LOTO FINALS LEAGUE 05'

I think you're going to have to carry on a little while longer Robert, as you have the combined league totals and tie breaker criteria to determine overall standings. Once you do that, I can set up a league and administer the stadium draft (as long as people here have patience :lol: )

[cirills]

Ditto! :)

My wife took the table in my room that had all the stats on it from the earlier league and lost the papers I had on it. So I will have to go thru a bunch of paper later on to find it. There were several tiebreakers from The LOTO II A LEAGUE and I haven't checked to see if Penn ousted either Ineluki or Edge yet.

I have just been so busy working doubles the past 2 weeks, while simultaneously trying to follow up on my LIFEWAVE Business with Major League Baseball and the 3 of the Phoenix Sports Franchises, that I haven't had much time at all.

But I do have a link to the LOTO II B League that Big sent me halfway thru the season. The problem is locating the LOTO I Stats - Which were all listed on the OLD Message Boards. It's just a lot of mix and match coordination, which I could have done simply had my wife not lost those sheets of paper I had everything written on. But i'll try to do it late tonite when the house is quiet.

Thanks everyone for helping out.

LOTO III 05' FINAL 12

1. Qksilver 181-143 +38
2. APisano 180-144 +37
3. CATom 171-153 +18
4. Kaviksdad 169-155 +14
4. JaserD 169-155 +14
5. Dneedle1 168-156 +12
5. J-PAV 168-156 +12
6. Sandlot 167-157 +10
7. Jeep 166-158 +8
7. Cubs48' 166-158 +8
8. Ineluki 165-159 +6
8. Edge 165-159 +6

So as you can see, there are 4 tiebreakers that should be determined between each set on their own. I have no criteria set up for tiebreakers other than Head to Head play. But I would prefer to leave that up to the 8 players who find themselves involved in the 4 tiebreakers. If you can figure it out by looking up your league records against each other, that can be the 1st and other tiebreaker other than Lottery picks. Because we played in mix and match leagues(Based upon individual records), there may be some teams who didn't even get to play each other.

So if any 2 players involved can look up your teams record against each other. The team with the better record in h2H will have the higher pick. Otherwise, use a lottery pick.

Note that aside from Kav and Jaser thru Edge - only 4 games separated the next 10 teams and only 9 games separated Kav thru TRich - with Ty, Jamie and Alphonso just 2 more back.

I'd say that was pretty close in 324 games played...Only myself, Big, Cubit and Freak were basically out of the Finals race the last 30 games of LOTO II.

So the parity factor seemed to work. Next year, we will be adding 12 to 24 more players and adding a round.

Altho, winning LOTO I League B and not making the Finals, I still thoroughly enjoyed the level of competition here. I wish I could have pulled of a huge surge down the stretch(As did Jeep) to make the Final 12, but aside from my own disappointment, I still believe the rules based upon record from LOTO I and II to create a Finals League were ones I would employ again. So congratulations to the 12 Finalists and Good Luck in your pursuit of the LOTO Championship.

The Bottom 12:

1. Cristano 164-160 +4
2. ET 162-162 +0
3. Penn 161-163 -2
4. Jamesgang 160-164 -4
4. TRich 160-164 -4
5. Tycobb 159-165 -6
6. Alphonso 158-166 -8
6. Jamie 158-166 -8
7. Swpsychic 154-170 -16
8. Bigmahon 147-177 -30
8. Cubit 147-177 -30
9. Freak 124-200 -76

Special congrats to AP, whose 104-58 record I believe is a LOTO best.

So let the tiebreakers be settled and anyone who wishes in the Finals League may come forth and set up the League.

I will setup a consolation League for anyone interested in playing from the bottom 12 sometime between tomorrow and next Wednesday. I'd be surprised if members from this group didn't have some credits to burn.

But for now I am calling it a day. :wink: SWP

[JdEarly]

All right, SWP, here I am... ready to sacrifice myself at the altar of the much more experienced Strat-o players. The entrance rules are a little fuzzy to me, but I am undoubtedly interested in joining, should something open up.

[kaviksdad]

I did the tiebreaker between Jaser and I, who only met in League A of the 2nd round. Unfortunately, Jaser handled my team pretty well, so I lose the tiebreaker.

Jeep and Cubs met in League A of Round 1. They split head to head at 6 wins apiece. Jeep had a better overall record, won a division, and scored more runs, so on the basis of that I believe he should win the tiebreaker. But that can be decided by the rest of you.

Edge and Ineluki met in League A of Round 2. Edge took the head to head meetings 14 to 10.

Daniel and JPav met in both Rounds, in League B of Round 1 and League A of Round 2. JPav took the tiebreaker in Round 2 14-10. I don't know the head to head record in Round 1, so their final rankings depend on their head to head match ups there.

So the updated rankings are (pending league approval of my decision on the tiebreaker between Jeep & Cubs, and head to head records between Daniel and JPav in Round 1 League B):

[Cubs48]

Kav...I've got no problem regarding your decision between Jeep and Cubs48 (me)... :)

[ROBERTVOZZA]

Thanks Kav, Jeep picks 9th and Scott 10th. I was in with J and Daniel in round 1 and will check and report back. Much appreciated. SW

JD, you are definitely one of the Rooks getting an invitation. Riggodrill is the 1st alternate in the LOTO III consolation League if anyone declines, but if you like, I will make you the 2nd if anyone else does.

Get back shortly. :)

[kaviksdad]

Thanks -

Since one of the involved has no objections, I'll remove the PENDING from Cubs & Jeep, and we can get this stadium draft going.
