Roster App Links (View online or Download)

[Preds]

Yup, I finally got my laptop back (woo hoo!) and dedicated the evening to putting out the final roster app for the 2003 season.

As always, please check your team (and others) for errors.

I'm going to begin working on the 2004 app in the next week or so.

Also, just in case you missed it, the draft tracker has been updated in preperation for the 2004 rookie draft and reflects not only the correct draft order, but also any trades that have ocurred up to this point.

Can you include the current links for the updated information. I want to make sure I am seeing the most current data.

Thanks!!!

The links haven't changed, they are the same as the links on the 1st page of this thread (in the very 1st post).

Sorry, I was not sure based on the last updated dates in that post. Thanks!

[Preds]

:p I've gotten ahead of myself this year (no big international trip pending) and have the 1st installment of the 2004 Roster App ready.

I haven't acounted for any rules changes, like the proposed Signing Bonus/multiple year contract hits just yet, but having the app ready for 2004 will make it easier for me to figure out the easiest way to track these changes if they do indeed pass.

Anyhow, get a heads up on the 2004 campaign and check out the status of your team as well as everybody elses!

Great work, as usual, Mike! And I like the "top paid players" page you threw in there, free of charge! lol Kudos.

Can't wait for next season...

Hey, I've tried downloading the roster app both at home and at work, and when I try to open the file I get an error message, saying the file is read only or the server can't be accessed.... I am right clicking the link to the download version, and it is saving a ~600KB file to my hard drive, but Excel is pretty unhappy with it. Anyone else having this problem?

(And of course, I didn't bother to back up the RosterApp file I had been using, so I overwrote it when I donwloaded the new one. Pretty smart.)

Actually the file is about 837k. Are you sure you downloaded the whole file without timing out?

I just downloaded and opened it without incident. When did you last try downloading it? I had a problem with the upload yesterday morning, but fixed it in the afternoon.

The current file is working for me, wanna try the download again?

Also, you may want to delete your existing file 1st, just to be on the safe side.

Mike, I tried it again this morning and it worked. Don't know what was up. Thanks.

Mike, there is a relatively insignificant error on the roster app. On the Top Paid Players tab, the Top 5 Average calculation is using the average of the top 3 players as one of the figures in the calculation for the averages (ie, it is averaging 6 numbers, not five). Not a big deal, just wanted to point that out since i was looking at Bubba Franks moving out of the top 3 for tight ends.

thx, I'll fix that formula

Another relatively insignificant error is that Laverneus Coles is not shown on the player summary by position/salary scale.

After a month and a half I've finally gotten around to updating the RosterApp (fortunately there were only 10-15 moves to update), and everything is good except 1 thing.
The Dodgers picked up Delhomme, and didn't have room on their roster to accomodate him, nor could I find a cut anywhere.

If I'm missing something, please advise, otherwise, we need to get with Brian and figure out a solution. I really don't want to penalize anyone during the doldrums of the off-season, but then we do have rules.

I'd love input from the league on how to handle this, do we go by the book, or do we ease up since we're so deep into the off-season and ask Brian to make a cut as soon as he gets back?

For now I've left Delhomme off his rster until space is made or the league reaches a decision.

Didn't we have something like this happen before and we decided to give people one chance without penalty (actually it may have been with line-up submissions)? I don't have a preference one way or other but since it could happen to everyone I would say he just makes a cut and we move on.

Speaking of moving on, what is the deadline for finalizing rosters? I know it was August 15 and we talked about moving back until later August. Was a final date settled on yet?

[Flaxwless]

Im alright with letting him cut a guy once he gets back.

We're in the offseason and with some much movement it's hard to keep track of your the rosters. Well actually it's not too hard, but I can understand. Plus we're only in the off-season.

I think you're referring to what happened to me last season... by failing to change my lineup, I got stuck with a penalty that ended up costing me the game, AND was going to be hit with a cap reduction, too. I believe we voted to allow once a year a team to "forget" to update their lineup without penalty (though I still had to eat the point discrepency).

I'm all for giving people grace, but this league has been a pretty tight stickler for rules in the past.

[Mutts]

My only thoughts are that if we continue to allow one grace violation during the offseason, we need to go ahead and make that an official policy so every owner in the league is always assured of the same treatment.

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I think, for this league, at least, consistency is key. If we find a rule that seems unfair... or a situation that seems not to be completely covered by the rules, then we should have the right to change things, as a league. Or if there are "extenuating circumstances" that prohibit an owner from following a specific rule, then the RULES COMMITTEE should be able to make a judgment call (without having to legislate one "grace violation" every offseason). I guess the question is, was this incident an "extenuating circumstance" or just a lapse of team management?

[Nittany Dodgers]

Hey guys, sorry I didn't see this thread when I got back. I just Pm'd Mike on it. I think he missed a cut which would have kept me under the limit. If we find otherwise, I'm fine with taking the peanalties on going over. I know this league can be a stickler for rules and I know I can be a leading force behind that, so I am cool with taking the hit if indeed I did go over.

I think your fine... I missed the GB D cut way deep in the Branch thread, and also mixed up the timeline on Delhomme being acquired before Branch. All is good. I'll get an updateapp out in the next day or so reflecting this correction and the current acquisitions.

Thanks for the quick reply to my PM today Brian.

[Preds]

The roster app has been updated through this evening. The only move that hasn't been entered is the Swords aquisition of the Broncos Defense.

The Swords need to clear roster space to make room for the Broncos D within 24 hours of thir winning bid this afternoon or they will be assessed with roster penalties as per the rules.

If you guys spot any errors let me know.

Thanks

[Preds]

The roster app has been updated through 5:45pm this evening.

Note that the Ragers are over the allowed amount of contract years by 1 year, and must rectify this immediately or roster penalties will be assessed.

I think I got all the trades, and DS activations, and cuts and whatnot, but please CHECK YOUR ROSTERS!

If you guys spot any errors let me know.

Thanks

[Preds]

Also note, the Draft Tracker has been updated to reflect the recent trades involving 2005 picks.

Sorry to say, it looks like the formula needs to be edited again; Bruce Perry appears to be counting against my cap on the IR.

Otherwise, everything looks great. Thanks for the update, as always!

No he's not being counted, the difference you're noticing is the 250cb cap penalty for exceeding the roster declaration time limit (Jake also was assessed this) and 120 cb's from 2004 soft cap hits.
