Doubt Wars NL: The Final Standings!

OY! The original post screwed up the Tout Wars draft data. The chart below is corrected and represents the official final standings.

Tristan Cockcroft, for the second year in a row, wins the race among Touts in Doubt Wars, but didn’t finish with the best draft day roster when only Tout Wars teams are considered.

The 3repeaters and Rotorooters finished well ahead of the rest of the civilian pack.

Here are the final results (actual Tout Wars teams have a gray background):

Notably, Derek Carty’s Tout Wars team finished better than his Doubt Wars team, while Rotoman’s Doubt Wars team finished better than his Tout Wars team (no doubt because he didn’t take Edwin Jackson in Doubt).

The rest of the Doubt Wars results, plus complete standings details, will come soon.

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.

Winding Down FAAB Report for September 8, 2014

Mastersball.com keeps compiling our FAAB reports, as we head into the season’s last three weeks (only two more FAAB periods).

Unless something dramatic happens, our AL winner will be Rick Wolf and Glenn Colton, while the NL will fall for the third straight time to Tristan Cockcroft.

But you can follow the tight races in Tout Mixed Auction (Zinkie leads Van Riper by a half point, while Al Melchior and Zach Steinhorn trail by six and seven points respectively) and Tout Mixed Draft (Tim McLeod 109, Brent Hershey 107, Perry Van Hook 106.5 are clustered up top) by clicking the links.
