
Can anyone tell where I am as of this week?

Heh, I thought I had lost both games by less than a point but apparently I beat Mike so I'm happy with that at least. Coming down to less than 4 yards of offense is tough though.
Besides that, I still have the fewest points against in the league. You have to understand that in all the years of fantasy football I have never had that kind of luck. Typically, if I'm sixth in scoring, I'm usually 3rd or better in points against and 4-6. That's just the way football works for me usually. hehe.

Not only did my Colts win last night bud Edge's 3TD performance and a couple of others let me turn a 45+ point deficit into a 10 point win.
That's more like it.
On a side note I hope to actually field a complete roster at some time soon. I have had 3 weeks in a row now where I had a player not play, 1 was my fault for not moving a bye player, I swear that I did it earlier in the week, and 2 have been game time decisions. Oh well it wouldn't have made a difference in any of the games.
I might possibly interested in Sams, but I need another QB more.

Here are the standings as of Week 6. The stats are sorted by Points For, which determines the last 2 teams in. There are 4 teams tied at 7-5 currently so I left out the team with the lowest points, sorry Greybear. The teams in yellow are in by record, the teams in red are in by points.

I took note of that rule at the start of our season. When week 6 came, I expected the order to not re-set. However, it did. I personally have made roster moves since week 7 presuming that this rule was not in effect (although I was not sure why it was not in effect). I cannot speak for other managers. However, it seems to me that we're going to need a ruling from the commish on what should next take place (i.e., status quo, using the week 7 standings and seeding the waiver claim priorities each week therafter, or using the week 10 standings and seeding the waiver claim priorities.
I have some time today and will re-build our season and post the standings for each week in the posts that follow.

It's going to take a lot of work to re-build the entire season and then re-seed those with tied won-loss records according to points scored and then moving those who made moves to the back of the line to bring the waiver priority list up-to-date.
I leave this to the commish to make a decision concerning what to do. But, as I stated earlier, waiver priorities would have had more value for weeks 7-9 if they had been re-set.
I had earlier posted won-loss records (for weeks 1-7). In light of Nerfherders post, I' ve delete those posts and will re-check all of the records before I post them.

My daughter was born at 5:33 this morning and I just now got back home to but the oldest two to bed before heading back to the hospital.

Frick 136 Yes, I'll try to watch the waiver wire, but mainly we are going on the honor system for this
I meant are we allowed to pick up FA like normal during the playoffs? Reason I ask this is because in the RIFC they are doing a system that doesn't allow pickups of QB, RB, WR, and Def at all and only allows pickups for the other positions (TE, K, IDP) if they are Questionable or worse and the only way to make a replacement would be to drop this Q or worse player for the replacement.

I believe that we should mirror the RIFC (after all, this is a RIFC qualifying league and, to the best of my knowledge, we have mirrored the rest of the season; why start changing things now?).
Therefore, as Da Bomb stated, the only changes that playoff managers can make are at TE, K, DE, LB and DB (and that's only if a player at one of those positions is questionable or worse at that position.).
No changes to the other positions (QB, RB, WR and D) are allowed after Monday of week 13.

Did I miss something about the rules of the RIFC?

I agree with Letter J. I thought "the honor system" meant follow the rifc rules and police yourself, not do whatever you want. Had that been the case I would have picked up some waiver guys as well.

Hmm. I thought we were allowed to make transactions up to the start of the playoffs. I'll re-pickup the two players I dropped in two days since they are on waivers now. No biggie. But I honestly thought that these rules applied for the playoffs, and it isn't the playoffs yet.

Also, I only posted the rules for people to be made be aware of yesterday, after the supposed deadline for roster moves. If anyone wanted to make a roster move I would not think it would be very fair to spring up on someone and say no more roster moves and give no warning. I myself planned to at least pick up a backup TE. And if you want to mirror the RIFC to its fullest extent then have the top 4 teams pick their matchup.

No rules were "sprung" on anyone; I personally thought the RIFC rules were fairly clear and have existed since before the beginning of the season. Matter of factly, I made moves last week fully aware that these were my last moves (of course, unless an IDP, TE or K was questionable or worse).
As regards your final commment (if you want to mirror the RIFC to its fullest extent then have the top 4 teams pick their matchup), if I understand correctly that is a separate playoff structure for fun; not the real RIFC.
I have no problems with the moves Da Bomb made (very astute); although if we were allowed to make moves, I believe that, at the very least, Nerfherders would have made a claim for Moats to replace Westbrook (just a guess on my part.)

