I used to be able to use this link to see how draft conflicts were resolved:

http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/draft/draft_results.html

It is not working for me now, does it work for anyone else?

It doesn't work anymore. Bernie disabled it a month or so ago. It was in one of the posts.

Basically, some people claimed it was unfair--a position that I don't share. I think full and complete disclosure of _exactly_ what happens in the draft would make it less confusing to new members and allow for additional study by vets to optimize their autodraft selections.

Bring it back Bernie!

I support bringing it back, and putting a link to it on the homepage for everyone to access.

Another thing I used to be able to do and can't get to work is clicking on a managers name in the standings and then getting to see how many teams he has played in each season, w/l, playoffs, and championships. Did that get taken away also? Or I do I need to do something different to access that?

It still works. I find that I first have to login to the forums before I can get that functionality to work.

Thanks, just had to log in again on the pop up after clicking on the manager's name.

Totally stupid and irrational. How could something be unfair that is a) after the fact, and b) available to everybody? This is one of my favorite features. It's always amusing to see that eight teams all wanted the same 50-cent hard-left reliever (drafted 24th or 25th, no doubt). More seriously, it gives you clues for what people wanted and didn't want. If somebody got an also-ran instead of the draft pick, that player is a possible trade. If you're thinking of putting a CF as your first waiver claim but ten of the other 11 teams got the CF they wanted, you can move the waiver claim lower. Etc. etc.

I vote that this feature should be re-enabled. Not only is it a useful learning tool, it's just plain fun!

I agree that I would love to see this feature re-enabled. It was very useful to see which players were given as replacements to know they might be on the trade block and see the interest in various players...I think it should be linked so it isn't just a hidden link that some of us know about but it should be re-enabled!
