Alot of activity in this league!
So ummm.. how do people like the website so far? Live scoring seems to work okay, just wish you could see both team's score breakdowns (and all the teams' scores) on the same page. I do like that it's connected to rotoworld news so you get the latest and greatest updates.
I noticed the scheduling is a little odd. In Fanball the schedule was set up so you go:
1,2
3,4
5,6
7,8
9,10
11,12
13,1
2,3
4,5
6,7
and so on
This league is all jumbled up. One of the teams I play this week I also play in week 3. Just different.

I think the Fantrax format is far inferior to that which Fanball had- can't see both teams, can't see both games, multiple clicks necessary even to get to points, can't see lineups early well inferior in just about every aspect.
All this is in addition to our site not showing receiving TD points, which I think is a setup ommission and not a FanTrax issue.
So far with no ability to field multiple teams for multiple games and the live scoring deficiencies I'd rate FanTrax as a C- but still functional, just not a site where I'd choose to play and ceetainly not one where I watch in progrss scores but certainly better than nothing.

Ummm yeah that is a big ommission. I checked the rules a couple of times over the last couple weeks and just did catch that.
There are no points set up for receiving touchdowns!
Hopefully it is not too late to change this. Otherwise we will have to manually change scores every week.

This actually reminds me of the league in AA where the league was accidentally set up so that team defenses got credit for receiving yards and touchdowns. This did not hardly affect the regular season at all but it did the finals game, in which I lost because Buffalo had two returns for touchdowns.
But that time they didn't go back and change the scores.

I found something else.
Pittsburgh Defense got 65 points last night!
I think it is a problem with the yardage points.
It's giving those points for every threshold, so it's giving 10 points for 0-124 yards, and then ALSO giving 9 points for 124-200, and so on. So they got 54 points from the yards, 11 from everything else.
I think it should be 10 points for 0-124, and -1 for every threshold following.

I found another issue:
Tk as listed on the scoring sheet is actually combined tackles, so it's essentially counting assists as 1.5 points. This should be solo tackles.

Checking the live scoring, it's kind of annoying not to see your MNF players. It scared me when I only saw Driver as my WR and I had to check to make sure I had Moss and Owens in my lineup.
Also I have 2 people playing in the noon (CST) games this week. That's interesting...

Re 11-14.
Per the website, it will be fixed. Some of the new things with the upgrades will be:
* Both teams will be displayed on 1 screen side-by-side.
* All players, stats and scores for the ENTIRE matchup (not just the current day) will be displayed.
* All future scoring periods will be viewable
* Live chat rooms
* "On the field" and "Red zone" legend will be fixed.
* Any other inaccuracies you may have come across will be fixed (PLEASE REPORT THESE!)
Anyone have any additions?

There is still something wrong with team defense scoring.
The Dolphins have -4 points showing, which is impossible unless you give up 35+points.
They have 2 sacks and 1 point for giving up 19 points, but it seems like yardage is starting at zero and going negative from there, which would account for the -4. I should have 3 points for yards, not -7.

Another thing that seems wrong is that IDP's are not getting credit for kick and punt return yards. Leodis McKelvin had 97 return yards last night and didn't get credit for any of those. Can you fix that, it won't help me win my game but certainly is important.

I don't see where they are going to keep track of our point scored for the year, which come playoff time could be a hassle for you wolfer. Either I'm missing it or they aren't showing it.
Also the main league standings is treating the league like it's soccer and hockey, giving us points for wins. Will I get points if I lose on a Monday night games ie: an Overtime loss? :P
Also the player note for TO is exactly what I was saying the entire game: "Trent Edwards didn't try to hit Owens or Lee Evans on too many deep routes. Why go out and get Owens if your not going to play to his strengths? He should see the ball a lot more than three times from here on out, but Edwards needs to take some shots downfield."
Also when did a huge night consist of no TDs? I'm glad TO got 140 yards, but if he's just going to do that week in and week out then I'm going to be a little disappointed. First round picks are supposed to score TDs when they have huge nights... I guess I should be happy to be 1-1 though with some of the other preformances I had.

I feel for you Tree, I went to sleep around half-time of the 2nd game and it appeared one of us was going to be in the top 4 of points scored and still get a loss.
It appears you can see points by week or YTD, so hopefully it won't be that bad to figure out the last two qualifiers.

While I am sitting at 2-0, I could just as easily be 0-2 given my RB's performance (I.E. If Kyle's team scored some TD's). Just happy that my WR/TE's carried me. With Pittsburgh ready to shut down Forte week 2, i'm going to need another big week from Peyton and the WR's again. As long as my team can give me 130-140 each week, I'll be there at the end.

