We're not opening up a second FAAB at this late of date when it's not in our rules, Glenn. Now, as Mike Weber said could this be an event which leads us to consider a second FAAB period for next year and beyond? Perhaps although there are pros and cons to that in my opinion. I'm not sure having a first-come, first-serve WW period is a good idea in a high-stakes event but as always I'd be interested in getting everyone's feedback on that.
Just to clarify Tom, if you did 2 free agent periods next year, if you want a player in the 2nd period you have to bid for them as well.. so it's not first come first serve.
I think there is no harm to 2 down the line. the odds of this happening again are so slim however i like 2 periods anyway. Example, i have dallas clark and cooley in one league. Clark is questionable, cooley came down with a strained quad now late in week.. so i would have grabbed a te just in case cooley can't go.. just my opinion.. Mike..
I don't know anybody who's happy about this situation. From a fantasy perspective it stinks to high heavens. But this is our decision.

Yes, that is stupid, but no more ridiculous than other suggestions.
As for the "good customer" who said they would quit over this.... LET EM TAKE THEIR BALL AND GO HOME!!
Let them go play in a 10 teamer where they have a bench to cover the byes.
Like Team Canada said, you guys are making the ONLY decision that can be made. Opening up free agency now would be a disaster, as you would have MANY more people complaining they never saw it (obviously the people in the Houston area who have NO POWER... God bless them!) Billy,
Come on man,
You got to see both sides here.....It's a no win for anyone. And it's a tough choice to make. There is winners and losers to this all over the place. [/QUOTE]Of course I see both sides Johnny (as I have ONLY Kris Brown in a WCOFF league), however saying "I"M LEAVING THE CONTEST BECAUSE OF THIS!"
Honestly....don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
If someone is threatening to leave because of that, you don't have "thick enough skin" to be playing in the NFFC in the first place.
Just my opinion.
As many have said.... IT SUCKS! However, there is nothing that can be done this late.

In this league I also have Kevin Walter and in other leagues I also have Andre Johnson and McGahee/Rice.
In all cases I have full lineups, although some suck.
Greg is doing EXACTLY the right thing in following his stated rules. Sometimes it's the things we don't do that get credit over the hasty things we might have done. JP,
This is why I bid on Cassel I didn't even need him. But I figured I would rather play Schaub or someone else.
I'm in a ton of leagues, So this helps me in some leagues and hurts in others....Tough problem For TK and Greg and all fantasy leagues world wide, Local, High stakes all over. I wouldn't want to hear some of the local leagues problems right now....

Just think of it as this way it wasn't your fault in the least!

after everyone screams both sides of the story , i think one way to not to let this happen again is to move faab to sat night at 9pm. this way there would not even be a second round of faab.
THIS IS THE BUSINESS WE HAVE CHOSEN

In my other league, we opened the waiver wire only to those who have one of the following: O Daniels, T Heap, K Brown, M Stover, or either D and did NOT have anyone as a backup for these players. Waiver bids were automatic 25 points. Consensus was that this was the best way to do it.
WHAT IS THE RULING???????????? Why should teams that didn't plan ahead get a shot at players the rest of the league can't get? In the Auction, for example, David Martin is available and with byes coming up he could well go for more than $25 to a team needing a TE for an early bye.
No, following the rules agreed to before the season starts is a decision that can't be faulted.

Last I checked, it isn't in the rules that frequenting the message board OR checking your e-mail everyday should give you an advantage in an unfortunate situation.
It sucks snake, but you can't just give SOME the opportunity to pick someone up, and not others.
Surely you can see that.
