Just don't call me Steely McBeme...

All I did was copy and paste into Excel the numbers from the original thread in the swamp, sorted by player name, and do some summation functions. Could the numbers have been adjusted after they were posted and not updated in the thread? Can you send me a detailed list for a couple of the players in question so I can identify the discrepancies?

If not, I'll just delete my post, and go with yours as official. Getting you to post these numbers was my main goal anyway, so my work here is done. ;)

No adjustments have been made as far as I know.

I went by checking Keith, since he's on your team and that's part of where your discrepancy comes from

So,

For Duncan Keith
1.70
1.7
3.25
1.7
-----
8.35 total

Sergei Gonchar, I think is the other discrepancy you and I had
6.0
0.75
5.0
9.75
0.75
-----
22.25


Let's see, we can try a few others that you and I had wrong

Christian Ehrhoff
5.25
1.7
1.7
7.75
----
16.4

I too use an Excel spreadsheat and summation formulas. you should check the numbers you have entered. they may be wrong

I never had any point discrepancies when I used a calculator and pencil. I'm just saying...

you can stay out of this.

we're not having point discrepancies

i've double checked my work against your numbers. i'm correct


beme is just wrong. i believe his error is human error in inputting his numbers into his own spreadsheet :)

I would go with this because as men, we all know that a woman is never wrong. :p

I figured out my error. Told you it was me. When I did the sorting, I didn't notice that the "remove duplicates" option had been turned on from a previous project I had been working on. So for instance, with Keith, 2 entries of 1.7 became only one. Similarly with the other players.

Like I said, I'll just delete my post.

it was human error in not noticing a single checkbox in the sort options. :)

If I didn't get the numbers correct in the first place, ducky wouldn't have the chance to have all her numbers be correct. Although I can vouch for ducky (she's a genius and never wrong), in this case she is correct because I was correct to begin with. She cannot get ALL the credit, after all, it's my pool...

I took one for the team. I had to be wrong in order to verify that everyone else was right. ;)

EXACTAMUNDO!

And, hey, I'm doing the majority of the work over here! :)

Ok, so, your pool, you get about 25% credit, I get the other 75%

I know, thanks again Esls for doing the pool.

So it's your fault I'm in last place? We'll, it's 3/4 your fault off the top, 1/8 your fault for inspiring me to pick the team I did and 3/16 your fault for convincing me to use spreadsheets this season. Add that all up and what do you get...
