RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 08-29-2017 Well guys, there's an issue. Currently, we have 6 members and am sure we will get more the closer we get closer. However, on fanduel, your room has to be full "5 days" before the games begin on Sunday or it turns into a free week and all monies are refunded and the contest is open to the public for the remaining slots. So, that would mean each player would have to commit on Tuesday (after the Monday night game). Wednesday it becomes public. I really dislike this. Here's a conversation I had with Melinda at fanduel: Quote:Melinda: There is no way around the contest defaulting to free if not filled. So I think in order to compete with this, we would have to commit for the year. What's your thoughts? Trash the league? Go the season? Play it anyway and if we don't fill it so what? Or find another venue? RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 08-29-2017 To add, the issue is I have to commit a contest size. If I set it at 5, nobody else can join till the following week. If I set it at 10, if not filled by Wednesday, all money is refunded and it becomes open to the public for the remaining slots as a free play.

Here's a conversation I had with Melinda at fanduel: It's the headache i ran into last year. Had several commit early in the season, but week to week i had to keep reminding people to get their picks in early in the week...but it still lead to several "free" weeks when someone forgot or just couldn't do it. It's stupid, but it's the nature of the beast. After a couple weeks i just went "if it's not filled, so what".

You can adjust the size week by week, after the first week. But it's still work for you finding out who is going to play that week. It will probably take a couple weeks to see who is consistent and who is late, but you can always try setting the number a person or two short (not sure how many you have had commit). So if you have 8 people committed, you set the number at 6 or 7 and it's first come, first serve.

I am setting up the league now and we have an opportunity to go week to week, or do like a fantasy season where the payout would be at the end. What do you prefer? I prefer week to week. A season long requires a bigger commitment. Week to week, i can message you and let you know if i'm not going to be able to be in for that week for any reason and allow you to adjust the size of the league for that week so it still pays out. RE: Fanduel - SunsetBengal - 09-05-2017 Alright, I'm all set. Got my week one lineup set, and ready to kick some fellow Bengal fan's tails! RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 09-05-2017 Nobody was discouraged. Therefore, we shall "Go for IT"! RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 09-05-2017 I have to set the limit tomorrow. So if your in get in and I will adjust tomorrow at 7pm. RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 09-06-2017 Well shit! I had to set the limit on Tuesday, and with taking an extra day off for the holiday, I didnt realize yesterday was Tuesday. Sorry guys. This week will end up as a free week I'm sure. HEY! I said I was sorry! Put away the euthanization needles. Damn, your a tough crowd! RE: Fanduel - Bengalbug - 09-07-2017 (09-06-2017, 06:49 PM)HarleyDog Wrote: Well shit!

Everyone just needs to realize that you can set your lineup on monday or early tuesday, to give you time to lock the players in, then you can edit the lineup anytime during the week leading up to the game.

I will need to limit it to sunday games only to give people 2 days to get it done. If I don't, I dont think you can set until the Monday night game is over. Which leaves only Tuesday. However, I could be wrong. RE: Fanduel - Bengalbug - 09-10-2017 Well, lucky for everyone that it didn't work this week. :-) RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 09-11-2017 (09-10-2017, 07:50 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: Well, lucky for everyone that it didn't work this week. :-) Yes, I see.

RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 09-11-2017 Since we had 8 contestants this week, I will set to 8. Then I will lock it down to the amount of entries tomorrow around 7-8pm. If it fills and you want to still get in send me a PM and I will add another slot or two. Sorry I fugged this week up guys - It's a learning experience. RE: Fanduel - HarleyDog - 09-12-2017 Heres the new link. Must enter today and then adjust roster by Sunday. Hopefully I got it right this time. The other league seemingly is locked as a tournament/FREE league. Between 7-8pm tonight - I will lock the players and nobody will be able to get in after in order to keep the contest from going to FREE again. I have set the contest for Sunday games only in order to make it easier for contestants to join on Monday. If it fills up before you are able to enter. Send me a pm and I will attempt to reopen it. I have the contestants set at 8 players. https://www.fanduel.com/leagues/215959/invites/39777f589bae893e066ed0656e4c52c68421a31a?invitedby=harleydog67&cnl=la RE: Fanduel - SunsetBengal - 09-12-2017 I'm in. RE: Fanduel - StoneTheCrow - 09-12-2017 I'll be happy to take everyone's money...this time. |
