Deuce Week 4 Free Agency Reversed & Cancelled

Nothing to see here. It was Rishi’s fault according to Dan.

The final decision from The Commissioner.

Last Thursday I was asked to make a change in the Waiver Wire and Free Agents settings ( originated by QFL 1) to set the priority order to “reverse order of standings” (I was told to set to non-serpentine). It appears I fucked this up – as Fantrax software allows the setting for both FA & WW to non-serpentine. In making this change, the software set the Free Agent Claim System to “automated priority” – thus locking waiver wires. This setting also appears to have prevented the ability to bid on certain FA players for reasons that are unclear and not specified I the Fantrax settings help page. (Note that this change ONLY affected FA, did not impact WW.)

I was not alerted to any problems with Fantrax FA until last night around midnight by Reuven(Sooms) when he emailed stating that RG3 was still listed as WW; that he had “inadvertently” dropped Detroit defense and most importantly that he was unable to make some FA bids. It is impossible to know exactly who experienced problems or what, b/c there were valid FA bids successfully made.

Based on the transaction history, there were 3 teams that made FA bids: Membrillos, Sooms & Turds. Catch42 also claims he was unable to enter a bid for Taliaferro, but that he was going to bid higher than $1. In fairness to everyone in QFL2, the best approach is to rewind (invalidate) last night’s FA bids and start fresh next week.

I phoned most teams involved to discuss the potential of setting FA for tonight. At this rate, there is a 3 or 4 hour window to re-bid. The short window is just not fair to everyone involved. Therefore, ALL of yesterday’s transactions will be removed.

I’m fining myself $20 for not doing the due diligence of confirming with the “Masters” at Q1. But I’m also not going to bitch about the fucking software or the cryptic instructions…

Sooms, I should fine you for “inadvertently” deleting your defense, but “potential” loss of Taliaferro is a fine.

Now I actually have to get back to my real job.
