Ugh, my bad then. For some reason it let me insert picks though, and said I had 60 for the week. I looked on Sunday and it changed to zero.It's been a part of the rules since Week 1. Those who got hosed did it to themselves (ncluding me).Did they ever say this? I got hosed.

Saturdays have been in play all year, however they were specifically excluded this week in line 3 or 4 of the rules since most of the games were on Saturday.

Wow finally won a week. Figures I win when there is only 53 qualifiers, oh well I will take it. Good Luck to everyone in Week 17
QuizGuy66
Footballguy
LOL I need either 83/100 or 62/75 right to take over first place (and that's assuming nobody else improves!)
Heck I need 76/100 or 57/75 to even get into the top 3!
I need 72/100 or 54/75 to hit the top 12 as it stands now.
Current YTD score is 381.29
I am batting 60% on kicker picks though

I hope they fix this. Says I answered 36 and I definitely answered 60. Need a good week to sneak in.

I printed mine out last night. At 60.3% with a possible 65% which would put me nowhere close to the top 12, or even top 50. Needed 73.3%.
Congrats to all who made it to the 2012 league.

I loved this contest... I really hope it continues.
But there are a couple things lacking, yearly standings being the biggest.
And it would be nice to have this weekend fixed soon. I think I did well and may have snuck in the top 12 but I won't know till it is fixed! Are anyones standings for week 17 working?

Warrior,Thanks for the update. Props to you for raising the red flag. I won in week 3 and recieved one confirmation email weeks later, and havent been paid. I was never told when payment would be sent, I am not sure where "after the season" came from. I was burnt on payments in fantasy football in the past, that is the reason I dont participate in leagues anymore. I am starting to wonder if not getting paid is the norm in this industry. Good luck.

Did you try emailing David and Joe? Doesn't look like Doug has posted since early October.

I didnt email them. I didnt think I should have to. In my opinion, i think its footballguys responsibility, not mine.

Guys, take a chill pill.
I'm just happy they gave us this new contest, and 8000 other members didn't notice.
I'm sure once the season ends, and they aren't still working on weekly content they'll crunch all the numbers and send checks or award subscriptions.
If you're having a financial emergency let them know.
As far as I'm concerned this is found money and if Kardplayer's unofficial results are correct, can't wait 'til next year!

No worries. I'm hoping it wasn't a mistake on your part. If #11 or #12 receive invites, I think I'm safe.I replied to the email I received from winning the weekly contest and am hoping to hear back soon. I haven't received replies to my other emails regarding the contest though, so who knows

Did the top-12 email provide a list of the top 12? If so, can you post that here?

It didn't provide a list, just said that I made top 12.

Oh ok, congrats Jed!Parrothead, did you receive a top-12 email? I ask because you're one spot ahead of me in the unofficial rankings. If you made it in, there was either a mistake or I'm #13. Whereas, if you did not receive an email, it's likely that we were both bumped by a handful of entries somehow.
Honestly, I can't believe there isn't some sort of official ranking somewhere. This contest was really fun and really did drive me to visit the site more often, which is frustrating because the contest has been so incredibly unorganized. The slightest bit of clarity about awarding prizes (i.e. "You'll receive an email in January"), or at the least, an official ranking (weekly and/or for the overall season) would have taken very little time/effort to produce. By the way, thanks again to kardplayer for putting forth the effort to keep us updated each week with unofficial results.
A big part of my satisfaction with Footballguys and reason for my yearly paid subscription is due to the unique contests, which are generally very fun and keep me coming back.

Yikes...well, maybe it wasn't a mistake then. Hopefully this gets some attention from someone involved in the contest and we find out the results...or at least who the top-12 are.Got my email for winning a week but, alas, no top 12 email.
Since I had emailed Dodds about the overall standings before I got his second email about them, he got back to me and did mention two things about the league. The overall finish order should be used as the order to select draft slots and the scoring will be FPC. Looking forward to next August!

Can't be it... warrior was in top 12 before week 17. Would need to see the final top 12 list so i could figure out what went wrong.
Warrior
Footballguy
Agreed...there weren't nearly enough high scores to bump me down 5 places. I know what happened. I just got a reply back from Dodds saying "I do not have you in the top 12. The 12th place scored .6687. Yoour score was only good enough for 15th place: .6661.
I tried figuring out this calculation and here's what I came up with:
I scored 71.67, 64.52 and 63.64 in my highest 3 weeks. The total is 1.9983. Divide that by 3 and you get .6661.
It seems like Dodds took a simple average of the top three weeks, rather than a weighted average of top week x3, second week x2, third week x1.
Parrothead, there's hope! I'll reply to Dodds, you guys may want to do the same.

Great googely moogely! That's going to be a tough egg to uncrack for guys that were notified but didn't really qualify under rules. I hope a solution comes up that works out for everyone!
