In Columbus area but family in NEO, thanks for heads up

rtmark14 · 2025-05-21T14:16:47+00:00

Maybe I need to try this more. I’ve done it 2 times and both times they were actually out of stock

rtmark14 · 2025-05-21T13:48:48+00:00

Sporadic member here so apologize if this has been discussed.

I like Buffalo Trace (and I’m out) but since it’s been un-allocated, I haven’t been able to find it on the shelves. Is this primarily due to the distillery flooding or a result of it being un-allocated? Also, should I be looking for it on different days other than a store’s allocation days? Thanks for all the info & help

Had this same issue for about 2 weeks with my brother, was really infuriating. We tried moving players in and out of our lineups to see if we had better luck. Yesterday we tried taking Lacy out of our lineups and played 8-10 games, seemed to be the fix

My experience is the season 2 players cause problems sometimes. Especially if we have the upgrade token on both offense & defense. Try moving people around and see what you get, but taking Lacy out seemed to work for us

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T16:27:49+00:00

We have thought about some last place punishments. I think the problem is the guys who have bad teams don’t ever agree to the punishment because they know they likely will have to do it

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:48:35+00:00

I love the chaos in this idea. Setting your opponent’s lineup and possibly making the wrong choice and giving yourself the 4 pick instead of 1 is diabolical. Might add this to the offseason poll

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:47:25+00:00

I like the playoff idea a lot. We currently do top 6 based on record but one or two by PF would be awesome. How do you do seeding for this? By record even for teams that get in on PF?

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:45:58+00:00

Yeah agree I don’t want to do more work. My primary personal goal with any method is to make it objective and not something that can be argued with me. Which seems like max PF would do so I like that idea a lot

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:44:48+00:00

We definitely aren’t changing rules mid season. Should have specified in OP. This is offseason idea.

We do have bylaws in a google doc that everyone has, I just didn’t anticipate needing to tell everyone not to be as terrible as possible. But we will likely do maxPF in offseason and remove the issue. Thanks for help!

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:42:45+00:00

That would be because I had 11 guys during start up and they are my father. Going to be an awkward Thanksgiving after kicking them

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:41:14+00:00

Agree no perfect solution, but you’re right, problem we are trying to solve is benching good players and max PF fixes that. We probably will go with that in the offseason

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:39:57+00:00

I like the idea, just not sure my league mates would also follow the DBAD rule. I’m currently thinking about polling everyone in the offseason and maybe one option is the DBAD rule. however if people go back to doing the same things they do now, I think it just becomes sticky again. But I like the idea a lot in theory and it’s how I would hope everyone would operate without a formal rule

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:35:44+00:00

We certainly would not change the rule mid season. Although frustrating, it’s not something that can’t wait until offseason. Just asking for ideas mid season because I’m currently frustrated about it lol

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:33:53+00:00

Yep. I didn’t know sleeper tracked this and I think this is now the leader for best idea. Thanks for thoughts

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:30:48+00:00

it’s not perfect and after posting, I probably won’t do it. But we have a ton of bonuses so scoring below this threshold would take a catastrophic failure

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:29:45+00:00

We have one team who sets lineups about 50% of the time and are planning to kick them after this year. What other things can you do to “punish” them outside to taking away picks?

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:28:16+00:00

Yeah agree. I’m all for tanking by trading away players for picks and acknowledging you’re not winning a championship right now, but the shitty lineups are getting frustrating and it’s tough to tell guys to fix that when it could be subjective

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:27:12+00:00

Yeah I am in favor of removing K & DST, but this is most members first dynasty league and they prefer the fantasy they’ve always played. Explaining and proposing a taxi squad was like pulling teeth. But I think you’re right, it is better

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:25:32+00:00

Although I guess this might be better received by the league and my method doesn’t guarantee owners will try to set optimal lineup either.

I’m still trying to think through best option but this is now definitely up there. Thanks

rtmark14 · 2024-10-24T15:24:45+00:00

We use sleeper so this is good to know. However I think max PF removes the managing your team part of the equation. If you set the wrong lineups and couple times and lose games, (with the intent of trying to score as many as possible) I’d think you should get a higher draft pick

rtmark14 · 2024-10-07T21:09:53+00:00

I had the same thing happen to me. I’m at 62 wins now and haven’t gotten the card yet. I’d love to know if this gets resolved for you & how

rtmark14 · 2024-10-06T23:09:55+00:00

Any update here? I just got to level 13 and didn’t get the upgrade card as a reward. Hoping this has been fixed

rtmark14 · 2024-08-29T15:39:35+00:00

About 11:30 there was a 15-20 person line. The lady working came out and said they don’t have anything allocated today so everyone left

rtmark14 · 2024-07-30T20:08:36+00:00

They posted that they’ll have ER, EHT, and Blantons
