My bad; I swapped yours and ljigga's scores. Should be fixed now.
| RolStoppable said: Yeah... no. I have to step in here. You are sloppy and some of your decisions don't sit well with me. 1. I am sure you remember that I told you that not counting TNF is a dumb idea. Just look at my record above and how my percentage is better than other people's. When you create a situation where making no pick can be an advantage over making a pick, you are doing it wrong. Everyone's win-loss record should have a tally of 32 games at this point. What's more, I made a pick for TNF. That you don't write my username with a capital S is the least of all issues. 2. I am sure you remember the example Farsala gave you for the distribution of PP. In week 2 you lucked out with your system, because the third-best records are receiving 1 PP. But it's much more common that things play out like in Farsala's example, so in most weeks nobody would get 1 PP for their performance under your system. Much of how I designed the prediction league had to do with allowing people to have small successes throughout the season to keep them motivated and in turn reduce the number of people who quit. You should really redo the results for week 1 and keep the PP system that has been used throughout the years. It's still early enough in the season to make that change. 3. You have multiple people in the standings where their record and distribution of PP is incorrect. ljigga is 16-16 according to the weekly predictions tab, but the standings have him at 19-13. Conversely, LudicrousSpeed is 17-15 according to predictions, but 14-18 in the standings; it looks like you mixed up their lines with each other, so one mistake affected two people. While you did get Level1Death's record correct, his PP stats do not show that he has 3 PP in total after 1 second-place and 1 third-place finish through two weeks. I haven't looked at everyone's stats, so what I posted here is not a comprehensive list; maybe there are more things wrong, maybe not. However, what I pointed out throughout this post is already enough to make it clear that you have to be more thorough. Oh, and your perfect prediction for MNF wasn't counted towards your PP total either. At least we know that you aren't trying to cheat us, rather the problem is that your method to carry over and update PP statlines needs improvement. Feel free to ask me in general about how I did things and why I made the rules the way I made them. |
1) While I appreciate your feedback, this is something that I'm simply going to disagree on. I apologize for missing your pick and I've added it to the total (part of why I encouraged people heavily to check the results was I didn't get a chance to compile the predictions until Friday), but as far as not counting picks for the BAL/CIN game, that's the decision I'm sticking with as the league manager.
2) I specifically asked if people would prefer that I change things back to the older way, and nobody really responded with a "yes/no" save for Farsala saying that he didn't mind as long as things were consistent. As I stated previously, I have no problem switching things back if that's what people want (although I'm rather skeptical of PP being what motivates people to stick around); but I have to be told or else I'm just going to keep things as is.
I've gone over the sheet again, and I believe everything should be fine now. I've held off on updating PP stuff until we decide on a system to use. If anyone else wants to offer feedback on this, I'm all ears.
