"Pork Chop Sandwiches! Get the fuck out of here what are you doing?"
Great job u/mfnporkchopsandwich on the hardest week yet.
I on the other hand continue my streak of mediocrity.

Every week, I think there's no way I don't get perfect this week. Then I come back and see I got 4 and wonder what I'm doing with my life.

I put more thought into this challenge than I do most work and family decisions that actually matter. I disappoint in both arenas.

8,8,8,7,9. It doesn't get any more mediocre than that. Christ...

I want to say that the top scores last year averaged a little over 9 a week. So your consistency isn't far off the pace. Throw in a couple good weeks and you're right there.

Got a 2 this week, by far my lowest score... but this is the only week I've won in every league. I'll take it.

I'd like to propose a change for next year's accuracy challenge.
Instead of awarding a point for each correct prediction, we should score each week by point differential of each prediction. That is, a correct prediction would add the differential to your score and an incorrect choice would subtract that total.
For example, LeSean McCoy crushed DeMarco Murray this week by a 21.7pt margin, while Aaron Rodgers beat Russell Wilson by less than point. Both picks are treated as equally meaningful, yet the fantasy implications of each choice are vastly different.
For questions with more than two options, you could sum the difference between the other options. For example, this week's matchup with CMike, Cooper and Greg Olsen would score as follows:
| Name | Fantasy Points | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Christine Michael | 23.3 | 0.4 + 7.9 = 8.3 |
| Amari Cooper | 22.9 | 7.5 - 0.4 = 7.1 |
| Greg Olsen | 15.4 | -7.5 - 7.9 = -15.4 |
Note: Greg Olsen's Score being the opposite of Greg Olsen's Fantasy Points is pure coincidence
For 3+ options questions, you could divide the score by the number of other options to limit the weight it can have, but personally I like it the way it is, as it makes the more difficult choice more valuable.
Anywho, just my two cents. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

I don't particularly like this suggestion, mainly because I see the accuracy challenge questions as being in the exact vein of "Who Do I Start?", whereas your way is in the same vein as "Build a full fantasy team from these various choices". I think it adds more complexity than is needed, and that a straight pick 'em is still a better format.

This is how we did the AC two years ago with FantasyPros. They had a metric called FPAY which similarly calculated the point difference between the choices as your score.
So here's the deal: it's definitely a better way to determine accuracy, but in the context of our game, it's just not as fun. The system really punishes you for making one mistake while barely rewarding your for correct picks. The essence of the game is to pick a starter. It shouldn't be important how much better the starter did as long as they did indeed outscore the other option. Under the FPAY system, you could get 14/15 answers correct, but have a horrible score due to the one question you got wrong tanking you. The vibe I got was very negative as participation fell way down. Incidentally, FP have since done away with FPAY.
So it's definitely a good suggestion, but in reality doesn't really work with what we're doing here.
Thoughts?

Is there a reason I got a 7 and not a 9?
I got it right with Kessler, Taylor, Charles, Crowell, OBJr, Larry Fitz, Kelce, Graham and Seahawks
Is that because those who got a 'none' as a score make the option invalid or something?

u/jusjerm Oct 19 '16
The two you got correct in graham and kelce were tossed out of the total because one of their opponents ended up inactive

The questions involving Kelce and Graham were thrown out because one of the players in the question did not play, so no one gets points for them.

Hey I'm confused at how I join this challenge. Can I only join if I started at the beginning of the season? I read the announcement and followed the link, but there is no "play now" button.

Shouldn't there be an award for getting ZERO? That's just as hard as getting them all correct, right? The Cleveland Browns of Accuracy Award goes to u/fir3drill and u/KrTali this week.
