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...

Rundown 4/17/2017

The Baseball HOT STOVE IS ON FIRE, a new legend emerges, and much more on this weeks' RunDown. New Legend We had a new legend emerge on the scene this week, giving League of Legends a test spin, checking out what it's all about. Everyone extend a warm legend welcome to Josh Dorr, AKA Dorrknob. Coach Dorr seems legit already racking up some points in MLS. Only true legends score points in MLS. Welcome board Josh. This ups our Legend Josh Count to a solid 2. HOT STOVE MOVES OF THE WEEK Legends we haven't seen a HOT STOVE like this in the long storied history of League of Legends Baseball. If it were not for, how should I say it, a Stalinisticish like Transaction Limit of 10 the STOVE would go NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR. You can translate that how you wish cause the commish doesn't really have a good bead on foreign affairs but the Kim Dong Jong dude is blowing up missles and throwing parades. Ervin Santana SP, picked up by Lime in the Coconut, POW! 32.5 point outin...

Rundown 3/20/2017

Welcome to the League of Legends rundown. A weekly (hopefully) rundown of all the sweet action from the real League of Legends (not that nerdy computer game). Season 3 is well under way with several leagues already started. Baseball Draft This Weekend We are days away from the baseball draft. The Draft Order has been set. Round 1 1. HvuSnMyBball 2. Expos 3. UnderHochevars 4. WarningTrackPower 5. PhilliesPhanInKC 6. Josh's Team 7. PattyV 8. Here s My Doonation 9. Hits for Ks 10. Stump Grinder's 11. Matt's Team 12. Tower of Power Talk about a first pick waste. I doubt HvuSnMyball even shows up for the draft. Trout will spend the summer wasting away on a team out of it by April...actually this seems pretty true to life. Hopefully HvuSnMyBall lands Pujols as well. Results from my first Mock draft sitting in the 4 slot. 1. Kris Bryant (ChC - 1B,3B,OF) 2. Xander Bogaerts (Bos - SS) 3. Freddie Freeman (Atl - 1B) 4. Giancarlo Stanton (Mia - OF) ...
