Runner-Up: JG
*started 2 days late
**started 10 days late

No. That's the one that Bad Daddy was commish and we played "off line".

Boy, I'm getting all misty eyed remembering all the friends that were here and left.

All the work I put into this and no one gives a crap?

I'm a no one?

Sorry, I meant no one else. Of course you care. The only one, apparently. *sniff* But better your pom-poms than the bats & balls I guess...

I care.

I really didn't see this until now. Though I'm not involved in the fantasy games besides BBC, it's nice to see what kind of reputations the gamers around here have - you did a great job, and this must've been a lot of work.

Would you mind slipping me into the HOF? Or do I actually have to win something, first?

I always thought pom poms and bats and balls went well together.

Did everyone take their drug tests before being accepted into this HOF? :rolleyes:

Plaw and JG are on steroids, I think.

Since I'm listed apparently winning something isn't a qualifying factor.

Great! I'm in!

I think beings "Imasoldier" never identified themself he should be disqualified and I should be given the title of 2004 Pick-n-roll winner.

I care. A lot more than everyone else seems to care about the baseball stats I post every week.

Actually, I was thinking of doing the same thing myself, but you beat me to it.

Now we need a way of assigning different values to the more important games vs. those of lesser importance.

I'd suggest:

Tier One: Baseball, Football, Basketball
Tier Two: Other season-long games (Gridiron Challenge, Diamond Daily Overall Points & the Pick 'Em games)
Tier Three: Other games (Golf, Bass Fishing, Horse racing, Diamond Daily monthly winners, etc.), except
Tier Four: "One Day" games, like the NBA and NFL Draft games

Perhaps also some points for runners-up, as well...

Yeah, like a 3-2-1 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd -- at least in the games where there were enough participants that finishing third actually meant something.

Then there's the problem of "split season" games like basketball and basbeall.

Winning each segment is worth something, but so is overall points.

If someone wins one or both segments and overall points we'd essentially be giving them credit twice.

On the other hand, in basbeball this year we have the very real possibility that the overall points winner will not have one either segment.

Well I cared until I realised I haven't won anything yet.

You've got to list the 2005 games ASAP. Especially the NFL draft game. I finished 3rd in that.

You're handicapped Turi, because you don't follow baseball or basketball.

Only because they're rubbish.

Great list JG!

Ahem... I won this one. I don't know who finished in 2nd.

Yeah, but Overall Standings were never posted, what you see in that last post is standings for the last tourny, and even those are unofficial. And, we only played a few rounds, not a full season... Partagas won the tourny before you. I guess I'll try to compile it and choose a winner...

Sorry JG - I was just looking at my Uber results page showing me in 1st place. I think how it worked out last year was that it was 4 separate games (the majors only I think). I won 2 of them I think. Partagas won one. MC won one also.

Okay, according to that thread, we played 4 games, but only have final results for 3 of them, but I guess that's not needed.

The results were as such:

1) Masters (April 11 2004)

PG 249
SC 255
JG 257
FS 257
DB 259
MC 259

2) US Open (June 21, 2004)

DB 251
JG 253
MC 253
PG 260
FS 263
SC 272

3) British Open (July 18, 2004)

After 3 rounds:
MC 186
SC 188
JG 190
DB 196

4) PGA Championship (August 19, 2004)

DB 251
JG 252
MC 254


DB won 2 games, PG 1, MC 1. I'll consider PG & MC as co-runners-up I suppose.

Thanks.

Kudos on all the hard work. It must have been a slow day at the office.

However, please recheck last year's games. There was an NFL Eliminator, like this year's. Everyone was out after week two, except yours truly. APOLOGY, SENATOR, THIS COMMITTEE OWES AN APOLOGY!

JG, I think you beat BDD in the Championship game. Just a guess, but if I recall correctly, Buffy and Plaw didn't make the playoffs. Bethie and I were trading the #1 and #2 seeds in the end (Bethie ended up #1, I think), but we both lost in the first round of the playoffs. By process of elimination, that leaves BDD as your final opponent.

Bethie?

Okay, thanks! You're right - you won the ESPN one, and Buffy won the Yahoo one. Not sure how since technically the same picks would be made in each game, but, perhaps some people didn't play both games.

This year, only the Yahoo game will count, not the ESPN one (due to age restrictions), so be sure to play the Yahoo version this year!

Is this the football you are thinking of that we played 2 years ago DB? I do remember winning the "regular season". (Which is all that really matters) I believe I was upset by that cross dressing porkchop in the first round.

I think only those w/ months of daily games should be Tier 1. Football just doesn't have enough games played to compare with baseball & basketball.

Yep, that's the one. We both remember correctly then.

Okay, thanks guys!

You can't penalize football just because it's played only once a week. For many, it is THE fantasy game to play. For overall cultural significance (yes, I'm still talking about fantasy sports ), I would place the Yahoo football in the highest tier. I would even place the March Madness bracket tournament up there as well.
