NFBC Message Boards

Hi Gents:

What do you think is the best auction software?

I've used custom spreadsheets for auctions in the past, but am looking for software for MAC that will track all the teams and ideally let me import my own stats/values.

Who wants it?

me please!

Cool.

Can NFBC participants come and watch this auction?

P.S. Someone should tell ESPN. Seriously, this might get ratings better than one of their poker shows.

Shawn, what do you think has changed the most strategically about competing for the Main Event vs. say 5 years back? Also, I noticed in one of your published cheat sheets that you had certain players, for example Outfielders, listed as "balance" players. How do you deploy your list of "balance" play...

I always post on the site when projections are updated and almost always send out a Tweet and Facebook note. I often send a newsletter. I need to be careful with the newsletter since too many gets us on some SPAM lists. Going forward, I'll change almost always to always for Social media notificatio...

Hey Todd. First, congrats on your wins from last year! As a Mastersball customer, I'm curious, when is your next round of player projection updates? And how do you recommend a customer keep track of updates after downloading (i.e. how do I know when you've updated a particular player's projection)? ...

Thanks!

Do you have an email address for sending proposals?

Todd, how do we buy the High Stakes primer from the Masterball site?

I've tried several times and can't figure out ("click here to order now" doesn't seem to work). Then again, if I was smarter I wouldn't need the primer.

Also, Aaron Hill should be on the list.

Final word on the "Trout wars" -- Mike Trout did basically repeat his historic rookie season. Below are follow-ups on on my predictions/rationale that Trout *should* repeat, posted May 7 when Trout was hitting .274: Shandler's original article for Baseball HQ, "Don't Draft Mike Trout" was essentiall...

Shandler's original article for Baseball HQ, "Don't Draft Mike Trout" was essentially a publicity stunt, and not his first one. (Ever wonder how many books he sold because of the "LIMA Plan"?). Now that Trout is off to a slow start, the USA Today article is basically Shandler's I-told-you-so. Here w...

Cool, how late into March do you expect to still be kicking off new $375 DC leagues?

Is there a way to get these broadcasts if one doesn't have a Sirius paid membership?

Maybe as a Podcast or something?

These are great and welcome options. Since all us owners sleep, it would be nice to have a league that sleeps too. Let's say you had a league called "6 to 12, One-hour" that ran from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT (3 a.m. to 9 p.m. PDT), with a One Hour limit. No picks happen during the "sleep" hours, yet ow...

If everyone took 4 hours per pick, 50 rounds would take 125 days (i.e. that's about halfway between Opening Day and the All-Star break). :shock: If everyone took 1 hour per pick, it would still take 30+ days (not including overnight time when the league may be asleep). :o So simply, when it's your t...

There are some flaws in the "Player Ratings" data that I'd like to see improved. It looks like in 2012 NFBC put some new assumption in the "Player Ratings" data -- for example, players with too few at bats don't get a batting average score. The threshhold has been set way too low. For example, Carlo...

Thanks!

When will ADPs be posted to the site this year?

I assume they'll be accessible from the top nav at some point...
