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 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) ...

TWILOLB

It's time for our first installment (possibly only) of TWILOLB (This week in LOL Baseball). We find ourselves already 7 weeks into the season, quarter of the way through. Where has the time gone? Epic Showdown of the Week Warning Track Power vs. Stump Grinder's A showdown of epic proportions. 2004 Red Sox vs Yankees. 1997 Florida Marlins vs Cleveland Indians. You get the gist. Stump Grinder's, after a slow week 1, the hottest team in the league with the highest total points. WarningTrackPower searching for his 4th league title in a row off to an undefeated start. Heading into Sunday WTP was down by 71 and needed a miracle. That miracle's name was Gerrit " The Cubs are Not that Good " Cole with a game hotter than this week's Cubs take. WTP had 4 starters combine for 70.33 points and a Kimbrel 2K save to power past SG on the final day of the matchup. WTP totaled 110.08 points on Sunday to grasp the victory from SGs curiously strong clutches. ...

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS Stump Grinder’s @ Warning Track Power The Grinder’s are led by an All Star cast of outfielders and should live up to their name with a bunch of gritty ball players. Warning Track Power is banking on MLB juicing the ball even more so it flies all the way out of the park. They will lean on their mashers. On the bump the Grinder’s roll out a strong collection of power arms. WTP is led by Thor acquired from the Grinder’s in the offseason and are hoping their strong bullpen will help once Greinke's arm finally falls off. Cousin Vinny says: Stump Grinder’s (-3) Prediction: Grinder’s 8 WTP 4 Expos @ UnderHochevars Will this be the year Trevor Story finally breaks out because if he does he will pair nicely with Bregman on that side of the infield. Hosmer and LeMahieu on the other side will balance out all of the K’s those two may rack up. UH trots out a collection of proven consistent bats hoping guys like Santana, Bruce, and ...
