blonde NFL Fantasy League 2019/20

The first task of this will be to get the roster sizes down to 30 players, as some teams will have more due to last season's IR players being returned to the line up.  Feel free to do your own pruning of your rosters, but please restrict yourselves to only dropping players for now.

clicking "drop player" to get to 30 i get

"The league has not drafted. You cannot make this action. (Error #156)"

Looks like I might need to do the updates first then.  It's always a bit of a faff getting the thing set up.  Will take a look this evening.

Failing that, feel free to give me a list of people to drop.

[ForthThistle]

Sorry. I don't have any Players on my team.

Just had a go at dropping players to get my roster down to 30 but got the same message as Rich too.

[TightEnd]

still tonight?

confirmed order?

12 hours for picks?

dropped names to get to 30 beforehand to Curtis?

[ChipRich]

Can we pick yet?

[Sheriff Fatman]

Apologies for the delay but haven't yet had chance to get the set up sorted.  Will try and resolve this evening and get things moving ASAP.

I've sent a few trade offers via PM as wasn't sure we could do it thru the Yahoo site at the mo.

As Usual I'm all ears.

Cheers

Did it work ok bud?

[TightEnd]

can we have a final draft order and crack on please?

[TightEnd]

Not tonight either? Frustrating.

[ForthThistle]

Any update when we will kick off.

[bobby1]

Has anyone heard from Curtis recently?

[Tal]

I have PMd him and offered to help with the draft admin.

Not had a response, so posting here, in case he sees this.

Would like to get going with the draft. I appreciate having to re-enter all the rosters is likely a pain, so happy to help with that this week. Would think all that's needed is for me to be set up as a co/deputy commissioner. Can see all last year's rosters on the site.

If anyone has any other contact details for him (facebook etc), please pass this message on for me.

Thanks Tal, youve got my vote

Hi guys

Apologies for the hiatus, due to a combination of things including another busy spell at work.

I've also had some PC issues to deal with, following a hard-drive failure on my desktop PC, which ultimately resulted in a new PC being purchased.  Unfortunately, the PC in question was the one with my saved spreadsheets with the league history in it.  The new PC is now installed and I've just recovered the necessary files from a NAS drive backup so can get things set up during the course of the day.

Happy to add Tal as a co-commissioner, and appreciate the offer.  Will do so later today, but have to take my daughter for a hospital clinic appointment this morning so it'll be around lunchtime when I'm back online to get the setup sorted.  Just wanted to post a quick message to advise status.

Site-wise, the main issue in setup I need to sort out is fooling the Yahoo site into thinking that the draft has already happened, as we effectively do our draft via free agent pickups.  In previous years this has involved having to re-create the rosters as if they'd been drafted, so there's a certain stage in the process where you're faced with blank rosters, which is why the historic data is required as a fall-back.  I now have access to the data again, so can get this done.  I'd hoped to have been able to do this earlier, but it hasn't proved possible, so apologies for the frustration.

Expect further updates later in the day.
