I have added the players to the teams. Check your team carefully to make sure you have been given the players you drafted. Check their teams. There are more duplicate and similar names out there than I could gave imagined.
Please post here when you have checked and confirmed your roster. Let me know of any mistakes
here.
Kevin Ogletree WR Dal is not in the Fantrax player pool. I have used Charles Rogers as a placeholder until Ogletree is added.
Fantrax allows a waiver run to be set for a certain day, but does not indicate what time waivers run. I have e-mailed them to ask them.
Fantrax does not seem to have an option to allow the commissioner to set the waiver order. This could be a problem. We may have to do manual waivers with claims being e-mailed to me and entered by me. (I would e-mail my claims to someone else as corroboration.) I have asked Fantrax about this as well. |

Having made a claim, (with the system set to waivers to run Tuesday) the screen tells me that the claim will be processed Wednesday morning at 3 AM ET. So I believe I'll leave the waiver date at Tuesday (or really, overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday).
The waiver order list seems to have set to the way we want by default, so manual waivers will not be necessary.

After two requests of Fantrax Kevin Ogletree has been added ro rhe player pool and then transferred to IHP's team.
A few reminders:
Waivers run at 3 AM Wednesday morning.
After waivers unclaimed players not just dropped will be FCFS (First Come First Served). I do not see any Fantrax option that allows me to put players dropped in waivers back on waivers again. I will have to see how Fantrax handles this as a default.
Claim order: the team that drafted last in the 1st round has the 1st waivers pick.
Waivers are reseeded each week according to the standings for the first six weeks of the season, so waiver claims you make this week do not affect your waiver position for next week.

Waivers ran as scheduled. The dropped players were automatically put back on waivers. I have set a second waiver run (for the dropped players only) for overnight between Thursday and Friday. I don't see any dropped players who will be in Thursday's game.
The system did not reset the waiver order (putting successful claimants at the end) and I can't see a way to do it. If two or more managers claim the same player and the system gives him to the wrong manager, I will manually transfer him to the right team.
All other players are free agents and available first come first served.
Players in Thursday's game are set to lock 5 minutes before game time.

Looking at the live scoring something seems wrong with the team defenses. Both teams are getting 30-40 points for their yards allowed. It seems the totals are getting higher as they allow more yards. For some reason I cant see the league settings so I don't know if it is first day glitches on there part or something entered wrong.
Also both teams are showing that they have allowed 6 points, with the score 7-7, like it not counting the extra points.

Manual Waiver Notice:
Fantrax did not run waivers overnight for the players dropped on the first waiver run, as I had set it for. We will have to do a manual waiver process. If you want to claim one of these players send an e-mail to me indicating the name of the player(s) you want and the player(s) to be dropped for them. If I have a claim I'll send a copy of my e-mail to myself to someone below me in the waiver order as corroboration.
The manual waiver deadline for this special run is Saturday at 12 noon ET
Next week waivers start to run overnight Wednesday/Thursday (3 A.M. Thursday morning to be exact).

8: The big glitch was a mistake on my part. When I entered the Total Yards scoring for team defences, I missed their default check in the "Cumulative" box, so more yards against was giving the team more points! That has been corrected.
Fantrax still isn't counting extra points as points scored against the defence. I'll have to contact them and see if that's intentional. Made no difference in the points last night.

There were two claims in the waiver period. Both were for the same player. The one that succeeded was;
Touchdowners 123 claims Mike Bell, RB, New Orleans, drops Quentin Demps, DB, Phi
I can't seem to transfer Bell to his new team because the system still considers him to be on waivers. So, drussell, please cancel the waiver claim you had made on Fantrax and I'll try to transfer again.

1. Mike Bell has been transferred.
2. If Fantrax gets busy or goes down aroumd game time, any manager should post here any lineup changes you wished to make and I will enter them retroactively if necessary. Lineup changes must be made 5 minuyes before game time.

Is the scoring for points allowed calculating accuartely? Seemed like I should have had more points for Jets (only got 7). I tried to check scoring page on Fantrax but it game me an error message this afternoon.

Looks clearly wrong. I won't look into it further until Fantrax gets a chance to update fully Monday morning.
As a side note I invite everyone to compare their points to what they should get under RIFC scoring rules (I've linked to them before; they are at something like post 36 of the RIFC Getting Started thread.). In particular I urge those who have lost a close game on Tuesday morning to persobally check their points.

