Mine weren't in there immediately afterwards either (I put them in around 7PM EST). I went and looked again about 30 minutes ago, and they are in there now. Just give it a little more time.ETA: It tallies up your score and puts the players it is using for the score in red. Very nice!
should do it for you. there were some bugs early, but mine works now.
Looks like there is a bug still for teams that were entered after the games this afternoon... I will have to look at it tomorrow...
About 120 should do it
How's 103.85 with only Cutler left (-18)?Um, I need to see some lower scores posted please.-QG
It would actually take some real effort to be eliminated week 1. It would require a superb strategy to achieve such a feat.Um, I need to see some lower scores posted please.
Same here, but with Turner, DJackson, Cotchery, Fasano, and CJ3, I'm at 151 with Cutler left. :X
I also have Portis, Marshall, and Smith but did quite a bit crappier than you guys. 127.3 + (Prater - 3) It'll be plenty to get by this week though.Same here, but with Turner, DJackson, Cotchery, Fasano, and CJ3, I'm at 151 with Cutler left.

"ouch"
This is my first year participating in the survivor contest. What is all this talk of "peaking early"? I ask because it seems like it applies to me.Are there any statistics from last year showing how teams fared in the contest when they scored greater than x amount of pts in the first week or two?
Ooops, just re-read the rules and realized there's a flex spot. T. Jones would be that guy bumping Randle el giving me 189.55. SWEET!
I'm in a similar postion. Looks like I put up around 160 and have S. Smith and Marshall in waiting.I wonder how many other teams did this.
I doubt there's any reason to worry about "peaking early". If anything, a high score in week 1 may indicate a well-constructed team and correlate to more success in the contest, not less, but even that's a stretch. I suppose the idea is that people only expect to get a handful of "good" weeks out of guys like DeSean, etc., and don't want to "waste" one the first week. But I don't see how it's relevant.
Last year my squad scored over 210 points week 1, a little over 180 points week 2. They were the highest totals I posted all season in the contest. Shortly thereafter the injury bug bit. Injuries to Rudi Johnson, Andre Johnson, etc. My squad managed to hang around through the bye weeks, but was bounced week 11.
Not bad! I also have Cutler to go as well as Curry, Crosby , and (with a disappointing performance by MJD and without a suspended Steve Smiff)I'm already sitting on 195.60.Ooops, just re-read the rules and realized there's a flex spot.

In the end it takes equal amounts of skill and luck to advance in this - whether you made the cut by 1 point or 100 points, just be happy you made the cut and move on.
Still, it might be cool to see stats that might show a correlation between last years week 1 performances and how teams finished the contest.
Not that this is extremely useful, but just eyeballing the results it looks like out of the top 25 scores in Week 1 last year, only one of them made it into the final 250. The guy who won the contest last year put up a respectable 174 points in week one, which was 1440th place that week. I'm not going any deeper than that but maybe Drinen can run the numbers. If you're interested, here are the Week 1 results and the final results from last year.I was hoping for a response like this!I doubt there's any reason to worry about "peaking early".

Here are all the scores *unofficially*Also, QB scoring is a little off if they were sacked and their total yardage was negative.
Nice! Who ya got?
OC...how many teams are logged into your system? Do you think you have a big enough sample size to attempt to project cuts yet? I'm curious what your 5th percentile number is relative to Doug's number.

I predict a 0 for Marshall tonight.....Brees, Drew NO 34.15Johnson, Chris TEN 20.20Rice, Ray BAL 9.80Johnson, Calvin DET 17.70Crayton, Patrick DAL 14.20Marshall, Brandon DEN --- TONIGHTMartin, David MIA 17.30 Shockey, Jeremy NO 14.40Lindell, Rian BUF 12.00Cincinnati CIN 10.00Looking like I'm a bit over 150 with Marshall to go tonight (Fitzgerald at 12pts waiting to be overcome). Probably pretty safe.....
