I set the buy backs where if they do not make a pick by the deadline they are deemed eliminated. As i see it now there are players who lost last week and did not make a pick but the site gave them the auto pick, i thought they were eliminated if they didnt pick on time?  thanks!

Mike, you are 100% correct. The autopick is a new feature this year and this is one of the gotchas we didn't catch. We'll be sure to have it corrected by Monday night latest.

Mike, the bug has been fixed and your Standings corrected. If you see any anomolies let me know. Yours was one of 5 leagues affected by the bug.

Thanks for being on top of this and letting me know. I and the other programmer for the site were at the Broncos-Chiefs game or else we would have responded sooner. :)
