I think there might be something wrong with column N on the 120M_Data tab. It appears that the winning percentages for the teams with count of 1 don't match the associated team winning percentages in column G, which appear to be correct.

EDIT: it appears that it's looking up the records of each owner's 110M teams.

Thanks. I will update that tab when I send out the morning standings. Am out tonight and won't get home until very late.

I think something is certainly wrong. It keeps showing me in like 65th place. None of my teams are .500 so clearly something is wrong...hahahaha.

Standings posted. We have a new round 1 leader.

Also, in the Data tabs, I changed the sort order on the teams from alphabetical to winning%. It's interesting to see what strategies the top teams used. For example, in the 110M theme, seven of the eight 1908 Ed Walsh teams are among the top 15 overall, including 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th & 8th overall.

The top two 140M teams used Clayton Kershaw as their 5-cloned player.

In the 100M theme, although it's clear teams with a high cookie score are doing better than teams with a low cookie score, it's interesting that the #1 ranked team (dvorr80) has a low cookie score and is the only team in the top 15 with a low score. (I also just added a section for teammate usage. Not surprisingly, this list is mostly RPs).

“For example, in the 110M theme, seven of the eight 1908 Ed Walsh teams are among the top 15 overall, including 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th & 8th overall.”

Ill give you a guess as to who that 8th Walsh owner is.

Schwarze, would you have time to update the "luck" tab?

Sure. I just need to get all the commissioners to post the Advanced Standings of their 6 leagues. (There is no way for me to see the Advanced Standings of the leagues I'm not in).

For some reason through G153, 2-C (80M) only has 151 games while every other league has the actual 153...

Thanks for the heads up. I will re-run.

Going out of town today and back late tomorrow. Standings updates may be sporadic.

Just curious...if anyone has access to the stats of all of the WISC's over the years: Of the 24 individuals who make it to Round Two, what's the farthest someone has climbed up the ranks to win the whole thing?

I can tell you that last year I finished tied for 12th after Round 1 regular season with 535 wins and four playoff teams. (As an aside - with one game to go, I am currently sitting 12th with 530 wins and four confirmed playoff teams - bonus points for consistency??)

Anyways, I was beyond confident I was making Round 2. But then I proceeded to win three games total among those four playoff teams that were all obviously eliminated in the first round. I then watched in horror as all the owners below me slowly crept up with continued playoff wins. I ended up sliding to 25th and would have missed the cage. However, unfortunately marinerott was not able to continue and I snuck in as an alternate.

To your question, I then entered the second round in dead last. However, I was the only one in Round 2 to field 5 playoff teams and I had moved from 24th to 6th. With moderate playoff success I still had a good chance at the title. However, those teams flamed out similar to the Round 1 squads.

But takeaways - there are still lots of people in the running for the cage. Playoffs do matter. And, as long as you end up making the cage everyone still has a chance to win.

My first time in the cage, I think I was in the high-30s when playoffs started. I managed to win 2 WS (the last in 7 games, after blowing a 3-0 lead), that put me over the top.

An alternate at 24th place - to finish sixth overall...definitely an accomplishment.

I didn’t finish 6th. I got up to sixth at the end of round 2 regular season and within striking distance of the leaders and then completely bombed the playoffs again. But it shows a last to first reversal is possible.
