Because that happens every year. Of course the cutline every round is inflated by teams with a more "balanced" roster. Many, even most, of the entries that stack two Super Bowl teams will end up getting eliminated before the Super Bowl. But not all of them will get eliminated, and that's all that matters. As someone pointed out earlier, only 12 spots win prizes and really only the top 2 or 3 are worth even thinking about. This is not the type of contest to attack conservatively.If the cut line remains high because entries were aiming for players in the conference final teams vs just the Superbowl team(s), how did they not understand the rules? If the cutline remains high and knocks out those that stacked a team for the Superbowl, do their chances of winning not increase?

at last my NE Packers stack didn't make enough points, (damn you jordy) but this is the correct strat for winning, try to have 2 teams with several players then 2 other team that u think will go to the conference to get u past that last cutoff (I had pit/Atl with GB dark horsing to the championship game) more players in the big dance the better.Because that happens every year. Of course the cutline every round is inflated by teams with a more "balanced" roster.

Yes, Go to the "my apps" and open it from there .Is the entry page blank for everyone else or is it something with my pc that's messed up?
Looking golden to me.I barely made it through and will have 6 players this week. Now I just have to root for 2 teams I hate NE and ATL. lol

Sigh. Correctly called the Super Bowl teams, but missed the crazy high week one cutoff by 6 points, but would have coasted the last two weeks, and would be sitting pretty with 11 players in Super Bowl.Yup, looks like I didn't make it. Oh well, that's significantly higher first week cut off than past years.
Right there with you. NE/ATL. Missed the first cut by scoring 90.55 against the 91.90 cut, hence my tirade against morons who didn't know the rules. Scored 161.65 Divisional week and 234.85 Conference Championship week. Would have the following in two weeks:Sigh. I thought I did everything right. I picked a NE / ATL Super Bowl with the QBs and high scorers from both teams. I think I picked a dozen players that are in the SB. But I used the baseline from other years and misjudged the first week's cut and didn't make it out of WC Weekend.
Another year (2011), I would have won the whole enchilada, but I literally missed the cut in championship weekend when Eli took a kneel down for - 2 yards on the last play of the game against SF (and missed the cut by 0.1 points).
I'll get you some day, Snidely Whiplash!

I should check mine.Thank goodness I got knocked out early. I would have finished in second, which probably would have aggravated me even more.
You would have finished third. I would have won with 183.7. Sigh.ConstruxBoy said:I should check mine.

My guess is tomorrow morning? It shows it here:Is this happening this year? I did a search but didn't see anything.
They will do one. I guarantee it, Joe Namath.Is this happening this year? I did a search but didn't see anything.
YessirI'm planning on running Calcomatic for the playoff contest if there is enough interest - what do you guys think?
That would be awesome! Just donated either way, it worked really well this year. Thanks again.I'm planning on running Calcomatic for the playoff contest if there is enough interest - what do you guys think?
This would be awesome! Thanks for taking over on short notice this year @Steeler, you did an amazing job. I know firsthand how much work can go into this so I encourage everyone who got some enjoyment out of the site to send a few bucks his way.I'm planning on running Calcomatic for the playoff contest if there is enough interest - what do you guys think?
Keep an eye out today...we (staff) are beta-testing it now for bugs, etc.Is this happening this year? I did a search but didn't see anything.
I spotted one thing: the rules page says the first cut is to 3,000 teams, but the contest entry page says the first cut is to 4,000.Keep an eye out today...we (staff) are beta-testing it now for bugs, etc.
Dodds did well on pricing--be forewarned.
Thanks Jolszews...I've notified the authorities. It should be corrected ASAP.I spotted one thing: the rules page says the first cut is to 3,000 teams, but the contest entry page says the first cut is to 4,000.
Looking forward to another year of this contest.

I went with the "least preferred" teams winning each round.I approached roster construction with a key question in mind:
What would be the absolutely funniest thing that could happen?
Matty Ice beats the Rams, the Eagles and the Saints only to lose....again....to the Goat.
Yes, you fixed it: the page where I saw the 3,000 is now 4,000.I think this is fixed now. An early draft had it at 3000, but we decided to switch it back to the 4000 that it's always been. Can you do a quick check and confirm that it says 4000 everywhere now? Thanks!