Overall I am also willing to give them a chance to work the bugs out. They did promise an upgrade on the scoring page, and I want to see everything that they add before I pass judgement.

Got to admit it, despite my two wins this week (at least I think I won) being the guineau pig for FanTrax is getting old fast. Multiple scoring errors, unwatchable live scoring, not even being able to see your own players opponents while setting a roster (one roster for 2 games) and now the waiver wire issue (thanks Beezer for your integrity) this is getting hard to take. I honestly have never enjoyed a 2 win week less but hopefully by Saturday night I will remember only the 2 wins and not the journey to get there??

Yahoo isn't an option since they don't allow for double headers. That's an requirement that has black-listed a number of sites.
I have to agree with Tree, have none of the developers ever seen or visited a fantasy site before? Some of the missing items are just idiotic.

[34] I'm in one league on Fanball this year, and it is terrible. They made a number of design changes, and there have been as many glitches as you've had on this site. Some scoring still isn't correct.
So far, the RIFC experience on mfl.com has been good. It's a complex system to set up - but seems to run well, and the processing seems to work as it should. We were hoping that Fantrax could offer a viable, free alternative, but if they fail to deliver, we'll probably move all RIFC leagues to MFL next year and just deal with the cost.

Here's hoping ESPN gets on the ball and fixes some of the problems that we have with them (double headers and defensive yards allowed are the main ones I see)
Fantrax has been OK, I haven't tried to make a waiver claim, as I haven't felt the need to make one yet so I can't comment on that part, but if they actually fix the live scoring then I can see us continuing using it.

totally forgot about the whole doubleheader thing. Even if they did make it an option, my guess is that it would only be available for "Yahoo Plus". Like Frick, I also agree with Tree on live scoring. They should also have a "Box Score" like CBS, Fanball, Yahoo, etc. It would at least allow you to see where your team is stacking up in comparison to the rest of the league. Oh well...Fantrax does the trick, albeit not user-friendly.

It's all there in some form or another, you just have to go through extra steps.
Fantrax will also live update your roster page, so you can click on that and get all of your team's score, and then flip to other teams' scores from there.
But yeah, it's clunky.

I think I have it figured out. Though (thats my QB) only had 109 at the end of the games, being given credit for return yards from McKelvin gave him 4 extra points.
However, the Jets defense should not be given credit for a shutout. Extra points count against points by defense. That should give the Jets 20 points instead of 23.
Sorry to be nitpicky but this is crap to have a win by 10 turn to a loss three days later.

Based on wolfer's e-mail I understand what he's saying. At the kickoff of the first game EVERY player is going to waivers and unable to be picked up until Wednesday. Only the players who are in games that have started (and subsequently finished) should be on waivers, while players who have yet to play are free agents. Wolfer either has to allow the first to happen, or have all players be free agents and watch to make sure that the players who are added are players who have yet to play.
Promize's 12:10 pickup of Laurent Robinson on Sunday is legal, but Frick's pickups of Mario Manningham and Jacoby Jones yesterday need to be undone. They need to go through the waivers process.
Some analysis of my team: Oh boy, 0-2 is never good, and I expected a week or 2 of these, but my team looks like it's in some serious trouble. My WRs are showing their age and aren't looking like the studs they'd be. Julius Jones is losing his job to some unknown player, Moreno isn't earning the starting job either, so my RBs are in trouble. Cutler struggled in week 1 and had a decent week 2, but Favre is looking less and less like a solid backup. Greg Olsen isn't seeing any where near the amount of looks I thought he would. San Diego's Defense looks like a sieve right now, and Jacksonville's isn't much of an option with their schedule. The only bright spot is my IDPs but I know I can't rely on guys who are considered to have great games when they get 10 points to carry me. This could be a long season if something doesn't turn around.

My team has only had a managerial problem. If I had had Arizona DEF and Manning in both weeks I would be 3-1 and have 80 more points. If Chris Johnson gets 16 instead of 46 I am 0-4 though.

Ugh, my dislike for Fantrax is growing. I put in a claim for Manningham and lost to Slizz (dang players running up the score). Today it says it processed the claim. But I no longer have the player I dropped and I don't have Manningham.
Before it processed the claim it had me behind Slizz still, which it shouldn't since he should have dropped behind me when he claimed Manningham.

