Free agents after friday?

From the NFFC website rules

9. Bidding Time Frame: The bidding process will be held each week after Week 1 and continues through the end of the NFFC regular season. Bids will be accepted on the league web site from Tuesday at 9 am ET until Friday at 4 p.m. ET in each of those weeks. If you are submitting by phone, you must submit your bids by 2:30 p.m. ET on Friday. Rosters will be updated by 5 p.m. ET Friday with the results of all successful bids.

So I guess we will see who is wrong.
Just because they made an exception for Thanksgiving week last year does not make it permanent.

See Hook, here's the thing. In both years of the NFFC, the Week 12 deadline was moved up to Wednesday. Here's the post from 2004:

Let's try this again with a new topic head and the right date:

My apologies for not pointing this out sooner, but all NFFC owners should know that the FAAB deadline for Week 12 is Wednesday, Nov. 24th at 4 p.m. EDT instead of the usual Friday deadline. We have moved up the FAAB deadline for that week only due to the two Thanksgiving games that are being played. Please note this and plan accordingly for next week. I will also e-mail this to all NFFC owners today and ask STATS to send out a reminder next week.

Probably time for this to be included in the rules...

If they did it for Thanksgiving, why wouldn't they do it for any other Thursday game as well? To my knowledge, it's been that way since this league was formed. I simply asked for confirmation. But I could be wrong...Heaven forbid.
:rolleyes:

I imagine the dynamics will change a bit when the Thursday and Saturday games start. If I recall correctly, the FA bidding period deadline falls, and ends on Wednesday when there is a Thursday game.

You guys that know for sure, please correct me if I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]You are correct Richie.

Especially considering there are Thursday games in both Weeks 12 and 13 this year, yes, it needs to be addressed via the message boards, the rules, and a blast e-mail. Damn that NFL Network!!! Yes, we definitely will add it to the rules and make this part of the weekly newsletter going forward and an e-mail blast. Thanks guys for the heads up.
