and there ya have it folks another season in the books. Grats to Rick Greenwood and his RDG1 team. he walked away from all competition by winning both his h2h and points league to secure the overall #1 spot, (well done)! we had a tie for 7th with GUYRN#1 winning on points tie-break. and we had a tie for for 14th with Bennett's Best Team taking the spot on double tie-break (points then best h2h record). Missy's remarkable comeback from 29th to 8th place in just 4weeks was truly amazing to witness.
As for bonus points earned this year, we had 55 which is on par with prior years. However, the 1,2,3 bonus was a little off as the distribution went 38/12/5. At beginning of year i was hoping for a 50% decline from each one and approx a 63 total(36/18/9). Now this could be skewed by the fact that as a league our weekly scores avg 101pt and it should have been 105pts for a 10-man league. and with that being said we will keep the 120/135/150 bonus for 10-man leagues the same next year.
So proud of my Son's fantasy skills both taking 3rd and 4th place because as a whole they outperformed the so called experts on a weekly basis. If one were to look at Fantasy Pro's website (24 experts) they did better on a weekly basis then most of them. Lance is correct the three of us should start our own podcast as we each bring a different skillset to the table to discuss.
With the competition in this league going at it we have a number of people that have a high skillset for fantasy football, can you imagine if the rest of the country could just see how our one of a kind league works. imagine multiple 3-10man leagues going all at once. we could start a business doing this.
Now for the season operation as a whole: We did get off to a late start, we did have confusion on draft time starts, we did have confusion on "team names" must be the same for both leagues, we did have confusion on all the different "Sam's" that were playing ie which sam with which team and in which league, we did have confusion on getting people to join in their correct/respective leagues not just the sam's playing. And we did have confusion on postions/slots/bench people (yahoo fault) as Nic copied and pasted each league and it should have been the same across the board, however, it was not. Finally, the real bad news: towards the end of this season we had people that up and quit playing, this was identified by the lack of roster changes. People this cannot happen as it AFFECTS the other peoples standing position and quite possibility the "in the money" position. If you join in this league it is expected and understood that you will play through the whole season regardless of your position in the standings. This will ensure fairness and equality to the other players in the league!!! Again Missy was a perfect example of this, going from 29th to 7th in 4wks. She never, not once "gave up" because of her low standing position. CUDDOS to her, much appreciated!
And with a sad heart i must bid ado for this year. I so look forward to doing this every year and it brings much joy to this very old mans heart!
with the real good players we have maybe we should invite fantasy pros to go up against us?
