C'mon, there's a lot of playoff money on the line during these next three weeks. You folks have been mighty quiet on these boards this off-season, which I consider a good thing!! :lol: But let's hear some prayers on these boards now. Let's start with the Thursday Night Game.

What do you need tonight to push you into the lead in your league and in the overall championships? Let's hear it and let's have some fun. It's the best time of the year!! :D

Thanks all and let's have fun tonight.

A battle of field goals would be awesome (have both Walsh and Catanzaro).

Nothing better than starting your week with a big game from your kicker!

Is there any way to see the % owned for players on the teams in the overall championship rounds?

Yes. For the Primetime:

(1) Click on a team name in the overall standings
(2) Copy and paste the roster into a spreadsheet
(3) Repeat 124 times
(4) Control-F a players name and note the frequency
(5) Divide the frequency by 124

:D

It's not as far fetched as you think. If you know how to manage the data inside of a an excel pivot table it's a fun tool. It's the menotiny of the 124 copy and paste actions. I did it every week in baseball for 24 teams. At least this would be a 1 time thing and the pivot will give you %'s and the ability to look up a team with a couple of mouse clicks.

I was hoping to avoid it, hence the question. Thanks.

Joe, if it helps, I went through this exact process myself.

Sorry to be the bearer of this news.

You have to go team-by-team to see how many of each player is owned.

There's no % owned column.

Capice? :D

I was the guy who did % owned for Primetime last two years and Classic last year. It was a pain in the ass :D

You can't even copy/paste because some people have players at RB/WR/TE and that throws off the pivot table.