1. Fantrax is getting closer with the Jets but they're not there yet. They have the TD as being scored against the defense when it wasn't -- it was scored against the offense. The Jets should have 23 points. You can check your players against how RIFC has it here.
If Fantrax doesn't correct it by tomorrow morning I'll make a manual adjustment.
2. Fantrax says it has no way to make all players go on waivers when their games lock. They will be adding a function for this soon, maybe even this week. Until they do we will need to run manual waivers with claims made by e-mail. We will do this either Wednesday or Thursday, and can discuss the time later.
In the meantime don't pick anyone up (unless you are dropping one player going tonight and picking up another).

1. Fantrax says it will correct the Jets scoring sometime today.
2. I have reversed the two illegal pickups that were made. Pickups after a team locks for the week, and all pickups now, can be made only through waivers. I have disabled all FA pickups got now; they will be reenabled agter I process the waiver claims.
3. When should the waiver deadline be, since we are running manually this week? I'm thinking Wednesday at midnight ET, allowing everybody to take a good look at things before sending on claims.
4. Guidelines for manual waiver claims:
Basic format;
"1. Pick up Able Baker, RB, NYJ; drop Charlie Denver, RB, NYG."
If you are making multiple claims, you may request conditional drops depending on whether earlier claims have been accepted. E.g., a second claim to the above might be:
"2.Pick up Ernie Ferrer, DB, Oak; drop (Charlie Denver, RB, NYG or George Hamilton, DB, SD)."
There is no limit to the amount of claims you may make.
Use a subject line including the words "waiver claims" so I don't open your claim before the deadline.

Toral, the TM DEF scoring at our league shows “From 14 to 20, award -1 points for every” under points allowed. This should be +1 point, and it will affect my scoring for the week, along with probably a few others’. I see 10 NFL teams that allowed between 14-20 points this week.

Hearing no dissent, the manual waiver deadline (waiver claims sent to me by e-mail) will be midnight ET tonight.
As a practical matter I'll probably adjudicate the claims tomorrow morning.

Toral, are you talking about waivers or claims? Waivers being the players that were actually waived last week, and claims being players who were Free Agents up until their teams played this weekend (like Meachem and Finnegan).

Claims have been adjudicated and players transferred. If you have any question why someone else got a player in preference to you, e-mail me. (The order of priority is the reverse of the standings, and successful claimants go to the bottom of the list.)
Coaches can now pick up free agents first come first served until 5 minutes before the player's next game.

FanTrax has made its third attempt to score the New York Jets defence, and still hasn't got it right.
First they attributed a TD scored against the offense to the defense -- 16 pts -- wrong.
Then they removed 6 points from the pts scored against defense for the TD but left 1 point for the extra point -- 20 pts -- wrong.
Now they have correctly added 10 points for a shutout for the defense but left the "1" under pts scored against the defense, giving the defense an extra 7 points credit and 30 points -- wrong.
Hopefully they'll get to the correct number -- 23 points -- eventually.
No results are affected, but the 7th and 8th playoff spots here go to the highest point scorers outside the top 6 HTH qualifiers, so if they don't fix it by early next week I'll correct it manually.

1. Looking at the scores yesterday during the games, I saw that Three and Out and coldwater coyotes were registering a big fat zero. Looking at their rosters I saw that they had illegal lineups; both had 3 WRs instead of 2 WRs and a WR/TE flex. I corrected the errors.
When you change your lineups please check the top of the page for an Illegal Lineup warning.
2. Remember -- the only claims allowed today are those dropping a player playing tonight and picking up a player playing tonight.
Other than that, no claims please.
3. I am going to try automating the free agent claims this week. If everything works alright, claims should run Thursday morning at 3 A.M. I'll let you know tomorrow morning what's happening.

I'm trying to automate the free agent claims this week using different settings. Deadline is Thursday morning at 3 AM. It might be a good idea to keep some notes on who you claimed in case it doesn't work and we have to run them again manually.
I don't think Fantrax will allow me to set the waiver order correctly to run waivers for those players dropped to pick up free agents so we may still have to do that manually, but that's a much smaller number of players to deal with, all of whom have already been dropped by somebody.

