@alex240101,
He has not posted on A2K since the 13th. I sent a message to his son. It appears he did make a roster change over on the Fantasy Football thread today. Jespah is also working on this.

@realjohnboy,
Thank you realjohnboy. If he doesn't have a legitimate reason, we will have to harass him.

@realjohnboy,
He has made moves in hockey as well, and Miss Letty inferred she had spoken to him, I believe.

Oops..we (region and I) would have a log-jam problem, in that case.
I didn't notice before that we had picked the same tiebreaker score. That was an oversight. So for this week, if Region and I tie (resulting from a NO win), then I hereby change my score to 28-24. Does that work?
yeah-but... since i posted after you, i should be the one changing my score, no?

@Region Philbis,
No changes, guys. The picks are locked in. When JPB in Chicago ran this last year, I warned her that we had to have several layers of tiebreakers due to the number of people playing. We came up with a plan and we are sticking with it.
There will be a winner here after tonight's game. No problem.

@realjohnboy,
oh..I had thought because Region and I had a problem contingent on NO winning. We weren't supposed to have exact same tie-breaker scores.

Sorry, I just rethought that. I'm wrong about all this...as I have GB picked.
Or, amn't I?

Ignore the man dressed in black behind the curtain as he spells out the rules for how the tiebreaker points work. It looks like it may perhaps become a factor this week. I don't care whether you like the system or not. These are the rules in the event of a tie in Wins vs Losses:
1) Total # of points in the Monday night game;
2) Closest to the winning team's points in the Monday night game;
3) Closest to the losing team's points in the Monday night game;
4) Closest to the home team's total points in the Monday night game;
5) Closest to the road team's total points in the Monday night game;
6) Whichever player scored fewer points in the previous week (or the week before that etc.)

Not too bad a week for us; our 3rd best in fact. We did fall below .600 by a spidgeon.

Question. Are we as a group getting any smarter - at least as measured by our collective winning percentage?
Week #1: .580
Week #2: .531
Week #3: .603
Week #4: .517
Week #5: .617
Week #6: .507 (except for Cowdoc we stank)
Week #7: .633
Week #8: .592
Week #9: .596
Week #10: .747
Week #11: .707
Week #12: .637
Season to date: .599

4 players did very well, going 12-4. Edgar, Region, Ragman and Ehbeth, with Region clawing his way into the tie by picking NO. Total points scored
came to 80. Region and Ragman were closest, both picking the final game as ending at 27-24. I had to go down to the 4th tiebreaker (for the 2nd time this season) to get a winner. Region went 8-8 in Week #11. Ragman was 11-4.
Region wins the week. Congratulations!
Rockhead finished at 11-4 followed by McGentrix, ElStud, Wandeljw and Fbaezer (11-5). Foxfyre, Imur and Cowdoc did okay (10-6). Osso, Jespah, Alex and Miz Cowdoc got more right then wrong (9-7). The best that RJB, Tico and Mysteryman could do was break even (8-8).

@realjohnboy,
The standings after 12 weeks:

1) Ragman (.680 winning %) (1st after last week)
2) Cowdoc (.652) (2nd)
3) ElStud (.640) (3rd)
3) Fbaezer (.640) (3rd)
5) Wandeljw (.635) (7th)
6) McGentrix (.629) (8th)
6) Osso (.629) (3rd)
8) Imur (.623) (8th)
8) Edgar (.623) (11th)
8) Realjohnboy (.623) (3rd)
11) EhBeth (.618) (13th)
12) Jespah (.612) (10th)
13) Rockhead (.598) (14th)
13) Tico (.598) (12th)
15) Foxfyre (.575) (15th)
16) Miz Cowdoc (.573) (17th)
16) Alex (.573) (15th)
18) Region (.572) (18th)
19) Mysteryman (.535) (19th)
19) George (.535) (19th)

No one finished in 20th this week! Edgar moved up 3 slots this week. RJB managed to tumble 5 positions.
The best ESPN guy is at .682 which would be good for 1st place here. The worst, at, .583 would slip into 14th position.

I will be posting the Week #13 Schedule in a minute. It could be a lonely week in the A2K NFL studio as many players in the U.S. will be preoccupied with Thanksgiving. And we have not one but three Thursday games beginning at 12:30 ET.
Please try to find a few mintues to post you picks. Thanks. RJB.
