A little late for schedule changes for sure, we've had the date for basically two weeks now... where were these complaints then?


Additionally, are divisions final? It's hardly completely irrelevant with the byes and the fact there's one team you only play once this year which is obviously an out of division team
 
A little late for schedule changes for sure, we've had the date for basically two weeks now... where were these complaints then?

I only got my working schedule for this weekend yesterday. I'm going to be gone effectively from 10 AM to somewhere around 11 PM, and then possibly the same time Sunday, so I'm not gonna ask for a reschedule (unless you guys really want to do it on Monday or something).
 
the divisions are not final they are essentially random at this point, how are we assigning them?
 
Based on the above numbers that I need to edit so I'll need to edit this later too, here are what the divisions would be based on the above:

Win%

1. Teifu
4. *Aldaron
5. Vineon
8. zerowing
9. WER
NEW_PERSON

2. Green
3. *Jackal
6. *Carl
7. Psycho
NEW PERSON
NEW PERSON



And on finish, with win% as a tiebreak:

1. *Aldaron
4. Vineon
5. *Jackal
8. zerowing
9. WER
NEW_PERSON

2. Teifu
3. Gr33n
6. Psycho
7. *Carl
NEW_PERSON
NEW_PERSON

Bumping for potential division make up.

That's how you protest the G20.
 
i think doing it structured like that is a good idea, but what is more important win % or finish?
 
I dunno, I think the best way to do it is to actually randomize old and new. So, I just did a quick internet number generator with numbers assigned to vets and the 3 newbies.
So the numbers in no ranking order I came up with are:
1. Psycho
2. Teifu
3. Carl
4. Jackal
5. Wer
6. Vineon
7. Zerowing
8. Green
9. Aldaron
10. Eraddd
11. Kishimoto
12. Justin

Then based on some randomness and luck I came up with this:

Division 1
Teifu
WER
Vineon
Eraddd
Justin
Green

Division 2
Jackal
Carl
Aldaron
Psycho
Kishimoto
Zerowing

Again, just in no order but by how numbers came up, alternating between each division.

There really isnt anything wrong with doing it structured or not, but for how we ran the league these past years, we have some people who have played 3, more that have played 2, and some that have played one of the last two years and then newbies, so the ability to structure it, to me, is kind of lessened.

If you do structure it, I'd say average the position over the past two for those returning and then do something with those that have played one year.

For that, in the top 6 I would have Green, Teifu, Jackal, Carl, Myself and Aldaron. From there I guess I would do something like how they have finished each year with Teifu and Green being the top two in the regular season for two years and then Carl and Aldaron going one side and Jackal and Myself going to another.

I came up with, for this method:

Division 1
Teifu
Psycho
Jackal
Zerowing
Eradd
Kishimoto


Division 2
Green
Carl
Aldaron
WER
Vineon
Justin

And then from there, ranking our other players and splitting them up so divisons are even.

These are just divisions I through together without much thought, but feel free to use them and or comment, suggest or change them as anyone sees fit.
 
Yeah, it's the same as always except the byes go to the division winners, and then after that the top 4 point scorers get 3-6. It's worth noting the finals are only one week this year because of the olympics truncating the schedule, as well.
 
Wow irony, I might not be able to make the draft today. I have to go out to eat for my cousin's birthday (which is strange since it passed like a few months ago).

Not ironic. Just a twist of fate =/

Shit happens in life, stuff we can't avoid or control. I might be alone, but I have no problem with this.

I'm wondering who the first pick will be.
 
Alex Ovechkin. Same as it is, every single year. ever.

Some guys picked Malkin and then Crosby in one of my leagues last year. (Still I didn't really know them in real life (friends hooked me up on a random league). They could've been mentally handicapped so...)
 
Team play after the draft tonight! It better happen.

Edit: I paid the $3 for the Offensive Defenseman boostpack and it gave me like 10-15 attribute points for deflections(the largest boost out of all the other stats)??????? How useful. Not.

Nah it's ironic because I was complaining (for a lack of a better word) that others couldn't make it.
