September 3Sep 3 Author Neph says he is in and is cool paying the full fee himself. We got 12! Going to set up the league now.
September 3Sep 3 Author Invites are out. Need to accept before the draft. Only non standard things here (ESPN PPR) are I elected to use FAAB instead of open waivers. Budget is 100, minimum bid is 0. Waiver period is 1 day. And we have the 2 flex starters, 6 deep bench, 1 IR, no positional limits on how you fill out your roster.
September 3Sep 3 Author Since we have 12, I think pot should be $800, $300 and money back for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We good with that? Do you guys want to do League Safe or is everyone comfortable with settling up after the season?
September 3Sep 3 I'm comfortable settling up afterwards but will do whatever everybody wants. Payouts look fine to me.

Do you guys want to do League Safe or is everyone comfortable with settling up after the season? Prizes seem reasonable to me. Personally, I like the commish (or someone) to hold the money. I know we're all adults but I fucking hate badgering people to pay up later.

I know we're all adults but I fucking hate badgering people to pay up later. You are right and considering that person is going to be me, I think I will look into league safe tonight. I am getting pulled into a 5:30 ET meeting. I'm picking my daughter up at 5 from cheer and I will have her draw the draft order and I'll post it after my call. All teams have accepted invites. Edited September 3Sep 3 by Baboontyme Derkadorf is in. So is guapo.
September 3Sep 3 Author Y'all she gave me the first pick. If you feel this is shady I can redo it. Promise this was the first draw. I don't even want the first pick. Video uploading...

September 3Sep 3 Author Yeah I hate this, last thing I wanted because of optics. I'm in another league with a buddy where the commissioner has given himself the #1 pick 3 years in a row (without a recording of drawing the order). I told my buddy I've been playing FF for 25 years and never once gotten the top overall pick. Now I'm the commissioner with a bunch of randoms who don't know me, and of course I get it. I think pick 4/5 is the sweet spot, but I will be taking Chase at 1.1.
September 4Sep 4 Appreciate you putting this together. Having to deal with collecting money and wrangling a league is a thankless job.
September 4Sep 4 Good christ, this is my third draft and I've drafted 12th every damn time. Give that kid a noogie

September 4Sep 4 Author Thanks all, smooth draft. I'm going to try to get the league safe thing going (there's no fee) and I'll get those out in the next day or two. Happy we could make this come together.
September 4Sep 4 Author I got league safe figured out and sent out the invites. I think. Check emails. If not here is the link. I paid with venmo and there was a $4.60 convenience fee fyi. https://www.leaguesafe.com/join/4363278

September 4Sep 4 Author Ok onto the next thing. Has anybody done non continuous FAB on ESPN before? In my CBS auction league, non rostered players lock as soon as their games start. Bids are processed on Wednesday night/Thursday early AM, and free agent adds are open first come, first serve as soon as those bids are processed and free agents are awarded to the high bidders. That was my intent here. I did some googling and I think it's pretty similar here, but it doesn't let me select a day, only a waiver period (currently set to one day). I am reading that the waiver period applies not only after the last game of the week, but also after the draft and to any player who is dropped. So from what I can tell, free agent bids should process tonight and then free agents will be first come first serve provided their game hasn't already started. Then, players will be locked and the bid process would run again on Wednesday (no idea what time). I'm reading that if I set the waiver period to 2 days, bids would process on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Anyone know for sure? Any opinions on Wednesday vs Thursday? I'm definitely going to leave it to one day for at least the next couple days so people can do open adds and drops for Week 1 after the bids (maybe) run tonight. But I could change it on Sunday or Monday to 2 days if Thursday is a better day.

But I could change it on Sunday or Monday to 2 days if Thursday is a better day. we do this in 2 of my espn leagues and it's pretty good. i would use whatever their default timing is (either wed or thurs early am followed by open pickups). i wouldn't fuss with it too much after that. i'm off to vegas in the am so you'll get our $ when/if i come back.

September 23Sep 23 sent out some trade offers, all offering lamar to teams who need a qb. please reject the offer if you don’t want it.
September 23Sep 23 What is the deal with IR? Why can't we move an IR player to IR and pick up another player in the open position?

September 24Sep 24 Author 1 hour ago, Zwylde said: Kittle, officially on IR. I don't know. I checked the settings, we definitely have an IR slot. I don't have any eligible players on my roster to verify the functionality. What happens when you press the IR button on your My Team page? I get this message.
September 24Sep 24 It won't give an option to put him in the IR slot. It must be somewhere in the league settings that need to be turned on maybe?

September 25Sep 25 That did it, thanks. All the other leagues I've been in hasn't used IR so I didn't know how it worked.
September 26Sep 26 Author Just got paid from @elguapo, gracias mi amigo. I found duplicates for tokamak and guapo on the owner list in League Safe, now I just need to figure out who the 3rd duplicate is. @henrygandorf did you pay already? firstnamelastname@gmail initials RS? If so that leaves @Zepol87 and my nephew/BIL that are the only ones outstanding. I'll badger my family. The payment deadline is in 3 days. I don't know what that means. Hopefully we don't have to find out.
