Ok, so after tonight's drafts we can expect a post in this thread listing who has been booted and then their teams are released to the available pool?

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
There was an issue in FLR League one, and I would like to get some input from the other people in the league. Please, imagine yourself in my position. I took the time to make my list and submitted it on time. When it got to my turn (with back to back picks at the end of round 1), my top 3 teams were 610, 229 and 145. I ended up with 145 and 610. I posted in the thread, pointing out the error. I then got a PM from EricH with a trade proposal so I can get 229 by trading some of my other teams. I declined, saying that I don't think it is fair for my to trade away my other teams for a team that should be mine.

I have offered two other solutions:
1. Rerun the draft. (yes, it would take some extra work, but there is the life lesson of if you don't want to do things again, do them right the first time)
2. Swap out 145 for (another) 229. There would be two 229s in the draft, but I don't think that is a big problem.

Does anyone have any problems with either of these solutions? Do you have a better solution?

Chris is me 08-12-2009 13:49

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
A really sticky situation indeed. I think rerunning the draft is the "most fair" solution, but that takes work and time many of us don't have, so I'd go with the second solution just to be done with it.

RMiller 08-12-2009 13:59

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
Talk to Barry about his Traverse City draft. He was 4th to select and didn't get anyone in his top five. I also had an issue in the same draft, though not as bad as Barry's.
Ultimately it is just a game (even if I have stayed up too late many a night creating my team list), so it is hard for me to work up too much frustration. On top of that, Ed and Eric are doing this on their own time and I can't see it being an easy task so it isn't worth being mad at them either.

I am trading 340 to Eric for 229 and then trading 229 to you for 145 and then dumping 145 for 2228 and that will be the end of it.

You should get the teams that were on your list. Anything other then that is not right and is totally wrong.

(I've had this done to me already this season.)

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
I take an hour analyzing every regional, and put an extra bit of time creating a slick looking excel sheet. I put between 8-10 hours in every week.

This game is run by volunteers trying to give everyone a good time. There are two solutions: Run drafts yourself (which I have done in the past and enjoyed doing), or be sure you are online at 7:00 every night to correct mistakes IMMEDIATELY. Ed and Eric are on almost every night at 7, and their lives are just as busy as mine. both are accommodating to mistakes that occur soon after it has been made.

I was not online at 7 on Saturday, I was watching football. I didn't get my pick, I was frustrated with it, voiced my concern, and Eric said he updated his program. I have no right to a rerun of the draft; I'm looking forward to his new program to get all of the bugs out of it so future years can be run flawlessly.

I think I caught the last one today during some spare time. I'll give it another couple-three drafts to make sure I haven't missed anything, then get a how-to together and get it posted somewhere. The really good part of the program is that if it fails, you still have all the lists and orders in a text file, so doing it manually becomes a lot easier. I've had to do that more than once when a bug came along.

And if you'd like to run a draft and see just how frustrating it can really be, we may have an opening tomorrow night, if a second runner hasn't been located. We'll certainly have some later in December and early January.

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
I would like to thank Eric and Ed for working the problem out. I certainly understand how difficult it must be and appreciate fixing the problem. Thanks!

I agree that this is just for fun, but if there are a lot of problems and people don't get the teams they want, then I don't think it is very fun (it would be easy to give everyone random teams but that really isn't much fun). That being said, I don't think it is anywhere close to that point.

Think was the operative word here. That bug cropped up again tonight, and forced me out of the program mid-draft. (I don't like to argue with computer programs). So I did some rewriting and totally squashed it. Still going to be a couple of drafts of testing before I release the program, though. Might also be some cosmetic work on the outputs, but that doesn't count as work.

(And if you ask how totally it was squashed, I deliberately tried to trigger the function that had been at fault by both methods it's called. It triggered exactly when it was supposed to, and operated flawlessly.)

Cass Tech
 
The Cass Tech drafting starts at 6:00 EST tonight. This is a change from normal; I had something come up almost at the last minute. This is also a one-time change, and confined to Cass Tech.

Also, I have a request that may sound odd to some of you. Could some of you who send in lists add in a team or two that isn't attending, in random locations? I'd like to fully verify that the program I've been working on works under "battle conditions", specifically a function that checks for teams that aren't attending at all. Don't worry, I'll be checking manually to make sure that you don't get a non-attending team.

I've posted that drafting program I've been working on to CD-Media. It is fully functional, though there may be tweaks that need to be made eventually. If you're going to use it, you should probably take a look at the instruction sheet that's with it.

I read the instructions and I think I royally screwed up somewhere. I extracted the folder, copied the example lists (changing the initial 5 in the second line to one) into a .txt file next to the .exe. I ran the program and input 2 for the number of players and input the name of the .txt fil and the window closes on me.

Does the file name have any spaces in it? (And did you remember the extension?) Either one of those will cause the program to quit suddenly.

