From tastewar at alum.mit.edu Mon Jan 2 13:42:25 2017 From: tastewar at alum.mit.edu (Tom Stewart) Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2017 13:42:25 -0500 Subject: [PoolPlayers] Fin. Message-ID: That's all she wrote, folks! The season has ended. And what a season!! The pool's official statistician, Dusty, will correct me if I'm mistaken, but I don't recall a season like this one, where one player (Emma!) was on top of the season standings board for so long!! Emma had a rough week 1, coming in way down at 3rd place, but in week 2 she ascended to the throne and never looked back! Wowza! Congrats to Emma, the Queen of the Pool for the 2016/17 season! Emma ends up 14 points ahead of her mom, who for the umpteenth time comes in 2nd. Luke also had an amazing season, although he diddled around for 3 weeks before settling in at #2. Of course, #2 in this case is also #1 in the Friends competition, so Congratulations, Luke, for another victory for the plaque! Keeping it All in the Family... The full slate of stats leads to other awards that I like to "hand out." Sometimes, other folks earn top marks in statistical categories that are *similar *to winning the pool. Sometimes, another player might have more weeks at the top of the weekly standings, etc. But Emma was pretty dominant this year. Other awards of interest (to me) include: - Most correct picks/Best pick % -- tie between Luke and Natalie, with 165 games (65%) - Most consistent weekly performer -- Dusty (6th place, std dev 3.049; 11.4 pts, 1.375 std dev) - The Gambler (Highest % Points from Upsets) -- David (40.7%) - Most Conservative (opposite of above) -- Natalie (15.2%) Feel free to make your own nominations; just send them to the mailing list! If anyone wants, I will mail you the spreadsheets with the raw data. Also, I've put up a couple of web pages with some summary stats and graphs: http://tastewar.com/ss2016.htm http://tastewar.com/ws2016.htm Happy New Year, everyone! --Tom P.S. please also state (i.e. mail to the list) if you are interested in a playoff pool. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: OK, folks, the playoff pool is up and running for anyone interested. No obligation; not that there ever is. First game kicks off Saturday at 4:35 p.m. You know the drill. And a postmortem to the regular season. For those who don't know me well, I am *not* a huge football fan, but I enjoy running the pool. At best I would be able to tell you how the Pats did in their most recent game, and where they are in the standings. So I have one main goal in entering picks in the pool -- to ensure, every week, that the process is working. I do this before sending out the email saying that it's ready. This does not mean that everything is guaranteed to work, though. I have on occasion (including once this season) entered the wrong entry deadline, cutting off the pool an hour early. I don't think it affected anyone, though. A few folks reported that they did make picks, but they didn't make it into the system. These reports were scattered, and I am inclined to chalk them up to cockpit error (yes, that means *you!* ;-) ). My secondary goal was to demonstrate the futility of thinking at length about picks, and trying to outguess the experts. My feeling has been that all the info needed is neatly summarized in the point spread. There is *real money* behind those numbers, so the people who have something to lose have done whatever analysis there is to be done in coming up with the point spreads. Neither you nor I are going to have better info than these folks. So my picks have always been done based solely on the point spread, and our underdog bonus system, not even taking into account my Pats fandom (no comments, all you non-New Englanders!) when making picks, much to Susan's chagrin. Now, I *do* prepare the pick sheet on Tuesday morning (generally...), and I have on occasion reminded folks that things *can* change during the week, so it's possible to get an edge by looking at the *current* point spread when making your picks, if you do so later in the week. If someone was injured, or unexpectedly became available, or if snow is newly predicted in Miami thus favoring a visiting northern team, etc., you can take advantage of that. In any case, my name on the trophy many times over, I think, has proven the point, but I was discouraged from simply withdrawing as a player, so this year I tried a new system for fun. The main consideration for me has been to have a system that requires zero, or little, thought, and that the system have some rational basis behind it. This year I used picks from http://www.mcs.sdsmt.edu/rwjohnso/nfl/nflrank.html starting in week 3 (because his system needs some input before generating projected winners), which didn't work out all that well in terms of my finishing place (last among those who managed to make picks every week), but did work out just fine by my criteria :-) Cheers! --Poolmaster Tom -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In any case, my name on the trophy many times over, I think, has proven the point, but I was discouraged from simply withdrawing as a player, so this year I tried a new system for fun. The main consideration for me has been to have a system that requires zero, or little, thought, and that the system have some rational basis behind it. This year I used picks from http://www.mcs.sdsmt.edu/rwjohnso/nfl/nflrank.html starting in week 3 (because his system needs some input before generating projected winners), which didn't work out all that well in terms of my finishing place (last among those who managed to make picks every week), but did work out just fine by my criteria :-) Cheers! --Poolmaster Tom _______________________________________________ The Rowell NFL Pool http://pool.tastewar.com Big Index Page: http://pool.tastewar.com/index.html Players mailing list mailto:Players at pool.tastewar.com Mailing list info: http://pool.tastewar.com/mailman/listinfo/players_pool.tastewar.com Archive: http://pool.tastewar.com/pipermail/players_pool.tastewar.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I went back through the mailing list archives to find the previous description of the scoring. Here 'tis: This is a "round by round repick pool" which means that you don't fill out the entire bracket at the beginning, March Madness style. Rather, you only pick one week at a time, so this week we have 4 games to pick in the Wildcard round. The scoring is a bit different than in the regular season. As the games get more important, they are worth more points. Each correct pick in the Wildcard round is worth 1 point; 2 in the Divisional Playoff round; 4 in the Conference Championship round; and 8 in the Superbowl. In addition, there are also underdog points. In the playoffs, these will work as follows: in the Wildcard round, 1 extra point; in the Divisional round, 2; in the Conference round, 3; and in the Superbowl, 4. BTW, after all the picks are in for the first week, I will be deleting players who did not enter, because I know that not everyone cares to play.

