I'll give you all a couple days to verify the results before I start sending out the prizes.

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone who consistently participated this year.

Please leave feedback, comments, and suggestions for how the GWJFFL can be even better next year. Thanks!

Comment: I sucked.

2nd lowest points for in Gold.

And as it turns out my PF% was 83.39, 4th worst in the league. So I made a few mistakes on who to play too.

But anyway... 2nd in the league in PA. So no matter what I did, I just got unlucky this year. Most people had a great week against me and there's not much I can do about that. Chalk it up to the random draw of who plays who each week, and it reminds you how much luck is involved.

Jolly Bill really got pounded on though, almost 200 more PA than me and 13 per game more. So... sorry Bill, rough year. Everyone had their best day against you apparently.

Even if I hadn't made the one big draft gaffe I did, not taking AJ Green in the 3rd round, it still would have only been 8 more ppg or so. Off a quick glance at my schedule, that might have only won 1 more game for me. Not enough to make a difference. Oh well.

Thanks Grump for putting together another great year.

I ended up about where I should have, sadly. Mediocre == middle of the pack. I'll be re-thinking my draft strategy for next year.

Stele: FleaFlicker has a "Luck" stat which quantifies some of the scheduling randomness. Go to Team -> Schedule. It will show the luck involved in each game, and give a summary for the season. For instance, I was 2-3 in Luck games. My best luck game was +64 (I was 8th best scorer, my opponent boogle was ninth). My worst luck game was -82 (I was third in scoring, my opponent Minase was second).

Grump, thanks again for running the show. As always, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for running da show. I don't know how you manage all this, but props.

Pretty strong, but mediocre showing from me this year, but I had a lot going on this year. From that standpoint I kicked ass.

Grump, thanks for running everything. Looking forward to returning in 2013!

Thanks again!

I agree with the plat moneys, I thought I had highest reg season total but I see I missed Leaps stellar week 6 game.

I look forward to defending the crown next year!

Yeah forgot about that. I had one -55, which was that game I lost by 2 and could have won easily. I had another -45 in a game I lost by 60, but that was the week garion had Megatron go off for 38, so maybe that's why?

And I had a +82 when I beat justinbot by 3 points. Although that part is hard to figure because we both had a player end up with 0, and my optimum was still higher than his optimum.

And anyway, in all of my losses except 1, my optimum was lower than my opponent's optimum. So I'm not sure if the luck stat reflects that, but seems to me that means no matter how I played I was losing most of those games.

Thanks for running everything so smoothly Grump. I lost the final by all of 3 yards, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I guess I can hang my hat on the fact that it looks like I had the highest PF among all the single-season-draft leagues... look forward to another great season next year.

Luck stuff

I do not think it means what you think it means.

From the tooltip: "Wins and losses involve scheduling luck (e.g., if the second-highest scoring team faces the highest scoring team, that is very bad luck)."

For example, your -55 luck game (which was, coincidentally, to me) was because you were 6th in scoring (i.e. you could have beaten 6 other teams if you were playing any of them) but your opponent was 5th. Unlucky.

On the flip side, your week 10 game had a +82 luck score because you were 10th in scoring but you lucked out by having an opponent who was 11th. You just so happened to be scheduled against one of the only two teams you could have beaten that week. Very lucky.

It's all about the rank of your score for the week vs. the rank of your opponent's score for that week and how much the scheduling gods favored you... or didn't. That's why finishing 1st for the week or finishing 12th both yield a luck score of 0. There's no scheduling luck involved when you're the best or the worst.

You can also hang your hat on the fact that finishing 2nd is still good enough to move up a league next year if you want to.

Oh that makes more sense. Nothing to do with your own optimum score and manager %. Just the weekly scores.

It was a pleasure grump.

It looks like it was a great year in the GWJFFL. Next year I will avenge my loss in

GWJFFL - Platinum

and make a better showing in

GWJFFLK

and defend my title in

GWJFFLD

Thanks!

That's pretty awesome.

Ah, if only I had my loot I'd have that new Paperwhite Kindle in my hand...

...and Legion could buy an authentic Henne jersey!

Tomorrow afternoon makes a week. Assuming no protests, prizes will go out this weekend.

Good, I got big plans for that $5.00

Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

No way. My jersey quality is commensurate with Chad Henne's performance.

I will be picking up a Eugene Monroe jersey sometime next year - but I'm waiting until after the Jaguars monkey with their jersey design again this offseason.

Right now, I'm picking up a Kaepernick jersey.

This was my first time doing FF and I loved every bit of it. Thanks for organizing it all and I can't wait for next year!
