NFA 2015-2016 Season Recap
So, another National Foul Association season is in the books. Let's take a look at how the final 3 days wrapped up.
Stat Corrections:
There were no stat corrections this week
Final 2015-2016 NFA Standings
1. Arlington Assaulters- 10740 pts (+125)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 10525 (+135)
3. Pgastan FC- 9990 (+200)
4. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 9270 (+130)
5. They Call Me Gamblor- 8880 (+205)
6. Baltimore Hitsquad- 8635 (+110)
7. F'N FLOPPERS 8455 (+75)
8. Ohsnappers!!!- 8170 (+70)
As I predicted in my last post on Monday (though it was very likely it would happen) the standings did not change. Ohsnappers!!! only put up 70 points and finishes off a dismal season well in the cellar. F'N FLOPPERS did not fair that well in the final three days either, only putting up 75 points, and his team faded away during the 2nd half of the season and he finishes the season in 7th place.
Baltimore Hitsquad came out of the cellar a few weeks ago and managed to stay up as he put up 110 points in the final 3 days but stays in 6th place. A nice rebound for the Hitsquad, maybe he can finish in the top 3 next season. They Call Me Gamblor had a great 3-day week by putting up 205 points, but he would stay in 5th place.
Rodman'sWeddingDress, the defending NFA Champion put up 130 points this week but was too far behind to trophy. Pgastan Foul Club completes a remarkable turn around after firing their GM on November 17th and hiring Nick Nalkin a few days later. On November 17th, PFC was actually in 7th place. To finish the season in 3rd place is an excellent result, surely they will be aiming for a title next year. Does this mean there is a place for analytics in NFA? Only time will tell.
Oww Ming's Flagrants was unable to catch Arlington Assaulters for the title as he only put up 135 points this week despite having DeMarcus Cousins. Again, Arlington Assautlers remains the only team to have ever won a title without Cousins or Dwight Howard. He put up 125 points this week and finishes off an almost wire-to-wire run (He was 25 points behind 1st place after week 1, took the lead in week 2 and never looked back).
Team Foul Stats
Looking at the full standings let's look at the team leaders in each category as well as total fouls in the NFA:
Personal Fouls
Total: 10,909
Leader: Arlington Assaulters with 1,480 (13.5% of all fouls in the NFA)
Low: Baltimore Hitsquad with 1195 (11% share)
Foul Outs
Total: 78
Leader: Oww Ming's Flagrants with 18 (23% of all foul outs in the NFA)
Low: Rodman'sWeddingDress with 6 (7.7% share)
Technical Fouls
Total: 260
Leader: Oww Ming's Flagrants with 46 (17.6% of all techies in the NFA)
Low: Ohsnappers!!! with 11 (4.2% share)
Flagrant Fouls
Total: 38
Leader: Arlington Assaulters with 9 (23.7% of all flagrant's in the NFA)
Low: Oww Ming's Flagrants with 1 (2.6% share)
Ejections
Total: 20
Leader: Rodman'sWeddingDress and Pgastan FC with 4 (each had a 20% share of all ejections in the NFA)
Low: Ohsnappers!!! with 0 (0% share)
I noticed in the past some teams would have over 60 techies in a season. Does this mean there are less fouls in the NFA or are managers getting smarter so it's harder for one team to hoard a bunch of performance fouls. It looks like PFC holds the record for most techies in a season with 60 (2012-2013 season). It's hard to see any trends as NFA has not always had 8 teams. Can really only compare to last year as we have the same managers from last year this year.
NFA Titles:
Rodman'sWeddingDress 3 - 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2014-2015
Pgastan FC (formerly Donkey Engine and Steam Donkey FC) 2 - 2009-2010 and 2012-2013
Arlington Assaulters 2- 2013-2014 and 2015-2016
Final Points Graph:
Well that's it for now. Check back in a few days for the 2015-2016 End of the Season Donkies!

