My mind is made up. He aint coming back next year.
I'm tired of his act. And there's a few other members who are making my naughty list as well.
You guys better straighten up!

man it feels good to be done with drafting until next November. I'm sure Ed, Eric, Kevin, and Alex would agree. Thanks all for running the drafts! Best of luck.

I'm curious, how many other players had perfect attendance in the drafts? I know I sent in picks for all drafts, I'm going to say roughly 4 drafts I either rushed my list, or made lists with incomplete information.

Also, make your prediction on the outcome of the season, here's mine

1. Alex
2. Kevin
3. Barry
4. Bethany
5. Sunger

I missed Hawaii. I even had a list made well in advance, I just didn't send it in for some reason :o

From watching the drafts I would guess there are very few players that showed up for every draft.

Your predicted order of finish seems pretty good. There are definitely a couple other players that have some decent picks and may end up in the top 5 or even the Elgin Clock.

Also, there's still MI State Champs and Champs left to draft so we're not done quite yet.

I only missed one draft. There were a few other ones where I didn't send in lists because I wasn't familiar with the teams and just really didn't care who I ended up with. Last year I actually went through and found who had won awards/the most awards to decide who I drafted, but this year my lists consisted of teams I knew would do well and let luck and the randomizer determine the rest for me. We'll see how this strategy pans out for me down the line.

I had at least a list in for every draft. Sorry, no predictions from me, but I do have the full list ready to go. It is located at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2317

All players would be well-advised to check their teams for all the drafts to make sure there are no issues with the sheet.

My best laid plans were to make a list for every draft based on past history and research, but time and other commitments got to me over break. I was in about 3/4s of drafts, the rest because I didn't know any teams, business, or carelessness. I'll do better next year!

I decided to have some fun with a few statistics over the history of Season Long. Specifically, the drop/boot rate.

2008: 65 participants, no boots, one or two drops (and a late add). Active participants: maybe about 20-30. Hence the miss 5 and out rules.

2009: 42 participants, 2 withdrawals, 12 boots. 33% of the league didn't finish. Of the 12 boots, fully 75% disappeared after the first 5 drafts.

2010: 31 participants, 3 withdrawals, 6 boots. 29% non-finishers. Of the boots, 67% or 2/3 were gone after the first 5 drafts.

So, we've been losing fewer people, but playing with fewer.

Of particular note is that it looks like the vast majority of boots happen after the first 5 drafts. Withdrawals (voluntary boots) typically happen after 1-2 drafts.

Just some food for thought.

Usually it's people who have never played before and are the kind of people who don't read the manual and thus don't read my first post saying if you're not going to participate don't join and they hit reply and are never heard from again. I could care less if I have only ten dedicated players over a hundred who show up every once in a while. I want people who want to participate because they enjoy playing the game and getting some sort of challange from playing it not people who are either looking for something to pass the time like some Facebook app that they can play with every once in a while or something to fit in with the veterans.

The new seeding system certainly turns things upside down not only for FRC but for us as well since they are not using W-L-T anymore (this better be a one year thing). Should we go by whatever points the team accumulates during the regional and add that to their score?

we could do that, or just give more points based on what seed the team ends up. The final result is that both points are tracking the same thing.

I think you mixed up my teams for the person above me in Florida. I should have 118, 1523 and 2757.



I made all my lists before the first draft. I only ranked teams by my memory of them, so I'm sure they are not perfect and I probably missed some good teams. I think I missed two drafts because I just missed making the list for those regionals. Twice my lists were not used, resulting in me not getting 71 or any teams from Midwest, for which I had a very deep list for. Anyway, it should be exciting to see how it turns out.

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
I've updated the sheet to reflect the stuff I've been informed about as well as the rerun of Northstar 1.

As for the new seeding, it should be possible, though more difficult, to get W-L-T scores. After all, you have to win or tie to get the Coopertition bonus, and in the eliminations you have to win. It shouldn't be too hard (hypothetically) to go through and get W-L-T from the FIRST website or TBA.

I think, though, that if we do go the points scored route, it should be the average, rounded down (or up) to the nearest whole number.

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
There have been a bunch of issues and trades cropping up, so I've put out an updated team list. Same place: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2317

If you have a team that is in bold, there is an issue--either they aren't attending, or somebody got them first. If there is a missing/double-picked team when an event is scored, whoever has that team gets the first random team available. If you're lucky, they get a decent score. If you aren't, they got a negative score.

A word of advice for those looking at this, it might help to change the font. Times New Roman worked well for me. At least for me, it is hard to catch bold with Calibri font. Thanks for going through this all Eric.

EricH 06-02-2010 03:50

Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 
I've changed the font; it'll be reflected in the next update, which should be right after ship.

Meanwhile, I've been going through Week 1 events looking for missing teams, and there are a lot. (Note: in most cases, not checked against actual picks. If you have a different team that has already replaced the missing one, remind me about it.)

So, here's the list I have so far. If you're on it, it is your job to fix the teams listed by the Week 1 trade deadline. Once that deadline passes, I get the "fun" of going through the random list and figuring out what team you get instead, if you don't do it for me.

Format: Player; Event1, Team1; Event2, Team2; ... EventX, TeamX

Sunbun; D.C., 2885; Peachtree, 538
jmanela; Bayou, 2983
Akash; Peachtree, 3254; New Jersey, 371
hill; San Diego, 125; Bayou, 2983
Chris is me; San Diego, 3178; Peachtree, 3254
Alex Cormier; Kettering, 453; Peachtree, 281
rocketperson44; New Jersey, 371
Barry Bonzack; D.C., 2884; Bayou, 1985
jblay; Traverse City, 2054; Bayou, 2936
bobwrit; San Diego, 125
XaulZan11; Bayou, 1985
Dargel1625; San Diego, 125
TheLoneAsian; Granite State, 1958
Bethany Mc.; Bayou, 2292
Jamie Kalb; Peachtree, 538 & 3139

I will be updating this list over time, as I go through more events.
