Philaflava.com ::

The league is fine just the way it is. Every time we've discussed any changes its been a disaster.
Lets not fuck with a good thing again.

Pretty sure the league could use better communication and thats just not on Justin but for everyone.

Also a few people have bounced already and I'm pretty confident 1-2 more will happen next year. There is a reason for it and without putting the blame on just one person, let's really figure out what would make this league better and more enticing for all parties.

Side note, it would be really nice to have all keepers set so by tomorrow the latest we have 2 days to prepare for the draft.

My war room is equipped for big drafts and my employees require ample time to study the available selections.

Eric Hosmer
Ben Zobrist
Longoria
Hanley
Jumpton
Desmond Jennings
Alex Avila
David Price
Stephen Strasburg
Tommy Hanson
Mariano Rivera

There is an option where you can set your own keepers so to save Justin the time go ahead and do it so we can see the pool of players available already.

i don't see this option anywhere

i see it now. nevermind.

thanks.

it's not letting me.

cuz you're brown.

Keepers seem to have been set already. But it's not shown anywhere or reflected in the excluded players in predraft rankings.

a handful of teams did not select their keepers,
and there is no way to accommodate the trade hasib and kevin made while using yahoo keeper league settings.

I have no idea what to tell you.

you need to use the email function.

if a team did not reply call them out on the mass email tip. maybe one of us know the manager and can reach them.

this is exactly what i'm talking about. nothing should come down to the 13th hour.

also, if those teams did not post their keepers in this thread or on the league forum then do it for them. it's not like they haven't had ample time.

are you fucking serious?

this is being told to us 3 days before the draft?

is this what we get for having the earliest draft of all time?

For the first time in a year, I have to agree with gloss on this. The fact that you refuse to use the mass email option is preposterous.

it is how i run all of my fantasy leagues and no one has complained about lack of information. Yeah, you may not post as much on PF but everyone checks their email. you have no excuse.

learn to use it.

yes, it is clearly my fault yahoo did not set up an option for trading keepers.

you're so abrasive. calm the fuck down.

i'm being abrasive because you are running the league like you don't give a fuck and you want it wrapped up.

I've been having your back since day one for this league but when it comes to this league this year, you've been really hands off.

I manually put in the keepers for the teams who did not do it themselves,
the only issue is your trade.

you were one of the teams who didn't assign their own keepers,
but i'm the one dropping the ball?

read the league page when you sign up for the league, it isn't that difficult.

I see you assigned stuff but I don't see it reflecting, therefore, it do not show who is exactly available in the draft.

Also can you list the teams that failed to post their keepers so we can get that issue resolved?

Justin, I'm here to help because the majority of this league resides on Philaflava and if you don't have the time, let me know. All of things can be handled much easier via email and quite honestly, maybe this should push our draft time back. I mean, why are we even drafting so early anyways?

Use the mass email option on the "email managers" page. It isn't that difficult.

Also, you told me on gchat that I could post my keepers yesterday morning.....which I did. I can post the chat here so as to remind you, if you want.

it is not reflected because I cannot finalize hasib's and kevin's teams until they choose 11 keepers on their own team. figure out a trade later.

dude, you need to turn off the keeper assignment to the managers...you own it, you manually assign it.

Also, you need to finalize the league in the commish settings...then set the draft order and the keepers...

Justin. I see u edited the draft order, but you need to flip it so rd 12 starts with the correct order.

Also, now u need to manually assign keepers.

The new thing Yahoo! Added this year where owners can select is wack since it dosnt take off season trades into consideration.

You're getting there kid! Keep up the good work!

Obviously its too late to change but what was the logic behind a draft in early March when there is 3 more weeks of ST?

i had a beef with the early time too but justin said there were a bunch of people who wanted the early time. I have a beef with weekend drafts anyways so I wish I knew about this beforehand. If only someone knew how to use email....

It's not the time that I have an issue with, its the fact a month is still out there where somebody can get hurt, especially one of our keepers.

no i hear you, i agree that it's early too. but i also have a problem with the weekend time.

justin peep PM plz

Guys, lets not start trying to change the draft time. Yeah, it's early, but if we change it now I highly doubt we will find a date/time that works for everyone on such short notice...

im not trying to change it. it is what it is. i was just curious behind the reason its early in march.

yeah, i'm cool with autodrafting so whatever.
