Quick reminder! Our league will be combining this week and next week as one single match-up. So don't feel like you must be in the lead come Wed/Thurs this week, since there will be another half-week of games to be played after the ASG.

So just a quick FYI to explain how our two-week match will work within Fleaflicker: - There's no setting available for the system to automatically combine weeks together, so it's all manual AND it's all after the fact; - Week 17s scores need to be kept in mind when battling it out this week, since the app will show it as a new match starting at 0-0, which is inaccurate for our purposes; - Fleaflicker allows for editing of Past Week Scores, not on-going ones, so I can't bring Week 17s numbers into Week 18 until next Monday; - So, to ensure everyone's on the same page, my next post will state:

Opponents Next Week for Playoff Qualifiers 1 of 2 Seeds 1 through 4 will be paired off in an arrangement that prioritizes fresh matches (i.e. Chronicles and Rick won't meet during these Qualifiers, since they played in M#17). Results during Qualifiers may affect the Seeding of the Top 4 heading into the Quarter-Finals. Direct Qualifiers (2) Winners of these matches clinch a Quarter-Final berth. Losers get one final opportunity the following week. QM1: Seed #5 vs Seed #8 QM2: Seed #6 vs Seed #7 Survival Qualifiers (2) Winners of these matches remain alive for a Quarter-Final berth. Losers begin their Consolation Tournament the following week. QM3: Seed #9 vs Seed #12 QM4: Seed #10 vs Seed #11 Opponents in Two Weeks for Playoff Qualifiers 2 of 2 Seeds 1 through 4 will be paired off in an arrangement that prioritizes fresh matches (i.e. Chronicles and Rick won't meet during these Qualifiers, since they played in M#17). Results during Qualifiers may affect the Seeding of the Top 4 heading into the Quarter-Finals. The Winners from QM1 and QM2 will meet to determine the 5th and 6th Seeds for the Quarter-Finals. Direct Qualifiers (2) Winners of these matches clinch a Quarter-Final berth. Losers join the Consolation Tournament the following week. The exact pairings will be determined by regular season Seeds. QM5: QM1 or QM2 Loser vs QM3 or QM4 Winner QM6: QM1 or QM2 Loser vs QM3 or QM4 Winner Consolation Tournament The losing teams from QM3 and QM4 will face off.

Friendly reminder that the Draft for next year will be determined as follows: - Reverse order of Regular Season standings as the initial order, expect the 2nd Round draft order will be subject to a lottery - 1st Round is the option to select a Keeper, so it's its own thing; - 2nd Round is the first true drafting round and may see a shuffle in the order via a lottery; - Teams that continue to set their line-up during the Consolation Tournament and perform well (i.e. finish higher up) will receive some extra ping-pong balls, and have moderately/slightly improved odds of moving up; - This concept was designed to give an incentive for teams that are eliminated before the semis to keep playing the final 3-5 weeks of the season, since it could yield a boon for the start of next year.

I think the idea when proposed was to reward the risk of taking a rookie. I am open to changing it if people feel this way but like I did say ahead of time when we put this rule in that this could happen and everyone had a chance to pick Wemby and decided not to.

Chronicles posted:Yeah that’s simple risk/reward. If you wanted them you should have drafted them sure. i guess i just didn't process the possibility of keeping someone for a lower pick than you took them with, which runs counter to the usual Laws of Keepers. but we do a lot of heterodox fantasy laws in this league, no gods no masters

Personally, the thing I like about fantasy bball is the drafting and trying to pull together a new random team each year - multiple keepers doesn’t seem as much fun to me. But I’m open to anything. Not sure how much locking in a generational talent as a rookie keeper could unbalance the league.

Maybe allow the rookie to be kept but the draft pick would be dependent on production to some extent? IIRC the 6th and 9th round keeper values were determined by Rick reviewing recent fantasy performances by round and pairing things up fairly. But since rookie classes can fluctuate hugely in quality & opportunities to succeed as a rookie and sophomore, perhaps the cost for keeping the rook could factor that in? Wemby is obv an extreme outlier, but I could see merit in keeping it flexible. Last year Rick determined a Round 6 keeper needed to average below 48 fantasy ppg. I assume that value will be recalculated year to year? If that definition is variable then I can see it as a reason to include some conditions in calculating which pick keeps a rookie. Rick, what's our trade deadline btw? This Sunday?

