1330 for me (weeks 2-10) but no reason to look backward now. It's all about week 11.
... except for the 20 or so people who posted in this thread, and the probably hundred of entries total, that didn't understand the rules, of course. Those that thought it was a redraft every week or they got to set starters, or didn't look at bye weeks (like the guy who's entry had something like 8 players on a week 3 bye... LT, LJ, Glenn, and some others)...Mostly luck once you've survived the bye weeks, I think. Getting through them took at least some skill.Marvelous said:Personally, I think it is mostly luck, especially since we are all probably relatively knowledgable in fantasy football.
Looks like you're clocking it at #53 overall based on total points scored weeks 2-10. You can't find this data anywhere on the site, you need to construct it. There are a few glitches in my data (due to what I needed to do to make it work in the day I took to make it), but it's 99% accurate I'd say. Biggest problem comes from the fact that about 50 entries still remaining had a "duplicate name" as of week 2, either from just being a common name, or someone buying multiple subscriptions to get more entries. Never checked the rules to see if a single person is allowed multiple entries, but if you pay for it, I can't imagine it being a big deal. I'm working on fixing those glitches, but it's tedious work as I have to fix all 50 entries by hand...a_rackowski said:I dont know where you guys are finding the overall rankings (I can only find the weekly.)

I thought it was a weekly redraft line-up and I'm still in...with Shaun Alexander.
Thanks ctriopelle, I'm Perez, I might have been a couple decimal points off in my addition...my original intention was to have a strong triumvirate...It's been my hope from the start that Palmer, LT, Harrison, carry me to the final 500...we'll know soon enough.....Are you Russ? 517...ryoly said:Hi ctriopelle...my total being 1296, could I assume to be somewhere in the 550-650 range...thanks in advance.....by the way I was eliminated after week 9 in that '04 contest, so happily I'm already ahead of that pace...
The kiss of death....ugh!I like my chance with anyone, but one bad week and it's over.While I'm waiting to get the formatting help, I'll drop a few more tidbits. Using the remaining 1501 entries as the data pool, a grand total of THREE teams have been in the top 50% every week.Player Min %Jack Downing 63.8%todd anderson 63.0%Kimberly Regester 57.6%Min % is their lowest percentile ranking, meaning for example Downing has beaten at least 63.8% of all entries EVERY weekAll 3 of these teams look strong and are among the ones to beat from what I can tell.To give an idea how fast this drops off, my min% 57th overall at 30.8%. I'm also only in the top 750 for total points (I've never been above the top 74% either not looking good for the home team!). The teams I listed above also have been in the 92nd percentile and above as well so they can score big with their players. What REALLY scary is that Mr. Downing has a MEDIAN percentile of 94.6% so HALF the time he is in the top 5%! The only other player with this number above 90% is Mike Pontius (and since there's 2 Mike Pontius, they'll have to figure out which is which)...and there's only 36 teams above 80.Anyone else ready to crown Downing as king? As long as Tomlinson keeps him alive he's looking more and more dangerous to me. I don't thing I've sliced the data in any meaningful way that doesn't have him out of the top 3 teams, and things drop quickly off the top as you may have started to notice.I WANT A CHANCE! GO BRONCOS D!
As a fellow Bearssssssss fan, it's tough to wish ill will, but with 25k on the immediate line, can you blame me? Just kicking myself for not realizing the potential of the Chicago offense as it kicked over and started to rev in the one game Rex played the end of last year and the second half of the Carolina game last January. Looking back at my picks, Berrien would have been the best buck I spent in this contest, and Gould/Chi D have been better money than most of the other picks available. Congrats on having the cajones to stand behind the team you believe in and if I can't win you have my vote to bring home the bacon!The kiss of death....ugh!I like my chance with anyone, but one bad week and it's over.While I'm waiting to get the formatting help, I'll drop a few more tidbits.

I'm safeHmm, hadn't noticed or pondered the ineligible state deal before, happily I'm not from one of those states. Dumb question, what happens to the prizes that those folks would've gotten? Do they slide down to the next person in line?:hopeseveryonesuddenlymovestoQuebec:-QG
Residents of Arizona, Louisiana, Arkansas, Montana, Iowa, Vermont, North Dakota and the province of Quebec may play and have their places noted in the standings, but are not eligible to win any prizes.

It's been a good run.See you guys next year.:mcnabb owner:
:favre owner:Grizz...Sorry to hear about your team taking a dive this week, didn't think all that talk would actually work!I'm in toruble at the moment. LT2 -18.9 and Javon Walker -5.1 to the resue???? Throw in A. Bryant -5.5 and SD -6 as well. Right now 118.8.
Good thing is Da Bearsss managed another W with Grossman laying a turd. All in all, I'd give up my shot at 25K (right now anyway) if someone could promise me a Chicago win in February!
Ben Watson as well will push it up.Evans is owned by 30.6%, that should bump the cutoff up.
I average around 125 / week and I've never been in the top 100. This week I'm looking at over 200. A lot of LT owners might be packing it in if he struggles this week.What those of us with already decent RB scores DIDN'T need was Gore going off, as it looks like he is going to do...this is starting to get to be a scary big scoring week....
I agree. If we can basically eliminate all the LT and SA owners from the contest, I will feel much better about doing well long term. For those of us with vanilla rosters we need all the "explosive" players to be severely limited...I average around 125 / week and I've never been in the top 100. This week I'm looking at over 200.

I have been thinking if we could eliminate all the Gore owners (all 78.1% of you), I would feel much better about my chances.As it stands now, I feel like I have a huge handicap because I don't have Gore on my team. I need a player to make up the difference for Gore plus another player to differentiate my team.I agree.

Unfortunately, with a 78% take rate on Gore and just next week to kill us off (he's not killing anyone today by himself anyway at 21+ points), he will continue to be a massive presense to the contest. Guys with big initial costs making it difficult to draft for depth however (like LT2, SA and LJ) are easily wiped off the map with a bad week. SA owners could be saying their final goodbyes this week and depending on the outcome tonight massive numbers of LT owners may be gone too. Just depends on how many of them found the value of Bush/Parker/Gore as compliments, since any 2 of that trio this week has covered nicely for any possible shortcoming they may experience.I have been thinking if we could eliminate all the Gore owners (all 78.1% of you), I would feel much better about my chances.As it stands now, I feel like I have a huge handicap because I don't have Gore on my team.

Yeah, it's tough to get a real feel for the cutoff until Drinin's post on Monmday morning. That said however, my roster contains almost every "cheap" player of popular significance and basically none that are "unusual" (at least none that score). My score is a decent barometer of how the week witll go, at least it has been every week up to this point. When I do well, the cut is high, when I do poorly, the cut is low. Bad news for everyone is that I'm over 172 right now, (fast hand calcs, may be off a couple) my highest score to date by far. I'm usually 15-30 points above the cut every week and this week probably won't be any different from the rest. Good luck to everyone and see 999 of you next week!Sending the LT owners packing is going to cause some havoc. Looking at todays CRAZY day, I wont be surprised if it happens. The Kevin Jones injury is going to send quite a few people packing as well as he has been a major Cog. Greg Jennings has a dissapointing day and he has been a pretty big player as well for alot of people. Its going to be tough for alot of teams to survive Brett Favres and Marc Bulgers and Chad Penningtons and Mr McNabbs nothing days. I dont think the scores are going to be as high as people are anticipating because of the significant # of Iconic players having such poor days.