The waivers don't seem to be working as in the past. (in the following, the letters represent players) Normally you could claim A for M, then B for M, then C for M in first waiver pick. For the second waiver pick, you could claim B for N and then C for N.
fantrax will not allow you to claim a player more than once...thus if you get A in the first waiver pick, you are not able to get either B or C later...because you have already selected them.

I have just found the same thing. If there is no way around this we are losing much of the value of automated claims.
Another problem has occurred with the claims. When I make a claim, I am told that it will be resolved Wednesday morning at 3 A.M. I set the claims to run Wednesday, believing they would run overnight between Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe my mistake, although I think anyone setting waivers to run "Wednesday" would be surprised to look at the site Wednesday morning and find they had already run.
But the bigger problem is that I have reset the date -- and the site continues to say that claims will run Wednesday at 3 A.M. I have tried a number of methods and cannot find a way to change the date.
I have sent in a complaint to Fantrax. I will be out from about an hour from now rill after 10 A.M. If there is no way to fix this I will have to cancel automated claims this week and we will run manual claims by e-mail again.
Make a record of the claims you have made in case I need to cancel the auromated claims and they are erased.

No response from Fantrax yet so we will have to run free agent claims manually rhis week.
E-mail your claims to me by THURSDAY AT 3 A.M. ET. I will resolve them and add players to rosters.
Guidelines for manual waiver claims:
One possible format:
"1. Drop Able Baker, RB, NYJ;
pick up Charlie Denver, RB, NYG."
If you are making multiple claims, you may request conditional drops depending on whether earlier claims have been accepted. E.g., a second claim to the above might be:
"2. Drop Ernie Ferrer, DB, Oak;
Pick up 1. Charlie Denver, DB, NYG;
2. George Hamilton, DB, SD."
There is no limit to the number of claims you may make.
Use a subject line including the words "waiver claims" so I don't open your claim before the deadline.
Don't include a question about claim procedure with your claim, because I won't see it before the deadline.

1. Well, that was one helluva mess. Taxman submitted his claims by the automated system. Just like last night, these claims ran despite the fact that the system was set to allow only commissioner add/drops. Worse, his claims revealed a Fantrax bug that the other league using it had discovered. It is possible to make multiple claims dropping one player and picking up others. The system will drop the same player multiple times and pick up as many players as you claim. Thus Taxman was able to drop Michael Boley 3 times and pick up 2 different players. In total he dropped 4 players and picked up 9.
2. This bug raises the issue of whether the automated system will ever be usable if Fantrax does not fix this bug. I will think this through the next day or two.
3. I had already decided to treat all the claims made under the automated system as legal claims despite the fact that they were not submitted by e-mail as requested. That includes the early claims made Sunday and Monday after the game freeze and the claims run both Tuesday and Wednesday after the automated system had been cancelled for this week. Considering the change of plans it seemed like the fairest thing to do.
14 successful claims were made and the players have been transferred.
4. I will open the system for FSFC claims on free agents today (Thursday) as soon after 1 P.M. as I can get to a computer. Players dropped in successful claims aren't going to the waiver wire as they are supposed to so so they can just be picked up as FAs.

Ordinarily I would not readjudicate claims to include claims after the deadline, but if I was being strict this week I should have ignored all the claims sent through the automated system. Having accepted them I believe I should accept these that were sent in correctly.
In addition something may have been funny with my e-mail yesterday. At 11:30 today I received an e-mail claim that was sent at 4:03 P.M. yesterday. (It was a duplicate of an automated claim so it had already been considered.)
FA Pickups will not resume until the claims have been adjusted to account for Footwedge's claims, which sounds like not until tonight.

Footwedge was good enough to send me a screen shot of his e-mail which leaves no doubt that it was sent in plenty of time, and to the right address. Still hasn't arrived.
The claims have been re-resolved. Two owners have changed players. Taxman loses Bobby Wade WR KC and gets his original player back. Motley Crue loses A Jordan LB Phi and gets instead D Whitner DB Buf.
I have two ideas to reduce the possibility of this happening in the future. The first is to give you my alternate address, a gmail address, above. I would suggest that you cc any claim e-mails to this address.
FCFS pickups open approx one hour from now, at about 6:45 P.M.

