A good measure of an on-line league is how often the participants... well, participate. There have been fourteen sims in this season. How often did people send me uploads? Well, here are the results:
River Cities -- 14 uploads (Perfect!)
Seattle -- 14 uploads (Perfect!)
South Bay -- 14 uploads (Perfect!)
Saskatoon -- 12 uploads (sims 1, 3, 5-14)
Danville -- 11 uploads (1-4, 8-14)
Hickory -- 11 uploads (1, 3-6, 8-13)
Houston -- 9 uploads (2-6, 8, 11-12, 14)
Denver - 4 uploads (1, 4, 11, 13)
Covington -- 3 uploads (3, 4, 7)
New York -- 3 uploads (2, 5, 7)
Walla Walla -- 2 uploads (2, 8)
Out of 154 possible uploads (14 sims * 11 teams [I make my changes directly in the game]), there were a total of 97 sims, for a 63% upload rate.
Uploads included all uploads (whether successful or not) and any email messages with roster changes/moves (or even an email saying "No changes this week").

Now that's interesting? Which is the chicken and which is the egg?
ReplyDeleteDo teams that u/l more often do better or do owners that are more interested (winning) u/l more often because they're interested?
I was just preparing a post to explore that same question!

I also came to say the same thing. Maybe I'm just too inept for my interest to have its natural effect.
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be the latter, Nate. While I've never been in that situation with this league, I can tell you that my interest is sapped once I fall out of contention in other fantasy leagues.
ReplyDeleteI think its the not winning part that kept me from uploading more. I still made sure to read this and to check the standings and that sort of thing, but unless I had a trade or something to do, I didn't see much point in updating anything. Pack it in for next year and all.
ReplyDeletePersonally I just didn't have any changes to make. I don't even have a real pro roster on my Major league team, let alone have any options to bring anybody up. Other than over two week injuries, there was just nothing to change. My minor league managers are highly unbalanced, so people were put in Farm levels based on the Manager I wanted, rather than performance reports, so they didn't change either.
ReplyDeleteTo my fine friends in Denver:
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, you can move minor league managers from team to team to fit the talent. You have to ask Zev to do it, but it can be done. I move mine once or twice a season based on which minor league team has the best hitters, which has the pitchers, etc.