Week 24 Roundup: Tommy Tutone Edition
So it has come to this, the final 3 days of the National Foul Association. I was going to call this post "Final 3 Days Edition" but then I saw They Call Me Gamblor's score so had to change it.
Stat Corrections
- There were no stat corrections this week
Standings as of April 11, 2016
1. Arlington Assaulters- 10615 pts (+280)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 10390 (+425)
3. Pgastan FC- 9790 (+415)
4. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 9140 (+395)
5. They Call Me Gamblor- 8675 (+310)
6. Baltimore Hitsquad- 8525 (+245)
7. F'N FLOPPERS 8380 (+285)
8. Ohsnappers!!!- 8100 (+315)
Ohsnappers!!! put up an average 315 points but remains in last place. F'N FLOPPERS had a por week only putting up 285 points, but remains in 7th place. Baltimore Hitsquad also had a poor week, in fact the worst week in the league, by only putting up 245 points and remains in 6th place. He is 150 points behind 5th place with 3 days to go, can he make it from 8th place from the majority of the season to 5th? They Call Me Gamblor decided to give a shoutout to Tommy Tutone this week after an average week of 310 points results in him have 8675 total points.
As for the top half of the standings, Rodman'sWeddingDress put up 395 points this week but remains in 4th place, 650 points behind Pgastan Foul Club. PFC put up 415 points and remains in 3rd place. Oww Ming's Flagrants put up 425 points this week and was able to gain on Arlington Assaulters as he is now only 225 points behind 1st. Arlington Assaulters put up 280 points and remains in 1st place.
Is there enough time for time for Baltimore Hitsquad to catch 5th place? Is there enough time for Oww Ming's Flagrants to catch Arlington Assaulters and pull off an incredible comeback? Those are basically the only races left as of now. Pgastan FC is 650 points up on Rodman'sWeddingDress and it's hard to put up that many points in a 7-day week let alone a short 3-day week that we have now. I suppose, 6th, 7th, and 8th could potentially swap places if one of the teams has a huge 3 days but it's got to be unlikely. The most likely outcome come Thursday is that there were no changes in the standings.
In fact Pgastan FC is 600 points behind Oww Ming's Flagrants and as mentioned above, PFC is 650 points ahead of Rodman'sWeddingDress, who is 465 points ahead of They Call Me Gamblor, so it is unlikely we will see any movement in the middle of the standings.
Transactions
- Pgastan FC added Isaiah Thomas and dropped John Wall on April 9th
- Arlington Assaulters added Quincy Acy and dropped Tony Allen on April 10th
Well, that's it for now. Come back in a few days to see how the season finished up.

Week 23 Roundup: Penultimate Edition
That's right, it's the last full week of NFA and penultimate weekly roundup (though I guess I'll write a roundup next Monday and the following Thursday to finalize everything . Actually, looking at the blog from last year, I titled the week 23 post the exact same thing, so we'll just go with this). Anyway, let's get to the roundup.

- There were no stat corrections this wek
Standings as of April 4, 2016
1. Arlington Assaulters- 10335 pts (+455)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 9965 (+445)
3. Pgastan FC- 9375 (+475)
4. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 8745 (+440)
5. They Call Me Gamblor- 8365 (+350)
6. Baltimore Hitsquad- 8280 (+335)
7. F'N FLOPPERS 8095 (+235)
8. Ohsnappers!!!- 7785 (+260)
Ohsnappers!!! put up a paltry 260 points and remains in last place, not likely to break out of the cellar in 9 days so most likely will finish there. However, 260 points was not the worst weekly total, that distinction goes to F'N FLOPPERS who put up 235 points for the 2nd consecutive week. Though, that was enough for him to join the 8000 point club. Baltimore Hitsquad put up an average week of 335 points but remains in 6th place. They Call Me Gamblor scored 350 points and remains in 5th place. The 3-way duel between 7th, 6th, and 5th is not as close as it was a few weeks ago, mainly with F'N FLOPPERS falling further behind 6th. Though the duel for 5th is still very much alive.
Now for the top half of the standings. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a nice great week by putting up 440 points but remains in 4th place. In fact, he did not gain on 3rd at all as Pgastan Foul Club also had a great week by putting up 475 points. PFC's lead for the bronze trophy is 630 points. Can PFC hold on for the trophy?
For the top 2, Oww Ming's Falgrants had cut Arlington Assaulters lead down to a mere 100 points early in the week but ultimately Arlington Assaulters gained 10 points on OMF this week. OMF had a great week of 445 points, but AA had an just a little better week by putting up 455 points.
Transactions
- F'N FLOPPERS added Zaza Pachulia and dropped Omri Casspi on April 2nd
- Arlington Assaulters dropped Brook Lopez on April 3rd
- Pgastan FC dropped Jerami Grant on April 3rd
- F'N FLOPPERS added Marvin Williams and dropped Nerlens Noel on April 3rd
- F'N FLOPPERS added Toney Douglas and dropped Thaddeus Young on April 3rd
Points Graph
Decided to throw in a points graph this week and then I will post the final points graph on my NFA 2015-2016 season review post
