    That's a big problem lads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    Can we make a spreadsheet or something with the matchups that should be played today. ie the first round playoffs and go with that.. and just keep scores manually. Either that or we're just going to have to go with this format...

    Wouldn't be ideal but if we managed to sort the promotion relegation business sorted to keep in sync with all the other leagues..

    Take a screenshot of the standings as they are now anyway just so you know what they should have been at the end of the regular season.

    I'm on the phone now but I'll get one up later if no one else does

    Standings as they are now and the playoff tables...

    so would I be right saying that Tipperay Bulldogs and The Poontown PussyCats should be automatically promoted as they are the top two seeds and should be joined by whoever scores more between FatGav's Fatties and Mighty Pigs and in the other game Emerald Shams and Steeling the Steel.... as those should have been the wildcard games this week......

    relegated should be Snue Gliffers, Blue Bloods, The Klique and Moyross Piebalds as they are the bottom 4 ranked teams...

    that's what would have happened if we had the same rules as all the other boards leagues isn't it

    It all depends, I'd expect some drop-outs in the higher divisions and even more in the lower ones with more first-timers. It's not an exact science, there's scope for alot of the mid-table D4 teams to be D3 teams next season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    Need three yards from Miles Austin to beat the #1 seed in the league for a second week running and end on 8-6. The play-offs are almost an impossibility but I'm happy about finishing strong and hopefully it'll continue into the second tier tournament!

    and that's what happened in week 14 in case we need to come back to it later on to keep with boards rules...

    otherwise here's how the season ended - fecking divisions :( missed out on the last play off spot due to being 3rd in my division :( would have made the playoffs anywhere but in Ulster but that's the way it goes I suppose - always next season to make up for this year

    all in all it's been a great season - only 2 wins separating the top 10 teams and the top 14 being within 3 games.... couldn't have been much closer really

    roll on the consolation playoffs :D

    You wouldn't have made it in Connacht either, I'm testament to that! :pac:

    Honestly I think just one big league table is fairer, it's tough on both of us - with 8-6 records - seeing a team win a division and be seeded 4th with a 7-6-1 record.

    somehow looked at Conacht wrong there - for some reason scanning over the table 8-5-1 somehow seems slightly worse than 8-6-0 :o


    just like the pro's I suppose when ya looks at the NFL West :pac: still though if I was getting into the playoffs like that I wouldn't be complaining... just the way the ball rolls when your getting put in a division.. just gotta hope for a stroke of luck

    Yeah, it would come down to the question do you want your fantasy league to mirror the eccentricities of the NFL itself or not, I can see cases for both.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭Masked Man


    So is this week the semi final or what's happening?

    Been making that mistake since I tied the game with FatGav's Fatties, can never get my head around it.

    Final was played last week.

    Ye need to sort our who finished where lads. Could be a bit of work calculating the different spots and who would have played who.

    I've completely forgot about this thread till today I presumed with the fact its going till week 17 that someone made a bollix of it alright! Ah well.. Im going up next year anyway :D

    Yeah we just spotted the mistake in time ! I think @johnmcdl has the details taken for who finished where at the end of the regular season. Should be able to do the playoffs using those standings and individual scores by week. Its important to do the consolation tournament aswell incase a lot of teams get promoted due to people not returning to higher divisions next year :)

    Ok, so what's going on? Haven't been on the forum ina while but have been doing my fantasy team.

    Havent played the fantasy nfl before so don't fully know the end of season rules, All I know is that according to my NFL team, tipp bulldogs, I won my wk16 game and thanks to having no rb's I'm losing wk17.

    So did the league finish last week or what? Seriously confused but watching tebow play is cheering me up!

    From my understanding of it the semi final should of been in week 15. If (and I'm not 100% on this) I made it to the semi final I would've won 148.56 - 47.72. I don't think you would've been playing in week 16.

    I could be wrong about this, I'm assuming I would've faced FatGav's Fatties in week 14 and gotten through to the semis.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    WOOOOOOO!! DIVISION 4 CHAMPION!!!

    I'D LIKE TO THANK GOD, AND TEBOW AND ALL THOSE INVOLVED! I LOVE YOU ALL!

