qualified to ski in the semi final slalom, jump and tricks events. Then the first (8) men and the

first (6) woman shall ski in the final.

 

[Horton]

Soooo @JeffSurdej

that means that if I pick the top 6 women and the top 8 men in each event I will at least get the maximum number of scores. Maybe not the highest scores but all highest possible number of scores.

 

 

There are a few gambles on my team.

 

We all want Jacinta for woman's jump but if Paige makes it to the finals and jumps at least 100 feet I only lose 100 pts per round but save 28K. That is the question. Is losing 300 pts worth $28k for the other skiers? (I am sure Paige will jump more than 100ft )

 

I also took Garrett Reese. He won the America's Cup three years ago so he has seen the big time. Can he make the men's slalom final IDK but he was cheap and I needed $ for the rest of my team.

 

Elizabeth Montavon is also a dark horse butt have you seen her Instagram account?

[JeffSurdej]

@Horton interesting, the # 1 strategy is to pick skiers who get into each round, of course now that we have made slalom worth a lot more per buoys and are awarding podium points that theory might be changed a little, but I still think you are better off having the most skiers in semi finals and finals. For example 2 guys running 35 off only in finals beats having fred winter running 41 and no second skiers score.

 

Now moomba, remember MS and MJ have a night round so save your budget for those 2 events in my mind. And remember jacinta is skiing the mens night jump so she might be worth being the only WJ you draft

[JeffSurdej]

 

[Horton]

@JeffSurdej Darn it I didn't read your instructions carefully enough. let that be a lesson to everybody that the details are out there

[skibackwards]

@JeffSurdej Thanks for posting your roster. This will be easy to beat. (again)

 

[JeffSurdej]

@skibackwards care to make it interesting?

[robmollysilverlake]

Got my team saved, thanks @JeffSurdej for helping reset my roster last night and thanks for organizing the fantasy league!

[JeffSurdej]

Any interest out there in playing for $$$

[Horton]

@JeffSurdej yes

[JeffSurdej]

ok conference name is ShowMeTheMoney, password is $$$$, send $10 to surdiak@fantasywaterski.com. Lets see how many play and we can decide on winner take all or 1st-3rd.

[Bill22]

(trash talk begins)

@JeffSurdej That’s your team??? I thought you were trying to win?

[mfjaegersr]

Sooo, my same BOS roster applies...sorry....WINS...in both conferences (ShowMe too) then? Or separate rosters per conf?

 

 

[aupatking]

@Horton dark horse butt?

And yes, I have seen her instagram account. Several times. Today

@JeffSurdej shut up! I was gonna smoke John this weekend. I’m still going to beat him, possibly not so embarrassingly now though.... possibly

[Bill22]

@Luzz I need you to call Willie and ask if he is skiing the night slalom? Then DM me his answer and don’t tell anyone else. ;)

[Bill22]

@JeffSurdej when are you going to make Moomba night cash tournament a separate fantasy tournament? Seriously.

[JeffSurdej]

@mfjaegersr same rosters, no other way to do that in FWs as of now, unless you create a 2nd account and join conf that way which is fine with me

[Luzz]

@Bill22 sure, I'll get back to you… :/

hahaha

[JeffSurdej]

@Bill22 FWs tourneys with one event dont work. Not enough skiers to draft so we end up with a 50 way tie for 1st.

[Horton]

@JeffSurdej is night jump 3 qualifiers and one final? The winning jumper will have 2 scores?

 

Also where are the points for podium?

[Horton]

I almost started a xls sheet with the points and skiers and tried to do an analysis. Throwing darts seems almost a good.

 

 

[JeffSurdej]

@Horton podium is 100 for 1st, 50 for 2nd, 25 for 3rd, As for night jump I dont 100% know, the schedule makes it seem like one round 1 night but I swear in the past the night jump was multiple rounds, anymore out there know?

[Horton]

@JeffSurdej just to be clear a score of 6 @ 39 is now worth 240 pts?

[JeffSurdej]

@Horton no it's 192, which sounds low now that I say it out loud. So 6@39 is 114, so minus 90 is 24 *8=192. 1 @ 41=200, 2 @ 41=208, 3 @ 41=216, 4@41=224, 5@41=232, running 41 is equal to jumping 240.

[Horton]

28 through 39 is 5 passes. five passes times six balls is 30 balls. 30 *8= 240

 

what am I doing wrong?

 

[MattP]

@JeffSurdej the last few years they used each night as a qualifier for the night jump final.

[JeffSurdej]

@Horton i May have worded it wrong but scoring basically starts at 90 buoys for men which should be 32 off. So 91 buoys will now be considered 1 buoy times 8 FWS points. Women I’m starting at 84 buoys which is also 32 off for them.

[Horton]

@JeffSurdej I dropped you $10. Do I really have to change leagues to take your money?

[Horton]

never mind I didn't know I could belong to more than one conference

[Horton]

@rico Don't be scared

[rico]

I would play but it would be unfair to everyone.

[Horton]

Elizabeth Montavon! F! Yeah!

[mfjaegersr]

Pigozzi!!??? 1/2? Ouch!

[Horton]

I think I just realized an error in my strategy. next big multi-round three event tournament I'm doing it different.

[mfjaegersr]

Aaaaaand.....?

[aupatking]

@Horton you just now start hearing that Jaws music? I’ve got it playing for you

[Horton]

@aupatking I just looked at your picks. I would change my strategy could but I would not take your picks.

[Horton]

@rico

 

[aupatking]

I probably wouldn’t take my picks either. I’m trying something. We’ll see. I’m liking my chances, but there’s a big vulnerability. I’m just not sure that the numbers will hurt me.

[Horton]

@aupatking you mean that's a strategy? I thought you just got super drunk before you made your picks.

[rico]

The panda will take the money

[aupatking]

I’m betting on the drunk one @rico

[Horton]

@rico put the kids to bed and come on over. I just opened a bottle of Cabernet

[rico]

 

[rico]

I’m on your tail @Horton

 

[Horton]

OMG I have to learn to read! Night Slalom! I am an idiot.

[rico]

@horton crashed and burnt. @JeffSurdej is it all up to date? I think I am missing my WT Aliaksandra

[rico]

Nevermind I can see her now

[Horton]

@rico I have you exactly where I want you. This thing is not over yet. Leave @JeffSurdej alone he is busy replying to my texts
