I lost 6 points somehow. Sweet.Wow. If you haven't looked at the standings/scoring there were very significant changes from this morning.

I lost 3 points, and my biggest complaint (I lost anyway) is it is so hard to figure out where, and how the points were calculated. If you click on a player on your squad a flyout window opens that repeats his point total but gives no details. You have to then click on that and open his profile in a new window, which finally tells you how he earned his points.I lost 6 points somehow. Sweet.
I finally counted the entry fees and I think I am waiting for 3 of them One is NYCFC_Dan who said he would be late and has permission per an exchange earlier in the thread.
The other two are Jon and adam. Adam, I remember last year you paid me in person at a game. You planning to do the same this year? That's fine, just please let me know the details. Jon I need to hear from you too.
No big thing.Sorry, flaked on that. Just let me know how to forward the money to you. I must have missed a post about this.

With unlimited weekly transfers, you probably don't need to worry too much about the scheduling. It's not like someone will get screwed with a roster full of bye week players like I did in FPL this week!2018 PIGEON CUP FORMAT
This turned out to be a bit tricky because I wanted to avoid the World Cup and because of the split season.
The Group stage is going to consist of 3 groups of 4 teams. Each will play each other "home and away" for a total of 6 group matches to decide who moves on to the knockout round. The top 2 in each group and the 2 best 3rd place finishes will move on to the quarterfinal knockout round and be seeded by 1st place finishers (1-3), 2nd place finishers (4-6) and 3rd place finishers (7-8).
The groups will be set according to the standings at the end of Week 9. I will plug the standings into a round robin scheduling program and set the schedule then.
Group A = 1st, 6th, 7th, 12th
Group B = 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th
Group C = 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th
The first round of Group play will be weeks 10-12 (May 4th to May 21st). Then there will be a lengthy World Cup break and the second round of group play will be weeks 22-24 (July 25th to August 12th).
Quarterfinals = Week 26 (August 22-26)
Semifinals = Week 27 (August 29-September 2)
Finals = Week 29 (September 12-16)
MLS fantasy sometimes changes which games are which weeks. I tried to avoid heavy DGWs international breaks and funky weeks as much as possible based on the information available while having 3 consecutive weeks for the group stages. If the fantasy schedule changes we can talk about tweaking this schedule like we did last year. Who will be the third Pigeon Cup winner???
True -- the DGWs tend to get everyone picking the same players though and I figured its better if all the MLS players are in the country and can play if healthy.With unlimited weekly transfers, you probably don't need to worry too much about the scheduling.

Yeah, I have a problem of setting my lineup early in the week and then not checking on it later. Had Villa and Tinny with DNPs and then had PC on my bench, who had the additional game suspension later announced.I still don't have the mentality of remembering to check the lineups -- screwed me bad this week with Tinny and Villa.
I'm realizing now that, more so than ever before, having backups (if you're paying attention like I wasn't) is complete waste of $$s.
I am hopeless this year. Partly this problem, and partly every hunch I have goes wrong. I'm probably already out of the running for the first half, and might not be able to compete in the second half based on squad value.Yeah, I have a problem of setting my lineup early in the week and then not checking on it later.

Our league is tough. 5 teams out of 12 in the top 500 globally right now.I am hopeless this year. Partly this problem, and partly every hunch I have goes wrong. I'm probably already out of the running for the first half, and might not be able to compete in the second half based on squad value.
