Lowest two scoring teams after Week 3 and Week 4 scores are added will be eliminated after Week 4.

Note that there are a few issues with the scoring. Apparently, if you don't own enough players at a given position to field a lineup, the MFL system is adding a flex from another position. I'll be double checking the scores on Tuesday morning and making any necessary adjustments before confirming the eliminations in this thread.

League 1 -- Tackle Heavy
Eliminations: Tecmo, amit-nfl, John Norton

League 2 -- Balanced
Eliminations: obxlegends, Dave Baker, wolverine

League 3 -- Balanced
Eliminations: eric rymer, kurtrudder, Donnybrook

League 4 -- Big Play
Eliminations: Duckboy, JEB, tex

The full elimination schedule looks like this:

**Leg 1 leagues will run from Week 1 through Week 8 of the NFL regular season. Teams will be voted off by “Survivor” rules, i.e. the lowest scoring team(s) in the vote-off weeks will be out of the competition. There will be no immunity.

**Nine teams will be eliminated from each Leg 1 league as follows:

Week 1 – Lowest Week 1 scoring team eliminated

Week 2 – Lowest two (of remaining 11) Week 2 scoring teams eliminated

Week 3 – No eliminations

Week 4 – Lowest two (of remaining 9) Week 3 and 4 cumulative scoring teams eliminated

Week 5 – No eliminations

Week 6 – Lowest two (of remaining 7) Week 5 and 6 cumulative scoring teams eliminated

Week 7 – No eliminations

Week 8 – Lowest two (of remaining 5) Week 7 and 8 cumulative scoring teams eliminated

**Three surviving teams after Week 8 will move on to Leg 2.

Jene, you probably were watching Cin-Bal, right? I know I saw Ray Lewis rip the ball out of Chris Perry's hand and cause a fumble, but he isn't being credited with a forced fumble. I didn't imagine that, did I? No big deal.

You're not imagining it. I would've credited Lewis with a FF there. The Gamebook is not, however. That may be corrected by tonight, or it may not be. Unfortunately, I don't think it's entirely fair to correct some scores without being assured that no other scoring discrepancies have been missed.

Boo!

At least I am safe for week 1 here. Whew.

I'm not going to be as fortunate in the other half of the contest. Best ball, and I'll be lucky to win 2 or 3...and in a 5 week season, that pretty much spells doom.

The 2 staffers have the highest score. Shocker!

I'm looking to avoid elimination despite the fact that I'm without a DT.

League 3


Chaos Commish (303.15 pts)

You guys need to keep up. Competition is good. I haven't rolled out my top IDP picks yet this week. Also, why isn't the week 2 elimination cumulative?

JGilesBand (255.75 pts)
SkyRattlers (256.05 pts)
buck56 (250.00 pts)
Bob Magaw (238.35 pts)
niradillo (236.95 pts)
kurtrudder (224.75 pts)
tazinib1 (212.25 pts)
Donnybrook (206.55 pts)
Aaron Rudnicki (203.10 pts)

eric rymer (174.70 pts)
44 orange (171.40 pts)

Not gonna be a problem. Knew when my top 2 big-play IDPs either are out for the year (Osi) or should be (Merriman), it was gonna be a rough week. Pretty much got no help from the rest of the team to stay around. Unless Sidney Rice goes off completely tonight, see y'all next year

No immunity? Oof.

Try playing without a QB......

Brady / VY.

Took Brady in the first round here. Hopefully taking Favre helps your boy move on to Week 2. I'll need some help tonight. Pray for me!

Well I need some decent nights for the likes of ADP, McFadden, Fargas, Berrian, and Nick Barnett to avoid going out week 1.

I should be able to make up 15 points going against Sidney Rice and Kirk Morrison.

Thank god for you Duckboy. With Driver and my 2 best LB's going tonight, I should be okay but feel pretty lucky. Of course only 1 Big Play from my D did not help. 12.5 for Pasquino just to show why 74 points ahead. You wont need a QB if you keep doing this.

Week 1 results are now official.

Two rosters (Dave Baker and Benny Beaver) required scoring adjustments as MFL inserted flex players when required roster spots were not filled. Please bring any additional issues to my attention before Friday.

Lg 1 -- Tackle Heavy -- Tecmo eliminated
Lg 2 -- Balanced -- obxlegends eliminated
Lg 3 -- Balanced -- eric rymer eliminated
Lg 4 -- Big Play Heavy -- Duckboy eliminated

The two lowest scoring teams in Week 2 will be eliminated in each league.