Ben is the current leader in the pool, with 14 points, but there are still a (maximum) potential 26 points available over these final 2 rounds, so do not despair! The first game next week, is the Packers at the Falcons, which kicks off at 3:05 p.m. on Sunday, so you have until then to get your picks in. Steelers come to the Pats house at 6:40 to finish out the Conference Championship round. Then, after all that stress, you get an extra week off (even if you choose, for some reason, to watch the Pro Bowl, it doesn't have any effect on the Rowell Pool) before the SuperBowl on 5 February.

Message-ID: Greetings Swimmers! I believe the pool site is all set for the 2017/18 season. Please give it a try, enter your picks, and let me know if you encounter any problems. Deadline for pick submission is 8:30 p.m. ET Thursday, 7 September 2017. *A few reminders:* The main URL, http://pool.tastewar.com/ should always point to the current week's sub-pool pages. But if it doesn't, you can always use the "Next Week" and Previous Week" buttons on the button bar, or the Archive button to bring you to a list of *all* the many years worth of archived weeks. The URL for the Archive Page is http://pool.tastewar.com/index.html Note that there are links for every week this season, but those links will only become "live" when we get to those weeks. If you click them now, you will be disappointed. At the bottom of each email to this group you should see a footer with interesting/useful links for the pool, the big index page, the mailing list archive, etc. It's more fun if the mailing list is active, so please send your taunts to players at pool.tastewar.com. Flames to /dev/null (that's a geeky Unix/Linux joke, in case you didn't know, meaning throw them away) Picks are always due before kickoff of the first game of the week. I try to send reminders, but it is ultimately your responsibility to get them in on time. That said, I generally accept late picks, especially for games that haven't yet started. E.g. if you fail to submit on Thursday, and realize it Sunday morning, email me your picks and I will enter them. You will get credit for all games except the Thursday night (even if you swear up and down that you didn't see the results...) *NFL Schedule Notes:* This year's NFL schedule has a Thurs. night game at 8:25 p.m., a bunch of early Sunday games (1:00 p.m.), a smaller number of late Sunday afternoon games (4:05/4:25 p.m.), 1 Sunday night game (8:30 p.m.), and 1 Monday night game (8:30 p.m.), except: (all times ET). Week 1: Thursday game at 8:30 p.m.; 2 MNF games (7:10/10:20 p.m.) Weeks 4,8: 9:30 a.m. Sunday game! Week 12 (Thanksgiving Week) has 3 Thu games: 12:30, 4:30, 8:30 Week 15: Saturday games at 4:30 and 8:25 p.m. Week 16: (Christmas Week) No Thursday game; Saturday games at 4:30 and 8:30 p.m., no Sunday night game, 2 Monday (Christmas Day) games at 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. Week 17: All games played Sunday; 1 Sunday night game This means that the pick sheet deadline is 8:25 p.m. on Thursday night except week 1, when it's 8:30 p.m., week 12, when it will be 12:30 p.m. (be prepared!!), and week 17, when it will be 1:00 p.m. Sunday (relax!). Also FYI a varying number of teams get BYEs during weeks 5-11 inclusive. Full schedule therefore weeks 1-4,12-17. Cheers! Go Pats!! :-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Look! I'm in first place! Thanks, Tom, for setting it up again this year. Another year, another quest to do better than 2nd place, again. Looking at the list, it appears we have 8 competing for the Family Trophy (held by Emma) and only 6 competing for the Friends of the Family trophy (currently in Luke's clutches). I think there is room to expand in the friends category, so look around and see if there are others that might want to play. Looking forward to watching the Super Bowl Champion Patriots back in action - without Edelman for the season (sorry, Terry). Happy picking, everyone! and Happy Back to School for all to whom it applies. Susan Go Pats!