So on Tuesday after week 1, I was 1-1 for the week. Then by Thursday I was 0-2. On Saturday I was 1-1 again. On Sunday I was 0-2. Today, again, I am 1-1.
I don't know what they are doing with the scoring, but can we somehow settle this game between me and (I think) Jaydog? I have 119.3 which never changes, but his score keeps fluxuating between 119.5 and 118.5. Win or lose - I want to make sure it's right. It's not NYJ defense which seemed to be the original culprit. Something else is being added and/or taken away.
I also noticed they were giving extra fumble recoveries to defenses which seemed to be fixed today. You all might want to check and make sure your team D scores from last week are correct.

Wow, some close match-ups this week and a couple of games could change if official stats are changed.
What are the official tie-breakers if 2 teams are tied and if more than 2 teams are tied. I thought if it was more than 2, it was Points for, regardless of h2h record, but it's been awhile.

My late round picks are bailing me out, as this week my first 5 picks included 2 DNPs, a 0.9, a 3.8, and a 6.4. It's kind of a fluke but I'll take it.

It's about time I catch a break like that! All kidding aside, it was pointed out in the AA league that we have to keep track of something else. We have to manually add for blocked field goals that are returned for scores. It's a moot point this time, since no one has the the Niners. If that happens again, let me know if I do not catch it.

Big ups to wolfer for exactly what Valkyrie said. We have taken the hard road with a new site that's been untested. When we started off I liked it, but the waiver situation and the live scoring fiasco are just 2 things that have gone wrong.

I generally agree, even though they have fixed alot of things. I still half expect that one game in week 1 to be flipped back and forth a couple more times as they decide what the scoring is.
But it is better than it was when we started. The biggest issue I have is not being able to see future matchups out of the FA pool. It took about 15 mins, and probably ended up going to NFL.com, just to figure out if Stafford has the same bye as Manning or not.

Another 1-1 week, it's always frustrating when you play the high scorer for the week, especially when his best player is on bye. But Goatlocker could have had even more points, so that's a "relief".
It's also a little aggravating to be below .500 right now, but it could be worse. I'm only the 7th highest scoring team and I have the 4th hardest schedule now so I don't have too much complaints, and if the playoffs started today I'd be in! Quarter of the way through the season, and I've got some major question marks on this team (of my "stud" WRs, the highest scoring one is a waiver wire pickup and my best RB is a 6th round pick.) At least my IDPs are keeping me competitive...

Frick, I did it based on Points Against, since that's the easiest way to do it. I could do the record at the time of playing the game, but that's difficult and most of the time not an accurate depiction of the opponent your playing. If you have a hard schedule in FF, it means teams are putting a ton of points up against you (IMHO)

Kyle your only problem is you caught Shep twice while he was hot and Goatlocker once. You should get better this week with match ups against 13 and 14.
Luck plays such a large part matchup wise and I have been very lucky except for my 1 point loss to Promise. This year I have the best fantasy defense when for the last several years I have been among the league leaders in points scored against me. Must admit its a ot more fun on the lucky side of that fence.

See GL, I thought that was planned when I looked at the score. Kind of like how I intentionally went without a kicker this week.
Another 1-1 week it appears, unless I get a really good stat correction or if Tree gets some ridiculous stat correction. But I'm starting to get REALLY ticked with my WRs. Again Jacoby Jones is my leading receiver.

I"m really kicking myself (pun intended) now after I see the final results of my game. Had I picked up a kicker, I would have won the game, but I didn't because I wanted to see what Maroney would do with Fragile Fred out. The answer: he's not going to be on my team next week, that's for sure. If I miss a playoff spot by one game, this is the game I can point to as my demise.

I hate Fantrax. Flat out hate it. I just realized that I have an illegal roster. I have to many IDPs active and I'm missing a flex position.
I'll leave myself at the mercy of the commish, but I wanted to point it out in case Fantrax doesn't. I'm sorry, I've tried to be open minded, but their interface is awful. Trying to remember the league rules for every league is my responsibility, but most other interfaces have at least a somewhat helpful interface to remind of what positions I need to start. That mechanic seems to have been missed by Fantrax.

Faxtrax really has taken away from the whole rotoguru experience for all of us dumb enough to have been the guineau pigs for a new system.
It is not surprising that even with guru's participation in a pseudo-rotoguru test league for basketball in Fantrax that the league can't fill- I doubt they got more than wolfer as a current Fantrax participant-
Back on point- although I hate falling behind Frick an extra IDP at the expense of an offensive flex if done inadvertantly does not confer any added advantage so I say let it pass. I doubt it will be the last Fantrax screw up we see and I don't want to see everyone share in the penalties.

Not illegal, but probably not intended to be used that way. I had always believed the flex WR was only meant to be used in the case that you had two TE's starting.
Either way, it's probably not worth policing.

