re: TDFL: Season Long Thread...Playoffs?!?

Im in.

me too

Nice nice

if you drop a guy, he doesn’t go through the FAAB process. Considering it’s an auction league that employs a weekly FAAB process, it doesn’t make sense

Kind of. RT will allow you to bid on players all week if you want.

The issue is that people want to be able to do waivers, and then be able to add players anytime once they clear waivers.

The problem is the players that are dropped during the waiver wire run. On RT and MFL, you couldn't just run waivers on guys who were dropped during the waiver wire. Once they had been dropped for 24 hours they could be freely picked up, and people didn't like that. I am thinking that's the same as the option OMT posted in his screen shot. The other alternative is to run waivers every day, and then allow whoever is left over to be picked up freely after Sunday at 8:00 am. I did that last year because of last minute injury status changes. At least you had 1 day where you could add someone without going through the waiver wire.

ESPN is the only football site i have seen that allows you to place a bid on someone who was dropped during waiver while allowing you to add free agents that cleared waivers. They don't have that as an option for basketball but they do for football.

From what I'm seeing on fantrax, they have separate rules for waivers and free agents.

So you can run waivers every day for players that have been dropped, while still being first come first serve on free agents that clear waivers. In my screenshot I had selected bidding for the free agent claim system, but that can be changed to first come first serve.

a few years back in a live league we did a similar set up to this but just used ESPN. The leagues operated separately, just made them publicly view-able so members each league could monitor what was going on in the other league.

ESPN continues to track scoring even when your season ends, so for the Super Bowl each owner set their line ups accordingly and kept in touch via text with screen shots as they requested scoring updates. Not quite ideal but to me was better than dealing with all of the other frustrations RT and MFL create for the entire season

Idk if fantrax does

I also think espn will make it very easy to manage. Everyone knows what to expect there

Plus that is $150 more in the pot. Not sure what the fantrax charge is.


I would be totally fine with fantrx but I think ESPN does what we want to do, as long as we're all cool with setting up 2 leagues instead of 1.

I like ESPN and agree that not being able to see the other league isn’t the end of the world.

I think this is actually better. Ive seen one league influence add/drops in the other league
