KenJennings Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) FYI, LABT PM'd me that he took the 43 today. Working on updating scores for last week and this week right now. Sorry I'm so far behind... unacceptable. I've had a full plate lately, and didnt even realize I was so backed up here.

KenJennings Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've been working on a pretty extensive project at work the last two weeks, been going in early and staying late every day. It's going to be distributed later this week, so I'm thinking I'll take some time off Thursday and/or Friday... When I have a little more free time, I'm going to put all of our scores in an excel spreadsheet to validate everything... I've sorta been adding things up on the fly, and its getting a bit cumbersome. Understanding all of these unexpected challenges will only make this game better if we play it next year. I love the format and would only tweak a few things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Ok gang, I've got some bad news and some good news. I've validated and rechecked all of this year's results so far, and I've come across a few issues, but the good news is they're easily fixed. Between the five of us, we've used Martin Truex 7 times this year. Mr Blues first used Martin Truex at Martinsville and again at Kansas. The default driver at Kansas in this case would've been Matt Kenseth, who is luckily still available in Mr Blues' roster. Cygnus 2112 first used Martin Truex at Kansas and again at Charlotte. The default driver at Charlotte in this case would've been Ricky Stenhouse, who is luckily still available in Cygnus' roster. The RacerX roster has been updated to correct a few discrepancies. Everyone's scores have been updated, a sad testament to my ability to add things up on the fly. The apple cart hasn't been upset too much comparatively, but I really should've been using a spreadsheet from the get go. Sorry for my lack of organization. UPDATED SCORES: blueschica - P1 597 ptsUsed: Austin Dillon, Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, AJ Allmendinger, Martin Truex, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson, Ryan Newman, Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch (w), Joey Logano, Paul Menard, Kasey Kahne, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson. laughedatbytime - P2 584 ptsUsed: Aric Almirola, Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle, AJ Allmendinger, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Ricky Stenhouse, Martin Truex, Ryan Newman, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Paul Menard, Austin Dillon, Danica Patrick, Jimmie Johnson (w), Kevin Harvick (w), Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Ryan Blaney.

KenJennings Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 And one last thing, before we get there... I don't think I've been very clear on how we'll handle the chase. Since we didn't get 8 players, we're not going to reset points for the chase. But we are going to reset the driver rosters for the last ten races. So as we wind down toward the cutoff, use up what you've got left. You'll get a roster reset after Richmond, at which time you'll be free to use the field once more for the final run to the title.

I love the format and would only tweak a few things. Thanks for taking the time to note everyone's picks and keep track each week! Much appreciated! I'm sorry you weren't on vacation, though. Best of luck with your project and I will let mr. blues know that Matt Kenseth is not available; and about the reset. At the moment he is torn between wishing good health for Dale Jr. and also wanting to see Jeff Gordon race at the Brickyard one more time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) That was my question as well. If we already used Dale Jr., (Mr. blues and I did) , can we pick the 88 again, or not, since it has already been used in a way? Whatever you decide is OK. Just read this article that says Gordon will be in the 88 the next two weeks, Indy and Pocono. Keeping my fingers crossed for Dale Jr. Article says he is having balance problems. Are you kidding me? I would retire right away (I know, they're not me, obviously.) The fact that he went to Pitt means he is pretty aware of his health; that is the original place where they discovered TCE and concussion syndromes, etc. I think it's smart that he went directly to good people and I hope for returned good health soon! http://espn.go.com/racing/story/_/id/17112261/jeff-gordon-step-dale-earnhardt-jr-next-two-races Edited July 20, 2016 by blueschica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Sorry to ring in so late. blueschica and Mr. blues- We're both going with Tony Stewart, the 14. Against my better judgment, ha ha. He'll either finish in the top 3 or hit the wall about half way through and DNF. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
