Re: [FF]: 2010 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

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.
