Congrats to Kaner, Not to Nippler

When you cheat to try and win a title, a little asterisk goes next to your name in the record books. However, this year there will be no asterisk. Even though the Nippler cheated, he best wasn't good enough. Defeated in the semi-finals, Steve could only capture the Consolation Bowl title. Serves him right.

However, our illustrious champion should be congratulated. For the first three weeks he was in last place, but overcame those odds to finish in 2nd in points and claim the ever-elusive Sqffl Acorn Trophy. And to add glory to the prize, Kaner defeated the best owner in franchise history. Me! Kaner shakes the Shenko stigma and cashes in big!

Even though Sqrl finishes in the money for the 3rd year in a row, he wasn't able to claim the points title. Fun-in-a-can cheated his way to the top and claimed that prize. *Steve has now replaced Frank Sebold and Dtz as the nefarious cheater of the SQFFL.

The best race came down to third place for points. Instead of pocketing $250 and an in-the-money-finish, Matt will actually owe money this year. He lost 2nd place by only one point. One measly point. Was it the bad trading? Was it the time spent looking for his glasses instead of paying attention to football? No one will ever know but him. Imagine that. One point. In years past, Matt was always one to top the transaction chart. This year he didn't even use his full free $20. Correlation? Definitely. Time to retire, Matt. Your time has passed.

To speak of cheating again, I don't how he did it, but I know he did it. I'm not going to make a big "stink" about it since it's only the toilet bowl, but we all know the deal. We don't need the Mitchell report to tell us Barry is on roids and Dtz cheats.

Not that he won anything from the SQFFL, but Teacher walks away a winner as well. For like the millionth season in a row, Bill smacks Kyle around like a red-headed step child. That's a free league fee. Fudd also lost some golfing money to Teacher, $100 to be exact, so that will be included here.

So, the final winners are....

Kaner = Sqffl Title and 2nd place points
Steve = Points title and Consolation Prize
Sqrl = Fantasy Bowl runner-up
Matt = 3rd Place points
Dtz = Piece of Shit

So, now let's get to the good part. The Finances. Follow closely because this gets tricky.

There are 12 people in the league. The league fee is $150. My fee goes to paying for the website, so that leaves $1650 in the pot. (11 x $150). There was also $106 in transaction money.

Here is what the Winners receive.

Kaner = $450 (SQFFL) + $250 (2nd points) + $53 (1/2 transactions pot) - $150 (league fee) - $8 (moves) = $595

Steve = $450 (points) + $100 (Consolation) + $53 (transaction pot) -$150 - $16 (moves) = $437

Sqrl = $250 (Runner-up) - $22 (moves) = $228

Bill = $150 league fee from Kyle - $150 league fee + $100 Fudd/golf = $100

Total = 595 + 437 + 228 + 100 = 1360

Here is what everyone else owes. If there is not a total for moves, then they did not spend over $20 for their first 10 free moves.

Pat = $150
Dtz = $150 - $50 (toilet) = $100
Matt = $150 - $100 (3rd) = $50
Prev = $150
Hagan = $150 - $20 = $170
Kyle = $150 + $20 (moves) + $150 (Bill) = $320
Crane = $150 + $20 = $170
Fudd = $150 + $100 (golf) = $250

Total = 150 + 100 + 50 +150 +170 + 320 + 170 + 250 = 1360

That all Maths. So now you know what you owe. (Heggs, we can adjust my total and yours to reflect our finances if you want)

So, those who owe feel free to pay those who are owed. Just make sure you tell me so we can keep on top of the finances. I will update as we go along.

Again, congrats to our winners...most of them. And one of these years, I'll get back to weekly updates. But, I do enjoy hearing Steve cry. Steve if your that hard up for some kind of life, I'll eave the old blog up and you can read them over and over and over and over...Everyone downstairs for Blog reading!!!!!!

There will be another post shortly about the post-season fantasy playoffs.

Playoffs

The playoff schedule is set. Here are the matchups and explanations.

Steve, Pat, and Sqrl win the divisions. Pat and Kaner tied for their division and split on the season, so the next tie-breaker is division record. Pat wins that tie breaker, so he wins the division.

Sqrl and Kyle tie for the divisions, but I swept Kyle, so I get the division title.

Steve and Pat both finished with the same record, but Steve beat Pat during the year, so Steve gets the #1 seed. Pat gets the #2 seed. Pat and Steve both get byes. Since I am the 3-seed, I have to paly the six seed.

Kaner is the 4-seed.

Then we have Hagan, Crane, Bill, and Kyle all finishing at 7-7. The first place to break ties is within the division. Hagan and Crane are in the same division. Hagan beat Crane twice, so he knocks off Crane.

The next tie breaker is now between Hagan, Bill, and Kyle. Bill beat them both, so he takes the 5-seed. The 6-seed is open for Hagan and Kyle. Kyle beat Hagan so he gets the last seed.

Since I play the 6-seed, I play Kyle. Therefore, Bill plays Kaner.

Toilet Bowl

As we saidm Hagan and Crane just missed the playoffs and are the number 1 and 2 seeds in the toilet bowl. They each get byes.

Matt and Dtz finished next at 6-8. Matt lost to Dtz, so Dtz is the 3 seed and Matt is the 4-seed.

Last we have Fudd and Prev. Prev lost to Fudd, so Fudd is the 5-seed and Prev is the 6-seed.

Matchups

Steve, Pat = byes.
Sqrl vs. Kyle
Bill vs. Kaner

Hagan, Crane = byes
Dtz vs. Prev
Fudd vs. Matt.
