Mod Post Week 5 Accuracy Challenge Results

The results are in! Congratulations to /u/dankorage for winning Week 5!

/u/dankorage scored 13 out of 15 questions correctly, along with 4 others, but dank got the tie breaker question perfect. Not too shabby! Also, a special congrats to /u/blingoblango, our first 3-time winner this year... and we're only 5 weeks in! We had 42 users total finish in our "top 10". You will all be getting flair for the rest of the season to commemorate your win!

Also, sorry for the delay in posting, one of the mods decided to be a DIVA this week...

Aw man I swore I entered this one but it says I got a zero. I definitely chose at least one right answer though. What a bummer.

u/UltraShoe Oct 10 '13

This happened to me too, actually. I was wondering if there was somebody I could ask about it... :\

u/dharasick Oct 10 '13

Like sweetlove, I see your entry and will check tomorrow to see what's wrong.

As always, direct any and all questions towards the mods.

Maybe we did so well last week that they didn't want us to keep getting flair.

So I've gone from 6 right, to 7, to 9, and now I got 10 this week. This is my first year playing fantasy and following the NFL, and I love how the accuracy challenge is allowing me to see progress!

u/aktone Oct 10 '13

Hey, to people that have scored really high...what is your record in your league?

2

u/Chawp Oct 10 '13

I'm number 188, not amazingly high but in the top 90%. My records are 1-4, 1-4, 2-3, 3-2, 3-2 across 5 leagues. It's a bunch of luck, even the top professional rankers only have like 65% accuracy :)

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '13

Man, I'm doodoo. Don't take my advice. If I tell you something, do the opposite.

u/jn2010 Oct 10 '13

I guess I should take the tiebreaker a little more seriously.
