AE AE13 - Discussion

[Osmodiar]

I feel sorry for Wceprod. He has 20 less CR than me but has 0 wins. So I think he's due to beat me!

I wanna see someone go 0-10 in ND one year, losing all their games by 1 point to the person with max CR in any given week.
Could be decimating AE yet be stinking up ND

 

[exe ex machina]

I wanna see someone last or second last in CR standings make the ND playoffs and win the Super Bowl.....oh wait, that's me in AE13

I might check that out tonight.
What is the maximum score someone can have in CR and be 0-7 in ND, and what is the minimum score someone can have in CR and be 7-0 in ND.

Results could be amusing

 

[Woodson]

NO SHOWS: 6

BJTOBY Tampa Bay 1CR
BURNINGLEVIATHAN Tampa Bay 1CR
DRD23 Tampa Bay 10CR
DEVNULL Tampa Bay 6 CR
MOO Carolina 6CR
WCEPROD Carolina 1CR

 

[manureid]

Yeh, so I tipped the Bucs for CR9....I can say with certainty that it was not an intentional selection

Drop zone here I come.....

 

[quin_stick]

I reckon I've tipped the Buccs at least 4/7 times, why do I keep doing it?

 

[larkis]

Knew I should of had Carolina higher
Got scared with them playing a division game away and thinking they would be out of breath with Tampa Bay having to win at least one game.

 

[Dirty Bird]

And this wait to see if people put their X on the game is why I believe Woodson and/or GG need access to the website.
If JeffDunne has an unexpected turn for the worse through injuries or sickness, what do we do?

 

[Papa Juggs]

You could still move your pick after Carolina scored their first touchdown.

Same thing last week when Seahawks were up by 14.

I PM'd JD about it but heard nothing back. I'm sure nobody is cheating but I don't like that you're able to.

Those that have had top CR on the last 2 TNF games look sus even if done nothing wrong.

Rule of thumb I usually have Thursday Night Football on max CR if I am 99% confident on the result to set my week up. Some people are probably similar to myself

If it makes you feel any better, I did not change my CR order, or CR selection after kickoff

My intention was not to be accusatory. I just want the utmost integrity to be displayed by the competition administration so all participants can feel secure that there is no unscrupulous activity occurring.

 

[GeeCats07]

Let me think about it as there are just 91 points up for grabs this week and it's also the first week of the LAST CHANCE SALOON QUALIFYING round meaning 13CR could be make or break for either of us... I say 7CR and you gotta deal buddy.

I'm going max CR
Pryor all the way!

Nah none of the AE participants would do that.

To be part of the inaugural ND SB, you've already played the Cinderella role along with Moo as yinz were rank outsiders in the lead up.. remember this?

Burning question remains whether beez is this season's DEEVS?? (One & done #1 seed ). Primetime Pricey avoided that indignity last season with his season sweep of Moo. Rocco_S is the other #1 seed to stumble at the first hurdle. For those wondering who defeated Deevs who was 27th on the CR standings in 2008, it was Wizard who was Ninth overall. To think someone who could be 2-5 after the midway stage of the ND season and rally to reach the ND SB and actually LEAD 67-53 after the early games just underlines how much of Cinderella story GG's campaign in the ND inaugural season actually was. Dirty Bird can beat his drum all he likes about taking down Moo but let's face it.. DB was one of the high flyers in his 2010 triumphant ND campaign.

For the record..the deepest CR Longshots to reach the ND play-Offs:
larkis (68th) WON 2012
BeinPurplenGreen (51st) LOST 2011
Marklar_33 (48th) LOST 2011
swannies (47th) WON 2011
marcuz (46th) WON 2012
Rory WhyAlwaysMe (45th) LOST 2010
sblack (41st) WON 2010

GG was 24th in 2008.

CR is at the time of reaching the Play-offs, WON/LOSt result from first play-off game.

 

[Dirty Bird]

It was me against the world.
Moo was dominating all competitions and was the shortest price favourite in ND history.
All of AE thought it was a walkover so jumped on the Moo bandwagon.

I defied everyone by getting up in the greatest Super bowl of all time.

One for the ages no doubt.. even though the spattering Rams O helped you enormously. But you know that to BE truly great and you NEED to back it up the following season.. which is tough in the real world of sports as it is... you spluttered to finish with a 3-9 record to be stone cold motherless last in the Roger Wehrli Division which featured Superfreak, NDG, Sven, Skeppersap & the Division Champ, balmainforever.

Look at the names n that division.
Rename it Division of Death + Skeppersap

Kid all you like about Skeepers but the fact remains that he was in the box seat to claim the Division after Week 9... finished 4th with a 7-5 record whilst Balmainforever outlasted Sven with a 8-2-2 record vs 7-4-1 from both Sven & Superfreak.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Even the runt of the litter has his day.
EG - GG in 2008.

Has his day?? He was 2-5 for FCOL and still managed to take out seeds #6, #4 & #16 along the way before Moo (#13) just got the better him in the late games. Give GG some kudos as every match up was 'DO or DIE with no turning back impact'. Others to have a bumpy start include:

#4 seed 2009 Wizard was 2-2-2 after 6 to finish 8-2-2.
#6 seed 2011 BPG was 2-4 after 6 weeks to finish 7-5.
#8 seed 2008 danielz_23 was 2-4 after 6 to finish 9-4.

 

[Galactic]

If GG actually tipped properly (followed the status quo) he would be in the top half consistently, but he's hell bent on double or nothing underdogs. I'm sure he gets more enjoyment applying this strategy anyway, cause he's done it for years. The AE god himself should be up there as well, but I'm pretty sure he's put so much thought into each pick that he over analysed each game to the point things begin to go into meltdown (like picking the jest and at the same time putting 14 on the phins against an afc e rival that isn't as bad as their record suggests) I've honestly done my best tipping on 2 seconds thought. The Gut pick, strait up no ice.

 

[exe ex machina]

The gut pick, straight up no ice, 2 seconds time.....that's always the best way, and the way that yields the most CR points. It might not be a HRS effort, but it'll be consistently above average.

It's when the mind gets involved....flip-flopping, relying on stats or history, looking for 'systems' (like my 9 home winners), etc, that the CR scores are more extreme -- could get a HRS score one week, but you have many terrible scores and a few high scores. Not as consistent.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Typical - Game on Thursday is unlocked when the game is still going.
Games on Sunday are locked before kickoff stopping me lowering my Cowboys CR down to 3 stopping me moving up my next 4 games up 1 spot each.
