Bump for MOP/LHUCKS.... here's your chance to step up to the big leagues boys. Show us what you've got.

I knew they wouldn't show in this....

Alrighty...entries are locked. Edits beyond this point will void the entry. Thanks to those who entered. I'll be working in the official FBG Staff projections into the leaderboard so everyone can see how they did in comparison. (for kicks - Assuming its a non issue since it will be after the games are over).

Don't worry MOP and LHUCKS... I'll give you guys a BYE into next week

No worries. wasnt 100% clear I suppose. Since we had less than 28 entries (I think... gotta check) everyone makes it into the cuts.

 

[Bronco Nation]

Is there an easy place for us to check the player scoring/standings according to these scoring rules?

Thanks,

Byron

ETA: I set up a dummy Yahoo league with these rules and every player undrafted. If it's working properly, I show I have a score of 29pts so far out a possible 77pt perfect score.

Unless you identified a mistake in the 'unofficial results' I posted above, I had 6 points on WR: Andre/Fitz/Marshall/VJax/Wallace/Austin and thus 30 total.(I realize my joke list made it a bit difficult to read - sorry)Thanks,Byron ETA: Just my opinion, but I think 5 points for correctly identifying the #1 player at each position is too much weight. The quantity of correctly-identified high performers is much more useful to me as a resource here than whether that one name was put in exactly the right, top spot. When scores are in the range of 30, an extra 3 points just for naming Tom Brady #1 instead of #2 doesn't really make sense.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

You can make this process a lot easier in Excel. Just paste all the rosters in and then once you have the actual top 10s for the week, use VLOOKUPs or something to score them all at once.This would require everyone entering names in the same format, spelling them correctly, etc., or else you might have to do a little cleanup on the entries. But it would still almost certainly be faster than manually scoring each entry.

YOu're right! Sorry about that. Again, I was exhausted from a long day and had the Sheen roast on in the background (plus the GF throwing out random questions about the origins of certain jokes) so I wasn't 100% focused.Re: #1 Overall bonus....I'm willing to bump it down to 2 points but no lower. I realize it's arbitrary compared to correctly ID'ing the #2 overall... or the #3 overall.... but I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible while still rewarding not just getting them generally right, but also having some degree of precision.

PLEASE VOTE ON THIS BY NOON TODAY:

Since we had exactly 28 entries, I'd like to find a way to have this week's scores bear SOME relevance. I have two options:

1) Prune half of the 10 from next week's cut. Bring us to 23 this week then 18 the following week for the start of the weekly eliminations.

2) Have this and next week's scores combine/accumulate and then prune 10 next week.

Again, tiebreakers are date/time of finalizing your roster. IF there are 10 people with the same score and half have to go... the last 5 to finalize their roster (based on post or edit date) get the cut. It's the simplest, fairest way I can think to do it. In scoring weeks where it's cumulative, the submission order will be cumulative as well (eg: someone who submitted 3rd and 7th (10) will beat out someone who submitted 1st and 12th (13)).

Iggy, Not that worried about it. The list will be getting dramatically shorter over the next 2 weeks so I'll suck it up rather than go overboard with excel. Thanks for the suggestion though, GB. PROXY IGGY

Few requests:

1) I love shtick as much as the next guy.... but these are more difficult to grade when you don't enter names properly. Please either type the players full name, or at LEAST type First initial, and full last name. TIA

2) If you can keep the coloring of the ranks (#1...Top 5...etc) It would be very much appreciated. IT helps while I'm skimming over the entries and counting.

3) there was at least one entry who had too many players by way of having Two #4's or something of the sort. In this case I just renumbered the entry manually and scored it while dropping the extra names. Going forward that is an immediate DQ. I'm confident everyone in here can count to 15. If not, wear flip flops while forming your lists

Overall I really enjoyed week 1. I think we'll start to see the cream rise to the top over time. I am curious to see if the top people at certain positions will remain there (ie reflecting a better overall grasp of that position) or if it was just a fluke.

Option 1 or w/e is easiest for you. Thanks for taking the time to host this shindig.

I'm confused by how many are cut next week. Doesn't post 1 say we only cut bottom 2?

 

[Bonfire]

Option 1

 

[Nick Nasty]

Option 1!

Btw I'm very shocked I took this

To clarify the original post:

THE METHODOLOGY:

WEEK 2: QUALIFIERS - Everyone can enter (in this thread). If we have more than 28 entries, the Top 28 are selected to advance. (Ties broken by first date of posting)

WEEK 3-11: Each week entrants cut to the following numbers Week 3: 26, Week 4: 24, Week 5: 22, Week 6: 20, Week 7: 18, Week 8: 16, Week 9: 14, Week 10: 12, Week 11: 10. If we have fewer entries, everyone is safe until a cut needs to be made (ala FBG Subscriber Contest).

WEEKS 12-16: Scoring Resets then Top 10 Compete for Title. (cumulative scoring again)

I had gotten confused... we're not cutting 10 (Sorry guys, been a hectic couple of days. THIS IS WHAT"S HAPPENING:

WEEK 2 (this week): CUT TO 28 (No Cuts... had exactly 28)

WEEK 3 (next week): Cut to 26

WEEK 4: Cut to 24

WEEK 5: Cut to 22

WEEK 6: Cut to 20

WEEK 7: Cut to 18

WEEK 8: Cut to 16

WEEK 9: Cut to 14

WEEK 10: Cut to 12

WEEK 11: Cut to Final 10

WEEKS 12-16: Cumulative Scoring Starts for remaining 10 finalists. Winner is highest cumulative score over this stretch.

Hopefully that clarfies for everyone (including myself )

I'll start a new thread at 1pm Central time with clarified first post and we'll use that thread for the balance of the game. I'll update the first post with direct links to the start of each weeks' competition.
