2017, the year of the Bortles

Our next set deals with SHEEP answers, and which players had the most of them.

Are they good or bad? On one hand, they are better than an incorrect, but on the other, they are the highest-scoring, most common correct answer. Entrants will be ranked from most SHEEP answers to fewest.

Last year, sixfour led the way with 14. This year, our leader again reached double-digits, but it was not that high.

Congratulations to our 2019 leader - kl352! kl352 SHEEPed 11 times out of 19 correct answers, edging out JMurder3 and Yippee ki-yay.

At the other end, both El'sPal and esad did not register a SHEEP in 2019.

The rankings are below, tied entrants are listed alphabetically.

0 - El'sPal, esad

The next set of rankings puts the SHEEP answers in a little bit of context, as this set will show the percentage of time an entrant SHEEPed when answering correctly.

As we know, both esad and El'sPal will lead the way at 0. In terms of those that SHEEPed at least once, TehBankertin is on top, SHEEPing once in 14 correct answers.

At the other end, JMurder3 brings up the rear, as he SHEEPed 10 times in his 16 correct answers.

The rankings are listed below, tied entrants are listed alphabetically.

Time now for the rankings dealing with streaks.

First, we have the Top 10 streaks of correct answers from the 2019 game.

A year ago, nobody reached double-digits. In 2019 though, our champ MaqEvil strung together 10 off the start, and Woodsy bettered that streak by 1. But congrats go out to Outdrawed84! He started the game with 13 straight correct answers, and that was tops in 2019.

Podium-finisher bradha26 is the only entrant to appear twice.

The Top 10 list is below; tied entrants are listed alphabetically. A streak of at least 7 straight correct answers was needed to make the list.

TOP 10 STREAKS OF CONSECUTIVE CORRECT ANSWERS

1. Outdrawed84 - 13 (Questions 1-13)

2. Woodsy - 11 (Questions 1-11)

Here is the seven-year summary for streaks of correct answers. The cutoff for this Top 10 is 10, so the three best streaks from 2019 are added.

Priptonite appears on this list twice.

Nobody appears on both 2019 lists, but the following appear twice on this list:
Bidz, El'sPal, Johnsy, pokergrader

A streak of at least 5 was needed to make this Top 10.

It's feels good to be number 1 at something.

Now it's time for everyone's average score when answering incorrectly.

MaqEvil barely cracked the top half, but the other two podium finishers find themselves in the Top 3.

Aurora Tom ran the hottest in 2019! His average score of 19.29 when wrong nudged out tommy123 for the top spot. At the other end, wheatrich and his average of 25.50 was the worst.

For comparison's sake, the average of all 25 wrong answers was 24.20.

We will now look at everyone's average raw score.

The lower your number is, the more "original" your entry was, regardless of correct/incorrect answers. A score of 1.00 would indicate that for all 25 questions, you were the only one to submit a particular answer for that question.

1urker led the way last season with 3.04, but in 2019 the most original entrant was esad with a raw score of 2.64! Also near the top again were Needle77 and RunRunPassPunt; they were both in the Top 6 in 2018, and the Top 4 in 2019.

At the other end, the least original entrant was AllInNTheDark with a score of 10.72.

The 2020 OP/questions will be up sometime Thursday or Friday.

Of course I'm hopeful that all 32 teams will play all 16 games, but that is probably an underdog to happen. As a result, I'll be wording the questions a little differently for the 2020 game.

Good luck folks!

In 2019, 6 different players joined THE CLUB in 4 posts.

C Bids joined in Week 1, after answering with Baltimore.
Frenchy joined in Week 1, after answering with Washington.
Bob Dobelina and Gasso joined after Q 21; they each answered with Atlanta.
El'sPal and Searix also joined after Q 21; they both answered with Pittsburgh.

Here is a final look back at the 4 CLUB posts from the 2019 game:

I'm really sorry for the delays for the 2020 game and OP. It'll be up Wednesday.

no rush KK...we're all just thankful you put in the effort.

Hahaha I totally forgot about being in The Club. I'm probably gonna do it again. That'll make me a VIP

In terms of the career CLUB, only Searix moved from 1 to 2 this year, 2 away from Needle77. All others that joined did so for the first time.

