I'm a statistics fool, though I do read this and that. I'm glad for some teams past my choices, and have boredom or distaste for some teams I picked. 'tis a game to me, and not all for the winning. If I ever do get serious, you'll all hear about it early on..

So?

I have been consistently mediocre. Do you think that is any better?

I don't know what I was looking at yesterday, but imagine my surprise when I saw a three-way tie for first place after last night's game. Looking back into the data, I see that rjb had the Titans picked with 34 as the total score. So well done to panzade, fbaezer, and rjb with 11 correct picks. Now here's where it gets tricky...

The total score of last night's game was 45 points. panzade and fbaezer each missed that by 1 point in opposite directions. Prior to the start of the season we established a second level tie-breaker giving the weekly win to the person with the lower seasonal place standing going into the current week. After last week's game the overall standings were,

Quote:

fbaezer (19-12 0.594 12)

panzade (22-10 0.688 3)

so, fbaezer gets the first place points this week! Congrats to fbaezer. panzade and rjb will get second place points and the rest of us lowly souls will trickle down from there.

I'll add up the rest of the wins and losses and post the weekly summary in a few...

Week 3 final rankings, games won and (season to date win rate plus overall standings and last week's overall standing for those playing all three weeks) --

We have our third weekly winner in three weeks. fbaezer joins Ragman and lmur with first place weekly honors

1 fbaezer 11 (30-18 0.625 8 12) a 4 place jump in overall standings
2 panzade 11 (33-15 0.688 3 3)
2 realjohnboy 11 (30-18 0.625 8 12) another 4 place jump overall
4 CowDoc 10 (31-17 0.646 5 5)
4 Ragman 10 (34-14 0.708 1 1)
4 Region Philbis 10 (32-16 0.667 4 3)
4 cicerone imposter 10 (31-17 0.646 5 5)
4 ehbeth 10 (31-17 0.646 5 5)
4 lmur 10 (34-14 0.708 1 1)
10 JPB 9 (25-23 0.521 17 19)
10 LionTamerX 9 (27-21 0.563 15 15)
10 Pantalones 9 (27-21 0.563 15 15)
10 wandeljw 9 (28-20 0.583 12 12)
14 George 8 (29-19 0.604 10 5) wow! a big drop in overall standings for George
14 Mrs CowDoc 8 (24-24 0.500 20 19)
14 edgarblythe 8 (28-20 0.583 12 11)
14 jpinMilwaukee 8 (25-23 0.521 17 18)
14 ossobuco 8 (29-19 0.604 10 5) another big drop in overall standings!
19 Cycloptichorn 7 (28-20 0.583 12 5) Cyclo?
19 Ticomaya 7 (25-23 0.521 17 15)
21 jespah 6 (22-26 0.458 21 19)

Ragman and lmur remain tied for first place overall with 34 wins. panzade is only one game back. RP with 32 wins is within striking distance of the lead, as are CowDoc, ci, and ehbeth with 31/48. The rest of us have some work to do but I've no doubt we'll tighten up over the next few weeks.

First level tiebreaker is total points scored in Monday night's game. If still tied after first level tiebreaker then lower overall standing after prior week. You were in third place overall, fbaezer was in 12th, so fbaezer gets the underdog boost.

And the (consistency) awards go to Ragman and jespah. Unfortunately for jes, this isn't such a good thing in terms of overall ranking. Ragman also has the best average weekly place ranking. RP and panzade are consistently on top as well. Hanging out in the hot tub with jes are Tico, jp, and Miz Doc. The rest of us have assorted variability ranging from ci's 3.21 to fbaezer's 9.87. kicky and chiso did not play the last two weeks.

panzade 3.7 (2.89)

Thank You, JPB! (My variability is only 3.51. That is what I supposed it would be.)

Sorry, but I had no way to play, thanks to baiting tactics by some trolls of A2K. Funny, they could have played though I couldn't....

You're still in the database, cj. Give us your picks for this weekend's game (I'll post the choices later this afternoon) and we'll move forward from here.

Right. In our Fantasy Football matchup this week, Jespah clobbered me. No mercy there.

Well done, JPB. It was fortunate that the 2nd level tiebreaker was put in place this year. We saw this situation coming.
And can you punch a button to display the overall standings for the year in descending order?

(and by the way, if I hadn't changed my pick in the Giants-Skins game...)
