when is it official? I always just check on Tuesday morning but if it releases tonight I'll wait. My heart can't take the wait till tomorrow.The highest Turkomatic cut line was 172 (though reality is often stranger than a simulation).The 80% percentile Turkomatic had a cut line of 166.It's gonna be a close one.-QG

The Turk is sorta like Santa in that it's generally advisable to go to sleep and await your (hopefully) treasure in the morning. I don't recall exactly what time but it's more like a 6-8am type deal.Good luck my fellow Turk-sweaters!-QGwhen is it official?

Sweat and survive. Sweat and survive.Scored exactly 2 points about the cut line and was 929th. There were 71 teams that made it by less than 2.
Cleared the cut by 3 points... 3 out of 4 years that I have gone to week 12, but have never made it to the final 250 yet.

Knocked out by 3 pts. Had the Bears defense and figured it was a lock being they shut the Dolphins out. However, number of points awarded for shut outs... ZERO!!!

I'm out, but am happy to have made it to week 11 my first year competing in the contest. I'll be back next year with a better strategy, using what I learned this year to hopefully go deeper than week 11. Thanks for holding this contest, as it was a blast while it lasted. As others have said, the Football Guys subscription fee is worth it just to compete in this contest alone. Best of luck to those that are still alive and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

still sadly following along. week 8 did me in by a slim margin... wouldn't have missed a cut since. Week 8 was the only week I was even close to getting the ax. 
Wonder how many other teams are like that (other than the several hundred that it happened to this week).

Congrats to the others that have made it this far - as you can see there are nothing but strong entries left now and a lot of good ones just missed out.
I feel particularly bad for this poor guy. Were it not for the 2 kneel downs by Rivers at the end, he would've made it.
Good luck in week 12 to those who've also made it.
Some stats:
Out of 1006 entries (including 6 staff) there are only 17 that do not have Arian Foster. With 2 weeks left until the finals it very well could be a clean sweep for him.
Here's the quickee breakdown. Another tough one for the 18-player guys.
The overall survival rate is 7.70%. The week 12 survival rate was 62.41%
18 players. 5416 started. 189 remain. 3.49% survival rate. 56.59% week 11 survival rate
19-21 players. 4204 started. 277 remain. 6.59% survival rate. 60.09% week 11 survival rate
22-24 players: 1905 started. 232 remain. 12.18% survival rate. 64.09% week 11 survival rate.
25-27 players. 943 started. 173 remain. 18.35% survival rate. 64.55% week 11 survival rate.
28-30 players. 593 started. 135 remain. 22.77% survival rate. 72.19% week 11 survival rate.

Looks like the small rosters continued to take a beating, however the average sized rosters held their own vs. the larger rosters. For some reason the 30 man rosters are bucking all statistical trends.

Tolbert saved my bacon! (barely)
The sim had me at 19% going into MNF.
I am not at all confident in the next couple of weeks. Lots of good teams and the cut will be high.

Had been between 30 and 65 over the cut line weeks 3-8 and then BAMM!!still sadly following along. week 8 did me in by a slim margin... wouldn't have missed a cut since. Week 8 was the only week I was even close to getting the ax.Wonder how many other teams are like that (other than the several hundred that it happened to this week).

Holy cow, I survived again with what has to be one of the worst receiving groups in the contest (Knox, Mike Wiliams, Gaffney are my top 3). Made the cut by 8. I'm on borrowed time, but it's been a good run considering that I only put a few minutes into making my roster. I wish I would have used that Finley money on better receivers.

For those who are still in it and lingering around the thread:
1. What's your roster?
2. How original is it?
3. How do you rate your chances of getting through the next few weeks?

Players used through Week 11:
QB - E Manning 6, Roethlisberger 3, Bradford 2
RB - Gore 9, Foster 9, R Brown 4, Spiller 1, Choice 0
WR - C Johnson 8, Welker 7, Tampa Mike 7, Garcon 4, Shipley 4, Clayton 4, Murphy 3, Camarillo 2
TE - Hernandez 8, Z Miller 5, Gronk 2
K - Bryant 5, Lindell 3, Hanson 3
D - Raiders 4, Lions 4, 49ers 3
My roster is not very deep, particularly at RB, as Ronnie Brown has been a big disappointment, and the $17 on Spiller was a wasted investment. Eli losing all of his receivers really hurts too. I like my WRs but it's a very non-unique group, and suddenly my TEs have trended downward.
I've gotten in the top 500 before, it would be nice to break through to the Top 250, but I may not have enough bullets to make it.