The full list is below:

CAREER CLUB (2013-2019 ONLY)

4 times - Needle77 (1 time in 2014, 3 times in 2017)

3 times - No one

2 times - royalblue (2 times in 2014), Searix (1 time in 2017, 1 time in 2019), trollface (2 times in 2016)

1 time - accobra_kid (2013), Amru (2017), BillNye (2018), Bob Dobelina (2019), C Bids (2019), clowntable (2014), DisGunBGud (2017), El'sPal (2019), eleanor60 (2017), Frenchy (2019), Gamer Dude (2018), Gasso (2019), Gonzirra (2013), gusmahler (2013), Ineedaride2 (2017), phialpha1856* (2015), Precept24 (2017), pwnsall (2013), PyramidScheme (2015), rmthawk64 (2013), Scherer716 (2013), SoloAJ (2015), spoonfox (2013), Zimmer4141 (2018)


* - this poster played previously as 'wangpirate', but was phialpha1856 at the time of the 2015 game.

wow, I haven't had an ace since Blake Bortles in 2015. I think I got a 2-pointer last year though.

the 2020 game thread is up https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/4.../#post56476914

It's now time to see who 'led' the category of giving the 'Worst of the Worst' answer most often.

Most of the time, the worst answer of a reveal is self-explanatory. Here are the ones that weren't:

1) Anytime someone joined THE CLUB, that was automatically that reveal's worst answer. That happened with Questions 1 and 21.

2) For Question 11, the 9 entrants that picked players that didn't play in either London or Mexico were all worst.

3) For Question 13, the 12 entrants that picked players that didn't play on Thanksgiving were all worst.

4) For Question 22, the 2 entrants that thought New England would go 16-0 were both worst.


Last year, iversonian 'led' the way with 7, but no one reached that number in 2019. Our 2 co-winners, with 5, were lukethefluke and Schlitz mmmm. Congratulations!

At the other end, 32 of the 81 entrants did not submit a single WotW this past season.

The rankings are below, and tied entrants are listed alphabetically. Like I did with the aces, the number(s) in parentheses after your name represent the number(s) of the questions where you qualified.

FINAL RANKINGS BASED ON # OF TIMES SUBMITTING A "WORST OF THE WORST" ANSWER

5 - lukethefluke (8,13,17,20,24), Schlitz mmmm (8,11,18,23,24)

The next sets deal with the game's 25 questions.

First up, I've ranked the questions in terms of entrant correct answers, going from easiest to hardest.

Now, the questions are ranked by average entrant score, going from lowest to highest.

Question 19 (which was sixth-easiest) gave us the lowest average, at 10.75. In terms of highest, Question 21 (which tied for fourteenth-hardest) had the highest, at 27.75. This is because the SHEEP for that question was 31, and incorrect answers scored 36.

The rankings are below:

BEST ENTRANT ANSWER

This is the question that provided the highest average entrant score:

The average score for Q 21 was 27.75 points. The SHEEP (Indy) was worth 31 points, and the 31 incorrect pickers each scored 36.

BEST ANSWER GIVEN BY AN ENTRANT RELATIVE TO FIELD AVERAGE

Our 2 winners here are the two that aced Question 21 - scoring 26.75 points better than field average.

Congrats go out to eleanor60 and MaqEvil! They each scored 1 with the Chargers and Rams respectively.

WORST ENTRANT ANSWER

Question 4 was right in the middle of the 25 - 13th-easiest and 13th-hardest. And it had the 8th-highest average score. But it provided the largest gulf between entrant average and incorrect score:

The average score was 15.75 points, and incorrects scored 34 (incorrect SHEEP of Juju picked by 12 + 22 different correct answers).

I'm not going to list all the names, but 33 players (including me) got Q 4 wrong. We all scored 18.75 points worse than average for Question 4.

WORST ANSWER GIVEN BY AN ENTRANT RELATIVE TO FIELD AVERAGE

To break this tie, we look at the 'worst-of-the-worst' from Q 4, and our 33 entrants have been pared down to 2.

Our 'winners' of this award are GeoffRas22 and Johnsy! They both took Tyreek Hill, and share in this prestigious award.

Congrats!
