All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

REMINDER: There is a 25% performance penalty if a player plays out of his natural position. The penalty is more if the player makes an extreme switch. A Guard not eligibile to play Center will incur a 25% rating penalty if he plays there while a LB playing CB will suffer more than a 25% penalty. Penalties do occur if you try to play an ILB at an OLB position and vice versa, same for DE at a DT slot. Of course if a player is rated at multiple positions (C-G, LB, DL, DB), then there is no penalty.

But not a FS playing SS or vice versa???? interesting because then we could have drafted 2 SS's that are not as hard to come by asa good FS. interesting.
Eb.... do you want us to fill out all this info in our own threads or right here or somewhere else?
if you want it to be public knowledge you can do it in the thread I will start for each week (i.e., for 6/20 you can do it in this thread). If you want to keep it secret PM or e-mail it to me.

BTW, in formations where there are only 7 players listed or whatever, it is assumed that you will be playing your best players at the other spots...if you want to fill out the full 11 please do.

I will post all roster notes in the official GB's thread.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
