FAAB Conditional Bid Bug?

Sandman62 · Post by **Sandman62** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 2:26 pm

I originally posted this in the NBC forum and then thought maybe it would get answered here.

I have a bid in on a player, as well as a conditional bid under him. When I try to add another conditional bid, after it allows me to select the player and the player I wish to drop, when I press the Submit button, instead of adding the new cond'l bid, it takes me to the Most Added/Dropped page.

Anyone else get this behavior?

P.S.
Update: even when I only have ONE bid and try to add a conditional bid, it still goes to the Most Added/Dropped page. Huh?

Also, a general question about bids: if I am looking to pickup one of 2 players and wish to drop the same player no matter which one I get, do I do a conditional bid or just 2 normal bids and the process starts with whichever one I bid highest on? I am thinking that the conditional bid is meant more for when I want to avoid getting two players awarded to me (which would require me specifying to drop TWO different players?).

Examples:

1. If I want to pickup EITHER player A OR B and would like to drop player C if I can get ONE of these... conditional or just 2 regular bids? (I would think just 2 reg. bids.)

2. If I want to pickup EITHER player A, for which I want to drop B... OR... player C, for which I want to drop D... conditional or 2 reg. bids? (I would think this to be where I'd use a conditional bid.)

Thank you,
Mike

I'm also having a problem with a conditional bid. But it appears to be different.

I try to put in CB and it makes a whole different line on my roster for the person? It looks like i have obtained him, but he's separated from the rest of the roster. And no CB is listed under the player I selected for the original bid.

???

I had this problem Sandman. I realized that I had forgotten to select a bid amount. That fixed things for me.

I'm still experiencing problems with conditional bids.

When I click on the conditional player, it creates a separate line on my roster. No bid amount, nothing.

I must be doing something wrong, as no one else is complaining.
A little help please.

It's not fixed yet. Hopefully soon. It's a pain in the balls.

STATS was planning on getting this fixed by the middle of this week. So I'm hoping everything gets fixed today. If it's still causing problems tonight let us know.

This is fixed now and our FAAB system is now the same as the one we use in baseball. Enjoy all and hopefully this will save everyone time each week going forward. Sorry we didn't have this set up right away, but hopefully all is well starting in Week 3. Good luck.
