[USML Announce] USML - FAAB bidding issue

[Jeffrey Winick]

Putting aside the obvious question of why FAAB didn’t start yesterday, when does FAAB start?

My recommendation with respect to the second question is that we simply treat this season as though it wasn’t played if the season isn’t completed.  People would go into next year with their current rosters and would make their cut downs from there.  I would think that contracts wouldn’t have run this year if there was no season, but I defer to the wisdom of the league on that issue.

Subject: [USML Announce] USML - FAAB bidding issue

League:  A giant mess on two fronts.

1.  Some but not all teams submitted FAAB bids yesterday, apparently because some forgot that there was no FAAB bidding this past week (see my email with the schedule of dates). I am going to work with Onroto to reverse all of those transactions, but let me know what corrective actions the affected teams want to take that involved the same players that were waived or reserved.

2.  On the real world front, the cancellation of several games today is a concern.  I wonder if this season is really going to get played? We may want to start considering contingency plans.
