Dude, that sucks.Yeah, you're right. Not sure why the discrepancy with the live scorer. Either way, with the live scorer I'm in and with the official FBG, I'm out at #251.
I'm THAT guy in the final week.

Robby Anderson.Tennessee_ATO said:Hunt, despite being a non-factor since early-season, is on 225 rosters. So he has to be the guy most likely to be on the winning roster just by simple probability.
What player(s), excluding Hunt, is (are) most likely to be on the winning roster and why?
Kamara due to being on 74 teams and on fire.Tennessee_ATO said:Hunt, despite being a non-factor since early-season, is on 225 rosters. So he has to be the guy most likely to be on the winning roster just by simple probability.

I don't like this answer but yeah.Kamara due to being on 74 teams and on fire.
I would have made it 31 :(I don't like this answer but yeah.
The 30 teams with Anderson and Kamara are in a really good position.
Hi. You can count me out of this group as I have crap QBs and David Johnson.I don't like this answer but yeah.

@David Dodds
Ok, I found out why there's a discrepancy and I may have a shot.
Live scoring has Seahawks defense with 5 pts.
FBG scoring has them with 7 pts.
In the game there was 1 INT and 3 sacks which is 5 pts. There was the fumble out of the endzone but that is not a recovery so the scoring should be 5 pts. I've looked at official stats as well as scoring in other leagues and they do not have a fumble recovery credited.
Let's get this clarified!
:(I would have made it 31 :(
It's good to hear others have weaknesses still.I hope Rivers keeps targeting the hell out of Allen. And that Wallace keeps being involved in Baltimore. I hope to get Rishard and Benjamin back this week. WR "should" be ok for me.
But I'm a guy who really needs Hunt to start contributing. I have Kamara. After that it's: a poo-poo platter of Hunt, Powell, Abdullah, Smallwood, and McFadden (ret).
Yep.
These two have 7 from Seattle, and it matters.

Congrats dude!Still waiting to hear back on emails sent....
Hoping for good news.
Everywhere I've looked shows no fumble recovery. No league I'm in has them scored with a recovery including MFL and FFPC. And the official NFL Bible for stats says it's not considered a recovery if it goes out of bounds or out of endzone for a touchback. With the contest rule stating fumble recovery, I can't see how it's not changed, but who knows....
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this fumble through the end-zone discrepancy came up earlier in the year and the play was counted as 2 points for the defense. I'll have to update the SEA score on Calcomatic. Sorry man :(Still waiting to hear back on emails sent....

I saw, in week 6. But was it actually brought up with FBG? It should not be counted as 2 points and perhaps they will update their scoring system.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this fumble through the end-zone discrepancy came up earlier in the year and the play was counted as 2 points for the defense.

It was discussed then and I had to change the score to reflect the results of the play by adding 2 pts to the defensive team.I saw, in week 6. But was it actually brought up with FBG? It should not be counted as 2 points and perhaps they will update their scoring system.

Hi @gianmarco Did you send an email to Doug? He has responded to every email.Still waiting to hear back on emails sent....

I did, yesterday at noon. Also sent one to Dodds shortly afterward. That's why I was surprised I hadn't heard back from either.Hi @gianmarco Did you send an email to Doug? He has responded to every email.
He didn't receive them apparently as Doug said just now he's responded to every email he's seen on this. I'll ask him to look again.I did, yesterday at noon. Also sent one to Dodds shortly afterward. That's why I was surprised I hadn't heard back from either.
That's what I advocated for as well in my email. Considering the scoring change affects 2 people either way, bump the # to 252 for the final 3 weeks and then clarify for next year either way. I think it's the most equitable way as I don't want to bump anyone but also feel like I should be in.I'll cast my vote for letting everyone who would have qualified under either scenario in. Then clarify the rule whichever way. Adding a couple more will only reduce my odds from 0.4% to 0.3968%. I'm cool w/ that.
Seems fair to me. 2 more teams to finish ahead of me.gianmarco said:That's what I advocated for as well in my email.

Had the earlier error been pointed out at the time, we would have corrected it. This one was, so we did.All stat changes made by the league prior to 11:59pm ET Tuesday will be incorporated into the contest scoring and standings reflecting these changes will be posted on Wednesday morning. Users have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday to report possible scoring errors to drinen@footballguys.com. The standings posted on Thursday morning are considered official, even if an error (by the league, by Footballguys, or by anyone or anything else) is later discovered.
Seems to me like you made the right call Doug.After much discussion, the official ruling is that Seattle's defense should get 5 points, not 7. The standings have been re-run and re-posted to reflect the correction, which changes the status of four teams.
The one and only criterion used to make this decision was: what ruling follows the rules, as written, most closely. The rules literally say "Fumble recovery," and Seattle did not have one. About the fact that this happened earlier in the season and was counted differently, this too is covered in the rules.

I can completely understand how frustrating this must be for two people in particular, just as I can understand how frustrating it would have been (and was!) for two other people. Again, our sole goal was to follow our own rules as written.
Thanks for your patience with this, and our apologies for any stress caused.
Fbg can't risk this. If either of those two finish first then fbg is on the hook for paying up every other person who gets bumped down in the final standingsTennessee_ATO said:I'll cast my vote for letting everyone who would have qualified under either scenario in.

Glad it worked out.
Correct @BassNBrew . Making a call on how a play is scored is one thing. But allowing more people in than the rules state is fundamentally changing the structure of the game. We can't do that.Fbg can't risk this. If either of those two finish first then fbg is on the hook for paying up every other person who gets bumped down in the final standings
31I don't like this answer but yeah.
The 30 teams with Anderson and Kamara are in a really good position.
So if you win I should get a portion of the winnings, rightThe crazy thing was looking through the standings on FBG and live scorer to find discrepancy.
If I take 1st, you are getting a cut for sure.So if you win I should get a portion of the winnings, right
In all seriousness, I'm rooting for you because that would be an awesome ending to the crazy ride you've been on the last few days.
