Some have asked as to overall standings of the big games about halfway through the season (through week #7). There are several different ways to look at this, but unfortunately it took a lot of digging to find one that allowed me to be (tied) in the lead. Anyway, here are a couple of looks, for what it's worth:
Most Weeks Won (includes ties)
3 D6GirlsFan
1 panpan111, sinbin, MNHockeyFan, spars46, mnhockey3535, otter, maverick2000
Most Cumulative Points -- Rewards participation in large part
96 D6GirlsFan, MNHockeyFan
95 sinbin
91 panpan111, nu2hockey, spars46, Conventional Wisdom
90 Knight7
89 hockeymaven, clutterbucket, 36Guy
87 blondegirlsdad
Highest Average Points per Game (min 5 weeks) -- skewed somewhat by weeks with many or few upsets (so could help or hurt), but allows more players to be included if they happened to miss a week or two
0.793 D6GirlsFan, MNHockeyFan
0.785 Sinbin
0.779 spars46, The Bone
0.769 hockeybozo
0.752 nu2hockey, spars46, Conventional Wisdom
0.744 Knight7
Most Games Predicted Correctly -- again, favors those who participated each week
89 MNHockeyFan, sinbin
87 D6GirlsFan, Conventional Wisdom
86 panpan111, nu2hockey
85 spars46
84 Knight7, blondegirlsdad
83 clutterbucket, 36Guy
Most Bonus Points -- favors those who participated the most and also those who are really good at earning bonus points
9 D6GirlsFan
8 hockeymaven
7 U10father, MNHockeyFan, The Bone
6 Knight7, clutterbucket, 36Guy, sinbin, hockeybozo, spars46, MNhockey3535, hugo_lucas
Back to the real world now and best of luck to all participants the rest of the season.
