Damn you BB don't go changing the rules of scouting from season to season as you please!

I read the news but I didn't notice the bit about the deadline being put forward a day. Last season the deadline was after the financial update and I was certain it was going to be the same this season.

I've used all the points I had and set my draft order already, but I'm peeved at not being able to interview a couple of prospects I was going to interview as soon as the upcoming financial update occured.

good grief
peeved? really?
They sent a notice and you didn't read it, or didn't read it all.
Then you complain that it's their fault
seriously!

I'll admit that I made a mistake in not noticing that the draft deadline had been changed, but I still think it's stupid of them to have put it forward a day when some people, myself included, may have been planning to get some last minute scouting done after the financial update.

While past seasons may have been slower in closing down scouting, there's not a whole lot of ambiguity in: Draft order must be submitted before 8/19/2012.

Sorry I know that must be VERY annoying, even brutal but it was more the season that they messed up the last couple of seasons, they admitted it was a mistake and have fixed it up so it is working properly this season. It was said very clearly finalise your scouting before Sunday but I'll be a lot of people did get caught.

Yet another win for people like me that spent $0!

You made 2 mistakes. You missed the news update which told people when the deadline was (and it was the exact same last season too btw) but worst of all, you waited until the very last minute to do your scouting. Why would you do that?

It's also always said the date on the "manage my team" page and I think it also said the date on the scouting page as well. It's just this season the enforcement of 'before" is actually working.
