Ok, someone please explain the defense scoring to me. What does:

add (24-points allowed)/2

and

add (325-yards allowed)/20

mean?

Thank You

Example with the Packers defense:(24 minus 3 points allowed)/2 = 21/2 = 10.5+(325 minus 424 yards allowed)/20 = -99/20 = -9.95So 10.5 + (-9.95) = 0.55-QG

Welcome to the top 12 Bonka... if everyone would be so kind as to not jump into the top 12, I'd REALLY appreciate it :)

If you are wondering where you are standing...

25th Place = 377.14

50th Place = 367.42

75th Place = 360.26

100th Place = 354.34

 
Surprising amount of stability in the top 12. I'd expect that to keep changing though... This week's champ was playing for the first time, and it doesn't take much to "pop" with one good week.

 
Just a quick PSA, if you are only answering 60 questions, be careful that one of them doesn't involve a player on a bye.Today I submitted 16 answers, but one of them was disallowed because it included Allen Bradford who was waived by the Bucs this week, then picked up by Seattle who is on a bye. I thought I had been given a free one, but it turned out to be invalid and now I have only made 59 picks this week, not qualifying for the week.I PM'd Doug asking for a reset, but just thought I'd let everyone know so you can avoid this scenario.
Well, never heard from Doug and now I'm a bit annoyed by the situation. I assumed that since I was given the question, it would count. Now that it doesn't, I'm not qualified. I got 40/59 for 67.80%, which would be 4th on the week and a nice score toward the contest for the year. Even if I answer one more and get it wrong, I'm at 66.67% and tied for 5th.Just would be nice if the system knew not to ask questions that would be considered invalid after being submitted. I spent a lot of time making my picks each day, and it just sucks having all of that work thrown out on a technicality that I wasn't warned of.
 
I wish there was a place where you could find the overall leaders for this contest. Not just the weekly leaders but the overall leaders

Cool thanks for doing that. Looks like I am at 365.13 points, I will need a 70% week here soon

Looks like anyone that wants to finish in the money needs to have 67%+ week. I am a little disappointed that the scoring is more heavily titled towards having a really great week than being consistently good. If you can pull out one 67%+ week and two 60% weeks out of 16 (only 3 of 16), you probably finish in the money. The rest of the weeks could be horrible. But the user that averages 60% for 16 weeks may not be in the money if she doesn't have one big week. A bunch of really nice weeks above 60% doesn't get you in the money unless one is extremely good.For next year, it would be nice to shift the weighting or add a prize for those who are consistently good.

Also, the community rankings say that the rankings from more accurate community members are weighted more heavily. How is that done? Why not base the prize (or a prize) on the algorithm used to weight projections? After all, FBG is saying that is who should be trusted most.

In any event, it's a great contest and tool.

 
I like that it's top 3, so that folks can join during the year. Plus, no one has incentive to pull a Jose Reyes and sit out the last few weeks if their average is high. I could see using top 5 or 6 splitting the difference between too short and too long.

Actually, I just realized I was top 3 in week 4 and there were weekly prizes. I'm guessing those will be dealt with after it all wraps up?

No, they're working on it now. You should be getting an email from Dodds asking for a mailing address soon.
 
Very unofficial standings through Week 7. I'm away on a work trip - plus, all my RB's got hurt this week, so I need to figure out who I'm picking up :) - so I won't have a chance to verify this is 100% accurate this week.

Back in the game! Need a 70+ to secure it though.
 
I don't mean to be a buzzkill again....but it's been like a month since I provided my address and still no prize $. Has anyone received their check? No responses to my emails.

Since this is becoming a ''where is my money from fantasy football contests'' thread it needs to be moved to the looking for leagues thread.

Seems like participants in this contest would be interested in knowing if the contest actually pays out at some point.I didn't expect this to be a problem at all :no:

Holy crap! An 80% week shoots me up the rankings. :eek:
Holy crap! A 62% week has me, well pretty much where I was :kicksrock:Seriously, dude congrats on the great week. :thumbup: You're gonna be tough to catch now.-QG
I'd like to think so, but if I could blunder my way into a score like that, so can everyone else on the board. I mean, I'm the guy who had both Vincent Jackson and Julio Jones on my bench this week so that Manningham and Green could start.

Wow, 3rd again, new high score for me too. I'll take that considering I forgot to submit picks the 1st day and figured I wouldn't do well not being able to pick and choose.

That 80 though...jeez. Lots of high scores this week. Nobody is really safe with the amount of weeks left.

 
Here's the top 25:

New top 2 and High Octane takes a HUUGE lead! 4 players in total join the top 12: High Octane, MoomFresh, Parrotheads, and Mirrione

Just out of curiosity, what are the bottom 10 contest scores- worst x3 + 2nd worst x2 + 3rd worst.I have to be near the top
The nice thing about the contest is that you aren't punished for bad scores. I had a couple weeks under 40% that aren't holding me back.

My pleasure...I ran the numbers, but don't want to embarrass the "innocent". What's your game name? I'll tell you your rank :)I will tell you thought that "High Octane" who is #1 in the "real" standings is #10 in these.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. ;) Sort of fitting, considering the way the season has gone for the inspiration for my team name.