1. We have to manually adjust the standings to add 6 points to each team defense that scores a touchdown returning a blocked punt or field goal. (See discussion at the Fantrax message board last week). In order to be able to score blocked punt points, we would have needed to use Team Defense/ST as a position rather than Team Defense.
My inclination to make these adjustments Monday so that people watching MNF and live scoring know what the real score is. I'm open to arguments for adding them as soon as I find out about them on Sunday, or for waiting until Tuesday.
San Francisco had one this week.
2. Fantrax says it has fixed the bug that allowed multiple picks for each drop in automated claims last week. So we'll try to automate our claims again this week. Claims are to run at THURSDAY morning at 3 A.M.
The only legal claims today are ones which both drop and pick up players from Carolina or Dallas.
I will turn off owner claims around 10 P.M. tonight and claims for Thursday may be made from then on.

Automated claims are turned on. Fantrax still seems to allow alternative claims through alternative drops ("Drop A, Claim B. Drop A, Claim C.")
We must expect that there is some chance that their bug of last week will not be fixed, or that the system will otherwise fail. It would be both prudent and helpful if you made a copy of your claims when complete in case questions arise whether the right claims have been accepted.
Check this thread on Thursday to make sure the claim process was good.

Game notes:
Hey, how 'bout that shrewdness picking up Edelman at quarter to one after hearing that Welker was out! Except that if I'd just stuck with Berrian I would have beat coldwater coyotes by 1.4 points and stuck him with a 1-5.
Or Roy Williams could have caught the ball in the endzone.
4-2. Not bad for a guy whose first 4 picks were Steve Slaton, Brian Westbrook, Dwayne Bowe and Roy Williams.

Note that the handful of players drafted late last week are listed as being on the waiver wire, not as free agents. That wasn't intended but Fantrax won't let me change it.
Waiver claims run FRIDAY and SATURDAY at 3 A.M. The waiver wire should include mall players dropped today. If it doesn't, and just makes the players FAs. we can just accept this or we're back to e-mail waivers and manual transfers.

This one is a real puzzler.
First, Motley Crue 48 -- when I click on FA Claim Order I get a screen called Waiver Wire Claim Order (which is a different thing). However I multiple checked to ensure that my settings -- reverse order of standings, non-serpentine -- were correct. I had to hope that despite what the screen said, claims would be processed in the right order.
As it turned out, if claims were processed in the order they were listed, the system seems to have used neither order. Right from the beginning, however, Fantrax has not listed claims processed at the same time (3:49 A.M. in this case) in the same order in which they were processed, which makes figuring this out a real mystery.
So...first of all I am going to have to check to determine if the claims have in fact been processed wrongly.
Touchdowners123's claim should have been processed first. It was. So far so good.
Next in line should have been coldwater coyotes. However, El Chupacabra's claim is listed next (for Johnson, also denied). Next listed for coldwater coyotes is Drop Brady Quinn QB, pick up Josh Johnson QB (denied). The next coldwater coyotes claim listed, Drop Brandon Stokley WR, pick up Denver DEF, was denied. Denver had already been awarded to Toral Wheatfarmers. If this was coldwater coyotes' second priority claim. it should gave been accepted. Next coldwater coyotes claim listed was for Abram Elam S. Also denied. (System obviously doesn't like this guy.) Eventually a coldwater coyotes claim --drop Brady Quinn QB, pick up Kyle Boller QB, was accepted.
So question #1 is -- what claim did coldwater coyotes submit as his first priority, and second priority? If coldwater coyotes gave Quinn for Boller a higher priority than his claims for Denver and Elam, it is possible that the adjudication is correct but in the wrong order. I will e-mail coldwater coyotes to find this out.
I have tried to turn claims off while investigating this, but the system won't let me. There is a waiver wire run tonight, actually FRIDAY at 3 A.M., so go ahead and make claims if you have any.
Fantrax has now added a commissioner feature allowing manual adjustment of the waiver wire order. That may be a help, but I don't really have any confidence in anything about the system.
Owners: please post here if your claims were not adjudicated in the order you submitted them (reading the processing from the bottom up beginning with Touchdowners123's claim for Josh Johnson.)

