  • no need to get overly complicated all at once. I just think with the above combination it would allow people to go in all sorts of random directions.

        I like this...I can't remember the last time I did additive scoring, plus with no limitations on KOs, it will be quite different from VD2.

        I proposed the triple whammy before but got no traction.

        • Did you intentionally get rid of my letters qualification in my quote?

          I think if it were letters and decades there would still need to be a moratorium on QUIZY KOs but I think any decade should be available.

          • hmm... trying to do conditional formatting on 40k vlookups seems to be a mistake.

            • how do you paste in updates to players' numbers in the forum? or should I just tell you there's an update and you can get it from b-ref if you want it?

                I did because I think it would be too much. Either do a combo or KOs, not both, is what I meant. I didn't participate last time but apparently the additive scoring was a runaway so maybe sticking with multiplicative is a better plan. Although I guess we should see how close this one turns out to be.

                • I'd rather dump KOs then... but I thought they might be fun in an additive thing where you could submarine players that didn't fit your strategy. I am finding the KOs to be tedious as well though.

                    If you type out the line of data into your spreadsheet
                    Copy it (just the data cells, not the whole row)
                    Paste it into a message here
                    enter [ Code ] (without the spaces) before it
                    enter [/ Code ] after it.

                      • KO Luis Gonzalez

                        ... every one of the last 3 rounds I've almost KO'd him.

                          • I think I much prefer additive scoring. Multiplicative isn't as much fun for strategy in building teams, and seems more about getting some sort of a balance, at least partially.
                            Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                              I think it makes things more competitive since we're all competing for the same pool of players.
