Week 8 Roundup: Final Iowa Edition

As I write this blog post, my last from Iowa, I reflect on the previous almost 6 years of this blog which I started while in school here. The blog has come a long way, basically just started it as a satirical outlet for the NFA but it evolved into league commentary. Did not want to write analysis since I am competing against other managers but maybe someday it will (though I highly doubt it). I should be able to keep this blog going in the next few weeks but may miss a weekly post. I will keep the spreadsheet active though and should not miss weekly score updates. With that said, let's get into the final chapter from Iowa.

Stat Corrections
There were a lot of relevant stat corrections this week that had effect on the standings.

- Alex Len had a technical foul taken away from him retroactive to November 18th. GG Foulin' did not have him active that week so he does not lose 40 points. 
- Demarcus Cousins had a technical foul taken away from him retroactive to November 27th. Arlington Assaulters had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
- Patrick Beverley had a technical foul taken away from him retroactive to November 29th. Oww Ming's Flagrants had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
- Hasan Whitside had a technical foul taken away from him retroactive to November 30th. Pgastan FC had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
- Chris Paul was assessed a flagrant foul retroactive to December 2nd. They Call Me Gamblor had him active that week so he gains 80 points.
- Markieff Morris had a technical foul taken away from him retroactive to December 5th. Pgastan FC had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
- Demarcus Cousins had a technical foul taken away from him retroactive to December 12th. Arlington Assaulters had him active that week so he loses 40 points.

A recap of the stat corrections:

Pgastan FC and Arlington Assaulters both lose 80 points
They Call Me Gamblor gained 80 points
Oww Ming's Flagrants loses 40 points
GG Foulin' did not have his player active so no points change.

300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week

Going to start from the top today. Oww Ming's Flagrants and GG Foulin' swapped places this week but are only separated by 5 points (or 1 personal foul). Arlington Assaulters remains in 3rd place and only 110 points back of 1st (105 behind 2nd). Ohsnappers!!! had a great week and remains in 4th further distancing himself from Pgastan FC who had a poor week of 265 points (though this was due to losing 80 points in stat corrections). F'N FLOPPERS had a great week and closed the gap on 5th but still remains 185 points back. They Call Me Gamblor remains in 7th place after an excellent week. Baltimore Hitsquad and Rodman'sWeddingDress sqapped places at the bottom and both remain the only clubs not to reach the 3,000 point plateau but the difference between 8th and 0th is only 20 points.

Points Graph:



The NFA continues to take shape and this week we have 2 duels (8th/9th and 1st/2nd) bookending (word?) the rest of the league in which the teams seem to be evenly spaced out.

Well that's it for now

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
