Status Check Update

Hey folks, I just talked to STATS and we're on schedule for having everything ready to go by 5 p.m. Central time today. STATS is putting together the final corrections and is preparing to mark all of the drafts as final which means you guys will be good to go very shortly.

Thanks for your help and your patience with everything the last few days. Hopefully that's the biggest hurdle we'll have to clear and everything will be smooth sailing from here on out.

Knock on wood.

I just contacted STATS to let them know about this. Hopefully it will be fixed quickly.

STATS said the problem has been fixed. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Tom,

What is the official time and date our rosters needed to be in. I had set my roster yesterday and again this afternoon, and just checked again, and my roster was "Invalid". I know it is only one days worth or stats and I only have one player affected, but if he has a great game, I lose out on those stats, and in these leagues, one hit, hr or run can cost you the championship.

Also, do I need to actually "submit" a roster every week, or can I just leave the roster alone, and it will continue to use the same players week in and week out.

Thx

Tom,

As a reminder, one of my fellow owners (NY 1, team 7) still has the wrong Vazquez in his lineup "Jorge" instead of "Javier". While, it would be pretty cool to have Javier Vazquez available in the free agent pool, I don't think my colleague will go along with it.

Thx You can leave your roster alone if you want as long as you are able to submit a legal roster. That's the requirement.

To answer your first question, here is the section from our Rules which explains the procedure: Rosters will be updated by 8 p.m. ET on Sunday with the results of all successful bids and starting lineups for the upcoming week must be finalized five minutes before each game every Monday.

Knock on wood. I take it the above does not apply to auction leagues. Will they (specifically LV2) be entered into the system in time for FAAB bids this week? Inquiring minds . . .

1. Go to nationalfantasybaseballchampionship.com, log into account.

2. On the "My Teams" page, click on my NFBC LV2 Auction team, "Lawyers, Guns and Money". (The link to my NFBC team immediately under this link takes me to my 2005 NFBC team, roster populated, all works fine).

3. On next page I am shown a small block on the left that says "Lawyers, Guns and Money" plus in the middle of the page a series of "Player News" listings for players who are not on my team. I have menu choices Home, League Info, Standings, Leaders, Roster, Stats, Transactions, News, My Settings and Help.

4. I click on the intuitive choice, Rosters. It shows a pull down menu choice (and there is only one) of "Draft results." I click on that and get:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00936: missing expression

/baseball/trans/set_lineup.asp, line 131

I get either blank screens or equally unhelpful results under all of the other menu tabs. Under transactions I can look at free agent listings that show as 2004 free agents and list every player in the major leagues as free agents.

So, since you are convinced this is a case of operator error, exactly what is it that I'm doing so that I'm not "not clicking on your 2005 roster properly to view your team or league."

B(Still looks to me like the error is at your end and not mine)B

Bruce, I just went to your home page, clicked on Roster and your lineup appeared. Everything looked good for me. All I did was click on your team page, click Rosters and everything was good to go as far as setting your lineup.

Bruce, using the process you describe above I log into my own teams and everything works fine. Your procedure is accurate.

That looks like the "draft results" page, not the "set lineup" page.

Bruce, give me a call at 715 445-4612 ext. 653 if you're still having trouble.

Thanks for the suggestions guys -- we are pursuing the problem with TQ Stats. you are right I am seeing the draft results page and not the set lineup page -- that is the problem -- that is the only menu choice I am offered under "Roster". Tom is being very helpful with getting this resolved.

Oh and STATS Inc is our partner, not TQ Stats. Just an FYI.
