Per my other e-mail, I'm assuming none of this applies to me.

I would encourage anyone who is activating a player acquired this week to send a note to USMLTrans explaining what the alternative is if that player isn't awarded to them.? Its not fair to let teams retroactively readjust their rosters and we need to make this as easy for Mark B as possible.

I accept your apology and just want to point out that I didn't think I was doing anything wrong.? Maybe I didn't read all the pre-bid emails closely enough; I had a lot going on this week.? From my perspective, we always have had contingent bids and contingent bidding is in the constitution.? I thought of my bids as Bay at 74 was my primary and then my Tex and Nady bids were contingent if the Bay bid didn't work out.? The system didn't have info on how to do that so I took a guess and when the system didn't reject it, I thought that I must have done it correctly.? 

?

Note, that we're approaching the roster deadline and I have input Tex in my lineup.? If this is all going to be disallowed or I'm getting Bay20as I would under our old system, we're going to have to allow retroactive adjustments to our lineups this week.? I'm not going to be able to hang around my computer for the next hour to find out.? Finally, I definitely object if the result is going to be that all my bids are thrown out.

My apologies to Jim.? I thought my last email was only going to Rich and I hope you can understand why this process has left me a bit frustrated.

It was not my intention to call Jim out and the intemperate suggestion that Jim was being cavalier was unfair.

I hate this automatic response to everyone thing that we have set up.? It always seems to get me in trouble.

I'm done with this issue - I'll rely upon the determination of the league.? I think we should probably wait for Mark's return to let him sort this out, as unfair as that is to him.? The result, while not necessarily outcome determinative, could have an important impact on the race.

That is all.

Can we replicate bids next week and see what the system does and adjust   effective dates?    Can we use our constitution which I suspect has enough detail to sort it out?  I   know we rejected the rules and agreed to go with the
 web site.  I just throw it   out as a possibility.  -----Original Message-----  From: jhwinick at aol.com    Date: Sun, 03 Aug 2008 09:53:14   To: <announce at usml.net>  Subject: Re: [USML Announce] FAAB Fun
