Our first week of the new waiver system is here. These are your important dates and information for the Blind Bidding
Q. How much can we spend on blind bidding per season?
A. $100.00 Everyone has the same amount to start the season.
Q. When can we submit bids for waivers/pickups?
A. Bid can be submitted starting at the kickoff of the LAST game of the week.
Q. Why can I not submit blind bids sooner than kickoff of the last game of the week?
A. With the new rule change of being able to pickup free agents until the Monday night game kickoff [unless the game has started for the player you wanted to acquire], the website no longer allows you to submit pickups until every game has started.
Q. When do blind bid waivers process?
A. Wednesday at 9:00 PM. The system will then process these bids and players will be awarded based on the highest bidder.
Q. How much do pickups cost?
A. Weeks 1-10 they are $2.00, Weeks 11-13 they are $5.00. Rosters are locked once the playoff start.
Q. After the blind bid waivers process, can I still pick up players?
A. Yes. You are then allowed to pick up players in the FCFS [First Come, First Served] format. In other words, a free for all.
Q. What if I spend my $100.00 before the season runs out?
A. You can still bid on players, but your bid is $0.00. Good luck at that homer.
Q. So how do we submit blind bids?
A. Exactly the same as last year, except you must include a dollar amount for the free agent you want to acquire?
Q. Can I still make conditional picks like last year?
A. Of course you can. Conditional blind bids are a lot like waiver request waiver moves, in that owners can enter multiple rounds of waiver moves, and prioritize their picks in each round. Each rounds worth of requests is looked at, top to bottom, and the first bid that is considered valid is the one that the system will accept, ignoring future bids in that round.
Q. What if I didn't bid high enough on the free agent and wasn't awarded the player?
A. Bid higher next time.
Q. What if there is a tie for a free agent?
A. Good question. We then revert to the old sort criteria using the 'worst to first' manner. [Winning percentage. Total points scored. Then power rank.]
Q. Can the commish see all of the submitted blind bids and have an advantage?
A. Absolutely. However, once the commissioner applies the 'lock out option' he will no longer have access to this information. NOTE: I will be updating some of the graphics and must unlock my permissions. I will only do this during the FCFS period and will re-apply the lock out once I complete my task. You will see the emails when I do this.
Q. Is there additional help for how to enter blind bid request?
A. yes. http://football4.myfantasyleague.com/2010/support?L=48580&FAQ=537
