What Happened With KDS On Sunday?

Post by bald is beautiful » Tue Aug 28, 2007 3:59 am

Greg & Tom: I have found in life that the best thing to do after a mistake is own up to it, take responsibility, and correct the situation. (Michael Vick, take note). People are much more willing to forgive and forget a mistake when you do this. So I appreciate your forthrightness and willingness to accept responsibility.

Now let's draft!

The spot everyone had was random (kind of what would have been without preferences) ... the new spots will be more preference (KDS) oriented.

The lengths you guys go to to sell a concept is amazing! This is a great post and I could not agree more. I also would say that you guys wont take much "heat" for this as Tom sort of implied. I am sure this inconvenienced a few people slightly who began preparing for a certain draft spot... I am sure it will leave SOME unhappy who may have been moved from a position they prefered to something less appealing (others might be happier). However it is quite clear this is a normal mistake that should be expected from time to time and how the mistake was handled is what should be highlighted.

Great job.. great service... LETS DRAFT...

Thanks for getting it right. I'm liking my pick better today. BUT, I got to tell you I almost did not even look at the email since I received one yesterday with the same title. You may want to title the email NEW DRAFT SPOTS - PLEASE LOOK.

I'm loving an increase to the top prize in the future.

Thanks for the hard work to fix the situation.

while, no one likes to see mistakes being made, at least everyone now has the slots they were supposed to get.

this is minor on the screwup list (as compared to the wcoff bidding debacle last year).

[/QUOTE]no kidding needed. greg/tom corrected a mistake before anything was run. so people mocked for a day and a half with possibly the wrong slot. big whoop. that registers maybe a 1 or 2 out of 10 on my fantasy football mistake reader.

wcoff allowing bids processed at 8am, as opposed to the 8pm as noted in the rules, was a lose-lose situation.

at least with greg's solution, everyone got the pick they were supposed to get.

thanks

QB/RB/WR all come into play. being in the middle of the draft is advantagous to catching value plays. but, i believe i'll be passing on gates. i believe he will be there in the third. 60/40 that he's there.

if i were you, i'd be more concerned with having one of the top 9 rb's fall to you in the first round. you better get the wr-wr strategy ready. seriously.
