Hi,

Could someone tell me how this works? What this is all about? How different from the NFL picks we made?

I have signed up but the rules are confusing for me to understand. What am I supposed to do now that I missed the deadlne for the draft?  :cry:  :pinch:  :ermm:  :$

basically the players shown on your team page are your team. Your success will depend on how they perform on the field. You'll notice you have bench players, so you can decide which ones are active and which are benched, in case of injury or slump. You'll be able to make trades and release players as you choose. Depending on which type of league this is you will:

A) be matched up against another team each week, point values will be assigned to each kind of statistic, and whichever of the two teams has the most points at the end of the week will earn a victory that week and the other team will get the loss, and this will go on and lead to a playoff at the end.

or

B) stats will be grouped, and lets say the team with the most HRs will get 10 points, 2nd most will get 9, and so on down the line for all the stats, then team with the most points wins

I think this will be under type A, but im not sure.

oh, and missing the draft is no biggie. The players were preranked by yahoo, and if you did not change the rankings, each round you were assigned the highest ranked remaining player from a position you need. You can always make adjustments.

Thanks a lot for that info but can I change the players? Or am I allowed to pick only from the reserves?

how were the players assigned to a person? was it random or did i miss something so that i didnt pick the right one?

if you want a player thats already on another team, youll have to work out a trade with them. if you want to just drop a player for someone else, youll be able to pick from the players who werent drafted.

The players were ranked by yahoo ahead of time, best player at #1. When your turn in the draft came up, if you werent present, the highest ranked player of a position that you still need a player in was assigned to your team.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
