I understand the frustration, and think Marge's post said it perfectly.
I set the league up without a clock because of the holiday week, and because tomorrow is still a holiday I won't set the clock tomorrow (eg, we know that Steve won't be back until Tuesday). But Tuesday am I will set up a three hour clock.
Please note that Penn's site does not execute a proxy after a missed pick. It will execute proxies only after a manual pick or a proxy pick. So please set proxies when you can, and check in periodically even if you have set proxies.
Happy New Year everyone!
