Legend News 6/25/2015


  • The Streak - we are a few days from wrapping up the streak. A few legends have asked me about scoring. Top Streaker (best win pct) gets full 2000 points. Remaining streakers get pct of points based on the following formula 2000 - ((Top Win Pct - Your Win Pct) * 2000). Most streaks get 200 point kicker with other legends getting pct of 200 points based on their top streak count. Finally you get a kicker for wins...Most wins 300 pts, Second most 200 pts, Third most 100 pts.
  • Wimbledon Tennis Slam - The draw is at 4:00AM Friday morning. I will try to have the picks up and ready before I head into work Friday.
  • Tour de France - that is right legends. We are picking the Tour de France. You will assign 4 riders to the various jersey colors of the Tour de France. the top 20 riders of each stage will receive points. If your pick wins the overall jersey color then you will get a bonus kicker at the end of the race. Rider list should be set first of next week and Emails will be sent when the picks are open.
  • Golf pickem scoring update - We had some legends pick one player instead of foursome. I treated that as an across the board pick much like the Triple crown stuff. Going forward if you do not pick 4 golfers then you get the worse score of the round. So if you pick 1 golfer you get the worse score * 3 and so on. If you have trouble picking holler and let me know what the issue is.
  • July Streak Month - July will be another streak month since it is a little quiet. I was kicking around the idea of a reverse streak. So you have to pick as many losers as possible. No Forfeits. Anyone interested in that or should we just stick with normal streak. If I do not hear back we will go normal streak
  • College Football update: So this is still a ways off but I am creating the College football Pickem site. Each week legends will pick all the games involving a top 25 team. The picks will be against the spread. The spread will be locked in 1 hour before kickoff. So if you make your picks on Monday the spread can change often throughout the week. The spread will be locked in 1 hour before kickoff and that will be what you are picking against.
  • Point leveling and New Legends - Most Legends agreed that leveling the points was a good idea. We need 3 new legends before Football Season. If you know someone that is legend material please let me know. I would like to get 3 new legends added and then level the points before Football season.

Rundown 6/12/2017 - Jcomp edition

It was a big week across the athletic landscape as several sports and collegiate softball crowned champions. Nadal finished an all-time great run through the French Open, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and Lebron ended talk of the Warriors and an undefeated postseason. Meanwhile, Patty took the LOL season lead for all of 36 hours until TJS could finish his 100 hour work week and get back to his computer to “adjust” the scoring. We’re 12 days into the second streak month of the LOL year. I feel a bit like Bob Gibson probably felt in 69 after the whiners got their way and the rules were changed. Luckily enough we’re entering prime Cricket season which, outside of Russian Basketball, is my sweetspot. You guys better get ready for a load of Chris Gayle Hot Takes. Triple Frown We’ve seen six different horses win the six triple crown races since American Pharoah in 2015. While being a borderline sports degenerate is a necessity in the League of Legends, do any of us really care abou

Bulls and Bears

Legends I was out mowing Friday and like any normal Legend was thinking of a new contest for the league. A few months back....(just checked it was September 2014, time has flown) I created a site called ClosingBell. It was apart of the League of Legends version 2.0 (technically we are playing on LOL v 3.0). Anyway ClosingBell was a stock pickem game where you picked the price of 5 stocks daily and you pick a closing day price. If you were within +- a certain percentage of the price you set than you got points for that pick. It was a daily thing, and a little complicated. Anyway, while mowing I was thinking there should be an easier way to make a stock pickem game for the legends. Thus the idea for Bulls and Bears was born. Here is the rough idea: Before the Monday opening bell Legends will pick 2 stocks.  Bull Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will rise this week Bear Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will fall this week Friday close prices are recorded

MLS League Moving

Yahoo Fantasy MLS League is garbage. jcomp found MLSsoccer.com has a fantasy league as well. At first glance it is mile ahead of Yahoo. We are trying out the league this weekend with plans to probably move the league to MLSSoccer.com. If you want to try it out this weekend give it a go. URL: http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/ League Code: 28046-5323 Go to Leagues, create and join enter the code. Some cool features. You can autopick the team right off the bat. Nice feature. Then you can back fill the players you want. Captain - you can assign a team captain. This player's points are doubled. I thought this was pretty cool. Anyway give it a go and get signed up. If all goes well then we will abandon the yahoo league for the new MLSSoccer.com league.
