Playoffs week 1

[Tracer Bullet]

I think someone has to set the playoff matchups. Looks like steve and bob get the byes. I play Adam and tim plays Al.

 

And all the moves made today (and hereafter) will have to be undone after the season.

by the way, the rule is not that rosters "revert" back to today at the end of the season. it's that people can't keep players that are picked up after today (which is also kind of dumb).

[Tracer Bullet]

The rule the last couple years is that rosters reverted back to 8/31.

Otherwise, I want Wong and Castellanos back

[sneakypower]

last year, rosters were reverted

[abuck1220]

Otherwise, I want Wong and Castellanos back

 

better put in a waiver claim then

[Tracer Bullet]

Oh [expletive] off. We're not changing the rules again.

[abuck1220]

so the playoffs should just be a frenzy of ramificationless adds/drops?

 

how would you like it if, on Sunday, you and I had a close matchup and I saw that freeman was getting the day off so I dropped him (knowing I would get him back). then I lost but your next opponent picked up freeman (hey no skin off my back, I get him back for some stupid reason) and then freeman scores 40 pts against you in the semis?

[abuck1220]

the "rule" was created a) to prevent non playoff teams from interfering with the playoffs by picking up guys the playoff teams might want to use and b) to prevent the playoff teams from gaining an advantage by allowing them to nab some out of nowhere keeper that non playoff teams wouldn't have access to.

 

it was NOT created to give playoff teams a 50 man playoff roster. I guess you can have the guys back that you stupidly dropped after the playoffs are over, but don't come crying to me if someone claims them on waivers and keeps them for their own playoff run.

 

this "rule" will be changed next yr.

[Tracer Bullet]

I dropped them knowing someone could use them in the playoffs (or I could add them again if they're FAs). That's a risk but it was worth it. What harm do other playoff teams have from this system? Everyone plays by the same rules while they're in the playoffs.

Thank you Kluber.
