Final Standings (sort of)

Hi Everyone - So - the final standings will be posted tomorrow. I've had a long-ass weekend full of a screaming teething toddler - so I figured it safest to check my work given that 3rd and 4/5th place (two teams with the same exact roster - which has never happened before) are decided by 0.2 points.

That said ... First place is Tyree 1. Second place is David daCruz 3. Congrats! I'll be in touch about payment.

3rd and 4th (which as of now will be split by two teams) are between vandelay industries and fuzzy Dunlop and Bradley Cusick (who have the same rosters).

Last place looks to be DiSanto/Carmody.

Given that there were 4 phantom teams and 2 DQ's as expected.
Pay-out looks to be what I thought it would be:
1st Place: $5,250
2nd Place: $1,600
3rd Place: $800
4th Place: $350
Last Place: $50

Standings after Conference Finals

Only one more game left. It's definitely been a strange play-off pool with IDPs being a huge difference and a QB from a #6 team being the key horse to ride for the top teams...

Here are the standings going into the Super Bowl. Tyree1 (Shac) looking like he's in the drivers seat. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places (and last) still get money. Good luck to all.

Rough Pay-out breakdown

There's still some things up in the air (a few phantom entries, payment pending on a few, paypal fees, etc.), but rough pay-outs look like this right now:

1st Place: $5,250
2nd Place: $1,600
3rd Place:  $800
4th Place: $350
Last Place:  $50

Standings after Divisional Games

Standings after the divisional round below. Things tightening up at the top:. For those that want to know who's on what team - check out the spreadsheet I sent out last week. Good luck!

Standings after Wildcard games (UPDATED)

There was an issue with the first set of standings I posted -- they did not include DB scoring. It's since been fixed - here is the updated standings:

Standings after Wildcard Weekend

What a crazy start to the NFL playoffs... Please find the standings after Wildcard weekend below. For those not in the top - have no fear - most of the top teams have their big guns one and done... Keep the faith and good luck.

Seahawks

Wow.

Only ONE offensive player was taken out of all 170 teams.  (Good work Shac)

As many people who took ANY Seattle player who took TWO Saints... ~20.

Sick.

2011 Teams and Player Totals

Here is the spreadsheet for the 2011 Teams.

2011 Email / Rules / etc

I don't think the blog was used that much last year - but I'll be posting standings here.
Here is the email I sent out this year.

It's that time again .... the 10th annual BG Fantasy Player pool for the NFL Play-offs.  All those included in this email are those who were involved last year (or have shown interest in the past).  If you would like to pass along to anyone else - that is totally cool - however, please don't send this off to anyone that you know it will be a struggle to get them to pay as it will just mean more upfront work for me...So... the person emailing me must include your name as a "reference"...

The rules and submission process is the exact same as last year.   That said - every year - there are too many people who mess it up - so please read the below carefully.  If you mess up the roster entry (submitting an illegal team, position eligibility, submission deadline, etc) your entry will be null and void ... 

Rosters:  Each entry will consist of 12 roster spots outlined below (yes - it includes Individual Defensive Players).  Each roster must consist of every team in the NFL playoffs, EXCEPT FOR ONE - which means you are allowed to pick 2 players from the same team - if you desire.  You can only do this once, so only one NFL play-off team will not represented on your final roster.  (So - T. Brady and W. Welker can be on the same team).  Rosters which are submitted incorrectly, (have 2 players from more than one team or list players at incorrect positions) will be null and void.

Submitting Rosters: This is going to be different this year.  You will need to go to this URL and fill out the form with your roster/team.  Very important - please submit the players names in the format I list (First initial of first name - dot - full last name).  I can't spend 10 hours on manual data entry (although I know it will come to that at some point). Please also pay attention to player name spelling.

Cost:  The cost will be $50 per entry. You can enter multiple entries if you'd like.  Due to the quick nature of this pool, the preferred method of receiving payment is PAYPAL.  Please PayPal me under 'Give to an individual" and "as a gift" the $50 per entry upon submitting your team(s) to bgoffin@yahoo.com .  The gift part is important to keep the fees down and end pay-outs higher.
If you do not have a paypal account then you can pay me via cash/check, but I will need to receive your money by MONDAY, JAN. 10th.  Otherwise, you will forfeit your entry...NO EXCEPTIONS.  Entries need to be received by 6:00 PM on Friday, January 8th so we can send out all of the teams by Saturday (when games start). I'd suggest sending in your teams early so you don't forget and miss the deadline...

Stats will be taken from " NFL.com Gamebook." Player positions will be taken from NFL.com.  If you are unsure of a position (especially the IDPs) please check before submitting.

Official pay-outs, tie-breakers, and other variables not included in this email will be TBD, depending on how many entries we receive.  However, here is how last years pay-outs approximately worked:
1st place:  $3,800
2nd place:  $1,200
3rd place: $500
4th place: $100
Last place:  $50

*If we have Paypal fees, they will merely be taken out of the pot.  Again, feel free to send to trusted friends, etc.

I will be posting scoring updates and announcements onto a blog, which should limit the emails...You can go there now to see last years standings, etc.

Every year I mistakenly leave people off or have the old email address of people who have participated in the past - so please feel free to send to people even if you think they're included on this.

Please email me if you have any questions.
