It does look as though you can still enter requests. I've only used this system once. And it was yesterday...Fanball locked all transactions at 8 pm, and at 8:01, all automated add/drops were done. This shouldn't take much longer.

Rick, I just got off the phone with STATS and the bids have been locked.

Stats did lock it. It doesn't say "locked", but it is. If you try to put in a transaction request now, once you are asked for a dollar amount, it sends you back to the homepage.

yes but you can still change the dollar amount of your current bids.

Tom, I submitted a lineup change at TE, it looks like their DB clock was off by about 5-7 minutes based on the time stamp of my move. Ask them to reset....

Free Agent bidding theory....If we did the Auction draft according to a $200 budget, and now the free agent bidding gives you $1,000 to spend, it seems as if you multiplied every players price at Auction, and multiplied it by 5, you would get his add/drop value. Will that work? You've got me. Just a theory.

I have L.Gordon for $1. Doubt anyone will get him for $5.