Claims and Waivers will be by e-mail this week. I don't want to do automated claims unless I can manually alter the claim order. Without that we would have to go to manual claims after week 7 anyway, since claim order is not reset according to standings after that.
Claim deadline is Wednesday at midnight. I will not adjudicate claims until Thursday morning. To ensure your claims arrive do 3 things,
1) send them by e-mail to this address;
2) send a copy to my secondary address, which is a gmail.com address beginning with alanstewart3533;

Interesting race. Note that if the season ended today Three and Out, in 10th place at 3-5, would be in the playoffs, having the most points after the top 6 teams HTH. And there are 7 teams within 100 points of the point leader, and 2 more just behind that.

Claims and Waivers will be by e-mail this week. Claim deadline is Wednesday at 11:59 P.M.
Please put your team name on the top of your list of players.
I will not adjudicate claims until Thursday morning. To ensure your claims arrive do 3 things,
1) send them by e-mail to this address;
2) send a copy to my secondary address, which is an @gmail.com address beginning with alanstewart3533;
3) post here or in the Fantrax forum that you have sent claims. I won't adjudicate until I've obtained yours.
Claims for Austin Collie and Brandon Pettigrew after their games locked have been reversed. They are free agents.

League Notes:
1. Quirks of H-T-H Football Dep't:
Three and Out at 4-6 and Touchdowners123 at 4-6 both have more points than Footwedge at 7-3.
2. Fantrax has finally fixed the top of the standings which have been wrong all year.
;)
3. I'll be posting and e-mailing a league poll later today or tomorrow asking what time coaches would prefer that first-come-first-served pickups open after free agent claims are made: around 1 P.M. Eastern, around 5 or 6 Eastern, or around 9 ot 10 P.M. Eastern. I will also an unveil an idea that I have for eliminating the inherent commissioner advantage in immediate FCFS pickups caused by the fact that I will always be right at the computer when pickups open because I have to be to turn it on. This will be more of a problem starting next week when free-agent claim order is no longer reset each week, and people use FA claims less often.

The reset of claim/waiver order today according to the standings is the last time we do this. From now on we're on rolling waivers. Every successful FA/waiver claim puts you at the bottom of the list. Yhe claim order at the end of this week is the order used at the start of next week.
Because claim order now becomes more important, we are going to have to do full waivers for all players dropped. I'm going to try one more time to automate this part of the process; I'll let you know whether it's worked or not Thursday morning.

Because a successful free agent claim moves a team to the bottom of the list, more people will avoid claims and wait till first-come-first-served claims open to pick up players.
To give everyone an equal opportunity to pick players up FCFS, FCFS player pickups can now be made on this thread from the time claims are supposed to open until I announce here that FCFS claims have been enabled onsite. It works like this
-- I announce that FCFS pickups will open at 6 P.M.
-- starting at 6:00 P.M. you can make your claim on this thread, by posting something like
"Drop Jones, Pick Up Adam Smith"
-- remember that the claim has to be posted at 6:00 GuruTime or after to be valid. A claim posted at 5:59 is invalid.
-- let's say I don't get to the computer to turn on FCFS claims until 6:15 P.M. First I'll look at this thread to see if any claims have been made here in the previous 15 minutes. If so, I'll transfer them manually. Then I'll turn FCFS claims on on Fantrax. Then I'll come back here and post that claims have been turned on and have to be made on site.

1. FA Claims have been adjudicated and players transferred. 10 claims were allowed from 3 managers.
2. FA pickups resume today at 9 P.M. Results of the poll have been inconclusive so far; but today I can only be sure of being around in the evening so 9 P.M. is the time for today. Half the league has yet to vote in the poll so a standard time hasn't been set yet. Note that starting this week you can make a claim by posting it in the Rotoguru Forum League Thread starting at 9 P.M. The idea of this is to eliminate the commissioner advantage of always being around when Fantrax claims are enabled, and to avoid frustration for managers if I happen to be 15 or 20 minutes late in enabling pickups. If this is unclear let me know.
3. If you try to make a FA claim on Fantrax before 9 P.M. you will get a message saying that you have to place a bid on the player. This is the only way I can prevent claims till 9 P.M. while still using the automated waiver process (see below). Hopefully you will figure out that FA claims aren't being accepted yet.
3. The players dropped in the FA claims are on automated waivers. Remember that if you claim a player on waivers you go to the bottom of the FA/Waiver order got next week's FA claims as well. Waivers are set to run tonight, Friday and Saturday at 9 P.M.. We'll see in this experiment whether Fantrax allotment of players and adjustment of waiver order is working yet (if anyone wants any of the dropped players).

