Well, that turned out to be a more dramatic week than I expected. Congrats to andrewt14 and Northside Rovers, they tie for Weekly Cup honors. Play of the Week goes "nowhere". Congrats for not only being an atheletic supporter, but wearing one as well this week. The jLo-Rollers successfully avoided the Easter train wreck. FlashMan and Your Humble Administrator continue their mad dash for the third Division. bilfish's soul takes another beating as he had both hands firmly around the cup and dropped it with a desperate grab at the brass ring. Mikesterw continues to lead the pack but the low-rollers are nipping at his heels. Note to people: for now, try avoiding quoting other peoples scores as the first text in a line. The scorer thinks these represent your picks at the moment. (cough *sljohn*) will fix this shortly. ***Would have gotten this up earlier but I'm somewhere in the desert and my laptop ran out of power on me*** Good luck next week! ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: nowhere, for the bet of 2 on LAG over DCU Weekly Cup: 1 andrewt14 -0.17 1 Northside Rovers -0.17 3 Quango -0.436 4 sljohn -0.64 5 Scribe -0.954 Code: [size=3][b]Division 1[/b][/size] [size=2][b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Risk Reward[/i][/b][/size] 1 1 mikesterw 19.90 -26.85 154 77 2 3 tab5g 19.50 -2.34 44 22 3 6 rebel77fl 10.54 -4.21 54 27 4 5 Deimos 10.14 -8.00 80 40 5 9 IASocFan 10.05 -2.95 36 17.5 6 8 nowhere 9.44 -4.06 47 23.5 7 10 guamster 8.62 -4.11 64 32 8 14 Out_of_Touch 7.57 -1.60 40 20 9 16 equakesfan 7.36 -0.98 24 12 10 12 Crewbasher 6.92 -3.80 61 30.5 11 11 Treetaliano 5.64 -5.50 51 25 12 17 soccernutter 5.08 -1.51 3 0 13 18 Quango 4.45 -0.44 20 10 14 13 Captain Splarg 2.85 -7.84 88 44 15 24 andrewt14 0.72 -0.17 13 6.5 16 23 jlo -0.07 -0.96 31 15.5 17 21 ChangeT -0.25 -1.49 37 18.5 18 25 Northside Rovers -0.53 -0.17 13 6.5 19 15 lurking -0.56 -9.00 90 45 20 22 Jose L.

Congrats to you both... is this further proof that the meek shall inherit the earth? Aslo, congrats to andrewt14 as the biggest mover in the rankings last week (up 9 from 24 to 15).
In the firm belief that sooner or later, someone is going to win one of these games... 31 DC MET 40 SJ NE 150 CHI DAL 85 KC CLB 105 COL LA

And also proof that you don't have to know or pretend to understand how the scoring works to do well.

Diggity dang dang. Every time I make a joke, I pick well. Then I try to recover and, oh, heck. Darn. Shucks. Man, I can't even swear any more. Having a kid has washed it all from my brain. Another bad week, though, and I think I'll get it back. I still say Chicago will break out of their idiotic cocoon at some point. Whether I'll still have any fantasy teams worth playing by then is subject to question. Crap. See? Already getting the words back. 20 DCU MET 10 NER SJE 90 CHI DAL 40 CLB KCW 70 COL LAG
***Update*** In my haste I forgot to welcome furie and burnfan00 to the grandest game in town. Thanks to them I'm two spots closer to div 3. Jose L. Cuoso gets credit for proving the rule that somedays it's better to stay in bed. He missed the first game which almost propelled him to the weekly cup! soccernutter, flux82 and SoftTackle were sorely missed, however they picked the best imaginable week to slack off: they actually gained ground on most of us. Score change: treetaliano, Revolt and IASocFan have had their scores modified slightly. This is because I didn't consider the possibility of abbreviating "Chicago" as "ch". (you'll notice that unlike everyone else, their reward wasn't half their risk). Since "ch" is totally reasonable, I took the two minutes to add it to the code and rerun the program. I've included the slightly modified table. I have a feeling match day #3 is going to be a watershed event. We may see the fence jockeys finally bring out the big guns. Is the end of the brief mikesterw dynasty at hand? ____________________________________________________________ Code: [size=3][b]Division 1[/b][/size] [size=2][b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Risk Reward[/i][/b][/size] 1 1 mikesterw 19.90 -26.85 154 77 2 3 tab5g 19.50 -2.34 44 22 3 6 rebel77fl 10.54 -4.21 54 27 4 5 Deimos 10.14 -8.00 80 40 5 8 nowhere 9.44 -4.06 47 23.5 6 10 guamster 8.62 -4.11 64 32 7 14 Out_of_Touch 7.57 -1.60 40 20 8 16 equakesfan 7.36 -0.98 24 12 9 9 IASocFan 7.35 -5.65 75 37.5 10 12 Crewbasher 6.92 -3.80 61 30.5 11 11 Treetaliano 6.13 -5.01 52 26 12 17 soccernutter 5.08 -1.51 3 0 13 18 Quango 4.45 -0.44 20 10 14 13 Captain Splarg 2.85 -7.84 88 44 15 24 andrewt14 0.72 -0.17 13 6.5 16 23 jlo -0.07 -0.96 31 15.5 17 21 ChangeT -0.25 -1.49 37 18.5 18 25 Northside Rovers -0.53 -0.17 13 6.5 19 15 lurking -0.56 -9.00 90 45 20 22 Jose L.
