You put the teams in, right? That got me briefly when I checked, so I loaded up the Idaho team list and it ran fine.

Teams and players in, attempting to push the button does nothing at all except let me edit the spelling.

Edit - in the meantime I guess I'll swapped back to the older version so the drafts can go up tonight.

That sounds like a problem with Excel... Are you sure you're not in Design Mode (Developer-> Design Mode)?

Edit: Try redownloading when you get a chance. There might have been an issue with the upload yesterday, so I just pulled it down and reuploaded.

[JosephC]

Yeah its a problem with excel, reopening both drafts seems to have fixed it

For whatever reason, there weren't any buttons, just a yellow square that said "generate draft"

Oh. THAT.

That's something I've never been able to figure out, and it's been happening almost since I wrote the program. It's something in the way the buttons interact with Excel, so I fix it by a reopening of the draft (saving first!)

So has a list of the teams on waivers been developed, or is that still in production/needs to be started?

Needs to be started. I should be able to go through it in a couple of hours--have some automation on my side.

I've gotten some claims already, as some of you may be aware. HOWEVER, I have yet to put a waiver list together, and it will include ALL teams, not just the claimed ones. Once that list is out, I'll factor in the current claims and announce an end date.

Just a note for everybody, though: If you're submitting multiple claims, make sure you've got some indicator of priority (order of appearance works well).

Edit: A couple of things that I didn't mention earlier, but should have:
--Teams are on waiver if they were not in the initial draft list, but are now registered for the event.
--Teams that pass through this round of waivers will become free agents. This will not be the case once events start.

Sometime tomorrow presumably.

Just so everybody's aware, I'm chewing through waivers right about now--and, while I'm at it, locating missing teams. And there's a pattern with those missing teams... F3 has something like 2/3 of 'em right now.

If you're wondering where I'm at, the draft results tab of the google sheet is steadily showing more red boxes, indicating missing teams. I should be able to make it through Montreal pretty quickly... then it'll take longer. (Unless someone wants to start updating the picks starting from whatever is right after Montreal, otherwise I get to do that at the same time.) I'll post a full list of waivers and missing teams once I hit the end of that draft results list.

I would but I have no idea how that list works honestly

Do you need just the teams posted or also someone to check if they are missing?

Just the posting. I've set up an Excel sheet to flag both missing and waiver teams.

[EricH]

I should probably remind everybody of one of the quirks to waiver priority: If you are missing a team, you get top priority for that event only (as in, if you make a claim at that event, you will get that team--penalty of dropping to the bottom of the priority list, though). If more than one player has MIA teams, tiebreaker is waiver priority.

[Bkeeneykid]

Well, crap. I guess I'll figure out which teams we want to swap out for. Is there a deadline for missing team waivers, as all three of us on F3 have finals this week and therefore quite busy stressed?

You'll have a couple of days at the very least. I like to give everybody a chance to look over the waivers before dumping a final list on me. A deadline will be announced--all waiver claims need to be in by that deadline. (As it happens, I've got a lot going on this week myself.)

Reminder that teams on the initial draft list are free agents and don't need waivers.
