yes that's very hot and i'll deal with it in the morning


Last week, on 1KYOB...

  • OxySnake is the top scorer this week, and the second player this season to both hit on a Cojones and dominate the table for an extremely noice 100 bonus points! Only 2 yards short of the grand slam!
  • Play was not too far behind, coming up 7 yards shy of a perfect score. Generally good scores all around this week - a real palate cleanser after last week's bust-o-rama
  • The Cojones was enough to put OxySnake on top of the overall standings, followed closely by previous leader and noted Cojones-hitting alumnus seiferguy and reliable top-10-place-getter BlindSite a fair way back in third. Still a number of weeks to go and the rest of the field is densely packed, so who knows how the final standings will shake out

Scores and Standings

Final scores from last week and overall standings so far are below.

How do I play 1000 Yards or Bust?

See this thread!

Tokens!

Tokens are back again this year. What's a token you ask? Good question:

Because 1KYOB is inherently a game about selecting offensive players, tokens were originally created to celebrate the superlative defenders of the NFL as well as introduce another strategic element to the game. The tokens apply to your GDI Number player and only your GDI Number player, but you can't cheat and edit them in if you're heading into Monday about to bust: if you haven't declared you're using a token before the first player on your list starts, you're SOL. Each token can only be used once per season unless otherwise noted.

To play a token please copy and paste the image as well as the name of the token after your GDI Number.

This year there are seven tokens, split into three different categories - Normal, Supplement, and Special. You can only use a max of one token per week from each category.

NORMAL TOKENS

THE MACK TOKEN




A running back's worst nightmare is to make a cut towards an inviting gap only to see Khalil Mack suddenly appear, arms wide in welcome embrace. Particularly so when Mack has crossed half the country and a whole conference to unexpectedly crush this naive NFC North rusher twice a season.

You may play the Mack Token when your GDI Number is a Running Back. If your GDI Number would bust your score, this token will zero out their score! Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

THE HAYWARD TOKEN



Casey Hayward is one of the premier CBs in the league, and after he has assimilated the life force of the rest of the Chargers' defense a la Jet Li in The One he will become unstoppable.

You may play the Hayward Token when your GDI Number is a Wide Receiver or a Tight End. If your GDI Number would bust your score, this token will zero out their score! Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

THE GHOST OF SAN DIEGO PAST TOKEN



Prior to his untimely death, Joey Bosa terrorized offensive lines and QBs coming off the edge. Becoming phantasmal can only improve his game, turning him from 'difficult to block' to 'impossible to handle unless you know five kids and a dog with a van'.

You may play the Ghost of San Diego Past Token when your GDI Number is a Quarterback. If your GDI Number would bust your score, this token will convert your QB entry to use Rushing instead of Passing yards, as the QB can think of nothing but fleeing for his life. If you are already using Rushing yards for your QB entry, this token will zero out their score as the QB remains rooted to the spot in fear. Can only be used once per season unless refreshed or in certain circumstances, see later.

SUPPLEMENT TOKENS

THE MERCURIAL GENIUS TOKEN




Note: see the bottom of this post for clarifications on this token.

Marcus Peters is an extremely talented CB who is prone to, uh, 'shifts' in mood that can affect his performance. One week he will smother a #1 wideout so thoroughly that the receiver forgets his own name, the next he's launching flags into the crowd and himself out of the stadium.

You may play the Mercurial Genius token alongside any of the above Normal tokens - it cannot be played by itself. The Normal token acts normally, and if you need it to avoid busting (or if you bust regardless), it will be consumed. However if you do not need the token to avoid busting, the Mercurial Genius token will return the Normal token back to you to be used again in a following week (i.e. it will refresh the token). The Mercurial Genius token itself can be played any number of times during the season, unless...

...your GDI Number blows up and exceeds the relevant yardage limit (Rushing: 100, Receiving: 100, Passing: 400). Then the Genius will get himself ejected for the rest of the season and your GDI Number will have a record game! Specifically, their yardage total will be set to the relevant all-time single-game record below:
Rushing: 296 yards (Adrian Peterson, Vikings vs San Diego, 2007)
Receiving: 336 yards (Willie 'Flipper' Anderson, Rams vs Saints, 1989)
Passing: 554 yards (Norm van Brocklin, Rams vs NY Yanks, 1951)

If this happens and you still don't bust (what kind of strange list are you running?!?) then the Normal token will still be returned. The Mercurial Genius token is always consumed after the Genius is ejected.

SPECIAL TOKENS

THE MONSTER COJONES TOKEN



A reminder of the most balls-out playcall I've seen in a Superbowl, and - as a Jets fan - a delightful way for the Patriots to be humbled on the biggest stage in American football. I'd like to take this opportunity to bring up that the Patriots also tried a similar play in the same game, showing us that sometimes it is ok to count out Touchdown Tom.

If you declare the Monster Cojones token during a given week, it gets you 50 bonus points for a top 10 score and 100 bonus points for the best score of the week, but if you finish outside the top 10 you get zero, so you better catch that pass! In addition, you can use the Monster Cojones token as much as you want if you keep getting the bonus, but if you use the Monster Cojones token and fail to make the top 10, you can't use it again for the entire rest of the season unless you hit a perfect thousand. Not for the faint at heart!

Have fun!

Maybe it's time to hang em up, buddy

TOKEN CLARIFICATIONS

I'll try to collate any token clarifications I make during each thread in this area.

Clarification 1: The Genius Token

The Genius token will return the Normal token if you don't need the Normal token to avoid busting. If you do need it (or bust anyway) the Normal token is consumed and not returned. The Genius token itself is always returned unless it gets ejected ie your GDI number exceeds the yardage limit.

For example:

Pre-Monday yardage total: 920
If Brate goes for 70: no bust, both Hayward and Genius tokens returned
If Brate goes for 100: Hayward token activated, Brate yardage becomes zero, Hayward token not returned, Genius token returned
If Brate goes for 120: Genius ejected, Brate yardage becomes 336, total yardage 1256, bust, Hayward token not returned, Genius token not returned

Pre-Monday yardage total: 600
Brate goes for 70: no bust or ejection, both tokens returned
Brate goes for 120: Genius ejected, Brate yardage becomes 336, total yardage 936, no bust, Hayward token returned, Genius token not returned

Clarification 2: Tiebreakers

Ties are broken as follows:
  • Whichever list has more players
  • If both entries have the same number of players - whichever list was entered first

Clarification 3: Using the same player more than once

You can use the same player more than once but you cannot use the same combination of player and yardage type more than once. So - to use Nick Foles as an example - you can list Nick Foles three times in one entry (for Passing, Rushing and Receiving yards) but you cannot list Nick Foles - Passing more than once. If you use a player more than once they have to be listed on separate lines for each yardage type you want to use:

I guess I was too mesmerised about how terrible the Jets were to update the scores on the normal schedule. Scores for the week below!
