Round 1 League Stats, 2019 Topic

You better leave WIS then because they use that “secret formula” to randomize division alignments in most of their leagues.

Take off the tinfoil cap.

Can I still advocate my position that I am the crappiest owner in the tournament?
please advise.

That's not politically correct.

We prefer the term "WIS-challenged"

I enjoy a tough division more than an easy division. Surprised nobody else is saying that.

I’ll say it, as it’s exactly how I feel too.

I'm in a lot of tough divisions so I better learn to enjoy it.

Agree that this is rigged. Hurst47 is in NONE of my leagues.

I will add one thing because I think it's relevant. Often, those who graciously volunteer to be commissioners of leagues are the highest ranked owners. Obviously, if 6 high ranking owners are commissioners of a theme, they cannot be paired together in those leagues. With that, the more lower ranking owners that volunteer to be commissioner for a theme, the higher the chance of higher ranking owners in the same league.

I've commished the last three years and I'm hardly a high-ranking owner.

Wow, take one night off and I miss all the action. Marvin, time will tell if you are the crappiest; many (including myself) spent years trying to maintain that title. Somehow as you lose a ton of games and pay attention to the team write-ups, something called "learning" happens. I used to always try to squeeze Jays and Expos on my teams due to me being a proud Canadian. This year I have decided to forego that policy. I don't want to poke the proverbial bear either but I will say this: I understand and sympathize with anyone feeling wronged under the WISC format. Nobody wants anything other than fun and a good challenge. I see how hard it is and the effort needed to formulate rankings and attempt to keep things as fair for everyone while understanding that the best owners have earned the right to be seeded as such that the lower ranked teams need to find a way to upset them to advance. I personally want to beat the best to be the best. I also pay out of my pocket, but I look at it more as training over wasting money. I know that some of the best owners ever play here and I someday want to earn the respect that comes from making the cage. Nothing in life is perfect, but in no way is it fair to question the integrity of the members who work so hard to put this together. Bad beats happen, but there is no intentionality behind any perceived wrongdoing. I hope we can all just enjoy the competition, improve through our victories and defeats, and see if we can't upset some of the top dogs!

I like to think that this tournament is a lot like the Main Event at the World Series of Poker. The best in the world are sitting at the same table as your average recreational player. Round 2 is sort of like making the Final Table. Most of the top ranked guys will get there, but maybe one or two lower ranked players will sneak in.

HURST ...do you have shares in KLEENEX? SERIOUSLY !!! wow... Are you a professional complainer? you could be a pro at it...As someone who doesn't believe a SECOND ROUND exists...i have heard rumours that there is one, but to date, I have not seen any proof. I understand how RANDOM works and how my ranking hurts my strength of schedule. HURST I learned a long time ago, if you don't like your RANKING, or if you hate Losing, GET BETTER! It's a fun tournament and no one...or maybe they did, Blackmailed, extorted or threatened bodily harm to you if you didn't sign up. Time to click the SHUTDOWN icon on your computer and give Crochet it's fair chance.
