Leagues filling
Leagues filling
i wish the numbers were accurate as to how many openings there really are. multiple times i have joined where it says one opening so you go thru the draft process, it says the league is full then after the time limit expires it is back to being 1 opening. it is a little frustrating when the league then takes days to fill. i currently have 7 teams waiting to start, 2 finally filled today. i dropped 2 because they were taking forever to fill, that is when i tried to fill a league and get going. i know this has been an issue for awhile. i just wish the numbers were accurate
Re: Leagues filling
If it shows only one opening in a league, click 'Browse the League' and then click 'Schedule': any team that doesn't have a starter listed for the opening day matchup most likely hasn't completely drafted their roster, in which case their team gets bounced shortly after the league 'fills'. That's probably the situation you keep running into.
You can also click on each team's roster, one at a time, to make sure they have 23 players. It's a lot more arduous but sometimes worthwhile homework as you can see how different owners have put together their teams.

Re: Re: Leagues filling
It’s a fair point. I can think about ways of making this easier to see on the Join League page.
Re: Leagues filling
@gbacci , thanks. another thing that would be helpful is when searching for new leagues, it would be nice to come back to the same list, for instance i prefer all time greats and quick draft, whenever i set those parameters i check a team, then when i go back to the list it shows all leagues and you need to re set your preferences. it is not hard, just tedious after already selecting what i am interested in.
Re: Re: Leagues filling
@rlapierre it was a little too difficult from a page load perspective to figure out every team’s roster size on the Join League page, but I added a “Teams Fully Drafted” to the white League Status box on the homepage of Auto Leagues.

Re: Leagues filling
Let me know if it's ever not working properly, I failed to find a league where any of the filled teams had not drafted. I think those cases are pretty rare (or happen right after a league rolls over), so it should work properly.
Re: Leagues filling
I still feel like a solution here would be anytime you evict team that did not complete the draft you should also evict all of the bot teams at the same time. This would reset the league to 5 or more open slots which is much more likely to attract new signups and once the league gets to 4 open slots you can fill the rest with bot teams and start the season.
Re: Re: Leagues filling
If I could 10X like their idea of booting bots I would, the bots are added WAY TOO QUICKLY
Re: Leagues filling
One user recently did catch a glitch where bots were being added right after a league re-opened if the league was relatively full... that was not supposed to be happening, so that has been fixed, and it should now allow more time for humans to be added before bots do... this should help the issue a bit. The other thing, seeing how many teams have NOT drafted should actually encourage more people to join fuller leagues, because it will show that decent players are still left - 11 of 12 full with five teams that have not drafted is actually not that full of a league.
