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

you can bid again. This is no holds barred duke it out.
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.
If you buy someone and can't sell her on the open market this bailout system seems like to soft of a landing.
I'm not disagreeing, per se... But, I'm thinking someone would have to come up with a fair idea to "penalize" someone for selling a card back...
Maybe, the person selling has to keep 1/3 of the cap hit? Maybe a flat cap hit for any card dropped? Maybe, if the card sells for less, the original buyer take the difference as a hit? Maybe, the person who sells a card can't bid for X amount of days?
I dunno, but throwing ideas out is gonna be infinitely better than just saying "There needs to be soem sort of punishment." keep in mind, Bedard has to track all of this too, so you don't wanna make it too difficult to track, even if you do add on some sort of penalty.
I do think Sabre should be taking the cards out of his sig, though... :)
On a related note, I don't necessarily like the rule that you can buy a card for a gazillion ZB, like Historian did and only take the cap hit... The reason? Well, to be honest, a lot of players (including myself) don't even have that many ZB to try to do a buyout of a card, so it's sort of an advantage to be able to throw ZB around when you want and get whoever you want at a lower cap figure than you would have bidded...
But, Historian's bid for Tina Fey put him pretty close to the cap, so he'll likley have to unload someone to FA relatively soon as well... All's you have to do is bid over like 35k and there's no way 3 players can beat you... And, we're only a month into the game... :)
