I got you. Glad to know I can do that after hours now.

And yeah if you need help this week that's fine there's only two more lineups this week.

Are we still locked at 7 transactions even though it’s two weeks of games for this round?

The Fleaflicker system is still treating it like two separate weeks, I'll be tallying the results to stitch them together.

So 14 transactions all told.

So who ended up with the most All Stars? I think I have three - JJJ, Doncic and Sabonis. That's probably about average.

Come on Wiggins get your poo poo together.

Also stay tuned for an update in here later today with the cross-over qualifiers scores and all that.

The Fleaflicker standings are not representative of our current league status anymore; I can custom input schedules but I can't alter how standings are determined without it retroactively altering past results too. So "the median" is totally irrelevant going forward but the site/app will still award wins for it.

Haven't been up to doing any work on the computer lately, herniated disc => sciatica => spinal stenosis (?TBD?).

Anyways, here's a minimalist update:

Regular Season Final Standings




Results from Part 1 of the on-going seeding/cross-over rounds




So for the 4 match-ups which affect who makes the top-8 bracket, as of Wednesday:

Balrog was ahead of EricCart by 31.81
Air Endil was ahead of Shadow by 135.92
8pt9sec was ahead of HoJimbo by 209.53
Durin was ahead of Boromir by 168.92

So keep those values in mind when looking at what Fleaflicker is calling "This Week's Scores".

The other four squads are doingna seeding thing, I'll draw something to make it clear, but every game counts for securing a higher seed.

gently caress that sucks ghost, sorry man.

If you win your quarter-final round then there's a good chance Lebron & Shai are back though (albeit I've no idea if LBJ will push to return if the Lakers lose more ground the next few games).

I meant those trade requests but I guess it's probably not fair for one of the comishes to tank now that I think about it. Unless y'all think it's fine and then let's say I'm open for business for draft picks lol.

On the one hand, I like the idea of a big trade that gives the league a dynasty feel, with future top picks being given up for a boosted chance this year.

On the other hand, we're already in the playoffs (or playoff qualifiers) which feels late in the season for deals that could turn a bubble team into a top contender.

But afaict no official deadline was listed, and we're all just playing this league for fun and bragging rights, so I dunno; I feel like I could lean either direction!


Meanwhile, the two final "Win & In" qualifiers are crazy competitive:
pre:
Balrog Balls  1408.45
Durin AS Kin  1403.34

Shadowfax  1455.49
8pts 9sec  1429.77

We should definitely establish a trade deadline if that's something that's important to people for sure.

I also have been thinking a lot about what to do to make winning worthwhile but unfortunately every idea I come up with is wildly unbalanced (like the idea I was considering was the winner got an extra keeper, which might not be a big deal in a smaller league, but we have so many people the bluechippers are at a major premium)

I think we should set a trade deadline, maybe the All-Star game or something, just to A) avoid any potential dumb bullshit in the future and B) so we're all clear and not confused

I'm not particularly concerned about this trade or anything but now that we're in the Official Playoffs I think we should probably say the trade deadline has passed and that's our last trade for the year

Sorry, I neglected to put up the details, but it was same as last year:

Top 4 regular season teams battle over multiple weeks to rise/fall in the seeds. It wasn't head-to-head, it was a pool of 4, Fleaflicker just doesn't let me show it in that format.

So during the cross-overs, the top 4 posted:
pre:
Tm.Name  Wk18+19 Rk.  Week 20 Rk.
-------  ------- ---  ------- ---
Saruman  2527.93 1st  2195.01 1st
RedPand  2258.34 3rd  2125.71 2nd
TheOrcs  2299.59 2nd  1657.72 4th
YouTolk  1954.94 4th  1943.22 3rd

And if you look at the season as a whole, regular season and the above results, you end up with the top 3 all sitting on 29-11 records (including median) and the PF tiebreaker going

pre:
Saruman 37,133.89
RedPand 36,270.75
TheOrcs 36,047.95

But since I didn't make it super clear how the top 4 were being ranked these past few weeks, I'm happy to drop to 3rd Seed and bump The Orcs to 2nd. Since you did win that first Week18&19 match-up, and ended the regular season alone on top.

So just to be clear for Rick, Scooter, & Deimos, this week all your teams are in a group together, and your results amongst yourselves will help settle your seeds for the 8-team consolidation bracket.

It'll be based on two values: your record as of the end of the regular season, and your rank in the group this week. The use of two values is reward regular season success for Scooter & Rick while still giving Deimos a shot at going up a few ranks and positioning themselves for a run at 5th or 7th place.

Related to this league but not fantasy related: does anyone here happen to be pals with CartMountain off-site, like via messenger or social media or whatever? They haven't posted on SA in 2 months nor checked their Boromir lineups in 5 weeks. I assume they're just IRL busy but was hoping there'd be a way to check in and see how they're doing.
