Bruno Boys, Draft Sharks Lead 2010 Fantasy Football Accuracy

Saturday, January 29th, 2011

Bruno Boys and Draft Sharks led the way in year four of the Accuracy Challenge created by the Fantasy Football Librarian.

Announced by co-manager Donnie Campbell of TheMostCredible.com at the Fantasy Sports Trade Association awards dinner Tuesday night in Las Vegas — and via The New York TimesFifth Down blog Wednesdsay — the Accuracy Challenge recognized Bruno Boys for delivering the most accurate set of preseason fantasy football rankings in 2010.

Draft Sharks, meanwhile, stood alone atop the ranks in football stat projections, edging 2009 winner RotoHog.

Not to be pushed aside, RotoHog managed to come out on top for the second straight year in baseball projections.

FF Librarian’s Accuracy Challenge Open for New Season

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

There are an ever-growing number of “experts” out here in fantasyland and a new segment of ranking-the-rankers type outlets cropping up. The FF Librarian, however, is heading into her fourth season of holding the pros’ opinions against them.

Sara Holladay, the aforementioned Fantasy Football Librarian — collaborating with Donnie Campbell of TheMostCredible.com and Bill Green of FantasyDispute.com — has announced the opening of Season 4 of her Accuracy Challenge and the third to be affiliated with the Fantasy Sports Trade Association.

As part of this challenge, anyone with an online fantasy football outlet and published rankings and/or projections can submit for judgment, with the results announced at the FSTA’s winter conference as well as reported via FFLibrarian.com and The New York Times‘ Fifth Down blog.

Rankings and projections are due before 8:30 p.m. Eastern Sept. 9, which is the approximate time for kickoff of the season-opening Saints-Vikings game (as if you didn’t know). Late submissions will be accepted, as long as the organizers can verify that the lists were published before the first game.

Entrants must submit rankings for their top 25 quarterbacks, 50 running backs, 50 wide receivers and 20 tight ends in Excel format. The template for projections submissions can be downloaded via the FSTA website.

Past overall winners included CBSSports.com in 2009, Fantazzle.com in 2008 and Ask the Commish in 2007, (under what appeared to be a different scoring format).

Rankings entries should go to fflibrarian@gmail.com.

Projections entries should be sent to FSTA.Accuracy.Contest@gmail.com, dc@themostcredible.com, greenbill@fantasydispute.com and fflibrarian@gmail.com.

Anyone who believes their 2010 baseball stat projections are the best around can now start testing that theory.

FSTA.Accuracy.Contest@gmail.com
dc@themostcredible.com

FSB Daily 1/29: Accuracy Challenge, KFFL, FSC, One for the Gamers

Friday, January 29th, 2010

A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.

– We provided a short report Wednesday on CBS Sports winning the 2009 football rankings Accuracy Challenge, run by the Fantasy Football Librarian. Well, here’s much more information on the competition and the finishers via the Librarian’s post on The New York Times’ “Fifth Down” blog. A full list of participants can be found on the FF Librarian blog.

– KFFL didn’t win any of the Accuracy Challenge categories but did finish an impressive second in both the baseball and football stat-projection portions. Aside from making sure that everyone was aware of that, KFFL’s Nicholas Minnix took the time to name the various people who have contributed.

– The BlogTalkRadio folks have reason to be happy after their Fantasy Sports Channel took home two Fantasy Sports Trade Association awards at the winter conference in Las Vegas this week.

– I would never classify myself as a “gamer,” so the Blood Bowl concept doesn’t really appeal to me. That isn’t to say, of course, that a gory football game featuring orcs and other fantasy creatures isn’t interesting. It also can’t hurt Kyle Turley to have another league in which he qualifies.
