Fantasy Report

I was looking at our stats in our faculty fantasy basketball league, and I wondered that, instead of head-to-head, what if we had agreed to a Rotisserie format? For those unfamiliar with the fantasy format, Rotisserie involves ranking the total stats of each team, and assigning points to each rank. The scores of all the stats are added up, and the total number of points will be your ranking, unlike head-to-head, where the stats only matter on a weekly basis.

Running the numbers through Excel, I came up with what might have been our current Rotisserie standing:

Team Rotisserie points Current Rank

1. Dojoboys 92 1st
2. Skylark Express 87.5 9th
3. asianbites 76 2nd
4. Team Magis 74.5 3rd
5. burnik's kuyukots 70 5th
6. Blues Angles 69.5 4th
7. Team JT 69 12th
8. Ratboo Warriors 68.5 11th
9. Rolando's Magic 65 7th
10. Blue Jersey Pwets 60 8th
11. zyxwv 58 6th
12. Boston Coltics 55 13th
13. linus12 50 10th
14. The Green Monster 50 14th

As the chart shows, the main beneficiary would have been the Skylark Express, which would vault from 9th to 2nd place, and the team that would lose the most would have been zyxwv, which would plummet to 11th. Strangely though, the first place and the last place teams didn't change.

Of course, this doesn't take into consideration the fact that, in Rotisserie leagues, there is a maximum limit to games played per position, and this table doesn't take that factor into account. Still, it would be interesting if we had decided to do Rotisserie instead of head-to-head. Of course, in a Rotisserie league, teams that fall behind do have a difficult time getting out of their predicament, so the head-to-head is more favorable for personal leagues, because that means that everybody has a chance of rising up in the standings.
