We know people have been wanting a cutline number. We made it generous and from our calculations should get us our 25%ish number (of the total teams of the tournament) into the playoffs. Although, we wanted to give you something to shoot for as well. Hard cutline establishes that.
There is one league where the number one team would only really make it in because of record where the number 6 team looks clear to go with 1825 points on the season regardless of his 6-6 record. haha.
@Joey Wright
I think you committed to the top 2 based on record so in this instance 3 teams will get in.
That is correct. It was just an example of some of the variance we are seeing across the different divisions.
Almost a lock.benching Tua was stupid.
Still ranked 264th, so hopefully it won’t bite me.
1749.75 points right now, so I guess I just need 225.25 more?

Don’t jinx me!Almost a lock.

I love this decision and that you've communicated it clearly.Reaching out to the team to see the exact mathematic equation that was used to establish the cutline.
In general, the 1975 point total was reached after looking at the top scoring teams outside of current division leaders and what average weekly point totals it would take to hit our hopeful 25%ish threshold. We discussed doing a projected cutline, but with the feedback we've received on wanting a cutline point number, we decided to give managers a number to shoot for. If more than 25% of the player pool makes it into the finals, in the name of community, so be it.
I've been running the numbers for several weeks based upon the original criteria. My number was the equivalent of 2000.8. That's works out to 101 extra teams that were let in or .64 teams per league.
Read the posts above and it will tell you exactly where you stand and how many points you need to advance.
You would need to average 101.15 pts over the next two weeks to get in. Totally doable, as you are currently averaging 147.725 per week so far this season.
You got that @InDitkaWeTrust !!!!
@baconstripdivots There is not. I will say in 2025 we are going to have a better hold on a fun weekly recap. Appreciate you all being here for year one of our growing pains!
This begs the question if it hasn’t been asked already. For those actively participating this year are we automatically grandfathered for next season and future seasons going forward (obviously as long as we keep a subscription active)? Hope so as I have enjoyed this more that expected!!!!@baconstripdivots There is not. I will say in 2025 we are going to have a better hold on a fun weekly recap.

Great point. I can tell a couple teams haven't done much in my division but most have kept up. I don't think any of them are frequent posters on the message board though which is disappointing. I was hoping that would be a big part of the process.This begs the question if it hasn’t been asked already.

Funny you mention that @Ruffrodys05
Exciting things ahead!
This is outstanding and I am both grateful and excited!Funny you mention that @Ruffrodys05
I do think inaugural participants getting guaranteed entry is the least we can do. I will say the entry and invite process will change, but participation can be assured. We had just under 2000 this year. I think we will be at least tripling that for 2025.
ah many a commissioners can relate, i'm sure. appreciate you, Joey, this was absolutely a massive endeavor and kudos for how well it got done.
Looks like I'm on the outside looking in. I'll need 180 pts next week to hit the cutoff and I don't think that's happening with this squad. It's been a fun season, though! Thank you @Joe Bryant and @Joey Wright for putting this together for us degenerates!The mid season doldrums really did me in. I'll be about 100 points below the cut-- and even that would need a bit of luck. My standings magic carpet ride is running out of pixie dust.
We do have at least one team (possibly two) that seem on track to possibly get in via the total points scored and I must say, this is very, very cool. @InDitkaWeTrust, I'll be rooting for you buddy
Pro tip Joey, there's this site called Footballguys and they have all kinds of tools to help you win in fantasy football. let me know if you need a link.
It has become very popular and in terms of running a large tournament is user friendly on our end. It also lends itself to be much more community based in terms of ease of communication.Can someone explain to me the usage of Sleeper? Because its free? This was the first time I used it, and dont like it at all. I use it strictly from my phone, so maybe I am missing something, but its very blah.
Has nothing to do with my team being garbage
I'll check it out ahha. Nah, the injury bug bit me bad. I'll be more focused in 2025!
Same except I need 148.35.
These week 14 byes are out of control. To my detriment, I avoided most BAL and WAS players because of week 14 byes.
This was my first experience with Sleeper, and I rather liked it. I liked the alerts when one of my players scored or had a big play. I don't think I would want to use it for my dynasty league but for this kind of redraft league, I enjoyed it.Can someone explain to me the usage of Sleeper? Because its free?

I switched to Sleeper a few years ago for our relatively straight forward Keep 13 dynasty league, and haven’t looked back. Every site has its quirks, pros and cons, so I don’t see sleeper as much better or worse than others. My key critieria were FREE and Simple To Setup/Use, and Sleeper fits that bill.This was my first experience with Sleeper, and I rather liked it.

The comeback continues!7-5 and up to 492nd place. And now up to SECOND place in division 0083! Thanks you for fueling this comeback, @Joey Wright !!All the way up to 826th place!TouchéIt was probably better for you when you couldn't find your team.... OHHHHHHHHH!Fantastic! Loads so fast and allowed me to find my team in the overall standings…..We should be good on all the player images being gone.
……
Waaaaay down in 1001st place (page freakin 11 out of 20. Oy)
:(
Allow me to retort…
It’ll make my 2nd half comeback that much sweeter now that everyone knows that I’m amazingly average at this.
The comeback begins…
6-5 and up to 657th place.
Also, while I have you @Joey Wright , I believe my team is at 492nd place judging by record and points scored, but my login name is totaly blank in the standings (though it has been in the standings for every week leading up to now). Can you see if that can be fixed, please? Thanks