The dreaded spaces.

I am confused on how to set up the txt file. I know we are suppose to have a random list first, does that get a -1?

No. If you do and run out of teams, somebody gets the elusive team -1, who loses every game they play...

The first one won't be too hard to do; expect an update out later today. As for the second, that's part of why I have an instruction sheet. We'll see what I can do.

before you go for that update, can you make L assign teams going through the serpentine. So that L takes the place of L, L, L, L, L, L....

I honestly have no idea how to do that right now. Maybe I'll figure that out over Christmas break. I think I addressed that in the FAQs.

Here's what happens when you press L currently:
The program notes that the character is L, assigns one variable, and calls a list-picking function. That function checks for player lists, then enters a for loop where it first checks for the end of list flag, then checks if the team is taken. When it finds a team that isn't already picked, it verifies that they are attending (and triggers an alert if they aren't, which is what I was checking last night) and assigns them, then goes back into the main loop. The status is displayed, and the program waits for an input.

To do the list picking, I'd have to assign the next input to be L, which would keep it going until someone didn't have a list or ran out of teams on their list. The problem is, I'd need to do a lot of testing to make sure it didn't go into an infinite loop.

I don't remember offhand. I'll see if I can get something together before tonight's drafts start. I wonder why I did that too...

Edit: I've updated the program to reflect that I figured that out.

If we are, I won't be able to run it. I've got a 2-hour Differential Equations final at 4 Mountain Time (6 EST). Matter of fact, I'm pretty much out of running drafts this year; internet access will be not at guaranteed times until after Kickoff. (I can still do scoring, recording and some attendance; those don't need a given time.)

Draft setup program
 
I was going to play around with Eric's drafting program last night and ended making what is for now a totally separate program. It can be found over in CD Media.

The program takes an ordered list of attending teams and a separate order list of all players in the league. It will generate a file with the randomized teamlist and a file for each tier with output formatted for direct posting here to CD. If you encase the created tier text in [code] tags the alignment will be exact, otherwise it will be approximate like is seen in most current drafts.

I forgot to put this in the instructions I just uploaded, but the format for the time is "hh:mm" including the colon.

I have only done limited testing on this program so if you are going to try and use it for an actual draft please make sure you are checking the output closely.

Sample output:
Code:

XaulZan11.............7:00......7:54......7:56
RMiller...............7:05......7:52......7:57
sunger92..............7:10......7:50......7:58
rtfgonw...............7:15......7:48......7:59
Akash.................7:20......7:46......8:00

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
I have uploaded a modified version of Eric's drafting program. This version uses player names instead of numbers and is designed to work with the "tier files" created by the FFDraftSetup program.

If you want to use this program without FFDraftSetup you will have to create a file with the correct formatting. The formatting should be very similar to what you are posting on CD with a few minor differences. All times must be either h:mm or hh:mm. There must be a single / before the start of the available teams list.

Pick lists files no longer need a list for every player. Pick lists are cleansed of any teams not attending while being read in.

In my version there are no overrides for teams not on the list of attending teams.

I'm sure I made other changes, but I don't remember what they were at the moment. See the modified instructions file for more info.

Feel free to send questions/comments/bug reports via PM or email. My email is my username@gmail.com

FYI: Neither program has been thoroughly tested and bugs will likely not be fixed until late Tuesday night at the earliest.

Sorry guys. I have some family over. The Troy draft is postponed until tomorrow. Keep picking if you are ready.

Looks like I have enough time to get more of the way through it, though. I can probably keep it going until I have to knock off (after it's done). Bear in mind, though, that I probably don't have your lists (especially in Tier 2--If more don't show up while I'm here, then that one will go to tomorrow).

Ericgehrken has missed the five previous fantasy draft and has been issued a warning PM. If he does not participate in tomorrow night's draft he will be dropped from the league.
This is his second absenteeism offense. If he does manage to save his status he will not be warned if he does it again and will just be dropped without a PM.

Good thing you didn't go forward with it. Everyone but EricG and Dargel sent in a list.

I am rerunning the Troy draft based on some lists not being given to Eric when he stepped in to help out.

Any picks made in the thread will be kept the same if possible.

Ericgehrken has been booted from the league.
His alliances are free agents to be traded for on a first come first served basis.

Alex just made out like a bandit on that one. ha ha.

Vikes and I got a couple good ones, but I think Alex is now headrunner for winning the Elgin this year.

I had the threads bookmarked and ready....I guess Alex is just too fast. Or too much free time on his hands. ;)

Great minds act alike, had like six tabs open... looked at my clock that said "5:47", and I died a little.

So if Ed is running Boston is rtfgnow running Lonestar? If so you might want to clear out some space in your PM box for people to send you lists. If not, I think I am available and could run it if necessary.
