I BB WW'd Jones, Mark CAR WR, and I have no idea why! Can't even figger who I even wanted, but it was a mistake! whacko2.gif
Anyway, I was going to drop him in the same week I drafted him. I checked OUR rules and there is nothing forbidding me from doing that, but upon further review all my other leagues forbid that and I think it is justified. So I want to propose a rule change for next year that a BB WW/FCFS player MUST be kept for at least a week.

Comments Welcome as always.

No need. We simply set MFL to lock all dropped players until the next BBs are run.

Wider note - pickup and immediate drop are sometimes done to deprive an opponent of a player. The lock that goes on the player post-drop prevents FCFS being used to pick him up, of course. That's why leagues typically don't allow it to happen.

From a personal point of view, I can't imagine spending so much time poring over rosters so that I'd have a clue who anyone else wanted to pick up. I can't even keep up with my own roster crock of poo. laughing.gif

Nod!
But it should be in the rules.
BTW...start Zach! Good play this week as he won't lose points. shrug.gif

Players dropped may not be picked up until the next week's FA/WW period.