    I think I won, I outscored Johnny by .7 in week 16.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    I was joking!

    And I celarly wouldn't be thanking Tebow with his score of 0.00.

    When I found out it wasn't worth anything I didn't change my team.... So ended up with Flynn and Stafford on the bench..... With almost 40 points each!! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    10th :( terrible... next year I better get luckier with my division


    as for what should have happened.. if I get time I'll try to give it a go to sort out what should have happened but don't be holding yer breaths waiting on it :p

    I think - I think this is what should have happened...

    as for the bye weeks and didn't field full strength team etc etc etc

    In week 15 Emerald Sham's subs were worse than the starters so substitutions wouldn't have mattered... and Tipperary Bulldogs defo didn't have 60 odd points lying around so..

    In week 16 steeling the steel could have only got another 9 points so would still have lost even with substitutions


    I think that's how it should have worked out but if I made a mistake I'll hold my hands up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,144 ✭✭✭Benny Cake


    Which set of standings are used to determine promotion between divisions? Is it the standings at the end of the regular fantasy season or the standings at the end of the fantasy playoffs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Looks like I'm gonna be promoted to division 4, I really hope I can continue a divisional rivalry with hazys.

    Barbarians is GM this year :)

    Ya may go confirm in the other thread though fairly lively as malachyscott said because you've officially not confirmed yourself in - deadline was 31st of July ie - your 2 hours late now - for re sign ups and there'll no doubt be at least 1 person who'll try to make an issue of you not officially putting your name down.. :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 833 ✭✭✭barbarians


    After a very brief stint at G.M. of Division 4 I'll be resigning from my post as I'm being sent to Division 3 to make up numbers so if anyone wants to volunteer to be the new G.M. just send me a P.M. and I'll hook you up with the necessary details.

    Also Syferus, you won't be playing in Division 4this year as this post shows. You failed to confirm that you were playing this year before the deadline so you've lost your place in Division 4.

    The old Boards4 league is still active with a few new members on NFL.com - is this the one we're using or did I miss an invite code somewhere along the line?

    It looks like we need a new GM here as barbarians has been promoted to div 3. If anyone wants to volunteer get in touch with barbarians so he can transfer the GM duties on NFL.com and the necessary invites can be done then


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    I'll take over as GM if everyone is ok with that. Lets get the league setup and the invites out there!

    I'm going to be an Al Davis, constantly suspicious the league is overthrowing me and planning a merger with division 5 or something. I became notorious in the Madden league for being a Davis re-incarnation. But seriously with GMs low-key is the way to go. After the division 4 and 5 shenanigans last year I will be double and triple-checking all the rules on a daily basis.

    If I ever do come across as insulting or something, take it as a joke, because 99% of the time it is. I'll try to break my character and be a diplomat though.

    All right first duty as GM is assembling the league. I'll do the list of people currently in the league, though I don't know all the usernames so tell me which team is who's.

    Teams I know are in the league from division 5:
    Sandyford Sharks - Matthew8
    Team of Rivals - Jimmy Iovine
    Team Better Than Awesome - Hazys
    Clontarf Cheetahs - Jester1980
    Washington Generals - padraig f
    Bunch of Goons - Benimar
    Molly - San Diego Tribesmen

    Others from division 5 whose teams are not there or I don't recognise but are meant to be in division 4:
    Slowharry
    El Duderino
    Arod 2000

    Division 4 owners from last year still in the league (tell me the team you own):
    Poldebruin - Bray Broncos
    Niall1811
    Benny Cake - Moyross Piebalds
    Raven 136
    Scouser
    EveAlex - Longford Patriots

    Now I was just kicking some teams there who were promoted and I accidentaly kicked the Longford Patriots for some reason so if you are them I'll send you a pm. Once we have the league assembled I'll set up a draft time poll.

    I've updated the post with the names and teams. I've also set up a doodle draft poll, though because I don't know when I'm free I won't vote for a while. Here's the link:

    http://doodle.com/28wgpz4hd9uxitub

    The time that receives the most votes will be chosen, if times are tied I will go with the earliest one so if something goes wrong we will have more time to resolve it.

    I just voted. I'd imagine you can knock Saturday 1st on the head as the Navy/Notre Dame game is that day.