I think a technical reading might also permit the use of a second TE instead of the 6th IDP- but if that is correct that was also not intended. I guess this just shows that we all should read the rules more closely. At any rate we learned that Frick is unquestionably honest.

Guru's ruling is that the roster is not legal.
I'll leave it up to the league on how to handle it, but the link Wolfer posted only shows the settings, not the actual rules. I'll leave it up to the league.
I would like to propose that my highest scoring IDP is removed from my line-up and no offense player is inserted. Or a player who was on a bye if that's needed to make it legal.
I have a lead in both of my games, but both match-ups are still undecided and we'll let the players on the field determine.
Or I'll forfeit both of my games. Hopefully I would get to keep the points, but I understand if I take a 0 in both games. My error wasn't quite the same as the prior error.

Guess I am about as lucky as it gets- I need 6.5 from Fletcher to beat Shep City last night- Fletcher makes the first 2 tackles of the game and then disappears for 40 minutes. He surges late in the 4th making 2 tackles in a row to draw within 1 and then on the Skins last drive gets hit in the back with a pass (he wasn't even lloking back for the ball) and gets a PD for my last point and I win by .26 . Makes up a little fory 1 point loss to promise but I do feel sorry for jay not because he lost but for the way he lost.

I apologize for making an illegal roster transaction, I picked up Jeff Reed when I realized that I didn't have a kicker playing this week. Fantrax showed Reed as playing in the 8:30 game, I didn't realize that was next week's game already.
Jason Elam was available and would have won me my second game this week. Entirely my fault for not picking up a kicker earlier, but why do they show next week's games on Monday morning?

Looks like I am on the verge of another 1-1 week and another 140+ put against me, barring a miracle defensive effort from the Browns tonight.

i've been traveling for the last several days, but what happened with my claim of Forsett?
if it somehow went through early, i understand. if it did, that's a perfect example of what is wrong with FanTrax. why wasn't that player locked?!?!

11 weeks in and I've finally outscored my opponents for the year... by 4 points.
It would take a miracle to get an auto-bid now so I just have to make sure to be hot in week 14 and on. Mmm hmm.

The playoff picture looks pretty simple now. The top 5 teams; Promize, Frick, Shep City, vampireweekend, and Nerfherders, are in the playoffs. Kyle will be the 6th seed with a win or Pancho Villa loss. Pancho Villa can be the 6th seed if he wins both games next week, Kyle loses both, and he outscores Kyle by 34.
The race for the 7th and 8th seed is not too complicated either. Barring a huge score from someone else, it looks like it's a three-way race between Pancho Villa, That's my QB!, and Valkyrie.
But the fight for seedings is not over. Promize and Frick are tied at the top for the 2 auto-bids, with Shep and vampire one game back. Frick and vampire play eachother, so that could be a game that decides an auto-bid. Nerfherders is all but out of the auto-bid. His only chance is to go 2-0 while Promize, Shep, and vampire goes 0-2, AND scores 65 more points than Promize. But Nerf could still move up to third or fourth, depending on how things play out. Kyle can be the 5th seed with a 2-0 week and an 0-2 week from Nerf.

*crickets*
copied from the AAA #1 league:
FROM GURU:
This is a good time to reiterate our rules for the Playoffs, including limitation on roster moves.
You may want to begin positioning your teams for this:
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.

Congrats to the play-off teams. Looks like the top 8 make it in. All of the teams were pretty equal, IMO and I don't see any favorites for the play-offs. Certainly not myself, I finished with the top record, but that was mainly due to luck and being consistent.

Oh so close to an auto-bid. A tie-breaker away.
If I wasn't going to be top 2, I am happy with third, because I want no part of vampireweekend. He has owned me this year. I think third is the best I have finished in the regular season at any level.

Am I mistaken- it appears that I just made the playoffs despite having a Dallas Cowboy like December in November recording a 0-10 0/fer from week 8 through week 12 ? Has any team ever made the playoffs before despite failing to win a single game in November?

I would of posted this earlier, but I was at work and you can also say that my mind was else where. Here is the matchup as I see them.
1 Frick v 8 Valkyrie 2009
4 Nerfherders v 5 vampireweekend
3 Promize v 6 Kyle
2. Shep City v 7 That's my quarterback
seeds 2,3, and 4 are based on points as they all were 1-1 against each other.
Here is how the consolation shakes out.
9 Goatlocker v 14 the fighting bart simpsons
10 Tree is still unemployed v 13 fear the monkey
11. Pancho Villa v 12 Crazy 88
Goatlocker has it on points over Tree and Crazy 88 swept fear the monkey
If I am wrong, let me know.

