Trust me, in practice, fouls wind up being random; it's also a function of the refs calling the games, so if one group of refs decides to call a game super tight while your opponent has players playing with a group of loose refs... you got screwed. Furthermore, you're really double-punishing someone for getting into foul trouble--their stats will already be lower because they had to play fewer minutes, and then you're giving them an added slap by throwing on that additional category.

Finally, you really want an odd number of categories so there can be a clear winner in a playoff. If you're getting rid of minutes, you should get rid of something else, and this seems the best. Turnovers is also something of a controversial stat because you're penalizing a player for just having the ball in his hands (for example, CP3 has really high turnovers), but I'm OK with it if it gives us an odd number of stats.

Free throw percentage is fine; it's not like they average all of the FT%s of your players to get your score there for the week, they take a lump aggregate of ALL free throws made and ALL free throws attempted for the week by your players and that's your free throw percentage. So going 1-1 isn't going to really help you that much. In practice, there will be ~100 free throws on your team per week, so it's no big deal. I agree on 3-pointers made, though, as well as FG%.

None of the other stats seem that interesting.

Hmm, OK thanks.



Wish me and Elijah GL today. :xf:
 
Frozen hair??? That sounds miserable. I'm being pretty wimpy today, feeling all cold. I was just in cold and rain in Baltimore and I wasn't this cold-feeling.
 
Is there a right way to turn sleet into a verb? lots of sleet in cambridge last night.

Interestingly, sleet refers to two different things depending on if you speak US or British English. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleet

I'm def. from the US, and I always thought it was rain + snow. Raining ice = hail.

+1, I'd like to see if it's more of a regional thing within the U.S.

I'm from the Chicago, we see a lot of sleet, and by sleet I mean snow + rain that freezes on the ground and eventually becomes nasty ice/slush.
 
Awesome Team? Hahaha.

You're Awesome Team is going down, lady.:meanie:

Click to expand...

Yeah, I sympathize, but I enjoy not having to first get the 6-12 inches of snow off BEFORE scraping the ice...

I'm just enjoying it while it lasts. 🙂

man, this should be interesting. I bet dw and ksmi actually end up 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 1st at the end of the season. Things always work out this way.

Haha that's a new one! I suppose it's an alright nickname.

I've never done any kind of fantasy sport before... I'll try, but you guys may have to explain the process to me. 👍

+1. Some names just don't really lend themselves to shortening, especially when right now you're chopping off like 2 characters... and it's actually no shorter than what we were already doing, lstone :laugh:
