Hello All,

A bit of housekeeping:

Round 6 will be posted shortly (tonight). I am in the midst of tallying up Round 5, and will have it post it this weekend I hope. I will also be posting how many points are possible as @Quality Is Job 1 suggested. It is a good idea. 

Once again, I apologize for the obvious delays. The last few weeks of the semester of my first year of grad school are kicking my butt more than I anticipated, and thus I have been a bit behind. 

No need to apologize, thanks again for putting this together! And good luck with the end of your semester!!!

Sounds good!!! 

One question- If the top 10 make the second round, does that include ties?

Yes. So right now, there are 21 people in the top 10 including ties that would make the tournament. I anticipate that that number will decline as rounds 4, 5 and onward are counted. 

The number of individual participants that would be making the tournament right now is a bit higher that what I anticipated, but I don't want to change it now that the league is in full swing. If that number doesn't regulate on its own come March, I will look to lower the number of places that get into the tournament for next season.

@615Billiken, I believe you made a clerical error in Round 6.  Georgia Southern beat George Mason, and I and wgstl had a perfect round while sluhomer missed that pick.

Good Catch! I adjusted my spreadsheet and edited the standings. Thanks for keeping my honest.

No problem.  Thanks for all of your work.  I, too, was surprised to see you'd not submitted your own picks for Round 6.  And we've had some attrition.  Maybe some fans are frustrated because of the "situation."

[The Wiz]

Looks like slufan13 is actually tied for 7th....if that is the case everyone should move up a spot and then Taj would be included.

I'm not too surprised by the attrition. I would say we have 22 consistent players (minus maybe a week missed which I attribute to accident), which is the approximate number that I anticipated having. Many more members 'registered' than what I expected, but many of those were rare posters that I would have been surprised to see go through with the season. 

The one adjustment that I will for sure make for next year is reducing the number of tournament spots. 10 spots made sense considering the 30+ people that signed up, but I think 5-7 makes more sense with the number of consistent players.

[BillsBeliever!!!]

Did MattyMo forget to do round 7 or does he private message them to you?

[wgstl]

Im the best ever

I think he forgot to do round 7. Hopefully he will come back around.

I have to do a bit of auditing to ensure I didn't miss anything or screw anything up since I had a little Microsoft Excel mishap but I believe these are accurate. I will edit and tag necessary people if I find anything.

Haha, I’m still trying to recover for forgetting to predict a damn round. I didn’t realize I didn’t submit until counting up the round and couldn’t believe it.
