Is roulette the same as regular in that you can't re-pick kickers? And does that include ones you picked while you were alive?

Yup. Same rules as the regular game apply - can't use same kicker, kicker must get through the week successfully. The only exception is that an eliminated player can continue playing roulette even if they lose their bet for that week.

When coming up with it, my original idea was you had to roll with the kicker that eliminated you every week, but I thought that was just a little too evil considering the probability of not only having your kicker make it through the week, but also correctly predicting the length of one of their field goals.

Oops! I hosed up the spreadsheet once and thought I undo'd far back enough to fix everything I did wrong, but evidently I missed one.

That explains the one blank line I had in the list, but I thought that was just a buffer zone I had originally added when making the spreadsheet.

I'm excited to see how roulette turns out this season. I feel like maybe it's a little too difficult to hit, but at the same time I needed to have some kind of gimmick that was at least proportionate to how difficult it is to have picked successful kickers through the season.

Best of luck to everyone spinning the wheel for its inaugural run!

I think it's a pretty good device. Hitting on the roulette is extremely unlikely (which is appropriate, it's a roulette after all) but if enough people play we'll still end up with a few makes.

The 00 really is not only the chosen kicker making the kick at the specified yards, it's making the rest of his kicks on top. I can see someone getting boned by that if it turns out people occasionally manage to guess right on the distance. (probably me).

That was the bit I rewrote at least a handful of times. I wasn't sure if that pushed it over the edge of near impossibility or not. In any case, trial run this season, we can adjust for next season or even mid-season as needed!

Yeah, see how it goes this season. If it turns out a lot of people are guessing right but losing on the make all kicks clause, that's probably good. If nobody guesses anything right, the clause probably isn't necessary. It's a fun addition to keep people playing though!
