In Response to Re: SRL: Introducing "Free Agency" : Your compromise is discriminatory,people who did not play last night can apply for your score and improve their position.People who do not play in future weeks should be afforded the same opportunity. Posted by chrispip
Did you read my reply to your earlier post?
Everyone now knows that, going forward, you can't miss a week (i.e. not "pay to play") and expect your scores to improve. So, going forward, the rules are clear.
There was a large number of absent players last night: some forgot the league started on the 24th; others didn't get the tournament details in time. Either way, I feel it's only fair to extend a one-week "amnesty."
a better twist would have been to allow everyone to change 1 'a' score and one 'b' score for yours on any given week, but by the next day so they couldnt wait to decide at the end! this would have been fair to all, not just the few!
By my reckoning, if 4 people per league ask for a trade each week, by week 5, the 4/5 remaining players have a 50/50 chance to trade up..... It should make weeks 3 & 4 very interesting indeed......... unless of course there are any further "twists" Great Idea JH Posted by kaymac
Yeh! brilliant,by week 4 thirty two players, or over 1/3 of the entrants (probably at the bottom of the league)will now be near the top of the league, and all the players who run consistant will be caught up, the only ones out of it will be sky mandy, j hartigan and all the discarded out of the hatters!

Why is everyone so concerned about James' finishing position, he may be out 1st each week going forward....... and he may even sit out one week so there is no benefit trading....
ok, put my name in the hat please James,Horrible score in the bh after running my two pair into your set,which i knew you had and told you so,and you even comfirmed it in the chatbox before hand lol.I just had to look,my bad
This moment of madness leaves me in bad position,i was hoping that the twist was going to involve removing worst couple of results,but hey my only hope now is to ask for a trade.cheers..
According to my calculations I have a 2 out of 3 chance to improve my stack by a third - them be the right odds. So I'm in for a trade - Mattless - South
In Response to Re: SRL: Introducing "Free Agency" : I have a variety of baseball caps. I'll select one and get my two-year-old daughter to pull names out of it It's odds-on that she selects Machka - even if he doesn't request a trade! Posted by J-Hartigan
But how will the 'hat' selection be random if you select the hat? How do we know it isnt tilted slightly and how do we know that we can we trust your daughter? ))
Darn it, forgot all about the deadline. Had a stinker in week 1.
Personally I like this twist, it's a good laugh and unique. Then again if I did take James' finishing positions I would have to take a 2 hour shower while muttering 'The dirt's not coming off, the dirt's not coming off...'
In Response to Re: SRL: Introducing "Free Agency" : Hi Dogman James posted a thread several weeks ago and asked everyone if they wanted to play, All you had to do was register. Posted by JockBMW