This is true and not true at the same time. Yes, these rules existed since the beginning, but in the RIFC thread. Since it isn't a requirement to look there, it is possible to conceive that someone may have not known about this rule.
I just misinterpreted the rules, thinking roster moves can me made up until games this week, that's all. I guess I was the only one. And I will be dropping the guys I got, the last thing I want to do is look like someone who's sidestepping the rules.

I'll accept blame on this one guys, same as the trade deadline. I should have posted a heads up, but I forgot.
Has anyone checked the match-ups for the play-offs to make sure they are correct.

so are toilet bowl teams allowed to pick anyone up or not? just curious
good luck everyone. it's been fun (even with a massive collapse in the 2nd half by my team, hehe)

No the toilet bowl teams have the same requirements. They should probably be more restrictive, it wouldn't really be fair to have a toilet bowl team drop a good TE, say Gates or Gonzo, and have the play-off teams fight for them.

From an outsider...The consolation teams in the RIFC are frozen, no add/drops allowed for the reasons that Frick brought up.

Yeah I would have defintely tried to get Moats if I thought I could. Or Gordon, if available.

I just came upon this discovery.
This is from this thread where I first saw the rule.
...Thus, you cannot add or drop a QB, RB, WR, or team Def after the week #14 freeze, period.
Special Notice: I just realized that the above rules, as they were initially stated in the regular season discussion thread, mistakenly referred to week #14 when they should have stated week #13. All of the subsequent discussion seemed to have been based on the correct interpretation - that is, rosters at the end of week #13 are the frozen playoff rosters, subject to the limited injury replacement rules above. But I recognize that if someone read the rule specification literally, they wouild have expected to be able to make "normal" roster adjustments again this week.
For now, I'm going to go with the corrected version of the rule, because it appears that all discussion was based on this rule. But if there are managers who feel they have been duped, please speak up, because I realize that there was ambiguity.
So I guess I followed what I read after all? (Since I didn't really read the discussion). I dropped my two players after I saw this so I don't know what to think now, though I'd still like to have a backup TE. Up to your discretion, of course.

So Letter J and Nerfherders what made you think you couldn't make roster changes? Did you read the RIFC thread religiously?

Da Bomb,
To answer your question, yes… I have followed all of the threads of the RIFC since I made the decision to participate this year in these fantasy football leagues.
Having seen the development of the thread you made reference to, for clarification, some three weeks ago, I asked my younger brother (I_A_C, who received an invite to the RIFC this year) the status of the particular rule that we are now discussing. My brother assured me that the rule was as I stated earlier: (1) once the freeze occurred for week 13, no changes could be made to any players at the following positions: QB, RB, WR and TE; (2) once the freeze occurred for week 13, changes could be made, provided that the player to be released was questionable or worse, at the following positions: TE, K, DE, LB and DB (Not that it matters, but it is for this reason that I am only carrying the minimum number of players at these positions, opting to carry more players at, for lack of a better term, the skill positions.).
I understand the confusion, as a result of the original error and perhaps I am at somewhat of an advantage (as regards clarification of the rule) having a sibling participating in the RIFC.

A bit of irony here:
Back in week 7 I had made a last minute roster change, grabbing a WR off of FA. But when I added him, I forgot to click the little box that would add him to both rosters. Because of this, I lost both games instead of being 1-1.
That would have put me at 16-10 and in the 3rd seed. I would have drawn Shortbus Stalwarts in the first round and gotten creamed. hehe.

I was trying to decide between PacMan and Farrior for my IDP Flex, and of course my decision ultimately ended my season. Although some would say my season ended when I drafted Moss. It was a good experience though - I enjoyed the competitiveness of the league and I am looking forward to AAA next year.
Merry Christmas to everyone, and good luck to those who are still playing.

Well got to say that was quite the exciting end to Letter_J's playoff run... with McNair & Baltimore D on the Bench (That's 56 Point worth)... with either one of those two in... it wouldn't have been an even close contest. Ugh... Crazy.

Yeah I noticed that. Still, the GB defense only needed 12 points to win and completely failed against the worst offense in the NFL. That was quite a shock.
