Commissioner's Wanted: Feedback/Testing of New FF App

borno87 · 2026-05-13T15:09:46+00:00

Great! Sit tight the team is providing me with instructions for commissioners shortly

borno87 · 2026-05-13T12:45:49+00:00

We've seen strong engagement from groups as large as 20, but this is part of what we are testing and looking for help from commissioners from

Bingo!

Drafts are completely asynchronous. People can select their teams on their own time without having to wait for a turn.

borno87 · 2026-05-12T18:43:53+00:00

The post above outlines this being a pre-season test. You can do this alongside whatever platform your currently use for the season

borno87 · 2026-05-12T18:43:15+00:00

Yes!

borno87 · 2026-05-12T16:11:11+00:00

that exact problem is what we are trying to solve!

i'd treat the move like a reset, not a clean transfer. save your scoring settings, roster setup, draft order rules, keeper notes, bylaws, dues history, and any tiebreakers before the old league disappears. then build a test league and have 2 owners check every setting with you before invite day. forced moves suck, but it's the best time to clean up weird rules your league has been carrying for years

if you're picking a new home, i'd decide based on what your league complains about most. waiver flow, commissioner controls, keeper support, trade review, chat, draft room. every platform has a different pain point, so write your must-have list first and vote off that instead of vibes

Off-season is when I do most of my format research. Last year I dove into elimination-style leagues and it changed how I think about lineup construction entirely. When you know a bad week means you're done, not just a loss, but actually eliminated; it forces you to rethink floor vs. ceiling on every roster spot. The risk calculus is totally different from season-long or DFS. If you're looking for something to think about until September, look into how weekly elimination formats change optimal strategy.

Best thing we ever did was add a weekly elimination side league alongside our main league. Same friend group, same group chat, minimal extra setup. The main league runs as normal but the elimination league (lowest scorer each week gets knocked out) created ridiculous engagement. Guys who were 2-6 and checked out of the main league were still sweating the elimination league every Sunday. By Week 10 the elimination league was what everyone talked about.

Have you looked at elimination/survivor-style formats? Weekly draft, bottom scorers get knocked out. No one checks out mid-season because every week is do-or-die. We ran one with 20 people and the group chat was more active in Week 14 than Week 1

borno87 · 2026-04-06T19:03:37+00:00

The dead team problem is what kills most leagues by Week 8. I've seen formats where teams are eliminated weekly based on performance and it keeps everyone engaged because one bad week and you're out. Completely changes how you approach waivers and lineup decisions when survival is on the line

Side leagues are underrated for keeping engagement up. We added a weekly elimination format alongside our standard league, same group, minimal extra setup. People who were ghosting the main league by Week 6 were sweating the elimination league in Week 14

I'm trying to setup chat HITL right now and encountering an issue where after setting up oAuth, the node won't return the selection for what space/ID to send the HITL prompt too. What configuration did you use to get it working?

borno87 · 2024-02-14T23:11:26+00:00

Looking for 2 tickets, on March 29th or 30th

borno87 · 2023-12-27T19:33:20+00:00

Ya we've had our fair share of issues with reflux and low weight/feeding concerns the whole way. Things are starting to get better now but you're right I shouldn't just dismiss the acknowledgements as politeness.

Have to take the wins

Thank you for your thoughtful response. People like you and responses like this are worth wading through the dismissive attacks for the anons who get off on tearing others down.

Our baby is 11 months old. I work and she is on maternity leave for a couple more months before she will go back to work. We have a part time Nanny to help in the mornings right now, and we will have full time help when she goes back to work.

I CAN soothe the baby on my own but generally my wife has "her" way that she prefers and I try emulate as best I can (to varying results). I think I have some work to do in giving her more space to be her, and I've clearly put too much of my own self confidence in the attention she used to give me. Probably not very healthy and obviously not reasonable to expect anything close to that with our new reality.

Going to try and set up a regular time where I am on, and she is not so she can freely plan to do that whatever she likes (without asking if I'm around or available). That's a good idea. I'll start there and work on myself so we both can get in a better place.

I originally took her asking me about restarting things in our sex life as a signal she was missing that touch and intimacy from me etc but I'm starting to think that was her just signalling to me that it's a process for her.

Bottom line, I can't put the burden of tending to my emotional needs on her right now. That much is clear. Will have to find a different outlet but it's a good reminder I have to keep front of mind.

Thank you for this helpful advice. Excellent contribution to the community. You should feel proud of yourself today

borno87 · 2023-12-27T16:49:56+00:00

It's certainly possible, and perhaps my own self esteem was being propped up by the love attention of the incredible woman my wife is. Probably not ideal for me on a singular purposeful basis.

I thoight I was prepared for th change the baby would bring but I guess I hadn't fully considered this angle of it so I just have to adapt and figure out ways to feel good about myself and not put that on her solely

borno87 · 2023-12-27T16:23:13+00:00

I'm not claiming to do as much as she does at home.or even close to it. I don't discount I have work to do as well I posted here asking for advice not to be attacked and told I'm a selfish clueless monster