I’ll have someone from a different country do my picks each week, and then report on whether or not you can trust that nationality to do your picks :P And we’ll see how I do in the rankings this year!

Message-ID: And so it begins, with applause and hurray! The NFL season is now underway! We waited all spring, most of summer as well, Thru the foolish pre-season, for our teams then to jell. With one week behind us, and sixteen to come, The big TV networks all beating the drum, To big screens we hasten, and then sit transfixed, With our beer and some nachos, and feelings so mixed, Over concussions, BLM, and inequity in pay, In a world full of troubles, is it really okay To pause for a while, from our lives full of stress Without pondering how we escape from the mess? How we might solve world hunger, end wars, and then bring Real Justice to all, teach the world how to sing? And the change in the climate, is that really a thing??? For me, I say "Yes!" we may and in fact must Take time to relax, for it not we will just Become weary and cranky, far removed from our best, Unable to smile, share kindness, or jest. So though football had not by then been invented Even God on the seventh day had consented, To rest and proclaim that the day should be holy, Dedicated to our re-creation solely! So take time to recover, take time to enjoy All the wonder of creation, including, oh boy! NFL Football, its imperfections and glory! The web site has been updated with the results of week 1. As a reminder to old members, and new info for new members, the pool's main URL, http://pool.tastewar.com is updated weekly to re-direct to the current week's set of pages. I try to to that, and get the next week's pages ready early(ish...) on Tuesday morning. Note that in the button bar near the top of the pages on the site there are "Next Week" and "Last Week" buttons that will let you navigate back through the season (and even into past seasons!) a week at a time. Note also that *future* weeks don't exist yet, so if you are on the current week, and press the Next Week button, you will be rewarded with a 404 error. There is also a button labeled Archive which will bring up a big page with links to all the past weeks and seasons that we have online. It doesn't contain everything -- there were years when I was just re-using the main URL every week, and before that, the small group that started did it by email. But those years constitute the *pre-historic* era, with the only archaeological evidence that remains being the trophy. Anyway, Week 2 is now ready for your picking pleasure -- please be sure to submit your picks prior to kickoff of the first game of the week, as always!!

Note that in the button bar near the top of the pages on the site there are "Next Week" and "Last Week" buttons that will let you navigate back through the season (and even into past seasons!) a week at a time. Note also that future weeks don't exist yet, so if you are on the current week, and press the Next Week button, you will be rewarded with a 404 error. There is also a button labeled Archive which will bring up a big page with links to all the past weeks and seasons that we have online. It doesn't contain everything -- there were years when I was just re-using the main URL every week, and before that, the small group that started did it by email. But those years constitute the pre-historic era, with the only archaeological evidence that remains being the trophy. Anyway, Week 2 is now ready for your picking pleasure -- please be sure to submit your picks prior to kickoff of the first game of the week, as always!!

Oh, and while I doubt anyone but me will appreciate the sheer brilliance of it, the "Next Week" and "Last Week" buttons will keep you on the same relative page as you move between weeks. So, if you were on the Season Standings page, you can go forward and backward in time, looking at Season Standings each week. Or the Detailed Standings page. Or ... Which reminds me (well, something else reminded me as well), the "home page" for each weekly pool site is *not* the extent of the pool site! There is a Report Links section at the bottom with many more pages you can explore. The Player Summary is a particular favorite around here, sometimes it gets printed out so we can see how people are doing as the week progresses. Which also reminds me... I try to update the site a number of times during the weekend. Generally Friday morning, then after the early Sunday results come it, then after the afternoon games, then, well, you get the idea.

Conclusion: don't trust Canadians or Belgians with football. In all fairness though, I hadn't explained to them how the points work, so... maybe that had a little bit of impact :) This week I asked a friend who's Columbian to do my picks, and I explained the system to her, and she made some informed decisions, so - we'll see how much of a difference that makes!
