After all the fireworks, and all the games, not much changed except for a small handful of players making monster moves. One is jlo vaulting into serious contention with his Weekly Cup-winning performance. Not too surprising given that he got no games wrong out of 12. He's up 3 spots to #3. Second goes to firefan2001 who said this week would make or break him. Well, he's not looking very broken, though he fell 2.5 points short of Div 1. He nabs Play of the Week instead. Third qoes to the frontrunner Qdog who opens up a little ground on the pack. He even takes over the lead in Rate of Return and is closing in on total points won. 4th is AMERICANS SC who continues his tremendous breakout season. The Flashman comeback tour continues with another top 5 result. *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: firefan2001, for the bet of 156 on HOU over NYR Weekly Cup: 1 jlo 273.3477 2 firefan2001 250.6254 3 Qdog 226.9207 4 AMERICANS SC 125.1261 5 FlashMan 100.5154 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 Qdog 790.88 226.92 1025 918.25 2 2 IASocFan 573.09 21.87 1336 966.25 3 6 jlo 527.82 273.35 854 806 4 4 AMERICANS SC 526.21 125.13 636 509 5 3 tab5g 414.69 -46.26 90 0 6 5 BenC1357 323.28 35.85 740 534.25 7 7 dredgfan 300.37 89.34 760 560.5 8 8 NoSix 289.57 88.33 1114 868.25 9 9 Greywacke 187.23 -6.52 827 545 10 10 dred 155.08 -0.77 1296 913.5 11 11 Quango -78.07 17.08 1180 838 12 12 Shaydee -207.20 42.17 794 549.25 13 13 Crewbasher -208.55 81.93 885 649 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 14 15 firefan2001 -211.09 250.63 1866 1630.25 15 14 PCrsl -302.01 91.04 1072 840.5 16 18 FlashMan -466.45 100.52 1192 941.5 17 16 petezuke17 -486.13 18.41 1097 767.5 18 19 alf -709.55 -66.73 697 380.25 19 20 Saeyddthe -801.85 -151.76 1202 660.5 20 17 BulaJacket -829.68 -301.40 530 0 21 23 CubanApex -1,313.45 -472.42 786 0 22 21 themrs. -1,362.43 -639.04 1014 0 23 22 matzek73 -1,410.74 -579.18 934 0 24 24 DamonEsquire -1,435.90 -337.93 1318 614.25 25 25 patfan1 -2,063.65 -530.57 867 0 26 26 burnfan00 -2,432.90 -681.29 1069 0 [b]Division 3[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 27 27 revolutionfan -2,669.66 -694.42 1086 0 28 28 Jc1231 -2,673.47 -673.54 1059 0 29 29 rpi-fan -2,762.80 -700.71 1094 0 30 30 Novaflow10 -2,771.80 -703.78 1098 0 31 31 soccertom -2,851.80 -703.78 1098 0 [b]Rate of Return:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Percent[/i][/b] 1 Qdog 77.69% 2 AMERICANS SC 77.24% 3 IASocFan 76.07% 4 jlo 73.80% 5 tab5g 73.63% 6 NoSix 72.55% 7 BenC1357 72.40% 8 dredgfan 71.72% 9 firefan2001 71.35% 10 dred 70.41% 11 Greywacke 70.16% 12 Quango 67.77% 13 PCrsl 65.74% 14 Crewbasher 64.43% 15 Shaydee 63.55% 16 FlashMan 63.00% 17 petezuke17 61.25% 18 Saeyddthe 59.06% 19 alf 56.79% 20 DamonEsquire 54.00% 21 BulaJacket 52.27% 22 CubanApex 43.10% 23 matzek73 34.48% 24 themrs. 32.31% 25 patfan1 21.93% 26 burnfan00 9.07% 27 Jc1231 7.30% 28 revolutionfan 4.59% 29 rpi-fan 1.87% 30 Novaflow10 1.68% 31 soccertom 0.00% [b]Points:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Won Bet[/i][/b] 1 IASocFan 7389 9714 2 Qdog 7104.25 9144 3 NoSix 6627.75 9136 4 firefan2001 6607.75 9261 5 dred 6200 8805 6 AMERICANS SC 6051.25 7834 7 Quango 5952.5 8783 8 tab5g 5862 7961 9 jlo 5857.25 7937 10 BenC1357 5704.75 7879 11 PCrsl 5580 8488 12 Saeyddthe 5207.5 8818 13 FlashMan 5204.25 8261 14 Greywacke 5150 7340 15 Crewbasher 5142.5 7981 16 dredgfan 5076 7078 17 DamonEsquire 5001.5 9262 18 petezuke17 4835 7894 19 Shaydee 4727.75 7440 20 alf 3928.5 6917 21 BulaJacket 3232.25 6184 22 CubanApex 2552.25 5922 23 matzek73 1772.5 5140 24 themrs. 1565.75 4846 25 patfan1 1129.25 5149 26 burnfan00 432.75 4770 27 Jc1231 361.25 4950 28 revolutionfan 220.25 4797 29 rpi-fan 89 4753 30 Novaflow10 80 4753 31 soccertom 0 4753 ____________________________________________________________ Next weeks action: <amount home away> 98 CHI HOU 99 DCU DAL 100 NYR NER 101 KCW RSL 102 CVS CLB 103 HOU TOR
145 HOU CHI 148 DCU DAL 147 NYR NER 192 KCW RSL 146 CVS CLB 149 HOU TOR also, and as I am a trouble maker, it doesn't look like my week #14 picks were tabulated. I had placed them a week early in the week #13 thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=11970224#post11970224 (although, i doubt if an update will help my score, and perhaps I should have remained silent on this issue.)
