Can we add 4 bench spots to the 1st draft to put the prospects into. At least that way no one can pick them up?

We'll need to do something like this. I can remove their position eligibility (was going to do that as soon as the season begins) to see if that can help. With some other systems, you can also force players onto waivers. That might work. I'm scared about adding players for two main reasons - first, I don't want to monitor if people have the right people in their lineups or not. Right now Fantrax is able to say whether or not our rosters are valid, but by making this change, that function would disappear. The second thing is that we would need to be constantly increasing roster sizes. With trades, after a year or two we could end up with a roster size of 50 people. Most people having empty "roster" slots would probably cause more confusion than the occasional prospect getting picked up when he is claimed. Just my thoughts - I agree that we need to do something because the status quo isn't working well.

Yeah, knowing what I do about what things are like under the hood in Fantrax from another league I think this could definitely create a lot more problems than it solves. There will be cases where guys get claimed by mistake, but those can be reversed. One thing that would help is to create a master list of all the entry draft picks and post it on the forum for people to refer to. If someone is in doubt about whether a player has been claimed all they'd have to do is search the master list before making a claim on him. It's not a perfect solution, but it would help.

Hi Ford - that seems like a good step. I will still remove the eligibility, but will also post a list of protected players on the first page of Fantrax like I did with the scoring post.

In going to Fantrax it looks like changes are being tracked daily and not weekly. Can Commish clarify if changes are made once per week or daily?

I set the line changes to daily until the season starts. Then it will be weekly, effective every Monday.

Why can't we just create 4 more minor spots and stick them there.?
