You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Well I won't be getting mine in until 2nd week if august at the earliest, off to Ireland for 10 days starting this weekend
@MilkSpiller22
Based on Treff's vacation, what if we made the lists due Monday August 15?
That would also eliminate some of the typical camp/pregame injuries.
If you recall, Wil had to creatively adjust late submissions last year for some injury causalities.

I actually don't understand why we have a deadline so early... I wouldn't mind making it September 1st or second...

Becuase virtually everyone drafts before then, in many cases, well before then. I'd be all for something like the second or third week of preseason though.

Hey, your running the deal, up to you how to run it

I love cake. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it sucks. Either way, it is always a topic of interest.

Cake is my tribute to Milk. :D

GOT ROOM FOR ONE MORE ????
Let's make this official.
Milk has agreed to monitor the Annual Rankings Game.
It's simple. Just provide your top 24 QB, 36 RB and 36 WR.
But your list is based on how they finish. (Not how you would draft them.)
In keeping with tradition, the lists are generally due the first Monday in August.
That's up to Milk if he wants to honor that date since it will be a lot of work to compile everyone's submissions.
Here's the gist of the scoring:
would use 4 different scoring systems
  1. #of correct players in pool- if we are ranking 32 RBs, i want to know how many players you picked that were in the top 32- order does not matter...
  2. differential- player ranked 32 but you ranked him 1 would be a differential of 31. we use absolute values, and the maximum score is one number over the the number of players to rank
  3. how many picks you got exactly right
  4. how many top 5 correct, top 10, top 20....
then i take the 4 scores and combine them somehow...

...and anyone else?

@MilkSpiller22 also as a reminder, Wil used to also include ADP from that date, as well as ESPN and CBS rankings. I guess it's up to you if you want to include them too. Personally, I'd like to see FantasyPros' ECR on the list.

I'd be interested if you have room for one more. .....

according to chef, whose idea was paying tribute you have to rate my post "cake" as a tribute...

But of course you are in no matter what....

I was thinking for the overall ranking to include PPG

whats your thoughts about that

what I am thinking is I can prorate there season to 16 games and take the average of their prorated season and their actual season....

I feel like this would make a more accurate ranking than just their actual season...
