Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

And here I thought that being commissioner of the league game him almost god-like powers.:gary

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Matt's right, I was just thinking out loud, looking at other ways we could do the loser's bracket next year.
The way I mentioned could be set up inside Yahoo and it'd do everything automatically, not that we need to do it that way.
Cole has been taking care of all the Commish duties, and doing a damn fine job of it. He's gonna take care of the whole loser's bracket thing, so I'm 100% behind him, however he wants to do it.

We're gonna try it just like Cole mentioned, see how it plays out, and then make note here so we can squish it into the ever-expanding rulebook next year. :)

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

We also need to discuss what we're going to do with the pass.
Cole says it's slap full and it'd be a good idea to retrieve some or all of my sticks. It should be to me soon and I'll decide what to do. I'll refill it with whatever we need in there, supplies-wise.

There's what, a good two months of football left?
I'd think it can easily go all the way around and back to me before the season is over. We can pick a time to shut it down till next season fires up, or carry on with whoever wants to continue. Whatever you guys want, it makes no difference.

I was thinking we should start up the next FF season very early to poll guys to see if they want back in, allowing us time to find good, established members as replacements if necessary. That's just something to mull over for awhile. We don't even need to look at it until maybe Super Bowl?

That's all I have. If you guys have any other thoughts for changes or improvements to the league, you can toss them out there any time. Guys can mull over the suggestions and we can discuss them around Super Bowl time to get ready for next year. :tu

It's been a crazy awesome league this year, and I think the pass really added some extra fun to it. I hope it helps to make guys hang around.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I texted Scott. He's in on the bet.
For Cole's sanity, Coach, Matt, Scott and I all agree that whoever does not win the championship will donate a troop bundle.
Great bet, guys. :tu

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Wow Scott got a lil windy there! :D

Ok, all is well...here is the plan:
For sanity sake, and because Scott was mulling over ideas for next year, I am just going to do the consolation bracket the way I stated before. All 6 teams get a shot, 3 top scoring teams move on to next week...the top scorer from week 17 will be the 1st place looser :D He will get a "special" prize from Shilala!!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I love the idea of keeping this going at least one more pass before the end of the season...then, I think Scott (speaking from total assumptions) has room to keep the sticks in good shape until the next season starts.

As for what to do with the pass for the next go round...I suggest a few things (please weigh in and let Scott know which would be better):
1.) I sent Scott the Excel file that has all the sticks listed on it...it has his remaining sticks listed on it, and which ones were taken in the first two passes...I suggest he take out the remaining sticks from his original puts, because the pass is starting to take fine shape now with everyone dropping a couple extra sticks in each go round.
2.) Have Scott leave everything in the pass except for his next round of puts and takes, but get a new styrofoam cooler and box, so we can fit more sticks in...this suggestion would require additional $$ for someone to ship the box insured.

There are goods and bads for each scenario...for #1, I want more of Scott's original sticks :D
#2, it costs more money to keep moving...

What do you all think?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Got it brother :tu

And good job to all 4 guys for taking on this idea! :tu

Best of luck (F&$%ers for making it into playoffs) to all of you :r

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I think the pass should be self-sustaining now without Scott's sticks.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

:D

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

REMATCH!!! Last years finals replayed...a chance for revenge for Scott Shilala:D

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

So, for the consolation bracket, round 1, the three highest points scorers were:

Jarrod (jenksanejo) 209.8
Jeremy (jkim05) 206.8 (I added up the points based on Jeremy's lineup...since yahoo didn't provide a matchup with him)
Cole (chaase321) 202.8

Good luck to jarrod and Jeremy...you can't beat me!!!
Oh and go figure we out score all top 4 teams this week!

Good luck to all!

Scott, your team better show up this week against Matt!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Cole, I haven't kept a list of the entry sticks and I'm too lazy to go downstairs and check the tub.
Do we have everyone but Matt's sticks now?

Matt, you need to get your entry sticks in the mail. I can't possibly create the 3 prizes for the winners if I don't even have all the entries. If you already put them in the mail, let me know. If you haven't, you might want to so guys don't get pissed when they don't get their prizes. :tu

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'm going to put a bundle for the troops on my bro in the championships. I'll text him to see if he has sent his smokes in yet.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I have not received to pass yet has it been mailed?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Entry sticks on the way! Only 3 months late.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'll text Jeremy again and see where they are at.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Standing in line to drop entry sticks/ troop balance sticks off.

Jarrod is in a bind. Ray Rice is supposed to sit today. Freakin OUCH!!!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Shhhhh!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Now they say Rice is gonna go. Hmmmm....

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Taking this down to the wire, Scott.

