Where do you rank?

[eyepatrol]

Just wondering where everyone is ranked at with the overall Yahoo league. Right now, I'm in 30,350th place.....91st percentile. Curious where the "big dogs" are at in our FM group?

[harvey lee]

First off,Iam not a big dog.

99th percentile.

rank-2852

I was up to 1540 once,but have since dropped.It would be cool to crack the top ten in the nation but its a few hundred points away.

[jbell1981]

98th percentile and overall rank is 3904

[wyldewal]

I'm at 6187 in the 98% the highest I went was 2000 something in the 99%. I was even down in the 93% at one time. A few good weeks can really help.

This is my best year in the yahoo league. To date, 7,703 place. From what I can figure there are approximately 250,000 people playing.

If there are 250,000 people playing this year then I'am really lucky being in the top 1%.

[eyepatrol]

Pretty solid group here.

Actually from what I just found out there are more than 358,000 people playing.

Gee with that many guys, my 92,190th rank doesn't seem QUITE as pathetic... well, maybe it still is!!!! At least I moved up from the mid 122 thousands where I was a couple weeks ago.

[eyepatrol]

Lawdog....I got a feeling you'll be coming into your own here pretty soon. I know for myself, I'm burning up some pretty darn good drivers pretty darn fast. Those last 5 - 10 races will be dicey for me!

[harvey lee]

Thats when the standings will probably change fast.One has to take it easy on the good drivers or you will run out and then you have to use whats left and not who is good at what track.One needs to do some planning ahead of time.I would not worry about winning a week with the high points,but more a good average for every week.This will show up with approx 10 races to go just like the final run for the drivers.

Jbell where did you come up with the extra 100,000. I used this formula (3/100 x N = 7703)to get 256,766. Just curious if I missed something?

Never mind the percentages are throughing the whole thing off. now I get anywhere from 195,000 to 337,222

I just set up my other yahoo account with a team. I picked the worst drivers possible. By sunday evening I should be just about at the bottom. Ill post my rank when I find out.

[lawdog]

Airjer, at that 92000+ place I mentioned, I'm still in the 74th percentile, so I'm thinking there must be about the 350-360K that he mentioned, just guessing and not knowing about ties and such...

[harvey lee]

If I'am in the top 1 percent and ranked at 2852,my math would say there is a least 285,200 players.1 percent of 285,200 is 2852-correct and thats if I'am in last place of the 285,200.

[lawdog]

right lee, but are there 2800 or 3500 or 5200 that make up the top 1%??? I don't think we can ever get it exactly right because we don't know that and they don't seem willing to say how many are playing.

[harvey lee]

You cant know without your exact percentile of ranking.One thing for sure,there are alot more playing than I thought.

I'm ahead of the dog..........for now anyway! That is where I rank!

[TNFL]

Overall Rank: 75,080

Percentile: 79th

[harvey lee]

With those figures being used,I'am luckier than I thought.That figures out be the top.71 percentile.

[Jeremy airjer W]

Silly jbell, Tricks are for kids!!

[eyepatrol]

Well, I just made my picks a short time ago. Trying to save on the better drivers right now, so you can look for me to drop quickly in the ranks!

[TNFL]

I thought you get 9 uses/driver per half season. Is it 9 uses for the entire year?

[jbell1981]

Yeap, 9 starts per driver for the whole year.
