Omniscience League I - Main Thread

[wilwhite]

Somehow I let it set waivers to run at 9 am ET instead of 9 pm. Just set it to run at 9:20 pm ET today. FYI.

 

[wilwhite]

Wait, never mind... waivers run tomorrow (Sunday) at 9 ET. Was looking at the entirely wrong thing.

So the schedule maker in this league seriously sucks (@wilwhite) as I have no chance to win the next four weeks if I'm playing against optimal lineups and they will score an average of 152 points against me without even picking anybody up. I just don't see how it's possible to overcome that.

Win the last seven weeks?

Not even looking that far in advance it was too depressing so I quit.

with 6 teams making the playoffs their is always an outside shot to make it... the pros and cons of using a traditional scheduling...

i bet 500 is going to make the playoffs in this league...

 

[wilwhite]

It's not really a traditional schedule in that you can see the results of your opponent as the draft is happening.

Like as soon as Sam drafted Taylor, Molsan knew his week 11 was done. I could see some of my opponents getting stacked on the weeks I play them, and tried to take those weeks out of consideration when drafting.

If we do this again, I think we'll do a mini preliminary two round snake "draft," where instead of just selecting your draft position you select your draft position and your division/schedule. Teams A through L with their divisions and schedules would already be set up, so you can say, "I select Team F" in the first round and "I select the third pick" in the second round, or vice-versa. That way nobody can complain about the schedule!

And probably do it without trades, and have the season itself go much, much faster.

This game definitely favors those who keep track and are active. (It's more demanding than even I anticipated in that regard.) And then there are questions of strategy.

@femurov, you didn't set your line up; let me know what you wanted and I'll fix it so you can properly clobber me, but please set lineups, guys - I think a couple of you left points on the table but not enough to change the outcome.

I'll update standings after a bit - so let me know!

@femurov's updated score is 123.58, so he demolishes me as expected.

Not to be stupid. Why when I go to my team, go to "week 4", does it just keep showing their cumulative stats for the season

That control is only useful for showing who your opponent is that week.

You have to select "2021 Regular Season - Dates" under "Stats" and put in the actual dates encompassing week 4. (See post #3 here for a list.)

Waivers are up and run at 9:00 ET!

 

[HaroldSeattle]

@molsaniceman looks like you did your home work.

 

[tlance]

Waiver order is messed up

I was ahead of Molsan and Sam when the week started.

Molsan and I both made 2 claims, but somehow he jumped ahead of me on the 2nd 1?

He didn’t take my guy, so no issue there, but I should be ahead of him for next time.

And it might matter there.
