It stinks for the guys that were notified incorrectly, but the rules are the rules. Good catch Warrior, good to have you and Parrot as rightful league competitors!

He finished 1st in week 2, which was the first "official" WOC contest. He's not THE champion, just the first.Matt - How are you the champion of WOC?

Sorry, eaglezzz :(Any consolation or apology? Sucks to get your hopes up like that

Well with that intimidating "first ever" win, I feel like I should just revoke my spot and hide in the corner. Wait, I just realized I'm the "defending champ" for WOC weekly wins, so scratch that.

Here are the final 12 that will play in the league:
1. High Octane (4.3929) 2. Bonka (4.2195) 3. Matt Vereb (4.1734) 4. Jed (4.1672) 5. wisertime (4.1638) 6. gentry200meters (4.128) 7. jptrainwreck (4.1112) 8. Mike Lasko (4.0994) 9. Parrotheads (4.0899) 10. Crippler450 (4.0769) 11. Laxative Carnage (4.0759) 12. Fall Guy (4.069)
For the three people that we wrongly told that would be in the final twelve, we have added two years to their FBG subscriptions. Additionally, we apologize for not paying until the end of the contest, but found it too hard to get people's addresses / cut checks during the season. In next year's rules we will clearly state that all checks will be paid out at the conclusion of the contest.

Rules are the rules, I am alright with it, I won 1 week so coming away with $150 isn't too bad. Plus they did give me a free 2 year subscription which was a nice gesture. Actually a better prize then the 7-12th place teams. So I guess I placed 6th in the league without even playing.Good Luck to you guys next year should be fun to be a part of a free money league. If anyone wants to drop out I would gladly take your place.Sorry, eaglezzz :(Any consolation or apology? Sucks to get your hopes up like that

That's a pretty good consolation prize. Classy move.

Yeah, I'd be ready to surrender, too, if Dodds hadn't just pointed out who finished first in the overall standings.....Well with that intimidating "first ever" win, I feel like I should just revoke my spot and hide in the corner.

No, but it will have a big effect on the playoff contest.

Still sad I got the shaft last year. They said I finished in the top 11 then I got an email saying they were wrong that I was actually 13th. Wish I would be taking part in the league instead of the free 3-year FBG's subscription.
If any owner doesn't want his team I guess I am the alternative haha

please tell me they are doing this again. not even for the contest (though i am now a lifetimer anyway :sunglasses: ) but i really like looking at the data and seeing how the crowd felt. i used this to break ties that i might be biasing sometimes, usually it worked.
Jed
Footballguy
Last I read they were planning on it, I loved the data too. Makes the subscription well worth it to me.
Totally agree. It's these little things that they do that sets them apart from the competition imo.

I think 3 years of free FBG's is a pretty good consolation for an errant email due to an incorrect calculation
Heck, that's the same payout as being in the league and winning 4th place!

Who knows if all 12 owners respond... you may get in as the 1st alternate.
Sorry for the delay. The league has been set up on MFL, and you should receive your login information from them. I'll be e-mailing everyone to set up a draft night.

E-mail resent to new address.
Still haven't gotten an email from MFL and didn't get a reply to my email I sent asking if this would be a live or slow draft?
Wondering if anyone else using Yahoo mail has gotten the MFL email? I'll just switch to my gmail account since MFL has had issues with Yahoo for going on 3 years now.

I'm guessing live draft - Clayton is trying to get everyone's schedules down to set a time.
Looking for a live draft time, but I still haven't heard from gentry200meters/ColourHaze and Parrotheads. If someone can contact them and have them e-mail me, I'd be grateful.

Footballguy
ColourHaze has been on the league website and logged in with contact info you may want to check (if you haven't). Don't know which team is gentry's, but it looks like everyone except Parrothead has been there, so his contact info may be listed too?