Good luck everybody.

no excuses here. I did not like how I drafted from day 1 and it sure showed. Good luck everyone. I had fun even though it was short lived.

I echo that. It was a blast. I wish my team would of stayed active longer than the actual draft did.

Save me a seat, have a feeling I won't make it past week two. I screwed up drafing players who were listed out of position, overlooking the fact it would be adjusted.

Week 2 results are in.

Two rosters (Dave Baker and Benny Beaver) required scoring adjustments as MFL inserted flex players when required roster spots were not filled. Please bring any additional issues to my attention before Friday.

First two staffers bite the dust this week. Very close scores all around.

Lg 1 -- Tackle Heavy -- amit-nfl and John Norton eliminated
Lg 2 -- Balanced -- Dave Baker and wolverine eliminated
Lg 3 -- Balanced -- kurtrudder and Donnybrook eliminated
Lg 4 -- Big Play Heavy -- JEB and tex eliminated

There will be no eliminations in Week 3. Your Week 3 and Week 4 scores will be added together. The lowest two cumulative scoring teams will be eliminated after Week 4.

Good luck everybody.

Great time for LT to suck it up...maybe next year good luck, guys

Well it was fun while it lasted. Tough to be eliminated by the need of 2+ points, but good luck the rest of the way.

It's exactly what I deserved for not looking closer at the rules. Shame on me, especially as a staff member. The irony here is that I thought I was kicking all your rears during the draft. Best of luck to all remaining!

GB Justin Tuck.

I really hope that I have 2 healthy S for the next two weeks-Hart, Sanders and Roy Williams all came up lame during the game.

You know it's a bad week when Randy Moss is buried so far down the chart for his performance and outdone by the likes of Reggie Williams, James Hardy, Lamont Jordan AND Felix Jones.

I'm just glad the next round is cumulative.....

I wish I could carry over some of my 338 pts from this week.

next time I will be sure to have a QB

You had a fine draft Dave. A shame about the rule gaffe.

And taking both the Cincy WRs just was blind bad luck.


I feel extremely lucky to make it out of this week: considering the loss of the Balt/Hou players.

Unless Hines Ward AND James Harrison AND Jeff Reed go for 50 points each, my contest is over.

Way too many on bye this week and way too many injuries.


Thanks for the opportunity! I'll be back next year.

As I said last week... Im out.
No biggie.

looks like I'm probably done too.

I never noticed this thread somehow.

I don't think you're done yet Aaron. You had the 2nd highest point total in week 3 and that should probably shield you just enough to squeeze you through this week. It's tough to verify the math but that's my gut tells me when I look over the results so far.

I'm just happy to have survived having no QB this week.

Same here (Kitna on bye, Palmer out). Having Coles, Jennings and LJ helped.

Unofficial eliminations after for the Week 3/4 vote off:

League 1A
Eraser
massraider

League 1B
bmj87
BigSteelThrill

League 1C
Aaron Rudnicki
niradillo

League 1D
Bro1ncos
coreyrajahs

The next two eliminations in each league will be after Week 6, with the Week 5 and Week 6 scores added together for a cumulative two week point total. Four more eliminations to go in each league.

Thanks for letting me into the league. It was a lot of fun.

i squeeked through...

week four was planned on being bad (randy moss, calvin johnson & kitna out), than i was without a QB with VY AND tarvaris jackson losing their job within a few weeks... just hope kitna can keep his job for a few more weeks...

I'm still amazed at how poorly I did at understanding the rules of this league.

First I didn't know we were redrafting, then I lost track of the starting requirements, and I never realized we had two-week elimination periods until I found this thread. It's embarrassing - I've always been a guy who knows the rules well and how to tailor my team to fit them.

On the other hand, maybe I'm better off just drafting decent players and not overthinking bye week management. We'll see, I suppose.

HOpefully my big day today keeps me in the hunt.

The below assumes my data entry and math is correct. Two eliminations for each league after tomorrow night's game. Then a five team race for three entries to the all-IDP second and final leg. Two of the final five staffers (not including Larry Thomas aka Rozelle) are likely to be eliminated tomorrow night, with a third having a bit of a sweat. Bramel and Bloom are assured of lasting into the next elimination period.

