FBP: A tradition like no other
Are you ready for some football?

This is Week 11

 

It's still tight at the top but we now have a single leader and it's Anand Raja, with Alan Hevner right behind. Moving up the standings is Frank McKeen picking up two or more points on everyone..

There's a new sheriff in town on Monday Night as Bill Bogley vaults into the lead following Monday's offensive explosion by Philly and Green Bay.. Donna Sanders is top dog of the week.

Apologies for the so-so posting over the last few weeks. I've been moving to a new PC and yeesh!!!!

As the season rolls on, take some time to look around at the other FBP features. I particularly recommend the History section if you haven't seen it before. Not only can you be astonished at the amount of energy we've put into this decidedly pointless human endeavor over the years, but you'll also find the FBP Hall of Fame listing all the previous champions.

 

Ummm ... I don't think that the spheroid you want ...

 

International Games: Once again, games have been scheduled in Europe this year, which means there are games with very early Sunday kick-off times in the U.S.

Flexible Scheduling: Just to aggravate me <grin>, the NFL has again listed two Week 16 games, five Week 17 games and ALL the Week 18 game times as TBD. All the matchups are set, but not the actual playing date and time. All the games are listed in the FBP schedule, but the TBD games are shown as occurring at a random goofy time. I'll update the schedule when the NFL makes up its mind.

For added excitement, flexible scheduling has been expanded this season to include Monday Night Football, as well as Thursday Night Football, which means games may move to other dates and times so keep an eye peeled throughout the year for changes. Fortunately, "the NFL is continuously reviewing its scheduling procedures to ensure exciting and meaningful games are available for viewing by the largest number of fans", which probably explains why this year's games have been parceled out to 43 different networks and streaming services. Good luck locating the game you want!

Monday Night Games: Thanks to the way FBP works, there is one and only one designated Monday Night game each week, and those games are designated at pool startup. (Some day this could change, but don't hold your breath.) Among other things, this means you may find games being played on a Monday that aren't "Monday Night" games, or "Monday Night" games being played on Sunday. Just roll with it.

Scoring Reminder: Beginning with the 2011 season, we changed the way that default scores are computed for the week. Specifically:

  • You can make picks for any game until that game begins.

  • If you make NO picks for the Weekend competition in a given week, you receve the default Weekend score for the Weekend competition for that week.

  • If you make ONE OR MORE picks for the Weekend competition in a given week, you are scored normally for the picks you made. Any picks that were omitted score zero points.

  • If you DO NOT make a Monday Night pick in a given week, you receive the default Monday Night score for the Monday Night competition for that week.

  • If you DO make a Monday Night pick in a given week, you are scored normally for your pick.

  • The Weekend and Monday Night competitions are now considered SEPARATELY for purposes of default scoring. That is, you can receive a default score for one competition while being scored normally for the other competition. For example: If you fail to make Weekend picks but do make a Monday Night pick, then you receive the default score for that week in the Weekend Competition but are scored normally for the Monday Night competition.

For examples of how this works, see Get Your Picks In On Time (And Default Scoring) on the Help page.
