After checking my hand-scoring for League I, I've now reaffirmed that using software to manage the league is for the best -- I had half a dozen scoring errors on my sheet to correct. :| (I did double-check the box scores on NFL.com to make sure the software was right, which is usually the case.) Starting this week, tranx requests will be prioritized according to the Waiver Wire Windows listed in the weekly reports. (They were previously called "Trade Windows", which probably led to more than a little confusion.) As a reminder to all, here's how they work. All tranx requests received up until the end of each team's window are queued for processing. Using the waiver wire order -- teams doing better after teams doing worse -- the requests are processed. If a request is sent after the end of a team's waiver wire window, it's processed on a first-come, first-served basis after the waiver wire tranx are processed. Because all "early" tranx requests are ordered according to the waiver wire windows, tranx requests can be sent before the reports are posted -- and there's no advantage gained in sending them early. (Whether the request is sent on Monday or Wednesday makes no difference.) A couple more notes: -- Bye weeks run through Week 10. Don't forget to check the schedule to see which teams are off when assembling your lineups. -- I'm going to "babysit" the Airballers in Lg II this season. Allen is still on the distribution lists for Lg II and will resume day-to-day control in 2003. As RAFFLE's original founder, I'm bending the owner- ship rules a bit for him. There's only one other owner who I'll bend the ownership rules for -- me. :) (Otherwise, _everyone_ plays under the same rules, even me.) The updated FFLM files for all three leagues have been posted to my space on Vnet's web server. (Links to the files are on the RAFFLE home page.)
