207 points this week. What a waste.

Your team is doomed.

 

[Organized Chaos]

To jump in with an update between all the stats discussion, I'm still on target to have the FBG35K Semi-live scoring (15 minute updates) ready to go for this weekend's games.

I ran into some major issues with the way I coded it a couple years ago and I'm basically rewriting the way it works from the ground up (including the stats gathering) it's more efficient and MUCH faster because of that. I've also corrected the scoring issues (negative yards not counting and some defense issues) from previous years based on initial testing.

As I've mentioned before, when this is ready, I will update this thread, plus add one at http://ffltools.com.

The teams are published and I've got everything set up to run on Sunday! You can get started here http://ffltools.com/fbg35k I wont be able to do a semi-live cut (at least for this week) because of the number of teams and the way I am doing it takes way to long. I am currently researching ways to make that script more efficient, but for now you can see your scores update at 15 minute increments when the games are being played.

Let me know if you see anything off.

awesome, OC I take it that your system uses folks' entry numbers as opposed to nicknames? That's how it worked for me. Of course since I have a nice low entry number that's easy to remember that's no problem Figured I'd post this fact for the other folks going to the OC Matrix

Yes, it uses the entry numbers as your unique identifier. If you have an account on ffltools, you can also "link" your team to your account so you don't have to enter it every time, you can also save other entries if you want to track a few.

I named my team and my contest number isn't showing up on my contest page...anyone know how to get team numbers if you've "named" your team?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Hrrmmm....tried it with my entry number and it's giving me the big middle finger anyway.

I'm sure I'm probably fat fingering something.

Thanks for doing this.

 

[chocula]

I have the same issue. Is there a way to get our team "number". Thank you for doing this. Should add to the fun of the contest.

[jimmy b]

I was having the same problem, refreshed the page and then put in my 6 figure ID and....VOILA......in

Thanks again OC

 

[northwoods]

OC, you are the man. Love the format and can't wait to try it out this weekend.

 

[Organized Chaos]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback guys!

I have to take off for a few, so if there are any issues, I'll be back on later and get back to you.

 

[chocula]

I wish I could do something like that. Amazing, simply amazing.

How many teams do you have registered? Is it enough that you will be able to generate a decent cut line guess.

 

[Cantonese32]

I wish to add my Thanks to OC also.

In appreciation of his efforts, I pledge to donate a specific amount at the end of my run for each week my team remains Alive in this contest utilizing the Donation Link found at the bottom of the FFLTools site.

 

[bushdocda]

I changed my entry number to a nickname and now can't find the number anywheres?

Thanks OC for flexing the innernet skillz.

I've got every team in the DB and I'm working on fixing the script to process every team. It takes about 30 minutes to run right now, so I will be able to get a current cut after the games on Sunday going into Monday. I'd expect to improves this, but I need to work through it still. It's a lot on the server to run through 11K teams, even if each process takes less than a second.

[Organized Chaos]

Thanks to everyone for the Thank You's... Good luck to everyone

 

[Asslete]

This is why I love these forums. Sometimes you have to wade thru a lot of nonsense and sniping to get to some quality information/discussion...but it is always worth it.

This is an amazing piece of work. Joe and the Football Guys crew should throw a few coins your way, as this is something all of us contest entrants clamor for every year.

 

[Das Boot]

Thanks to everyone for the Thank You's... Good luck to everyone

I agree with all the others, thanks for a MUCH appreciated place to view our scores - for all the junkies of this contest (and there are a lot), it add a whole 'nother dimension of fun/enjoyment to follow the scores on your website.And I also agree the format looks great.

 

[themeanmachine]

Thanks to everyone for the Thank You's... Good luck to everyone

And another from me, this is great stuff, thank you! Makes following the contest even more enjoyable for those of us without the time or brains to track our own teams manually.

 

[H8fulHuck]

Fantastic OC! Major props to add even more fun to this contest. This is going to be a fun year.

[pocketducks]

Thanks OC! This is great and I will make a donation as well in the near future.

Looking forward to this week's games!

 

[kardplayer]

This. Is. Awesome.

Just saved massive time for Sunday nights! At least until Week 5 or 6 when the Turk gets me.

 

[crnerblitz]

Thanks OC. I was wondering if anyone has the links to uniquness and projectionbs links for week 2. I've looked all over for these.

 

[Das Boot]

Several injuries (as of now with unknown and only speculative severity) to some big $ players that will have an influence on the contest - same as every year of course.

You need to get the Entry ID (it's a number in the URL when looking at your team), not the nickname you set up for your team.This shows you how to get that number here.. http://ffltools.com/fbg35k/entryid.php

[HellToupee]

oh and thanks OC

 

[jolszews]

Thanks OC, the scoring tool is great!

 

[Saint]

Sitting around 178 or so after the 2nd set of games... gotta love that $3 denarius moore pick that everyone in this contest should have.

 

[BassNBrew]

Sitting at 190 plus whatever the best of Manningham/Kendricks/Douglas. Should pop 200 and see you guys next week.

 

[ZenMaster]

I'm at 214.6 with a couple of players going tomorrow night. I don't think I've ever scored 200+ in a week.

 

[adrenaline]

Was scared after week 1 I only scored 130, at 200 right now with Manningham & Kendricks to go.

 

[Organized Chaos]

Lost Charles but hit 220.6 this week. Kendricks still to go, but doubt he makes a difference.

 

[DWI]

Sitting at 216.7 may add a few I like my big roster.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Parked in the mid 180's with a couple flier types to play tomorrow night.

What's the cutdown again this week? 10k, correct?

 

[jdoggydogg]

Scored about 205 points.

As I knew would be the case, my RBs stink. But my WR corps is a monster:

Philip Rivers 30.10

Tim Hightower 11.10 (Cadillac still to play)

Roy Helu 12.70

Vincent Jackson 39.20

Nate Burleson 16.30 (Nicks still to play)

Denarius Moore 28.10

Aaron Hernandez 22.70

Fred Davis 23.60

Rob Bironas 18.00

Houston Texans 6.00

 

[QuizGuy66]

Done with 230.25 - can only hope my team can keep it up!

Looks like I've already used a fair number of players in only 2 weeks:

QB (1/3) Brady used, Hasselbeck and McCoy not used

RB (4/6) ADP, Benson, Hightower, Redman used. P Thomas and M Barber not used.

WR (5/8) V Jax, S Moss, Play, Burleson, D Moore used. L Evans, Ant Brown, Cribbs not used.

TE (2/4) Hernandez and F Davis used. Daniels and E Moore not used.

PK (1/3) Nugent used. Suisham and Feely not used.

TD (2/3) Dallas and Arizona used. Buffalo not used.

TOT (15/27 used)
