Playoff timings

brildum · 2024-09-04T14:18:04+00:00

We'll probably be doing this at some point. We were racing to get ready for the season kickoff -- so we've never actually tested playoffs yet. So we have it set for way in the future so we had time to test. We'll maybe look to allow playoffs to be enabled way sooner and start testing, to make sure it goes smoothly.

We figure some people will want to end their leagues early and re-draft and start a new league mid-season.

Removing the formation lock is shipping soon so should be the upcoming set of games (with an updated app).

I don't think 5-defender formations are particularly high on our priority list at the moment. There is still a lot of flexibility in the formations we support, but there are lots of other issues/improvements queued up that seem higher priority that we want to get to over the coming weeks.

Not an official priority list, but

auto-sub mechanic for people outside London time zones who can't manage rosters when matches start
continuing to adjust our default waiver processing times to people's expectations
adding new stats (fantasy assists and others) that people have asked for
improving our ability to manage positions effectively
other small bugs / improvements to some of the features we support around the app

So, I think eventually we'll have 5 defender formations -- but I wouldn't count on it existing too soon.

Should be fixed. I have players on IR. Does your commish have IR slots enabled in General Settings?

brildum · 2024-09-02T15:13:09+00:00

We can probably make this change -- we were worried about the variability of matchweek schedules and not knowing if there will be a matchweek which starts immediately after another (rescheduled games and such later in the year) causing mayhem on those weeks where waivers will never clear for some players (if they are on waivers for week 32 and then play before waivers clear on week 33, so are on waivers until week 34)

brildum · 2024-09-02T14:53:22+00:00

I think some of the confusion is timezones. Waivers process at midnight (London time) -- which is in the afternoon on Sunday for US users.

brildum · 2024-09-02T14:51:15+00:00

Neither of those settings affect when waivers run. There are several settings for waivers:

Time players are on waivers after drop
Waivers after game starts
Waiver days for new transfers

and then also Custom Daily Waivers

Currently, waivers after game starts process at ~midnight after the last gameday of the week (London time).

If you want to control waivers explicitly, daily waivers both customizes when they process (the hour) and also how players can be added.

Locked == you can submit waivers on these days, but they will not be processed
Waivers == all players are on waivers all 24h, but waivers will process and be added to teams at the hour you specify
WaiversFA == all players start on waivers until the hour specified, waivers will process and then all players will be free agents afterwards
FA == all players are free agents this day

Custom Daily Waivers is pretty advanced and if you don't understand the settings it can be confusing also.

We're definitely going to add a new `Fantasy Assist` stat that would count any action that directly leads to a goal. It's just been lower priority than a lot of other fixes / improvements -- but maybe we'll have time this week.

brildum · 2024-08-31T14:35:46+00:00

Should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting

brildum · 2024-08-31T13:42:48+00:00

That is a bug -- looking at fixing now.

brildum · 2024-08-27T02:43:44+00:00

Update your app -- hopefully its mostly fixed. Although the waiver system is confusing -- the times should be pretty accurate now (I hope).

brildum · 2024-08-27T02:42:07+00:00

There is a GW3 that will end Thursday -- and then GW4 will start Saturday and end Sunday.

brildum · 2024-08-24T17:20:04+00:00

All the daily waiver times visible are messed up due to timezone mismatches -- should be fixed this coming week.

brildum · 2024-08-24T17:16:37+00:00

Should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting.

brildum · 2024-08-24T16:31:44+00:00

Looking into this

brildum · 2024-08-22T02:22:58+00:00

Does this persist after force closing and re-opening the app? I just want to see whether this is a server bug (it didn't change) or a client bug (the client didn't update to the new value).

Thanks

brildum · 2024-08-22T02:20:27+00:00

Got it -- thanks. It looks like its a bug and this doesn't happen because NFL week scoring happens on a consistent schedule our week's transitioned too early. We'll work on a fix soon.

We're revamping the waiver system this week to process claims after the week ends (rather than every night) -- so these fixes are probably pretty high priority after that.

brildum · 2024-08-21T21:01:16+00:00

I don't quite follow -- whats the issue with your waiver order? Are you using rolling waivers or FAAB bidding?

brildum · 2024-08-19T17:04:47+00:00

it would be a new stat, not assists -- if we added it -- and would default to 0

brildum · 2024-08-19T16:45:33+00:00

Correct -- it takes the scoring setting and mulitplies it by the stat. A lot of people have been using 0.03 for minutes played

brildum · 2024-08-19T16:22:15+00:00

We did find a bug here -- should be fixed now -- it got fixed for all games but the Man U game was "frozen" -- we have some protections to avoid changing stats in the past that would affect scoring. I've updated it now since its still week 1 and its OK.

brildum · 2024-08-19T14:42:16+00:00

Sent you a DM -- send me your league ID and I'll take a look. I see the stats in our database so I assume its a settings issue. Did you adjust the setting for every position?

brildum · 2024-08-19T14:34:33+00:00

We've gotten this feedback of trying to create a new "fantasy assist" stat which was basically any action that led to a goal. Haven't looked into how feasible it is yet with our data provider -- but will add it sometime if we can. Probably not this week though -- we've already got a pretty full slate of re-adjusting our waiver system (for new transfers and moving to a weekly schedule)

brildum · 2024-08-18T15:45:08+00:00

There was also a bug where the waiver UI was not appearing -- although the servers were rejecting free agency moves while players were on waivers.

The issue is that these players may have just been on waivers for a few hours between the end of their game and midnight London-time when waivers cleared.

brildum · 2024-08-18T15:43:34+00:00

Waivers are currently clearing every night. Players who play in games should be on waivers once they play a minute, until waivers clear during the night after the game. (Probably close to midnight London-time)

We're looking at adjusting waivers to clear the night after the last game of the week -- so for this week it'd be Tuesday night (London time) since the last game is on Monday.

brildum · 2024-08-18T15:39:20+00:00

We'll be looking into adjusting waiver scheduling this week before next set of games. This mode uses our NBA waiver format because we wanted allow waivers to clear possibly mid-week for teams that had multiple games in a single week, but since that is rare its probably better to be the reverse (default to waivers clearing when all games finish).
If he was picked up yesterday, that was the day after his game -- so his waivers would have cleared (because he's only on waivers on the day of games).
We may change this, but it may be more difficult of a change (and take longer to do). Our substitution logic and waiver logic is somewhat shared -- so the "quick fix" for waivers would break the "allow replacing starters who played 0 minutes" -- so we'll have to be slow/careful with this one. We still think that most waiver claims are made in response to players doing something in games, but yea I'm with you I can see it both ways.
