Anyone Want to do "Fantasy League" For the Tour?

I just suggested no waivers because everyone may not be paying attention.

If everyone in any given Conference agreed, I could see no problem in swapping the 10th rounder for an undrafted...

I agree with this, but I also think that it must be done before the first show. Then the lineups 'lock'.
Being that there is only 2 days until tour starts, I think we should hold off and try it next year.

What did you pick again? Yellow Moon was it? If so, that's a great pick.

yeah i picked yellow moon, which is one of my favs off the album. hopefully they don't play it too much

Luckily i waited til they announced a few tracks off the album. i'm sure more people would have picked other tracks as well.

It's really hard to know what's going to happen with the LB picks.... It's entirely possible that they will only play some of the songs a few times during the tour. But which ones?? If I were to guess at anything that they might not play a lot it would be Yellow Moon and Pendulum.

It's on!

We all get 25 points per song tonight!

Then we start rooting against each of our songs that they've already played

Yeah! Its gonna be a very weird back and forth because I want to hear all of the songs I picked at all 5 of the concerts I am attending, but that would mean I loose so many points. :x

I think I'm hoping for none of mine to be played tonight :?: :roll:

The season starts tonight!

Thanks 1,000,000 to FrankieG who did all the work setting up the main scoring/data document. Also to the two "Commishes" that stepped up to make the Cameron and Vedder Conferences happen.


I will be at the shows tonight, and tomorrow, as well as the Bills game Sunday, so I may not be able to update right away... For most shows I can update live or close to it.

Itll be weird. It is probably better to not jump out to an early lead?

:thumbup: Thanks, I had fun. Enjoy the shows! I will be following the setlist tonight and can 'live update'.

I was thinking that an early lead is probably a bad thing too.. We will see.

I cannot 'Live' update the Buffalo show, If anyone wants to have Edit access to live update the scoresheet for tomorrow just PM me your email and I'll add you. If not, Im sure Mayday will update it the following morning.

So, seems I can't change my last pick.. well well, stuck with push me, pull me

Anyways, so what happens now? Just count points after all the shows and see who get's the most?

Or is there something I'm missing, not being from a fantasy-league-country

There is another document at the top of the 1st page of this thread. This will accumulate the scores for everyone so you can see where you stand in your own Conference (and across all Conferences). But yeah, you just wait and hope... and hopefully be entertained.

Push me Pull me is a good pick IMO.



I got the Vedder Conference Info in the OP (except prizes).

Good luck everyone. I am really hoping this creates quality entertainment and doesnt turn into a dud

If no one PM's me to allow them edit access then that is fine with me I won't be online until Monday evening.

I had not looked at the live scoring sheet until today, and I must say - that is some top notch shit.

I'm a bit of an excel regular myself, and this document impresses.

Kudos!

Let the shows begin.

It would be nice if we could get this thread stickied. Maybe in the Tour section, even. How does that happen?

PM Kat or Sea - they might be glad to do that.

Thanks! If you have any suggestions how to make the excel sheet better, or if you want to add some functionality yourself, just let me know and I can do it or add you so you can do it.

To get it stickied the Mods would need to deem it worthy, which probably won't happen since it only applies to the 60 of us that are doing it.

That's a lot more interest than some of the threads that get stickied.

True. A couple of them really need to go..

A song starts out with 0 Points. If it gets played, the song earns 25 points. Each time the song is played, it loses a point. So if you have "Brain of J", and it gets played in Pittsburgh, then Buffalo, then not for the rest of the tour, it will be worth 24 points.
If you pick "Fatal" and it doesnt get played, it earns 0.
If you have "Do The Evolution" and it gets played at each stop, it would end up with 1 point.

I think this scenario is impossible, since now there is 25 shows on the tour. (They added the Mass show after we set this up.)
Songs need to earn 26 points if its played once, so that if its played at all 25 shows, then it will end up with 1 point.

Yeah, well now my spreadsheet has to work, so I was just double checking it... :oops:

FrankieG

Adding "Guaranteed points". Which is the amount of points you would end up with if they played the song at all remaining concerts. THis won't really matter until we get further into the tour. Took the idea from March Madness brackets where if the team you picked to win the whole thing is knocked out early there is a 'max score'.

this is it! hope none of my songs get played tonight.

thanks to mayday, frankieg, and anyone else who helped setting all this up. great thought, and unbelievably great execution!
