blonde NFL Fantasy League 2019/20

First of all, unreserved apologies to everyone involved for the delay. Yes, life has been hectic recently, but it'd be ludicrous to suggest that I haven't had opportunities to get everything sorted until now. It's just something that hadn't been at the forefront of my mind.

Just with regard to incoming payments, I chased payments for the DLeague and have received fees from everyone except ForthThistle. For the redraft, I never chased monies at the time as we were mid re-mortgage process and I didn't want the random payments showing on the statements we sent as part of the application, just in case it caused any issues. I subsequently then never got round to chasing monies, although some of you did pay me from existing details. Having now done the spreadsheet calculations, I can offset some of these from the outgoing prize money, after which there there are £230 of outstanding fees due for me to collect, which I'll detail at the end of the thread.

Having done all the spreadsheet calculations (a copy of which I can forward to anyone who wants to sense check anything), the breakdown of prizes due for payment are as follows:

Redraft League   Team   Manager   Prize
1   Landry's Losers   Marky147/LEXUS   £210
2   Spider2YBanana   bobby1   £70

Dynasty League   Team   Manager   Prize
1   ArkansasGravediggers   Tal   £160
2   Tifosi Blackhearts   The Sicilian   £40

1 Week Best Score   Team   Manager   Prize
1   My TE Ertz I Blame V Curry   Sheriff   £18

3 Week Best Score   Team   Manager   Prize
1   My TE Ertz I Blame V Curry   Sheriff   £64

Breakdown League   Team   Manager   Prize
1   My TE Ertz I Blame V Curry   Sheriff   £47

Best Draft   Team   Manager   Prize
1   Bend the Knee   TightEnd   £12

         £620

The £620 total prize pool equates to £20x10 (£200) for the dynasty league (split between 1st and 2nd) and £30x14 (£420) for the redraft, of which £20x14 (£280) is split between 1st and 2nd with the £140 balance allocated across the side competition prizes. The split of prize allocations is identical to the previous year in percentage terms. The only difference is that we had fewer redraft players this year (14 in a single league compared to 24 in two leagues last year).

Re-draft and DLeague winners and runners up info is straightforward, and as per the info on the league sites. Well done to the 4 who made the money, with particular reference to Tal, who won the DLeague for the 3rd successive year. Quite an achievement.

With regard to the side comps on the redraft, the breakdown of results is as follows:

This 'combined' competition is primarily designed to be an overall competition when we have two leagues running side by side. As there was a single league this year, the output is effectively the same as that in the 'Breakdown' Table on the NFL.com site. Essentially, it takes everyone's weekly scores and puts them in a matchup with each team each week and works out the total numbers of wins and losses over the season.

The 3-week aggregate score was won by myself with scores of 150.06, 131.30 and 130.32 in weeks 7, 4 and 11 respectively. The single week score of 150.06 was also the highest individual week score for the other side-competition. For info, the full table is below showing everyone's weekly scores in descending order (some teams had a bye week in the play-offs hence have one less week of scoring than others).

Finally, the best overall draft winner is Tighty. This, as a reminder, uses your original draft picks and their end-of-year scores applied to the highest scoring option which would have been an eligible starting line up. The table is shown below, along with the winning line-up from Tighty's draft, which narrowly edged out ForthThistle by just under 10 points.

Below is the total breakdown of payouts by manager. I've deducted fees where possible, to save people having to send and receive funds. I'll PM each person to confirm payment details and send these over. I think I have details for most recipients, but will check that they're still valid. None of the payments are subject to receipt of the monies from other managers, as that's my issue to resolve separately.

Payouts By Manager
Marky147/LEXUS   £210   -£30   £180
Tal   £160   -£30   £130
Sheriff   £128   £0   £128

The Sicilian   £40   £0   £40
TightEnd   £12   £0   £12
   £620   -£90   £530

So finally, just to confirm that the following people still have outstanding monies to pay for the season. I'll PM bank details to each of you to get this collected in due course. Just to re-confirm, this is down to me not originally giving details for you to pay me so the delay is entirely down to myself, rather than you guys not having paid when asked to.

To Pay:
ForthThistle   £50
Graham   £30
Camel   £30
Nakor   £30
KarmaDope   £30
ChipRich   £30
Ironside   £30
   £230

Once again, apologies to everyone for the delays in administration this year. Plenty of real-life factors contributing towards this, but no overall excuses. For what it's worth, I'm happy to run the leagues again next season, but if anyone would prefer someone else to take over the Commish role going forward I'll happily step aside and compete as a manager only.

Please let me know if any queries/issues with the calculation of results.
