Standings: doctorcc is en fuego, solidly in second and soaring towards first. Back to back 162s going 99-63 will do that.

Yeah, pretty nice run lately. Nothing like your incredible 111-win session, though

Looking ahead to the R2 schedule ... open to feedback.

It looks like playoffs should wrap up around Aug. 31. We need a couple days to get all the confirmations in after that and fill any vacated spots. The draft will run off the clock whenever people get rolling on it. And one roster theoretically could have been done ages ago.

I'm thinking of deadlines of Sept. 28 for first 3 teams and Oct. 12 for all 6 teams. Normally, I'd consider Sept. 21 for a first deadline but that's Yom Kippur and I'll be offline. For anyone who hasn't started working on these themes and won't until clinching a spot, the extra time might be warranted. They aren't easy builds, and I've been tinkering here and there for a couple weeks already.

Any thoughts?

I'm good with those deadlines if we can get the drafts on time.... sometimes it's longer than expected

But my opinion might not matter, I'm still around 7 games back of the cage

They're OK.
Personally, I'm in favor of moving the deadlines, especially the second one, up a week or so. But if majority wants more time then that works.

Drafts usually move fairly quickly, especially division drafts. I think we did ours in 2 days last year. That should be one of the first 3 teams for everyone. Plus the 80M could already be totally done for most people, if they built it alongside the Round 1 theme.

I can't see giving only a week between the two deadlines, though.

In cycle 149, redcped went 4-2, while all of the other owners in the top 11 in standings went exactly 3-3. What a mediocre Tuesday afternoon.

I’ve got ground to make up. This recent stretch has been bad!

Can someone remind me what the scoring rules are for playoffs/playoff wins, etc?

Points will be awarded based on wins and playoff success. Points are awarded this way:

Regular season wins = 1 point each
Make playoffs = 2 additional points
Playoff wins = 1 point each
Wins Wildcard round = 2 additional points
Wins LCS = 2 additional points
Wins World Series = 5 additional points


* The top 24 owners in cumulative points from Round 1 (regardless of which leagues they were in) will advance to round 2. In Round 2, there will be another 6 themes (different from the first six themes). The same points formula will be used in round 2. Round 1 results will not be completely ignored in the final score. The weighting will be 33% for Round 1 and 67% for Round 2.... In other words, the cumulative Round 1 score will be divided by 2 and added to the Round 2 score to determine the Best Owner in WIS.

* Who is in which league will be determined as follows:

* In the event that one or more of the top 24 owners from Round 1 decide not to enter round 2, then the next best owners(s) from Round 1 will advance. In case of ties, the tie-breakers will be (1) regular season points (2) playoff points (3) best single team overall point total (4) second best single team overall point total, etc. If the tie still has not been resolved there will be a coin flip on random.org.

LOL you give me way to much credit red!

I just took a lot of players with quite a few seasons across the salary spectrum and figured it would work out. Hope I'm not wrong!! Assuming I hold on to a spot in round 2 that is.

Will someone be able to do playoff scoring updates? I'm pretty sure schwarze was doing those like once a day manually.

It's a manual process. You can create the playoff links for each league and save them in the spreadsheet (which will make things easier in the long run). Then enter each playoff team. It's a lot of up-front work to get it setup.

Then after each session or maybe once per day, enter the wins for each playoff team. Formulas can be used to calculate bonus points and teams left.

I believe the original spreadsheet from last year (that I sent to Qhadow123) has the playoff tabs hidden. You can use that format as a starting point. Let me know if I need to re-send that to somebody else.
