I don't think it was a bug, but I think there was something going on behind the scenes that allowed me to jump.

Needless to say, when it happened multiple times, my OD-mates got a little suspicious. And a little "I got screwed!" feelings brewed. But I don't think any of us would have felt screwed if the player(s) in question had soft verballed to me, and all three teams still had a shot in Week 3. It was the "how the hell did he jump me AND get the commit?" question that caused issues.
Exactly. I know we've talked about this in the Powerhouse thread a lot. But last year and this year it almost always seemed like the #3 team jumped and got the hard commit. You almost wanted to be in the #3 slot. I know Oneback brought up the fact that there were triggers for a player to commit and since we were both at the appropriate point level to get a commit, because he had a visit scheduled that week he hit the trigger.
