# of Wins determines these standings.

Winning Percentage will only be used as a reference or tie-breaker, not for overall standings.

Standings as of 12/30/03

Cgator you have me at 12-3, I should be 13-3 now that Tampa won last night.

 

 

Also DTrain35 is missing a game.

You definitely just edited your post and added the 16th game.

 

Well this prediction business sure is easy when you make one after the game is played. :whistle

You did not predict the Broncos-Bengals game, because I copied and pasted from you and was PMed reminding me to write it on. This is fact.

Yeah, I should have an extra loss becuase you messed up on my total for week 2, Philly lost and you marked that it was correct.

Corrected.

 

Thanks.

After week 6, it looks as though Das has gained the slimmest of margins over 83Gator. But that can change with just a few picks in week 7.

 

Just have to mention that Marlins2002 went 13-1 for week 6, the best one week record so far this season :thumbup

Damn those Bills. They suck worse then I thought . All in all my best week this year :cool

I'm still in the top 3 though in Winning Percentage meaning I've picked most of my games correct, 3rd best of them all.

 

I just don't have the amount of wins because I had to move across town in week 3.

 

But if those counted it would have hurted my WP%.

 

So 3rd place is still a little low for where I expected to be but I'll get it up yet.

And whatever breathing room Das had after week 6 has evaporated. Once again we have a tie heading into week 8.

After week 8, 83Gator takes over the top spot by the slimmest of margins.

another way to keep both accuracy and # of correct picks is subract the amount of losses from the amount of wins.

Here's what the standings would look like:

PLAYER W - L - T - GB - Pct.

83Gator +42

Das Texan +40

DaGreatOne +36

Big Hugg +36

D-Train35 +35

Wildcard in green and yellow

Interesting. Like the take away/give away stats.

that way it takes both winning percentage and total wins in account

Looks as though its still neck and neck at the top of the heap after week 10.

cgator,

 

i just looked at the standings, and GB is not calculated properly. each win constitutes an additional half a game, and each loss constitutes the loss of half a game. the GB that is calculated up there is correct for people who have picks for every game (i.e. those who have played since week 1), but it was calculated incorrectly for those who have fewer than the maximum amount of picks.

 

for example, 83gator is 93-51. if a new person is at 0-0, they have 93 fewer wins (93/2 = 46.5 points behind) but 51 fewer losses (25.5 points ahead). correctly calculated, the new person is thus 21 Games Back (46.5 - 25.5 = 21 GB). although GB should theoretically be a measure of how many wins a team needs to tie for a lead, in actuality it is just a mathematical win/loss formula calculated as above. if you look at division standings in a particular sport, a team with a record of 93-52 is 0.5 games behind a team with a record with 93-51.

 

to avoid having to recalculate GB the hard way, you can simply divide everyone takeaway+/- points by 2, then subtract each person's value from the high score (in this case, one-half of 42 = 21) to calculate GB.

 

for dagreatone: 21 - 16 = 5. so dagreatone is correctly 5 GB, since he played the same number of games as 83gator and das texan. essentially, GB corrects for a difference in number of "games played".

 

of course, if you're basing the game on # of wins, as i'm assuming you are, then just leave the standings are they are and remove the reference to GB (or recalculate it for reference).

 

ok, i hope this is of some use to you. i'm a numbers fiend, so i just thought i'd point out that GB is calculated incorrectly here.
