Doubt Wars AL: The Final Standings
Rick Wolf and Glenn Colton had a year for the ages. They crushed the Doubt Wars competition again this year, as they did in 2013, too. Only this time they also won Tout Wars. Very impressive performances for the boys from Fantasy Alarm.
On the civilian side, the Ohio Wolverines edged Freedman’s Bureau for the top spot. Here are the full standings (gray teams are actual Tout Wars draft day stats).

Final Mastersball.com SWAT report: September 22, 2014
The last Bidmeister run came at midnight last night, and players were bought with whatever FAAB remained. As it does each week, mastersball.com has compiled the bids and the results, with commentary about the action. You can read it here.
This week they’ve combined the Tout Wars and LABR reports. Even if you don’t care much about LABR, it’s worth getting past the LABR portion for Todd Zola’s take on FAAB rules and procedures.
We’ll be talking about some of these this winter at Tout Wars Headquarters. I’ve never played with a 1000 unit budget, but look forward to hearing people’s experiences dealing with it.
Mastersball.com FAAB Report, Sept. 15, 2014: Don’t Ignore the Ratios
Mastersball tracks all the week’s FAAB in the four Tout Wars leagues, and then Lord Zola goes the extra mile, demonstrating that even in the season’s final weeks there is movement (or potential for movement) in all the categories.
There is.
