First year playing this contest after watching it for a few from the sidelines -- totally fun and engaging, and was thrilled to have made it to the top 500.

I'm outtie, but wishing the remaining 250 the very best of luck, and see you all next year!

 

[argamath]

Good luck to those remaining. I finally bit it this week, missing the cut by 0.29 points. Team 101194

 

[Mister CIA]

#271 wishes the top 250 well. Extra mojo extended to any remaining Garret Hartley owners. He was my ace up the sleeve.

 

[kevzilla]

My dad's entry petered out this week as well, falling victim to the DWill/Slaton injuries. He lasted a lot longer than I did..which I will hear about until the next contest. August can't get here soon enough.

 

[Wide Right]

The contest is now where uniqueness really starts to count. For example, out of the remaining 250 teams 183 of them have Aaron Rodgers as there QB where only 12 teams, including mine, have Phillip Rivers. Rodgers next three games are at Chi, at Pittsburgh and at home. I'm hoping for snow and cold in the Midwest for the next three weeks and Sunny skies in SD!

Or your uniqueness on a big player kills you and puts you irretrievably behind those of us brilliant enough to take Rodgers!

 

[smackdaddies]

Thank You Pittsburgh D/st for your magnificent 1 pt effort!

Could people please stop posting to this thread?

Everytime it rises to the top of the first page, its a painful reminder to those of us that were screwed by the Meachem play.

Wait. By me posting this...its like I am some kind of masochist.

Ha - just trying to keep the Meachem talk still alive. Good luck to the top 250.

 

[smackdaddies]

Any Sim updates/projections for the finals?

 

[Frank Costanza's Lawyer]

Its being reported that Percy Harvin (on 77.6% of rosters) is out today.

 

[ctriopelle]

Hopefully this doesn't disappoint too many of you, but I don't plan on doing too many updates this week. I have finals in 3 grad classes due, and I will be concentrating on that. I may post some top 5 scores after then afternoon games, but I doubt I will be making a strong effort to get an accurate list after the night games. We're 3 sets of games away from declaring a winner, so lots of things will change between now and then too.

Good luck to those that are still in the running!

[RenegadeGM]

Has there been a Power Ranking and Uniqueness update for the Final 250? I do understand those are all bonuses, just wondering if I missed it.

I am guessing I will be quite low on both

Good luck to those remaining. I finally bit it this week, missing the cut by 0.29 points. :( Team 101194

I was less than a point from making it too, but lost in week 12. When it gets that late, so many teams get bunched up. My team was not unique enough to have much of a chance, but it would have been fun to be in the final cut. Good luck. Biggest mistake was not have a reliable #2 QB. QB #1 had a bad week and no one to cover.

pfft - all you needed was Aaron Rodgers!

 

[jon_mx]

I am thinking there is a good chance the winner will have A. Johnson on their rooster.

 

[smackdaddies]

I am thinking there is a good chance the winner will have A. Johnson on their rooster.

Or Reggie Bush - only 1 owner left - how is that for uniqueness?Rice has had a great game, Manning is too (and Rodgers is blowing chunks)

[smackdaddies]

Well, Rodgers laid an egg - this is a great shot for non Rodgers owners to put up a lead

Manning, Clark, Mason, Meachum, Grant are a nice foundation.

 

[BassNBrew]

No Brandon Marshall teams.

This team has Rice/Grant/CJ, but not much else.

 

[BassNBrew]

The one Bush team is having a nice week...

I'm at 156 with only Nicks left.

I just registered for the site and figured out how to see my team score, but how do you see everyone else's score... or do you?

The site can't handle the live scoring of all the players and teams concurrently, I do that in a locally managed database. This week my updates will be fairly sparse for personal reasons, but I'll try to keep everyone updated better as we approach the finish. Please also note that our stats are NOT official, so things may be different on the actual FBG site standings...

174.5 + anything additional Nicks adds to it. Hoping that puts me in the top 20 or so.

Good, the now woulda been elimninated but woulda lasted way longer than my real entry is basically done at 179.25 for this week (+S Hill minus 9.55 but that ain't happenin'). Those relying on Rodgers probably ain't feelin' too good about getting in the money right about now...-QG

 

[Jail]

So, from this point forward there is no weekly elimination? Am I reading that right in the rules? We have to wait until after week 16 is done to see where we stand?

 

[Wide Right]

Thats right, no more elimination - its the combined scores of weeks 14, 15 & 16.

 

[jon_mx]

Well, yes and no. There are no eliminations, but you will know where you stand. If you are much below 190 this week, there is probably too much ground to gain to win.

Especially if you are a Rodgers owner below 180 or so.

The contest does pay to 150th place. So yes, if you are below 190 points, you are not in great shape to be in the top 10.I don't know, but I bet the midpoint (125th) will be in the 160 point range. So even if your me, tapping out at 145 points, you still have a shot at placing in the money (albeit very small money). But your going to have to score mo'bettah

 

[Organized Chaos]

170 with Boldin (-5.2) and V. Davis (-6.8)..

Score could change alot for me the way these two have been scoring.

 

[Bamboo Bill]

horrible week for me.

gonna need a miracle to make up ground over the next two weeks.

Especially if you are a Rodgers owner below 180 or so.

Sadly, yes to both of these. I own Rodgers and pretty sure I am below 180. I think I'm at like 170. My team is way too common to make it real high anyway. This contest has been great though. Just glad I made it this far.Assuming they'll still update us weekly with standings though right?

[BassNBrew]

I think it's very possible that a team makes a comeback to win this contest. In years past I just didn't see it, but this year there are holes in most of the lineups in the top ten.. Additionally, those top ten lineups are littered with injured/missing players. Several of them took single digit scores at the skill positions. I think it's possible that the final winner may be as low as the 25th percentile right now. In year's past I've seen little chance of winning outside of the top 10%.

Would agree w/that completely. Im currently in 4th (team 111147) but there is so much that is going to change in the next two weeks. Am just hoping I can have another good week and at least stay close.Grim

 

[Das Boot]

My team missed the cut by 1.55 pts from 1000 to 500

Would have made the cut to the final 250

Would have scored 217 in the 1st of the final 3 weeks.

 

[Angry Cheesehead]

I'm sitting at #60 for the week. I would be more than happy if I could stay in that position.

41st for me.I feel exactly the same way. (For both of us)

I'd agree as well and I'm in first right now. I know for my team my WR's are so shaky I've had to use Chaz Schillens the last two weeks. Much like you GrimReaper I'm just hoping to keep it close next week so that I can still feel like my team is in it when week 16 starts.