Minor adjustment to include tab5g's picks posted in the week #13 thread. Some good news: anyone can now post picks for someone else. Just put a the line proxy: name before your picks. (See next post for example.) So now if you have to submit picks early, I can post them for you later. *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: firefan2001, for the bet of 156 on HOU over NYR Weekly Cup: 1 jlo 273.3477 2 firefan2001 250.6254 3 Qdog 226.9207 4 AMERICANS SC 125.1261 5 FlashMan 100.5154 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 Qdog 790.88 226.92 1025 918.25 2 2 IASocFan 573.09 21.87 1336 966.25 3 6 jlo 527.82 273.35 854 806 4 4 AMERICANS SC 526.21 125.13 636 509 5 3 tab5g 500.03 39.08 744 508.25 6 5 BenC1357 323.28 35.85 740 534.25 7 7 dredgfan 300.37 89.34 760 560.5 8 8 NoSix 289.57 88.33 1114 868.25 9 9 Greywacke 187.23 -6.52 827 545 10 10 dred 155.08 -0.77 1296 913.5 11 11 Quango -78.07 17.08 1180 838 12 12 Shaydee -207.20 42.17 794 549.25 13 13 Crewbasher -208.55 81.93 885 649 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 14 15 firefan2001 -211.09 250.63 1866 1630.25 15 14 PCrsl -302.01 91.04 1072 840.5 16 18 FlashMan -466.45 100.52 1192 941.5 17 16 petezuke17 -486.13 18.41 1097 767.5 18 19 alf -709.55 -66.73 697 380.25 19 20 Saeyddthe -801.85 -151.76 1202 660.5 20 17 BulaJacket -829.68 -301.40 530 0 21 23 CubanApex -1,313.45 -472.42 786 0 22 21 themrs. -1,362.43 -639.04 1014 0 23 22 matzek73 -1,410.74 -579.18 934 0 24 24 DamonEsquire -1,435.90 -337.93 1318 614.25 25 25 patfan1 -2,063.65 -530.57 867 0 26 26 burnfan00 -2,432.90 -681.29 1069 0 [b]Division 3[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 27 27 revolutionfan -2,669.66 -694.42 1086 0 28 28 Jc1231 -2,673.47 -673.54 1059 0 29 29 rpi-fan -2,762.80 -700.71 1094 0 30 30 Novaflow10 -2,771.80 -703.78 1098 0 31 31 soccertom -2,851.80 -703.78 1098 0 [b]Rate of Return:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Percent[/i][/b] 1 Qdog 77.69% 2 AMERICANS SC 77.24% 3 IASocFan 76.07% 4 tab5g 73.94% 5 jlo 73.80% 6 NoSix 72.55% 7 BenC1357 72.40% 8 dredgfan 71.72% 9 firefan2001 71.35% 10 dred 70.41% 11 Greywacke 70.16% 12 Quango 67.77% 13 PCrsl 65.74% 14 Crewbasher 64.43% 15 Shaydee 63.55% 16 FlashMan 63.00% 17 petezuke17 61.25% 18 Saeyddthe 59.06% 19 alf 56.79% 20 DamonEsquire 54.00% 21 BulaJacket 52.27% 22 CubanApex 43.10% 23 matzek73 34.48% 24 themrs. 32.31% 25 patfan1 21.93% 26 burnfan00 9.07% 27 Jc1231 7.30% 28 revolutionfan 4.59% 29 rpi-fan 1.87% 30 Novaflow10 1.68% 31 soccertom 0.00% [b]Points:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Won Bet[/i][/b] 1 IASocFan 7389 9714 2 Qdog 7104.25 9144 3 NoSix 6627.75 9136 4 firefan2001 6607.75 9261 5 tab5g 6370.25 8615 6 dred 6200 8805 7 AMERICANS SC 6051.25 7834 8 Quango 5952.5 8783 9 jlo 5857.25 7937 10 BenC1357 5704.75 7879 11 PCrsl 5580 8488 12 Saeyddthe 5207.5 8818 13 FlashMan 5204.25 8261 14 Greywacke 5150 7340 15 Crewbasher 5142.5 7981 16 dredgfan 5076 7078 17 DamonEsquire 5001.5 9262 18 petezuke17 4835 7894 19 Shaydee 4727.75 7440 20 alf 3928.5 6917 21 BulaJacket 3232.25 6184 22 CubanApex 2552.25 5922 23 matzek73 1772.5 5140 24 themrs. 1565.75 4846 25 patfan1 1129.25 5149 26 burnfan00 432.75 4770 27 Jc1231 361.25 4950 28 revolutionfan 220.25 4797 29 rpi-fan 89 4753 30 Novaflow10 80 4753 31 soccertom 0 4753 ____________________________________________________________

Great, now watch Chicago put up five against the Dynamo. Thanks for jinxing it. Oh well. On to the Inverse Karma Award. The top division was pretty stagnant, as jlo's big move was the only change in the standings. Much more activity in the 2nd division, mainly by passing the remaining non-participating players. Our winner this week is Saeyddthe, who notches his second IKA win this year by jumping over the no-shows with a score of 151.76. Congrats.

I'm on vacation, but wouldn't dream of using that as an excuse. I can't believe I won the Cup. Seems like it's been years. 52 HOU CHI
