In each league, there was one team that finished the regular season 11-2 (#1 seed, natch). None of them won it all.

Have any other interesting observations from this season? Share them below.

Congrats to the champions!

And thanks to Grumpicus for his excellent league management.

My observation: I find it interesting how often points don't translate to victories. Take the Pro league, where Leap's Peeps had an 11-2 record with 1610 pts., while Gumbie's Dammits had a 6-7 record with 1623 pts. I had a similar result in another league I'm in, where I didn't make the playoffs despite having the most points in the league.

Karma won 1st in Pro AND won the consolation bracket!

Heh. Time to go bug hunting. Thanks.

Edit: Fixed! Fleaflicker changed their URL structure this year and I hadn't updated the post-season patterns yet. Thanks again for noticing.

Thanks for everything once again, Grumps!

And sort of thanks to Legion for whatever you do in Dynasty.

No problemo. If we are looking for more bugs, I believe the keeper league standings are incorrect as well... I was 3rd, not 5th. Not sure of the other orders.

Looking forward to next year in keeper. Jolly, we may have to make another off-season trade as I find myself in the same situation as last year with way too many WRs I am keeping.

Hmm, if that was in Pro, it'd be monetarily significant. Unfortunately, that's what the official Fleaflicker standings are showing. I'll raise it with Fleaflicker.

In other news, while I was in the code last night, I ended up adding a new module. Pro peeps, please review the "Final Award Totals" (and the individual awards/results, of course) above and make sure they are as expected. Disbursements will happen early next week and at that point, results will be final.

It's fine, just figured it was a bug.

Posted. We'll see what they say.

As I mention in that post, I agree that the 3rd place game should determine ranks 3 and 4 so if you like, I'm willing to manually adjust the OP here and the draft order next year. Just let me know.

Edit: The reason my post on the Fleaflicker board is worded the way it is, is because their answer to similar questions is basically this: http://www.fleaflicker.com/help/how-...

For redraft and keeper leagues from the previous year, the draft order is determined by last season's worst-to-first record from the regular season with one exception – the last team to draft is the league's champion and the second-to-last team to draft is the runner-up of the league.

Essentially, only the championship game affects rank/draft order.

Thanks Grumps, it was a fun season.

I'm about to hit the road but keep an eye on this thread for new "official" content on Monday. Happy New Year all and congratulations to the champs.

...the moment you realize you don't have to keep track of injury reports because the season's over.

Thanks so much again, Grump. I really enjoyed the competition in Pro and I'm pretty pumped that I was able to take my Dynasty team to a championship. I'll be back next season.

A very strong 2nd to this. I had more here than in my "jellybean" league.

SCREW YOU ANTONIO BROWN!

I highlighted my championship week game thingy. Damn you!

Apollo? The guy I could have beat in the first round playoff game if I had played 1 of like 6 different bench players? He won it all?

Ugh...

Rude.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Given that I didn't see any protests or corrections, I'll be sending out Pro awards shortly. Pro awards have been sent.

If you have a couple minutes to spare, I've created a short survey form that I'd appreciate if you filled out.

Thanks Grump!

So I've only just moved to the United States and participated in my first fantasy football (work colleagues ESPN league).
How do I go about registering interest in joining the GWJ fantasy football for next season?

There'll be a sign up come next August. Best way is probably to post in a thread like this and when the new thread is up someone will likely make a note and link in this thread.

Thanks!

Nice survey Grump, it will be interesting to see the response rate and what the results are.

Thank you, Grumpicus, for coordinating the league for all of us! Great job!

Thanks to everybody in Division II for the, ahem, educational inaugural season. It was fun and I look forward to next year.

Whoever responded about 20 minutes ago put the thread title as their forum name?

Anyway, it doesn't really matter except to let me know if anyone submits answers twice (which is totally fine, by the way) as well as your perspective vis a vis your current league(s).

I'll leave the survey open until somewhere around the Super Bowl.

You're welcome, of course, to discuss the topics in the survey, or anything else GWJFFL-related, here in this thread. Speaking of "anything else" remember you can have "write-in votes" for anything I didn't explicitly cover in the survey (e.g. changes to the keeper formula). You can, as I said, just bring it up here, too.

36 participants, 11 respondents. I'm not going to hard sell the survey but your feedback matters... especially, if you're of the group that prefers the larger rosters as many responses so far are inclined towards a smaller roster.

*Done!