I'd love to take credit but rivetz is the one who did the math, I just followed his suggestions. I would be curious where those numbers end up again but also am not smart enough to figure out how to figure that out. Figuring that stuff out and declaring the draft pick from there might be a good idea. Or we could get rid of it all together; I do think this wemby thing is an outlier, I mean just look at the season before to see how drafting rookies usually works out. I'm totally cool with next week being the trade deadline. I don't envision any more big trades this season but who knows. Rick fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Feb 23, 2024 |

By day's end we'll have our 3 groups for the Seeding & Qualifier match-ups. 10 teams are locked into their group already, with dutchy and DeimosRising battling for 4th place (i.e. a guaranteed berth in the playoffs). Here's the current situation: Dutchy is trailing kalensc by 320~ points Dutchy is currently below the median score for the two weeks combined Deimos is leading rivetz by 50~ points Deimos is currently above the median score for the two weeks combined If all 4 of those bear out, Deimos (Ho! Jim Boy) will eke past Dutchy (EricCart2k) to clinch the 4th place finish in the regular season. If any of those 4 should flip, then they'd be at best (for Deimos) tied on W-L, and dutchy will win the tie-breaker via Points For rank (1500pt lead for dutchy after 16 weeks).

For posterity, the original scores from what Fleaflicker considered Week 17 and Week 18:    All scores were summed and then input into the Week 17 box scores. Week 18 now shows as an off-week. Week 19 starts today, with 2 match-ups between top-4 teams battling for playoff seeding, 2 match-ups between mid-4 teams hoping to clinch a playoff berth, and 2 match-ups between the bot-4 teams that must win this week to stay alive for the playoffs. Week 19's schedule is now live on Fleaflicker. Good luck to everyone! And remember, all GMs will have matches through the start of April, no matter which Placement finish you're vying for. kalensc fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Feb 28, 2024 |

Eliminator Qualifiers #9 - im the gm who sucks. plus i got depression, Ghost Dog (shorthand ITG) versus #12 - Eagle Doom Dunkers, The Ninth Layer (shorthand EDD) pre:Stats ITG EDD ------- ------- ------- RecOver 11-23 06-28 H2H W-L 07-10 04-13 Vs Med. 04-13 02-15 AvgPtsF 1740.60 1578.17 AvgPtsA 1825.51 1813.49 H2H-W11 1851.68 1224.39 Injury? Dude... Healthy * - a tremendous synergy between team name/theme and final round selection, Pistol Nice Pete would approve The Ninth Layer has an elite top 5: Trae Young, Kawhi Leonard, Damien Lillard, Tyrese Maxey, and Jimmy Butler. Combined they average over 300 fppg, a number which I reckon leads our entire league in terms of pure Top 5 Guys. Unfortunately, inconsistency in setting line-ups resulted in a lot of losses, but if a squad was ever going to go from #12 to the Final Four, this would be the team. #10 - Wet rear end Stussy, The Maestro (shorthand WAS) versus #11 - Jesus H. Crossover, Red Rox (shorthand JHC) pre:Stats WAS JHC ------- ------- ------- RecOver 10-24 09-25 H2H W-L 05-12 04-13 Vs Med. 05-12 05-12 AvgPtsF 1811.09 1641.41 AvgPtsA 1881.39 1824.59 H2H-W05 1873.30 1974.47 Injury? A lil'? Alas... The Maestro kept Anthony Edwards, who has been solid, added Utah's wayward sons in Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, and drafted Paul George in the hopes he'd be healthy. And he mostly has! Unfortunately, Zach LaVine and Bradley Beal, picked in the 4th and 6th rounds respectively, have experienced, um, turbulent seasons. There was a steep swoon between Weeks 3 and 10 inclusive, with the team going 0-16 overall. Then some bad luck, with consecutive weeks where The Maestro orchestrated a Win vs The Median but faced an opponent that composed an even higher score. With 3 H2H wins the past 4 weeks and multiple top-4 scores, the squad with absolutely no affiliation to Cardi B is getting hot at the right time. Red Rox kept Doncic (#1 in fppg) and also kept Scottie Barnes (renowned bowling champion (quip likely baffling to non-Canadians)), then added LaMelo Ball, Bam Adebayo, and Evan Mobley. The Holy Father of Jesus H Crossover beheld their creation after five weeks, sitting tied atop of the leaderboards with a 9-1 overall record, flirting with a weekly average score around the 2000 mark, and with their sole loss occurring when their 3rd-best score of the week faced off with Chronicles' 1st-place score; Undead 1, EnHoly 0. Alas, after roughly 33 days of our fantasy season Jesus ascended to the heavens, and Red Rox began losing key players at a rate I'll deem "Covidian". A most excellent t-shirt avatar and optimistic start to the season were sadly forsaken by God Shammgod, leading to a 0-24 run to finish the regular season. --------------- (lol so much for a short summary, bravo me) kalensc fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Feb 28, 2024 |

That's a legit bummer, and it's why the real life sports and fantasy sports leagues that I schedule give every team a small, but legitimate, path to 'the playoffs' as late in the season as possible. That way IRL Actual Important Stuff and NBA Injury Misfortune which impact a fantasy campaign aren't necessarily season-enders.
