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-QGOk, someone please explain the defense scoring to me. What does: add (24-points allowed)/2andadd (325-yards allowed)/20mean?Thank You
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.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.
Look up three posts - I posted the overall leaders...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'kardplayer said:Look up three posts - I posted the overall leaders...'eaglezzz said:I wish there was a place where you could find the overall leaders for this contest.

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.Cool thanks for doing that.

Thanks. This is great info. I guess I know why I am biased: I am in 12th and 3rd place using a straight average. Haha!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.For comparison:Top 12 average scores of those with at least 3 qualifying scores

No, they're working on it now. You should be getting an email from Dodds asking for a mailing address soon.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?
