Guys, I presumably have got everything set up at home to turn the lineups section over automatically upon the kickoff of tonight's game (like had been the case in recent years up until last year)!  However, I was rushing this morning when I programmed it in, and it is Week 1 AND a full season separated from the last time I programmed this stuff. SO, here is to hoping it flies...  If not, unfortunately it will not be until fairly late tonight after I get back home from tending to my mother. Sorry in advance if that ends up being the case.

Well, good news and (as you all probably know by now) bad news... Good news is what I programmed in in a rushed-up manner this morning all went well. Everything uploaded in the right way at the right time!  Bad news is our "new", as of 2017,  web-hosting provider for that part of the website did not get done what they needed to. Mind you, I used to take care of all this myself usually without hitch for yeeears with the old web host. But, the "new" web host has their rules, and users are not allowed to. Anyway, I am going to do the week's transactions now. The lineups section will probably be fully functional sometime tomorrow (Friday, that is). Hopefully this will be the only week this happens.  Over and out...

I just submitted my lineup, too, without hitch. 
But, ANYway...

Ugh... Last week it was the techies' fault. This week it is mine.  I know everything on "their" end (which they have given me some more direct control over, by the way) is good to go this week. BUT, I just now realized that I forgot to set up the upload from "my end" this morning before I left the house.  So, again, this week the lineups-submission section will not get turned over until I get home later,... actually,... rather late tonight (my time). It is going to be a really interesting week of free-agency, too. I am so sorry!  Thanks for your anticipated patience, though.

I do NOT at present have a credit-card processor (long story, but I went through a nightmare last year, not so much due to the company with which I was working, but with changing laws as regards fantasy football, in general, in Hawaii, specifically -- bottom line, I did not receive ANY of you all's payments that were made by credit card last year until midway through January... ugh)! That said, you may have noticed by visiting the "Site Donors" thread on "the Sidelines" that Joe has already paid his league fee (with a little added -- thank you, Joe). He just sent me a check. If you want to do that, pop me a message requesting my home address, preferably right here on "the Gridiron" via private message. The alternative is to send it through PayPal to theGridiron@FantasyFootballer.com. |

Heyas, guys... Thank you to those who have already sent me "enhanced" league fees.  Personalized thank yous are up on the thread on "the Sidelines".
With that said, the league fee is due by kickoff next Thursday, that is, Week 4. If you were to ask me if I have a preference regarding how I receive it, this year I would say by check. BUT, that means that unless you do not care about picking up free-agents next week, you should get it out in the mail to me SOON. In that case, private-message or text me a.s.a.p. to get my home address. Anyway, whatever you want to do... Just FYI-ing yous. Over and out...

Well, it should all be good to go this week on all fronts! At 8:20 this evening (ET), lineups should become viewable.

Seems like this is cropping up again. Received a couple reports this morning from guys getting an error when going to input their lineups. If this happens to you, please keep me abreast preferably by way of a post here, so I can stay on top of it. Thank you!

FYI, Dave Trout texted me his lineup... He had problems with the lineup-submission form today. He is going to try again. However, if he is unable to try again or still experiences the problem and cannot submit his lineup, I will get it submitted. But, I will not be able to get around to doing so until quite some time after tonight's kickoff. Over and out...

Made changes to my Week 6 lineup... Just resubmitted it to DB. Do not have time right now to go into the system to change it. So, it too will not be fully correctly reflected in the lineups section come tonight's kickoff. That said, the only difference is that my lineup is expunged of Rex Burkhead. Ugh... Again, over and out...

Update... Okay, so I just got Travis's (yes, you are fine, T.) and Trout's lineups posted!  I will fix mine when I get home (I am still in my office). That said, all you have to do with mine is just read that loser "Rex Burkhead"  totally out of it... That is all!  Alright,... again,... over and out...

Ugh... Dominoes... It seems that one fix has caused another problem to crop up. As of right now, we are ALL unable to access each others' lineups for the week. I think this will get rectified quickly (hopefully by tomorrow) because I do not think it is a complicated problem, but if not, please just share your lineups with each other for now by other means: here on "the Gridiron", by text, etc. Thank you for your anticipated understanding, patience and cooperation!

An opportunity to clarify... My RB lineup against Frank (Game #2) reads as follows:
B_RB1: Derrick Henry
B_RB2: Matt Breida
B_RB3: (Free-agent)
B_RB4: Ty Montgomery
B_RB5: Carlos Hyde
If I picked up two running backs (which I ended up doing), I wanted them both listed ahead of Montgomery in my game against Frank. However, since I listed it like that, only the free-agent running back that I picked up first would be listed ahead of Montgomery. The other would just be put at the end. That is not what I intended, but that is what it is. (That is what I get for making last-minute changes.) That said, it will not matter as long as Henry, Breida and McKissic all get at least one touch (or, I suppose, if not, if Montgomery gets none, which is very possible).

Fellas, small, but notable heads-up here...
With 12 protection spots and 22-man rosters now, remember that we now have a 10-round draft! SO, as we customarily do in the GBRFL, when you get someone's current last draft pick to even out a trade of picks or protection spots, you are NOT getting a 9th-rounder, you are getting a 10th-rounder!
Joe, make sure to adjust the 2021 draft grid accordingly. When I update the transactions page tomorrow,... eh-hem,... later today,  I will have amended things accordingly, so you can double-check things then.

I thought expanding the rosters was for this year only due to covid.

While I do think that the CCP Wuhan-lab coronavirus was the impetus of our discussing it, Steve, that was never specified. In fact, I remember when the discussion commenced, my mentioning that when we ran the league with nine teams in the past, that is how many roster spots we had. As I recall it, the proposal became do we want to revert back to 22, especially but not only because of the CCP Wuhan-lab coronavirus. That said, this is a small matter. We can vote on it again and adjust again come summertime if we want. Thing is, I would not be surprised that another vote would result in our not returning to 21 roster spots, but expanding to 23. LOL! I think with nine teams 22 seems about right. But, I digress. I really do not care.
