I find myself with 2 starting TEs and that's definitely a luxury right now. Would be willing to part with one for an RB. No, not Wayne Gallman.

i responded to one trade request yesterday, but i think i might have ignored one earlier in the week. if so, my apologies; i totally forgot about it.



aaaand i declined another without the intended explanation. Mikkyler 5oz Pour, i'm open to trade for one of your RBs, i just don't need a WR. PM me if that's easier!

I'm alive and looking forward to sending out beer to one of the winners at the end of the year when my stupid garbage team disappoints me.

Well, of course even on the off chance I actually won anything I would still be sending out some good beer. At this point though, I figure I might only have an outside shot at the losers bracket box. Which I want to remind everyone is a thing and is it good reason to keep setting your lineup every week even if it seems rough right now. Aside from just being a nice human being and a good sport.

Which one can I get for Zach Pascal?

Taking a look now and the only positions you could get and upgrade from me would be kicker and D/ST. And I guess McCaffrey but he's single-handedly accounting for like 1/3 of my points. Your roster is probably the best in the league right now. Like anybody who'd be a clear upgrade over your starters would also probably be A: too valuable to trade for a TE and B: probably be tops at the position for somebody else's roster. Not trying to be snarky, just sayin' I think you're stuck with 3 TEs. :shobon:

Just about. Looks like you and me and Rapoporter are all still jostling for the #3 spot but we'll all be in, though seeding is going to depend on total points. As of right now that's Dallas Sucks, Breesus and Rapoporter in order but it's not such a huge gap this week that any of us couldn't shoot past the others with a good outing and/or a bad one from the other team.

Realized I was working under the assumption that 3 teams get in from each division and I guess that's not the case? So we're going to have a 6-7 6th seed it just remains to be seen who since we have five 5-7 teams. One of Naturdays or Schrodingers Brewery is definitely eliminated this week since they're head to head, the rest will depend on who wins their games and then total points. Right now the leader among all of them in that category is Arcega Whiteclaw.

Does anyone remember how we figured out the loser's bracket winner last year? Was that on points?

I won the loser bracket last year, but it was set up oddly.

I won the first two weeks, and no one else did, so I won. Technically there was a third week, but because there were no byes set the first week it didn't make sense?

I feel like instead of just bringing my one losing record to the playoffs I have absorbed the Voltron-like power of 5 losing records. Good luck in consolation!

You're going to win this week because fantasy football only exists to disappoint me. Yes I know I came in 2nd last year, but that was only fate playing the long game so now that I've had a taste of success my further defeats can be more bitter.

I was correct. After winning my first 3 games handily, I went on to go 2-8 in my remaining games. In closing, Fantasy Football is a game of contrasts.

I refuse to believe I'm going to win. Woods is going to get concussed and fumble on his first catch or something.

How does the consolation bracket work?

Quiet Feet
Dec 14, 2009

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





That is a good question. I know Paul Proteus/Breesus won last year since he said as much a ways up on this page. The thing I'm having trouble figuring out is just how that worked out. Obviously not by record because there were 3 2-2 teams at the end, and if it was by total points Ben Roethlislager would've won (and I'm glad did not because he welched on his beer shipment) so it's not that.

So, I guess the third week didn't count? That seems wrong and I don't get why byes would matter. I'll see if I can PM Catfish Noodlin' since he was commish last year.

Wait, how in the world are there going to be three matchups in the winner's consolation ladder?

Edit: Afaict shouldn't it be the winner of gmc7 anyway? I honestly thought that it being the winner of the game on the top of the bracket sounded too simple but if that's really the case then it'd be you vs Beer Hat for the consolation box.

Alright, got a reply from Catfish Noodlin and I'm working on it but I'm at home with my sick daughter I don't have the brainpower to spare right now. Kinda tempted to just go with how the ladder would normally go (winner of game 7 on the ladder) because on very quick glance, I think it yields the same result. Don't want to inadvertently screw anyone out of a win though so I'll take a longer look later tonight. Unless anyone else wants to math this out for me.

quote:

I can't find the 2018 league results, but I believe what we did was something like this:

Week 1: All consolation bracket losers eliminated
Week 2: Compare scores to determine who would have won in a proper match-up between eliminated teams.
Week 3: Same as above

I think I might have lucked out where I think it would have generated an easy single-elimination winner, but without the results I'm not sure. It's certainly something that I should have remembered to mention that needed to be fixed for this year's league, I'm sorry I dropped the ball on that one.

Here's the thread for reference:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/s...40&pagenumber=4

Like I said, I think that still works out for a Naturdays/Beer Hat game for the consolation box but I'll give even odds that I've had a brain fart somewhere.

[I want to] shit in your fucking mouth. [I'm going to] slap your fucking mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face [laughter]. Fuck you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you.
Last year what ended up happening was that I treated only the teams who started in the consolation bracket week 1 in the playoffs as being "in" the consolation bracket, and eliminated them as they lost games regardless of who they played, ignoring the teams that were added week 2 and 3 from champ bracket and those that started it originally but lost match-ups generated by ESPN.

I think last year we lucked out in generating an easy winner from the consolation bracket because Paul Proteus was the only valid player in it from week 1 who won all his games in the playoffs AND I think ended up with scores that would have beat all the remaining valid players both week 2 and 3- he would have won any sort of normally scheduled consolation bracket.

I'm sorry I didn't remember to bring this up when you guys were setting up this year, it's something that probably should have been solved earlier in the year because you could easily end up with a harder time figuring out a winner.
