Has anyone ever lost by .01 points? (1 Viewer)

I've tied while taking results out to two digits. I've tied in a league with decimal scoring (1 digit) and 4 tiebreakers (highest scoring reserve, QB, Def, K)

I tell every league that I join: "If you don't want ties, you need VERY deep tiebreakers."

 
Or is my 111.58-111.56 loss this week the closest in fantasy football history?
It's been 2 years. Went to bed up literally .99Woke up, tackle is added to some receiver, I believe Brandon Lloyd of all people, for the other team...Tackle=1 point...
 
I have both won and lost by .01, and only play in a maximum of three leagues in any one year.

On another occasion I lost by .05 and felt hard done by, however another team in our league got done by the dreaded .01 that same week.

 
Guy in my league won the Championship game last year by .05 (that's the smallest increment we use, therefore the smallest margin of victory possible).

Over the ten or so years I have been playing I have lost in 2 separate championships by decimals of .10 or less. In both cases, I had very high scoring games by league standards with no realistic line-up change.
 
I lost a playoff game once, because my QB (McNair) knelt down twice at the end of the game taking him from 51 yards rushing to 49. I was winning up until those two plays.

 
I've lost by 0.02, which is 1 yard passing, the smallest point increment we have.

I've also won by 0.05, which is 1 yard rush/rec, the 2nd smallest.

In 2002...I lost an Ants League championship game by .01And like you...went to bed with a $3,000 win...and an adjustment was made overnight...woke up with only $1,000 runner up.
 
I was behind 163.51 to 163.50 with Scheffler left and he had that one long gain. I almost did.

 
This one has to be up there. Last year I lost the superbowl by just .5. Then when the stat corrections came in the next day, Kurt Warner's score (my QB) was adjusted up by 1 point. With the correction the result of the superbowl fliped to .5 in my favor!!! Ouch that's gotta sting!

 
It happened last year. I barely sniped the eventual Super Bowl Champions. He was salty...

Outer Bank Legends 68.35

Macon Myrmidons 68.34

 
Wait until the scoring changes are posted on Thursday.
Omg scooter, it looks like you were right. He lost half a point and I am now down as the winner! This is awesome. Especially after the guy offered me Ray Rice straight up for Joseph Addai yesterday. And this is a redraft.
 
Happened last year in my league. In week 14, the first week of playoffs in my league, Guy A was losing to Guy B by quite a lot going into Monday night's game between New Orleans and Atlanta. Guy B had no players left. Guy A, who was behind, still had Brees to go. Brees had a good game and his final completion of the night, with only a 2-3 minutes left in the 4th quarter, gave Guy A a 0.99 point lead over the other team. Obviously Guy A was going nuts and calling people saying how he pulled out the miracle win. Well, unfortunately for Guy A Atlanta got the ball back at the end of the game, couldn't do anything with it, and turned the ball back over to New Orleans. On the very last play of the game Brees came in and took a knee. In Yahoo leagues that counts as -1 yard rushing or -0.1 points. Guy A ended up losing and being knocked out of the playoffs by 0.01 points.

To make matters worse, turns out he would have won the league championship had he won that game. Doh!

 
In a league many years ago with no playoffs, Jeff George knelt down at the end of the game which cost me a point which caused me to tie my game. However, I then lost the tiebreaker on the game which put me in a tie for the best league record. However, I lost the best record tiebreaker also so I finished in second place.

 
According to what I've read, there are something like 18 million fantasy footballers out there.

I'd say yeah, the odds are that every possible scoring permutation has been hit.
