Sorry about that last night S&C. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't give the commish very much control during the draft, other than being able to pause it. If you're really unhappy about it we can vote on whether to re-draft, or if you want I'll refund your money. You just wouldn't be eligible for winning any prize money. Or if anyone has a suggestion let's hear it.

[JoeRedskin]

I would rather the refund than redraft.

I agree.

Next year we'll look at doing the league on ESPN, or another service that gives more in-draft control.

And regarding the rules can we please not wait til the last second again to suggest changes? I was kinda irked at that last night, can't lie.

[JoeRedskin]

What sort of changes are you talking about when you said "last second" suggestions?

Perhaps if you sent a simple "Please provide any suggested changes to [whatever ]. No changes will be considered after ____." Or just add the text "Please check scoring, positions, etc. No changes will be made to the settings prior to draft" when the draft reminder is sent. Maybe it cuts down on some of that.

When I opened the league I posted asking for everyone to review the scoring system. That was on July 6th.

15 minutes before the draft isn't the best time to be making changes.

[JoeRedskin]

lol true true. Maybe just a reminder at draft time (w/ the draft reminder) that no changes to the settings will be made.

Pretty much, any changes in the last week mess with any kind of prep. Gee, I have prepped for a PPR league that de-emphasizes QB scoring and allows for 4 WR's on game day - - So, yeah, lets make give more points for rushing emphasis and give more points to the passing game. That won't mess with my list.

[FRPLG]

Did the scoring system change for the Free League? That's sorta not cool to change the scoring system after the draft. If it was a pay league I'd be up in arms big time.

[JoeRedskin]

Yeah, it looks like it did: Predraft passing TD's were 4 pts and INT's a -2. I specifically downgraded my QB selection and didn't go after a top qb even though I had the chance. I double checked the scoring about an hour before b/c last year I didn't and discovered the downgraded TD points.

I drafted based on a 4 pt passing TD and -2 INT and 50 pass yards/pt. Would not have settled on Kolb/Bradford as my QB's if the QB position could crank up big points like it can now. It really magnifies the difference between the great, good and mediocre QB's.

Not sure why the changes were made, but I would like the settings to be changed back to what they were pre-draft. Sorry, this really doesn't seem fair.