League 1A
1 SunTzu 608.40
2 Polyethylene Bag 524.10
3 tec79 501.05
4 Rozelle 495.70
5 Borbely 475.85
6 pretender 469.10
7 steelcityman 438.40

steelcityman has Toomer and Wimbley and a very outside shot at leapfrogging pretender and Borbely, but is likely eliminated. A big game from Steve Smith and a horrible effort from Jamal Lewis could get pretender ahead of Borbely, in what should be the closest thing to a real race of the night.

League 1B
1 Bramel 558.30
2 FullbackFro 497.70
3 DanFouts 443.20
4 Tick 419.05
5 Chainz 417.40
6 talongrey 412.55
7 Chachi 382.70

Looks like a glut of folks fighting from the 3rd through 7th slots, but it's really not that close. Chachi has Corey Williams and Gerris Wilkinson, trails the next closest competitor by 30 and is likely eliminated. talongrey, barring a Willis Reed-like appearance by Sean Jones, is eliminated. Tick and Chainz both have big ticket players likely to add to their W6 number.

League 1C
1 SkyRattlers 521.70
2 tazinib1 516.40
3 buck56 482.35
4 44orange 476.90
5 Chaos Commish 459.00
6 JGilesBand 433.95
7 Magaw 372.75

Magaw will be eliminated. JGilesBand needs big games from Brandon McDonald and D'Qwell Jackson to have any chance of catching Chaos Commish.

League1D
1 Crippler 597.15
2 TheManWithNoName 544.20
3 BennyBeaver 512.00
4 Bloom 501.90
5 FightingWombat 427.70
6 Pasquino 414.90
7 CobaltCruisin 409.05

Without a sizable collapse (and a very nice game from Derek Anderson), FightingWombat probably hold the 5 slot here, with Pasquino and CobaltCruisin eliminated.

League 1A
1 SunTzu 614.90
2 Polyethylene Bag 524.10
3 tec79 503.05
4 Rozelle 495.70
5 Borbely 487.85
6 pretender 487.50
7 steelcityman 438.40

We'll wait for the final numbers in the morning, but it looks like pretender gets eliminated by the thinnest of margins, along with steelcityman.

League 1B
1 Bramel 573.35
2 FullbackFro 502.20
3 DanFouts 446.60
4 Tick 435.05
5 Chainz 428.10
6 talongrey 412.55
7 Chachi 382.70

Chachi and talongrey eliminated.

League 1C
1 tazinib1 527.40
2 SkyRattlers 524.70
3 44orange 505.30
4 buck56 489.55
5 Chaos Commish 462.40
6 JGilesBand 449.45
7 Magaw 387.50

Magaw and JGilesBand eliminated.

League1D
1 Crippler 597.15
2 TheManWithNoName 559.45
3 BennyBeaver 550.80
4 Bloom 501.90
5 FightingWombat 447.65
6 CobaltCruisin 431.50
7 Pasquino 428.40

Pasquino finally falls prey to the curse of Tom Brady. Cobalt Cruisin' goes with him.

Weeks 7 and 8 will be combined for the final elimination of two teams.

Don't we go by the adjusted stat scores on MFL that come out by Thursday?

It was a blast while it lasted. Thanks for the invitation.

I had alot of fun, good luck to everyone still breathing.

congrats to those advancing...

Bad luck dude. You and I seemed to be following almost the same drafting strategy and it looks liked it was working out pretty well considering we were #1 and #2 in total scoring.

Looks like I"m on my way out. Thanks Romo. Ugh. Wait...GO JaMarcus!!!

It was fun while it lasted...

Hope we can do this next year!


With Colston out, Ocho Cinco sucking eggs, and Westbrook playing MASH....

I didn't figure to make it past this week..

though only would've took 20 or so pts over 2 weeks to keep me alive....


My best pick was Favre in the 22nd round..

good luck to the rest!!

Thanks man, seriously. Really cool of you to say so. There is a little salt in the wound to be #2 in scoring and get bounced... but when Schaub got sick and sat out week before last, I was without a QB and knew I was in trouble.

Funny you should bring up the drafting strategy. Gregg Rosenthal told me you were good during the draft, and it seemed like you were the one most often taking guys just ahead of me that I was planning to pick next.

Good luck!

I'm just enjoying it for now since McNabb is on a bye in Week 7 and my only other option at QB is . . . JaMarcus Russell?!? For god's sake, you may as well eliminate me now, Jene.
