In my past experience it's not your first pick that wins you the championship. Sometimes it's the third pick.

Hawaii is up!

Oops, I meant to say week 5 in my last post. Hopefully Barry did bad in week 5. According to my calculations, I got 1228 points in week five as a minimum. Hopefully that will do the trick:)

And it most definitely takes 3 good picks to win. I won last year because 2 of my 3 bots made it to Einstein and one of them was my 3rd pick.

Ed, could you do Boston next?

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

I have Boston right here.

Palmetto score is up!

NYC scores are up!

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

I was gone all yesterday. Let me get done a couple of assignments (about 2 hours) and then I'll be good to help. Is there a list of regionals still not scored, or have all been completed? How can I help?

Its interesting that I am weakening, I put waaay more effort into the last half than the first half because I had more time of Christmas break

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

So far, I have about 5 to go. You up for NYC?

And yes, you are weakening. You missed two top picks that were free agents. (1625 and 39, to be exact.) Three or four people are currently beating you in the Week 5 scoring. Then again, I wouldn't exactly call 690 points with 4 regionals left in Week 5 weak...except that three people have over 900 and another has over 700.

Then again, Week 5 was/is a bloodbath, particularly GTR, which has the most abnormally low scores I've seen yet. Those who survive will do well. Those who don't... Well, we'll see later today when the final standings are released. There have been some changes to draft lists due to missing teams (and Barry wasn't immune). We shall see...

*heads back to the scoring*

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

Please let me be the one with 900 :)

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

Two of the ones with 900+ are in the top 10 and the third looks like he just got lucky.

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

That makes some sense now. For the first couple of weeks I double checked my next regionals to make sure my picks were still at the regional... the last 3 weeks I was at regionals and mostly out of state and didn't have time.

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

After finishing Week 5, it looks like Barry is too far ahead to be caught. THe battle for second pick rages on, though, with three who are close enough to grab it if they have a good day at NYC.

Week 5 standings will not be posted, as there is only one event left. It is enough that three people had over 1000 points. (Barry was the last of those with 1194. I'll let you judge how good the other two are. I think the main reason Barry is in the lead is that those two had bad first-and-second week scores by comparison.)

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

It aint over 'til its over. I just now finished my assignments. talk about taking longer than expected >.<


Eric, what can I do for you?

Re: [FF]: 2008 Seaon Long Fantasy FIRST Discussion
 

At this point, I'm just about done. Though a list of the unpicked teams in randomizer order for Tier 1, NYC would be nice to have--I know I'll need at least one due to a double pick. (And at the rate teams haven't been showing up, more is better.){EDIT} Better make that for each tier...some teams didn't show up.)