Would each of the play-off teams mind posting their rosters here before non on Sunday? If we post the line-ups I'll go through and grab their scores and add them up. If you had planned on starting a ClE/PIT please post asap. I put Cribbs in my starting line-up before the start of the game on Thursday (I have started him virtually every week and thought he would have decent return yardage against PIT, although not nearly what he ended up with.)

The good news is, it does look like starting lineups were locked in place. So if you truelly had a player started, you can't change it for someone else.
My Line as of now is:
A. Rodgers
R. Grant
MJD
Crabtree
Moss
Edwards
Heathe Miller
Jared Allen
Keith Bulluck
Stephen Cooper
J. Harrison
Julian Peterson
Adrian Wilson
Lawrence Tynes

If someone can set up a spreadsheet to calculate the data, you can enter the stats and get the
points. I did one my first season before I knew about live scoring, but I cannot find it to send

this is EXACTLY what i have been saying all along about fantrax.
fantastic. they're adding something new and cool for the fantasy playoffs...
...DURING THE FANTASY PLAYOFFS.
They're had all season to implement these things. So why develop them now?
They clearly weren't ready at the beginning of the season, and have been playing catch up ever since.
At some point, however, someone there should have said "oh, wait, we gotta get stuff ready for the playoffs," and it shouldn't have been once they got started.
It's almost as if the people behind it aren't fantasy sports people at all, but rather money marks who saw an opportunity to cash in on the fantasy craze, without knowing a damned thing about how these kinds of games work, or the people who play them.

Guys it looks like Fantrax got something (playoff matchups) up so I guess our efforts from here on might (or might not?) be redundant.
Judy thank you for offerring to help.
The good part of all this is when I get eliminated I will at worst have mixed feelings being relieved to have finally gotten away from Fantrax (forever) and all its problems perhaps exceeding my sadness at not advancing to the RGIF next year.

Looks like I am going to be done in by the failure to draft 2 good
running backs - one week I start snelling and put the texans brown
on the bench - snelling is negative and brown scores enough to
swing the game - this week - the other way around - snelling on
the bench with 16 pts - brown with less than 1...looking like a
good win nerfherders...

Hey guys, Your Commissioner (Dan) has pointed out that several of you are having or have had issues with Fantrax. On a general note, I will repeat essentially what we've told Dan: Firstly, we apologize for any problems you've experienced along the way. However due to this being our first NFL season, we've had to correct a few glitches along the way. This is also partly because we implement new features at an unheard of pace (largely based on user demand) in this industry. With that being said, we have always addressed and fixed all problems promptly, and no errors have been unrecoverable (we backup all leagues in our system nightly). Our problems have paled in comparison to those that our competition experienced in their first years, and still do for some of them. To address Tree's comment about the late implementation of our playoff bracket: We've had playoffs working a long time ago, but the actual BRACKET format is new. Yes, in a perfect world it would have been ready and working perfectly from day 1 of the playoffs, but partly for reasons stated above, this was not possible. While we do arguably already have the most customizable League Manager/Commissioner product on the market, since this is our first year, we have unfortunately had to play "catchup" on certain features. Rest assured we are all very committed to Fantrax for the long term and care very much about our users' opinions. And no, we are not doing this for the "cash grab". Most of us here are serious fantasy sports fans and have been so since before it existed on the internet, and are committed to making this the best fantasy sports site in the industry, in all aspects. If any of you still have any issues regarding Fantrax, please do let us know. This includes any potential errors, constructive criticism, suggestions, etc. They will always be addressed promptly. And while we would love to keep a close eye on this thread and others around the internet, we simply don't have the man-power for that. We urge you to contact us directly or via your Commissioner. Once again we apologize for any problems you've experienced, but this has been a necessary evil. We can assure you that not only none of these will occur in the following seasons, but you will continue to see constant upgrades to the functionality and user interface. Thanks,
Tamir
The Fantrax Team

Should be a good match-up. I'm seeing a significant drop in my points this week. I have number of players that I could see not playing a whole game. I thought I had a decent team when the season started, even though I was weak in the RB department. My team has been on fire, but your team hasn't been far behind. For the season we are only separated by 7 points so I would say either team has a good chance to win.
Good luck!

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".

Interesting season, but I think a lot of people lost interest because of Fantrax. I think Fantrax has great possibilities, but as of right now, I would not be interested in using them again.
Just one more example, if you look at the play-off standings it shows me in 3rd place despite having the only 3-0 record. I'm not sure what they are using for the rankings and it isn't a big deal, but is just another example of implementation that wasn't complete or was assumed by programers to be correct without getting user acceptance.
