Good weeks for Dynamite Brie and Supremely ***** again. Well done guys.

I've had a mare with 6 wins. Hoping I can get to 7 with tonight's game.

Will post up the scores later.

After a promising start my season has gone to **** and now sit mid-table.

Plenty of players have missed games and weeks which has obviously effected their scores. I reckon FJ would still be up there if it wasn't for fatherhood!

Anyway well done Indy still topping the table.

EL Hawks - 76-74
Supremely ***** 72-62
LeeMacca1973 71-79
Mondo Gringo 70-80
RAM A DAM 69-81
Muller Corners 67-83
Bacterial Vaginosis 58-75
Basingae Beavers 55-64
Olly's Nation 54-65
Dynamite Brie 54-53
R99c 12-20

Never have I seen so many with more losses than wins (on the spread). Really unpredictable season.

One week left and I think I can safely say that WHU Independent has won it. Well done mate. In a year with so many surprising score lines to get so many right is incredible imo.

I actually had a good week for a change, and it’s jumped me up to 3rd. Hopefully I can stay there after next week!

Shame a few people forgot to pick on certain weeks and we lost two, especially FJ who was smashing it before his baby arrived.

I’ll post up the final scores next week.

Cheers,

Dave

WHUI, in a tuxedo, mounts the stage and picks up the KUMB PP trophy.

He begins speaking: "First of all I'd like to thank my agent, my staff, my stats team, my fans and my players for helping me win, for a second time, KUMB's PP. I couldn't have done it without you all.

I think my all encompassing knowledge of American Football, my dedication to reviewing all the stats available and in game ITK contacts was the secret to my success
." WHUI lifts the tropy aloft and leaves....


All joking aside,I won by pure luck (again). As my final week selection shows, if I would have continued like that I would have come last overall. Thanks to everyone who competed for being great sports and to the organisers for sorting it out - it was great fun. I'm deffo in for next season.

Cheers!

See you again next season.

BTW what exactly is "Scrimmage" yardage, I've never known what that is ? :)

Line of Scrimmaage is the line where the ball is snapped from.

if e.g. a running back runs for 5 yards he's gained 5 yards from the line of scrimmage

similarly if there's a tackle or a sack behind the line (obviously a sack is behind the line) they're now x amount of yards behind the line of scrimmage (the original line from where the ball was/should have been snapped) 1st down is ALWAYS the original line of scrimmage which of course changes i.e. make a new 1st down and wherever that new 1st down now is, is the new Line of Scrimmage.

hope that confused the **** out of you !!!

when you watch the next game see if you can apply this logic. turn the sound down, work it out, and then turn the sound up and see if the announcer and you agree. if you don't HE'S wrong !!!!!

A terrible week but it didn't matter as you were so far ahead. Muller Corners had a stonker, luckily for me I just scored enough (7) to beat him by a point.

Will do again next season if we can get enough players. And enough players who don't forget to make their picks (or just give up!)

cheers for setting this up CB ... it was a bit of fun, as I am still learning about American Football and tried to see how quickly I could make selections each week, generally about 20-30 seconds.

I will be up for it next year. :thup:

Just to add - they are actually doing the Play offs for the 1st time, so if you want to continue playing for a bit longer get involved :thup:
