Anyone interested in trading WR's?

Could do a 2-for-1 from Randall Cobb/Brandon Lloyd/Torrey Smith for an elite receiver.

I could give up Stephens-Howling and Jeremy Kerley?

Hi Guys,

looks like we've had incorrect scoring set up for QB's throwing ints.
Checking versus the charter, if I have to update the setting it will retrospectively change results to fall in line.

BizzyC

Not going to change the setting, leavin results as are.

BigBadRob83

Sorry about that guys, must have missed that one when setting up the league

BigBadRob83

Myself and CJC86 agreed a trade and put it through on Tuesday
Tony Romo & Vick Ballard for Rashad Jennings & Jay Cutler.
Ballard and Jennings both playing Thursday night, and site says trade won't process until Friday morning so not sure how the site is going to handle this.

There have been no votes against it, so is there any way we can push it through before tonight's game to make sure that it goes through?

BizzyC

Yeah, that is a bit harsh.

Not sure how to get around it though.
There's no options available to me to let it pass ahead of tonight.
Even if I turn off the trade review period temporarily, it'll only be effective tomorrow morning.

Can go into people's teams and add/drop the players using the MANAGE function, commish add/drops overrule waivers etc.

I just had a look there to see why the trade was scheduled to go through on Friday rather than Thursday, and I think it's because you messed around with the setting on Wednesday. Hopefully it won't affect the game between myself and Rob this week, but you shouldn't go messing with trade settings while a trade is happening.

Guffy

Shouldn't be messing around with trade settings during the season at all. Also was there a change to waiver wire?

BizzyC

Dont worry, wont be.

No change to waiver, has been set to a 2 day period from day 1, hasn't been touched.

deise_boi

Forgot to set my line-up before 6 Left Dez on the bench and he would've had the victory for me. Disaster!

Effective date on the trade was Friday before I took a look at settings and friday afterwards.

Could be the fact that two of the players involved had a Thursday game that pushed it another day.

BigBadRob83

Below is note on the fantasy site for the trade:

"Accepted Trade: Greystones Mariners and The Islanders pending until the morning of Friday, November 9, 2012. Note that if a player involved in the transaction has already completed his game for the week, the trade will process Tuesday of the following week"

Wouldn't have gone through until Tuesday anyway, unless commish had over-ridden

This league is getting tight...

After this week I reckon Chain Reactions will be 9-2, with 3 teams at 8-3 and a few more at 7-4.
It's going to be tough to come out with a top 4 place for promotion.
Especially with the trend of form my team has been on.

CJC86

Barring a very surprising run of results, I've been knocked out of contention for the playoffs at this point. It's unfortunate because I'm on a run of 2 tough losses; I would have beaten 13 of the 15 teams last week, and 9 of the 15 this week. My team is looking quite strong, but it'll be no use to me sitting outside looking in on the playoffs.

BizzyC

Top 6 will get you in the playoffs...
There are very few teams without a legitamite chance of making them.

As long as some of the 5-5 teams lose this week, you'll still be in contention.

Guffy

With the top 4 being promoted is it possible for the div 6 champ not to be one of those? What I mean is is it possible for the sixth seed in playoffs to get promoted by reaching the semi's or is it the top four league positions before the playoffs?

BizzyC

I's the final top 4, as in the semi-finalists.

Top 2 seeds get automatic promotion since they get a bye, 3-6th have a playoff to determine the other 2 spots.

9. Promotion and relegation will take place via a '4 up 4 down' system. The 4 teams that make the semi's of the playoffs in a League will be promoted to the league above the next season. If there is inactive players in whichever division (say 2 for example) then they are removed from the league and only 2 are relegated to lower division, The four promoted then will keep that division at 16. As for the division below as only 2 are coming down and four going up there leaves a shortfall of two. This can be fixed by only relegating 2 from that division and along with the four promoted teams will keep that division at 16. This goes on all the way to the bottom division.

That doesn't seem right OR fair. Say the #6 team is two games behind the #3 team. They play in a quarterfinal and the #6 team wins. The #6 team is now 1 game behind and faces the #1 team in a semi final which it loses. The #6 team gets promoted even though it has a worse record?

BizzyC

That's the way football works.

Final standings for the year are a result of the playoffs, not of the divisional standings.

A few years ago the Patriots won the AFC East, but lost to the Jets in the playoffs. As such the Jets finished the year ranked higher.

2010 Wild Card Round

New Orleans Saints (11 - 5)

Seattle Seahawks ( 7 - 9)

Fudged up world of the NFL and its divisional league. :rolleyes:

CJC86

After two tough losses I decided to have a look at actual standings versus the breakdown standings (record if you played every team every week), to see how much luck of the draw factored into the standings. I'm a shocking 28.6% worse off than I would be expected to do at random.

I did them for the whole league. Would people be interested in seeing them? (Might make you think about what's fair davetherave )

davetherave

Yeah, I suppose I wasn't thinking of the real world.
I thought it would have just been simpler to have 16 weeks of Head2Head match-ups and then when it is all said and done the teams in 1,2,3 and 4 get promoted.

BizzyC

Team did much better than expected last night, but unfortunately so did SuperChamps...

Need Vernon Davis to out score Brandon Marshall and Michael Bush by 4 points tonight.
Based on recent form I think I'll be lucky to get 4 points total from him.

CJC86

The overtimes in the early games and Andre Johnson finally putting in a big game really saved me this week. I really have the worst luck with selecting which QB to start; Romo has an average game and Schaub rips it up on my bench.

Considering I need the Bears Defense to score more than 11 points, it seems that the top 2 teams could lose in the same week!! :eek:

I'd say your a cert for that Snickers award this week.

Nah, you need to lose to get that. I've got it twice already in this league, in two really close games.

BizzyC

Wow, wasn't expectin to win that but Davis pulled it out.
Won by a whopping 0.16 points...

Only 2 weeks left for playoff qualification, getting tense.
1 team at 9-2, 3 at 8-3, 4 at 6-5.

Top 4 are pretty much locked in, question is who will get the top 2 spots with automatic promotion and who of the 6-5 teams will get a shot at promotion in the playoffs....