Yuck that didn't work. Managers must have made "bids" on their FAs and the system processed them.
I give up. Next week waivers will have to be done manually as well. No more experimenting hoping that Fantrac has finally fixed its system.
If anyone was going to claim any of the players that went to someone else at 9:00, and posts so here or on Fantrax before, say, 10:30 P.M. and before the manager who had the successful claim posts here or otherwise indicates that he is/was ready to make a claim before anyone else can,then the person who posts here will gey the player and I'll reverse the earlier transaction.

Suddenly things don't look so good for the 'Farmers. Still in 5th place at 10-6, but only in 10th place in points, meaning I have to get good schedule luck to make the playoffs. If Steve Slaton could hold onto the ball it would help.

Touchdowners123 and I were both unable to alter his lineup to make Spencer Havner active at tight end this morning, undoubtedly because of his unusual TE/LB eligibility. However he informed me that that was his desire. I made Zach Miller, on bye, active there so that Fantrax would not count the lineup as illegal and have now made a manual adjustment to add Havner's points for the day (1.04).

CLAIMS ARE BEING OPENED EARLY TODAY BECAUSE OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, TO MAXIMIXE THE TIME AVAILABLE TO MAKE YOUR CLAIMS
1. FA Claims have been adjudicated and players transferred. 4 claims were allowed from 3 managers.
2. FA pickups resume today at 1 P.M. Remember, if you are in a hurry to make a claim as soon as possible after 1 P.M. you can make it on the RotoGuru Forum thread up and until I've posted a notice that claims have been opened on Fantrax.
3. The 4 players dropped this morning are on waivers although I cannot designate them so at Fantrax. They can be acquired by e-mail waiver claim due today at 12:30 P.M. Remember that claiming a player on waivers will put you at the bottom of the list for next week. These players can be picked up as free agents like other players starting at 1:00 P.M.

RIFC Playoff Rules:
Playoffs
8 teams
Top 6 W/L records are seeded 1-6
Top remaining total points are seeded 7-8
Teams with equivalent W/L records are seeded based on head-to-head first, then total points
Bracket is fixed (no reseeding after each round)
Players at the primary skill positions (QB, RB, WR) and team defenses may not be added for any reason during the playoffs. Free agents at these positions will be locked out after the final regular season game. You may drop a player at one of these positions, but once dropped, that player cannot be added later.
Players at the other positions (TE, PK, IDP) may be added or dropped according to normal regular season guidelines, subject to playoff claiming priorities, if applicable.
Following the final regular season game, priorities will be reset based on playoff seed, with the top seed getting the top priority. Thereafter, throughout the playoffs, priorities will again adjust only when a claim is awarded.
If a playoff game ends in a tie score, the team with the better seed shall advance.
Team which are not still active in the Championship playoffs may not make any transactions - adds or drops - even if they are still competing in the Consolation bracket.

Claims and Waivers will be by e-mail this week. Claim deadline is Wednesday at 11:59 P.M.
Please put your team name on the top of your list of claims.
RIFC rules restrict who can be picked up during the playoffs. Check the rules and make sure that you have the backups you want before the playoffs start.
Claim order is reset at the beginning of the playoffs so there's no need to hold back on claims to preserve your claim order position this week.
I will not adjudicate claims until Thursday morning. To ensure your claims arrive do 3 things,
1) send them by e-mail to this address;
2) send a copy to my secondary address, which is alanstewart3533@gmail.com;
3) post on the league thread at the RotoGuru Message forum or in the Fantrax forum that you have sent claims. Then I won't adjudicate until I've obtained yours.
We will run waivers by e-mail for all players who are dropped. Waiver claims will be due, and FA claims will be opened, at a time to be announced before the start of Thursday night's game.

Some managers have been unable to change their lineups on Fantrax -- drop-down menus are not appearing. If you can't make a change post it here or on Fantrax. Make sure you post any changes for tonight at least 5 minutes before game time.

