General Updates
Josh wins the weekly high score bonus, with 149 points.
Adam and DJ are at risk for Survivor elimination, as neither were able to crack 100 points in week 9. Jason and Andy appear safe from elimination.
DJ has officially clinched a playoff spot. Amazingly, Matt has yet to be officially eliminated from playoff contention.
Matt is the only team yet to reach 1,000 points.
DJ controversially takes the lead in “A Win’s a win” bonus, his low score of 98.3 was enough to beat Matt, who didn’t really try.
The Farley Rule
In what feels like what will become an annual tradition, Matt has fallen in violation of The Farley Rule, after failing to start a complete and competitive lineup. Just like last year, his blunder had serious league consequences. Had he managed his team properly he would have ended DJ’s undefeated streak, beating him 100.05 to 98.30. The David vs. Goliath storyline was there to be told, but Matt fell mute when it mattered most.
Matt also would’ve taken the lead in the “A Win’s a win” bonus, but instead DJ now holds that advantage.
The Farley Rule, and all exceptions to The Farley Rule, are subject to interpretation and deliberation by the League Commissioner. The verdict and subsequent punitive action(s) may be overturned by a vote among all league members, requiring 7 votes in favor to overturn.
The following factors were considered in determining the level of punitive action to impose:
This is the second violation by the Manager which had serious implications on league outcomes.
A reminder was sent in the league update on 11/2, as well as discussions via text between 11/2 and 11/4.
On 11/4 at 10:19 AM the Manager edited his lineup to move his Bye week RB to his bench. It is reasonable to assume he could have moved his other eligible RB into the starting lineup at this time.
The Manager dropped his Kicker to acquire a RB off waivers on 11/5 at 2:07 PM, more than 1 hour after the 1:00 PM games started.
VERDICT: GUILTY
PUNITIVE ACTION: $25 FINE, TO BE APPLIED TO THE PRIZE POOL
The fine will be applied to the tracking spreadsheet, and will be due upon the completion of the season.
