Whatever the breakdown, I'm glad I unlocked the Patriots yesterday. Unfortunately, I wasn't ballsy enough to pick the Ravens.

Re: OONFL2K13 - Playoffs, ho!
If everyone above (and tied with) me in points could please incorrectly pick the game while I correctly lock it that would be a huge help. Thanks in advance.
Failing that, go Ralph-Wiggum. May an RW take home the prize.

Dude, she's from Texas and was raised on football. I feel no shame losing to her. But yeah, I had an off year. Though I'd still encourage Remus to compare our relative success over the years before throwing stones.Zaxxon wrote:Burn.Remus West wrote:I was going to point out how the woman in that household had a shot at winning it all while the man in the household failed to make the playoffs.......Captain Caveman wrote:I think you mean RW's sister-in-law.

Re: OONFL2K13 - Playoffs, ho!
Well, I locked BAL so that was good. I really want to know what the folks above me chose. I also want to know how pr0ner and I work as far as tie-breakers. Off to look at the OP to check.
edit: and having checked I lost to both pr0ner and Mrs. Stinkycheese in the regular season so have that going against me.

Re: OONFL2K13 - Playoffs, ho!
Congrats to Ralph-Wiggum for winning 1st place for the second year in a row! He finished with 21 playoff points, two ahead of Pr0ner and Remus West who tied with 19 apiece. Remus loses on the tiebreaker of regular-season points, coming in third.
The pot is $720 (35 participants @ $20 plus 2 Ironmen @ $10).
1st place - Ralph-Wiggum - 40% - $288
2nd place - Pr0ner - 30% - $216
3rd place - Remus West - 15% - $108
Regular-Season Winner - Grievous Angel - 10% - $72
End-of-Season Surge - Skinypupy - 5% - $36
This was the 11th year of the pool. I keep an overall tally of how folks have done through the years, awarding 5/4/3 points for 1st/2nd/3rd, 2 for regular-season wins and 1 for end-of-season surge winners. Ralph was not on the overall leaderboard through the first 9 seasons. After his two wins, he's vaulted to 4th on the scoring list. Here are the top five from that list:
Player Total
The Meal 22
GuidoTKP 14
Captain Caveman 14
Ralph-Wiggum 10
Mr. Lem 9
The full tally is available at the archives. Also available there is an analysis script for anyone interested in seeing how they've done overall or just this season.
Thanks, everyone, for another fun season. I hope to see you all back next year. (Except maybe for Ralph.) Winners, email me your preferred address for pot proceeds.

Also from the 'stats no one else is likely to care about' department, I was 8-4 locking SF and BAL this season--meaning I did worse when locking them than when locking the other 30 teams.

Re: OONFL2K13 - Congrats, Ralph!
Whoooo Hooooo!!!!! I finally finished in the money. I'm so proud of locking the Ravens based off the idea that more people would pick the 49ers rather than any actual faith in the Ravens. Damn pr0ner and his homer pick keeping me from rightfully asserting that RW is the best OO initials evar.