Hey Toral,
This is currently being discussed in AAA#1 but I thought I would bring it to your attention also. Robert meachem scored a touchdown on a crazy fumble recovery after an INT. He hasn't been given any points for the play thus far. I believe Judy is planning to contact guru about how it should be scored.
Oh, and of course, Meachem is on my team AAA bound.
thanks

I believe the ruling was he should get points for TD, but not for a FF, FR and the return yards as only IDP's can score those.
That being said tonight's game has a lot of seeding implications.

6 points have been added to AAA Bound for Meacham's TD.

Quoting Guru on RIFC rules:
"A few reminders about roster additions during the playoffs:
1. Teams in the Consolation bracket MAY NOT add players for the duration of the playoffs.
2. Teams eliminated from the Championship bracket may no longer add players for the duration of the playoffs.
3. Teams still alive in the Championship bracket may not add players at the following positions: QB, RB, WR, Team defense. Players at those positions may be dropped, but then are lost for the duration.
The system will not automatically impose these restrictions. I will monitor them manually, and any illegal roster addition will be reversed."

To clarify, can we add skill players this week as the playoffs haven't started or can we no longer add them?

FA Claims will reopen at 5 P.M. You can make them here starting right then.
1 FA claim was processed this morning.
Remember teams may not add players at the following positions: QB, RB, WR, Team defense. Players at those positions may be dropped, but then are lost for the duration.

3 lower seeds seem to have prevailed. Touchdowners123, Motley Crue, art's in the Hall, and AAA Bound are our semi-finalists, barring miraculous performances by a few folk like Karlos Dansby.

Fantrax finally has their pretty brackets up -- unfortunately they got the bracket wrong. (The brackets should be set up so that the #1 and #2 teams can meet in the final, should it not?)
I believe the matchups will be
Touchdowners123 v. Motley Crue
AAA Bound v. art's in the Hall
If you think this is wrong, let me know.

That looks correct to me. I thought I was cooked when my qb only scored me 9 pts, but having AP go off helped a ton. Thank you for all of your work Toral.

I simply treated art in the Hall's premature pickup as a claim, since there was no competing claim.
Open claims back at 6 P.M.

Congratulations to 4-seed Motley Crue and 6-seed art's in the hall who will meet in the finals.
There will be one last e-mail FA claim period ending WEDNESDAY at 7:30 P.M. I will open FA claims for the last time (sniff) quickly thereafter, at 8:00 P.M.
It appears that I needed to enter the games in a different order to make the brackets look right. I will contact Fantrax to see if changing the order of the listings retroactively will screw anything up.

I submitted claims for this week.
I wanted to take a minute to thank Toral for his excellent work as commissioner of this league. I know it wasn't easy dealing with Fantrax and this can be a pretty thankless job even when the software isn't problematic. You tirelessly worked to make sure things went the way they were supposed to in the RIFC AA and you were responsive, knowledgeable, and fair. I'd be happy to see you Commish any league I play in moving forward. Your efforts were noticed and very much appreciated.

Thank you MC, I appreciate it. The players in this league made commishing an enjoyable experience, despite the best efforts of Fantrax and of Steve Slaton, Brian Westbrook, Dwayne Bowe and Roy Williams (my 1st 4 draft choices).
Claims processed and claims reopened.

PLAYOFF LEAGUE
I set up a playoff league for RIFC folks through MFL in which each player gets used once
throughout. I've set it up with 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK and 1 DST. As far as I can tell, we
can have as many teams as we want. I set the scoring to match the RIFC set up.
Do we want any IDP's? I was thinking of 1 DL, 1 LB and 1 DB??? Chime in with thoughts. It
might make it too "messy".
If you want an invitation, my email is listed.

Thanks, art's in the hall. I was actually at the game last night agonizing over Peterson's one-yard jaunts into the end zone. Hillenmeyer's name was frequently mentioned on the PA, so I knew I had a chance. Fantasy football doesn't get any more suspenseful than that.

Congrats to Motley Crue on a great win and to art's on the hall for a great final game. MC was on top of things from day one and so I can't say I was surprised that he made it.
We'll send a good representative to the top next year. Maybe the morning line favourite, 2010?
Thanx again to everybody.
