Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

So trying to score all the events I have hit a snag I have no idea how to solve.

Las Vegas was drafted as 1 tier but there is not enough teams for everyone to have 3 teams so what do I do?

Randomize the team list, take the top half and put them in 1 tier, the bottom half in another, and apply the fill ins to both tiers.

Is this the standard procedure or just a suggestion because if it is the latter I will wait to hear from Ed before doing anything

That's not quite the way I'd do it. I've had drafts run out of teams (with no open slots) after randomization before, but not to the point of open slots.


If it were up to me, I'd say to compute the median score of a team at the event and apply that in any remaining hole. (Could also do mode; I wouldn't use mean for this.)

No, I wouldn't do that. A random team isn't the same as an average team. I'd take the median of all the teams remaining at the time of the random pick. This only wouldn't work if the random spot was near the end of the draft.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

The tentative schedule for the championship drafts:
Archimedes Saturday April 20th @ 7pm (this one could be a little touch n go as my flight arrive in St.. Louis @ 5:55 and I have to get my rental car and check into my hotel room so I may be a bit late starting).
Curie Sunday April 21st @ 7pm.
Gallieo Monday April 22nd @ 7pm.
Newton Tuesday April 23rd @ 7pm.
Be ready to send in those lists!

There is no standard procedure, to the best of my knowledge. I think we've discussed using some form of average score to fill that type of hole before, but haven't ever actually had to do it.

I'd definitely wait for Ed to weigh in on Vegas, and score the rest while we're waiting.

Just wanted to add my thanks to all scorers and draft runners! We all appreciate having a bit of fun like this during the season.

Eric's suggestion seems the best way to go.

Ok well just so it is on here for everyone to see I am going with median which is 20. However just for fun I will say that Mean was 25 and Mode was 10
