because it makes it harder to plan, but there are no settings that we can tweak to affect this. If owners want me to get a specific explanation for Rick’s question about Bleday, I can do that.</span></p>

one transaction last night was to claim Bleday. Three other teams also put in a claim, but none of them were the 10th place team. As the unproud owner of the 9th place team, I’m confused as to how he went to the 5th place team instead of the 9th place team.
Thanks in advance for clearing things up.</span></p>
