11,800 or so I think. Everyone made it past the first cut at 12,000.How many people entered the contest last year?
11,792 is the correct answer, which includes staff members11,800 or so I think. Everyone made it past the first cut at 12,000.How many people entered the contest last year?
11,792 is the correct answer, which includes staff membersI almost didn't make the cut in week 1 last year...11,800 or so I think. Everyone made it past the first cut at 12,000.How many people entered the contest last year?11,792 is the correct answer, which includes staff members
Are you kidding? This is the timewaster to end all timewasters.Seems to be much easier this year. Stud QB, RB, WR, TE, and K all secured. Will have to drop a couple of my value plays because of bye issues. Really no point in visiting it much further until some of the camp dust settles.
Thanks for doing it last year, your changes sound good to me!So, I intend on providing an app to allow semi live scoring for teams in the contest again..Last year, we ran into a couple of issues that I intend on improving this year..Here are my thoughts, feel free to add any suggestions.- Incorporate the logic to guesstimate the cutoff score each week- Allow for multiple teams with one sign in - Change the backend coding so the site loads fasted later in the yearWhat else do you guy want to see this year?

I think if you purchase multiple subscriptions etc, you can have multiple teams.. A couple of people asked about it last year and my only solution was for them to create multiple accounts on my site.So, I intend on providing an app to allow semi live scoring for teams in the contest again..

How did that work out last year?I am going to do the same thing I did last year. Pick my team in 5 minutesAnd not check back till week 10
he dern near won the whole thang which is why i am hesitant to change mine this year, i tried 213 times to get the 250/22 nailed last year to bow out week 2 or 3this year first time through 45 seconds i hit 250/22 on the nose with only lack of depth at RB (but if you RB gets njured you're probably beat anywaysi may just run with it due to FSUfans success LOLAnthony Borbely said:How did that work out last year?fsufan said:I am going to do the same thing I did last year.

This year's feels different. I can tweak a dollar here and a dollar there, but for the most part I'm locked in on my selections. Maybe I need to go reread a few hype threads (Chris Johnson anyone) and see if I can shake myself loose.Are you kidding?

I'm set everywhere except for RB. Whatever combo I come up with, I'm just not comfortable with it. I'm going to just wait and see how things come about in training camps.This year's feels different.

IMO that squad doesn't have enough depth and it's too tightly coupled to the Colts. If they have a down week, you're in a lot of trouble.I've got the winner right here. I hope I can squeak by week 4...QB - Peyton Manning - 27QB - Eli Manning - 15RB - Joseph Addai - 50RB - Sammy Morris - 9RB - Leonard Weaver - 5RB - Dominic Rhodes - 4RB - Ahmad Bradshaw - 4RB - T.J. Duckett - 1WR - Randy Moss - 47WR - Reggie Wayne - 42WR - Roy Hall - 3WR - Sinorice Moss - 2WR - Mario Manningham - 2WR - Ben Obomanu - 1WR - Greg Camarillo - 1TE - Dallas Clark - 23TE - David Martin - 1TE - Michael Gaines - 1PK - Adam Vinatieri - 5PK - Jay Feely - 1TD - New England Patriots - 5TD - Miami Dolphins - 1

Your app was much appreciated last year.Maybe it already does this, but I'd like to see my team's scores and the cutoffs continue being tabulated all they way through the end of the season, even if my team gets knocked out.It's masochistic, but I'd like to know how the team would have done if it hadn't had a bad week.Color coding (green if still alive after the cutoff, Red if not) would also be great - and again maybe you already have that.Last year, it continued to tally your scores after you were out of the contest (because it didnt know your contest status). Since the data will not be coming from FBG, I wont have the ability to check if your team is in the contest or not. I could add some identifier that you could tell it what week you got knocked out of the contest, then it would color code from there..So, I intend on providing an app to allow semi live scoring for teams in the contest again..Last year, we ran into a couple of issues that I intend on improving this year..Here are my thoughts, feel free to add any suggestions.- Incorporate the logic to guesstimate the cutoff score each week- Allow for multiple teams with one sign in - Change the backend coding so the site loads fasted later in the yearWhat else do you guy want to see this year?Your app was much appreciated last year.Maybe it already does this, but I'd like to see my team's scores and the cutoffs continue being tabulated all they way through the end of the season, even if my team gets knocked out.It's masochistic, but I'd like to know how the team would have done if it hadn't had a bad week.Color coding (green if still alive after the cutoff, Red if not) would also be great - and again maybe you already have that.

Same boat - I would appreciate this as well, if possible.Can't access FBG from work (only the forums) and innerweb down currently at home. Can someone post the player values (or provide another link - not FBG)? TIA
I don't think so. Once the contest is up, no players are added, deleted nor to values change. What's there is there.benbadman said:Will Brett Favre be added to the QBs?Pennington & Clemens are on there.. $9 and $5.

Figured Chris Perry would be a good value for this contest. He's nowhere to be found.Haha, I also have LenDale and CJohnson tied up in my backfield.I love this contest.On my first pass, I wound up with four Titans. Gonna need to rethink that....
Actually, I have Johnson...and three other Titans that are NOT CloverDale White.Haha, I also have LenDale and CJohnson tied up in my backfield.I love this contest.On my first pass, I wound up with four Titans. Gonna need to rethink that....
That is it? i tried 200,000 times (CPU assisted, of course) to get eh 250/22 with max points....he dern near won the whole thang which is why i am hesitant to change mine this year, i tried 213 times to get the 250/22 nailed last year to bow out week 2 or 3this year first time through 45 seconds i hit 250/22 on the nose with only lack of depth at RB (but if you RB gets njured you're probably beat anywaysi may just run with it due to FSUfans success LOL

You got me to thinking about it. I've made I'm guessing maybe 70-100 edits of my squad. I maintain of separate spreadsheet for tiering the candidates based on net value including cost consideration (empirical / judgemental versus programmatic).I'm stuck now waiting for fresh input from Week3 preseason games, as the roster has stabilized to the point where I have identified value in each position stack in terms of who I'd go for above and below current position points if something in my perspective changes. Point being that the endless tweaking of the roster phase is over (it's been a couple days since my last edit).fixedNot a lot of real jump-right-out-at-you value like there has been in years past. I see one WR value pick that I like a lot, 2 RB value picks, and 1 TE pick.
But I'm not really liking my first pass at a team. Which is OK, since I'll update it 522 times before it's final.![]()
So this means, for example, that in week 2, teams ranking 10,001 and below in points for that week will be cut? How are ties handled? Is it top 10,000 PLUS ties or it will be trimmed to 10,000 or less regardless of ties?Contest will be Survivor style through week 13. By survivor style, we mean that only the high scores for JUST THAT WEEK advance to the next round. Scores reset each week.The weekly cutoffs are as follows:Week 1 trim to 12,000 teams (all advance if we have less entries)Week 2 trim to 10,000 teamsWeek 3 trim to 8,500 teamsWeek 4 trim to 7,250 teamsWeek 5 trim to 6,100 teamsWeek 6 trim to 5,000 teamsWeek 7 trim to 4,000 teamsWeek 8 trim to 3,100 teamsWeek 9 trim to 2,300 teamsWeek 10 trim to 1,600 teamsWeek 11 trim to 1,000 teamsWeek 12 trim to 500 teamsWeek 13 trim to 250 teams
PLUS TiesCan I get a rules clarification?
