My opponent, the current Calvinball, didn't set a valid roster last week. If he doesn't show up before tomorrow I'm awarding the Calvinball to the noodles incident as they were 2nd to lowest.

I'm spending a lot of time at medical offices and the rest of my time at work this past week plus, and my unavailability will continue through the weekend due to a business trip arriving at an inconvenient time. Since ESPN doesn't have an app for an old S3 and work blocks anything fantasy-related I'm kinda stuck when I don't have time to set stuff on my home pc.

So do whatever makes sense for the group as a whole, sorry I'm dragging the league down this month. :smith:

The solutions to "Rushing Yards", "Receiving Yards", and "Passing Yards" each must equal 1

Gonna let the commishes weigh in, but pretty sure you can't changed anyone else's rules :)

Although there are many situations where the numbers are going to work out to be only 1 and -1!

Given the lack of time remaining, I just looked and the yards would be based on PostID ending in 2084.

Rushing = 1
Receiving = -1
Passing = 1

I've got a spergsheet set up to type in the post ID should we get a new rule or a Calvinball rule.

E: Sorry if you saw it before, I screwed up the formula... but it's all set now!

The square root of a yard is a football!

All completions, rushing attempts, and receptions are worth the square root of the next post ID # divided by 999, rounded to the nearest whole number.

The sign of the final results are determined by odds (-) or evens (+) for
-completions: third to last number of post ID
-receptions: 2nd to last number of post ID
-rushing attempts: last number of post ID

(I'll calculate it after the next guy posts)

edit: I didn't notice the rule above that makes yardage worth 30/yard so I tweaked my rule a little bit.

I vote that we start giving the calvinball to people that set their lineup so that we can start getting calvinball rules again.

Also surprised we have no lurkers about this year. Normally we have 2 or 3 jumping at a chance to get in if someone stops playing or if they get a chance to set a new rule. I was hoping to have fun with the lurkers helping with my rules one week.

e: And your UNOFFICIAL lineups for the week that at least me and my opponent both seem to set our lineups too:

0 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
0 W/R/T FLEX
1 DST
1 K
2 P

Figured I would add that just in case anyone was wondering an didn't want to research it with kickoff coming up soon.

This week the first 6 rule change NAMES must start with their subsequent letter

This is the first rule so I just used T,

The next rule must start with U, the next R, the next K etc. After TURKEY is spelled it's all extra stuffing, and any rule name can be used. Any of the first 6 rules that do not follow TURKEY will not be counted :colbert:.

Happy thanksgivings y'all.

New rule! New rule!
Und now ve need to shake zis up a bit

New scoring rules will be altered this week based on the postid of the post in which the rule is made.

If the postid is even, the points assigned for the scoring event will be doubled.

If the postid is odd, the points assigned for the scoring event will be halved.

If the postid is divisible by 3, the signs of any scoring rules will be reversed. Positives become negatives and negatives become positives.
