crispirons Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 i have seven teams and had 4 winners. 1 off the pace. i think my strategy of garage sale teams might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Missed my Jets....even though it was a loss so I guess it doesn't really matter. Just wanted to let you know in case your formula for the J-E-T-S was incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Zia, pretty cool! It's a marathon, not a sprint! I don't mind breaking with 4 wins tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Very impressive Zia. Thanks for the update! A 4 out of the starting gate is nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy n Dirty Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 2-4, not good. Given the way the teams were priced, seems to make sense that an average score at year end would be about 50 wins, maybe 49 since many entries did not spend the full $500. So I would think that on a weekly basis, a decent threshhold to meaure yourself against would be about 3 wins per week as a roughly "average" score...maybe slightly higher in the opening and clising weeks, and slightly lower in the middle weeks when the byes take place.

Zia Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 ok, finally updated with the monday night game. also added a 2nd htm page of it. less load time, less "microjunk" due to not exporting excel to htm, but also less cute looks, no links, a bit less viewability. http://www.zijlstra.at/portfolio.htm for the larger but cuter version http://www.zijlstra.at/portfolio2.htm for the smaller version enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zia Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 updates on both versions will be done today when i get home. past week 5 (4+ games for every team) i will put in prognosis charts. i need input on what numbers i should base the formulae? win %? score differentials? win/loss ration of schedule thrown against the win/loss ratio of the team? some help there please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zia Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 both versions updated. anyone some ideas on the prognpsis formula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 As far as prognosis I'd like to see a "best potential final score". For example, after tonight's game I'll have 8 correct with 14 weeks left. I also have 6 teams. So 14 X 6 = 84 + 8 = 92 as a best potential final score. As the weeks og on this will become probably the best indication of who still has a shot left at winning. Also, would it be possible to sort the grid alphabetically by huddle name? It's a real beotch to hunt down my stuff all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zia Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 i will see about the sorting thing, but i doubt i will manage that. problem is that while it would be no problem to sort the names, one has to sort the added data to that name too, and this blocks of text/data do vary since people have 5-8 (9?) teams, which makes their data-set diffferent. but we will see...., i work on that and i see your point in using a formulae based on our games data, and i will see how this might work, but we DO live off real NFL scores, so i am still working to find a prognosis way based on the real teams scores/chances, although it might be even tougher to do update for the 2 monday games when i get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zia Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 updated with the monday games. added a lil feature at the top of the "big" version that shows the leader(s) score. still trying to figure out a sorting feature. also working on the prognosis thing still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Wouldn't it be based on the best ratio of wins vs. losses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zia Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) thats true billay, but then should I take the schedule ahead also into account? something like (team A win ration thru 4 games)*4 +/- (upcoming 12 opponents win ratio below/above .500) example: a 2-2 team thru 4 weeks has 12 oppos to go, and those have only accumulated 16 wins is bound to do better then .500 over the season (24 wins would be a 0.500 schedule across the board after 4 weeks for 12 teams). whatever, its just a little mind game i play with myself, my logic and excel skills. dont get bothered too much Edited September 21, 2005 by Zia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zia Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 page updated with sunday games. scores will look/be a bit whacky since bye weeks started... monday games will be updated in about 24 hours. scores seem a bit low to me, are we all THAT off?
