Just sent Al's email info to you.

Reminder, draft tonight.

Cliff, I am still not sure I have your dues.

Thanks,

Tony

Looking forward to it! A few quick questions:

Are we doing a zoom for the auction tonight?
Saw the FAB budget dropped to $20 and is that for all year or per week? Also, are Waiver bids of $0 allowed?
Can I get a rookie bonus of Patrick Mahomes on my squad for free?

Thanks all and looking forward to it!

If anyone has a group app that can support the entire draft, please post it. Last year I did a goto meeting but I have changed jobs since then.

20 dollars for the year but left over draft budget is converted 10 auction to 1 fab. I have been told yahoo supports a zero waiver bid but can not confirm myself.

As for Mahomes, no. Be aware, we have a history of going a little qb heavy.

I don't have anything, but I can confirm that, unless we set it differently, Yahoo does allow a $0 bid.

90 minutes or so until the draft, see you all there!

Power is out here from the remains of Ida. It’s been coming back on quickly, but I might be having an interesting draft

Yes, phone is charged with plenty of power. Never tried drafting from a phone before, so it will be fun.

Did the waiver wire rules change? Not a fan of adjusting these mid season and without an announcement. Just realized it is a free for all after Wednesday FAAB and that does change FA strategy pretty significantly.

Yes, it has been discussed multiple times on the Yahoo message board. I am not happy about how this is changing either and I am asking feedback as to what to do. I got multiple requests to change it and now I have a few to change it back. Please let your voice be heard. To be clear, the original problem is that on ESPN, the Sunday waiver auction happened at 11:00 a.m. Eastern on Sunday after the injury report comes out. On Yahoo, it happens at 3:00 and multiple players were caught with suddenly injury report casualties.

Makes sense and honestly explains how I missed it as I have a heck of a time navigating the Message & Chat boards for the leagues and don't think I have the notifications on.

Only reason I personally am against shifting mid season is the lack of real time pickups up to this point has influenced previous bids as well as bench construction knowing that last minute injuries are possible under the guidelines. This shift impacts season long strategies and have cause me not to bid on higher value players, knowing that I need middle tier support coverage across my positions throughout the year, especially in time for Bye weeks.

I would vote to return the process to how we started the season and any adjustments we make to happen at season end.