Congrats Bro!! 2 straight CAFF Championships!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Cole, did you end up winning the consolation championship? I can't see Jeremy's score from my phone.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

So here is what I have for the final betting balances for what people still owe. This already takes into account what you have paid (if you you let me know)

Mattso3000 owes 40 troops sticks
Shilala has a balance of 4 sticks...paid too many before
Sofaman owes 35 troops sticks
Coach Deg owes 20 troops sticks
Jenksanejo owes 15 troops sticks
Chaase321 owes 15 troops sticks
Mkarnold1 owes 15 troops sticks
TDsandbeeradvocate (Travis) owes 0 troops sticks
Stephen owes 10 troops sticks (check this shilala...he may have paid it when he paid you the personal 5er from week 9)
Jkim05 owes 0 troops sticks

Please post a DC when these are sent to Scott (shilala). Also let us know if you need Scott's address.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Payouts from the league will be coming from Scott (Shilala) once he receives all entries (I think he is just waiting on Jeremy and Matt to come in)

Mattso3000 champion 30 sticks from buy in
Shilala runner-up 20 sticks from buy in
Sofaman (by 0.1 points) 10 sticks from buy in

Chaase321 winner of consolation bracket (196.7 points, jenks 151.1 points, jkim05 129.9) 5'er from shilala personal stash

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I sent Scott 20 sticks for the troops right around the beginning of the season.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

So since it is going to be really difficult for me to add up all the troops sticks raised...we will have to wait for Scott to do a final tally after everything has been received...but here is my guess anyway...:

290 in bets
60 in entries

at least 350 sticks!!!

Way to go everyone!! That's one hell of a season for the troops!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Sweet...did that include the 6 for your entry?

I think we are gonna have well over the 350 when it is said and done because I think I sent more than the required 6 for entry too. Thanks for letting me know Stephen!!

I'll keep a spreadsheet next year so all can run just a little smoother!!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Yeah, I just sent him 20 (which left 14 for wagering).

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Cool. Then you are good. Thanks!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I received Matt and Jarrod's smokes the other day. I haven't opened them up, but plan to tomorrow.
If I have everything, I'll try to get everybody's winnings packed up and down the road. I may not beat the mailman tomorrow, but at worst I should have them out by the end of the week. I'll let you guys know when I get them sent.

I'll get you an update tomorrow on sticks received, Cole. :tu

What an awesome FF league this was this year. Great parity and excellent competition.
It was crazy how I got just the right match ups at just the right times, getting just enough wins to slide in and pull one out of my ass.
Stephen and Jeremy had just the opposite luck. They'd have a great week and get hammered by someone who had their best game of the year. It must have been maddening for them.
I'm shocked that Matt and I ended up playing in the Super Bowl again. The odds for that to happen must have been a brazilian to one.
I am SO gonna miss this until next year, it was insanely fun!!!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Thanks again for running the league again this year Scott! The troop bets make this the best league I'm in hands down. Doesn't hurt that I've won twice now :D

Congrats to you for taking 2nd place, to Scott on the third place finish and Cole for taking the consolation bracket!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Thanks Shilala! I think that it's a combination of troop sticks, the pass, and having this forum to smack talk on that make this the most entertaining FF league that I am in.

And you do also have fantasy baseball, so you don't need to wait too long.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Cole, I believe there were 28 troop sticks all together in my box. Not sure if that changes your number or not, but just wanted to let you guys know! What a fun year this was, Scott thanks for taking the time to run this thing!

Congrats to the winners!

Can't wait to kick Scott and Marks ass in baseball next year! (Mark beat me out of the playoffs last year). :)

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops

Mattso3000 owes 40 troops sticks...paid 15, owes 25

Sofaman owes 35 troops sticks...included 50 sticks with entry, all paid

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Ok, so I have the box pass, sorry I've been AWOL, and haven't gotten it out, but in any case it is packed up and I'm getting it in the mail. I didn't do any puts and takes, but I did go through the cigars to make sure everything looked ok.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I got the prizes all packed up today. They'll be going with the mail lady tomorrow.

Matt asked for me to drop a fiver of his sticks on Cole as a Thank You for running the league. Very nice gesture, Matt. Thank You!!! :tu
I sent Cole the consolation bracket fiver that I donated at the beginning of the year. I split stuff up as evenly as possible, and in my prize there were only a handful I figured I'd smoke, so I sent the rest to Cole as a Thank You for running the league this year. He certainly deserves it, he's done a hell of a job with everything, including keeping excellent records on the Pass. Thank You, Cole!!! :tu

The final tally was:
25 sticks to Matt, our Champion.
9 sticks to me, Second Place.
10 to Scott for Third Place
21 to Cole for Consolation and Thank You's.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Thanks brothers, I enjoyed doing it :tu
Looking forward to next year and being even more organized with this. Grats to everyone who won.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Thanks Jeremy...we were all getting a little worried, but if this is going to move to Scott (Sofaman) all is well. After Scott, it goes back to Scott (Shilala) at that time, I will be doing another PM for anyone that wants to keep going with this. I wouldn't mind doing it one more time before we hang it up until the 2013 preseason.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Scott...my troops sticks are on their way to you, DC # 9405 5036 9930 0271 2486 05

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

The Mailman has come and gone today and still no pass

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Sorry brother...coming from DC these shouldn't take more than a day or 2 to get to you. Hopefully they show tomorrow.

Was a delivery confirmation ever mentioned?
