2016 Week 11 CKL Numbers

Not a lot changes when you're moving from one week to the next this last in the season. Hopes are already dashed for some. Cup fever dreams persist for many. That reminds me, I really need to enjoy my time with the Cup while I can.

Week 11 CKL All Play


  • Joe replaces Rookie as the co-leader with Patrick.
  • Joe's low score of 87.8 is redonk. That's higher than Chad's average. Hard to kill, indeed.
  • If Yado's league wide low score of 55.6 last's through Week 13, that would be a massive jump up for that metric in the modern era of the CKL (2011 and on).
  • Standard deviations are all rather clumped together, with Paul holding onto "Mr. Steady" and Yado possessing "Mr. Explosive."

Week 11 Hotness


  • Kendall is streaking---watch out.
  • Nathan and Chad with just a massive CKL Championship hangover. Sucks.
  • Doubt anyone in the bottom half of this table makes the playoffs. It's the wrong time of the season to be scoring so few points.

Week 11 Luck


  • With Paul's recent cooling off, his brutal luck score is more in line with a general, rather than a historic, bad luck streak.
  • With the good luck of Ryan, Rookie, and Kirk land them in the postseason?
  • Kendall ain't lucky y'all---the Stink Nightmare is simply back.

Week 11 Jenna


  • Does Russ have the stamina to keep her sated?
  • Corey is dong-handed, creepily staring in the two inch gap Russ for some unknown reason left in the door. He's ready to get tagged in.
  • Chad and I would most certainly settle for some Mayim Bialik at this point.

Week 11 Playoff History



  • Not much change here at all, just another side from Ben and Nathan.
  • Time is running out on Kirk and Yado ever getting a taste.
  • Ryan's been the most "all over the place" (see that standard deviation). Patrick the most steady.
  • High average with a low seed---that's a heat seeking missle. Low average with a high seed---that's a world of pain; and Ben is in it.

2016 Week 10 CKL Numbers

This column isn't as fun to put together when you're at the bottom of every table. Oh well. Let's go bowling.


Week 10 CKL All Play

  • Obviously could be wrong, but I don't think Patrick has ever been at the top of this table. With Rookie tied with Patrick, and Joe and Russ lurking not far behind, we have the makings of an exciting end of season race for the coveted All Play trophy.
  • Last year's Cup finalists are stinking up the bottom of the standings. Rough, eh Chad?
  • Kendall and Ryan are an interesting study: both similar total points, std dev, with their floors essentially the same while Ryan's max is a bit better than Kendall's. But Kendall is nine games better in the standings. Guess it matters WHEN you score those points.


Week 10 Hotness

  • This is the time of year to score points and earn your playoff spot. No surprise that the top four are in, while Corey is in the mix. 
  • Feels like a heavy amount of parity in this list.
  • The league average for the last three weeks is 97.9. That seems high to me. Guess it's because I haven't tasted those lofty "heights" since Week 4.
  • Kendall's 122.2 is one of the higher three week averages in recent times.


Week 10 Luck

  • This beginner's luck bs is not cool, Ryan. Not cool at all.
  • Paul getting absolutely brutalized. Gotta hope Jenna is into a good hard luck story.
  • Chad, Ben, and I are some weird sort of luck triplets. Feels creepy.


Week 10 Jenna

  • After a week off, Russ is back for more.
  • All told, SIX of us have held the SIX. Apropos, no?
  • Honestly feels like anyone below Ben is done.


Week 10 Playoff History



  • Consistency from Rookie.
  • One of the largest drops of the season for Paul. That's what happens when Russ slides back in on your woman.
  • Patrick and Russ are the only two to have been in the field every week. Only Kirk and Yado have never been in.
  • Kendall's long slog out of the doldrums is astounding, if not expected.

2016 Week 6 Numbers


Week 6 All-Play Numbers






  • New highs and lows for the league in Week 6. Ryan's 136.6 takes the cake, while Yado's 55.6...[fartsound].
  • Russ is still looking very strong, although Joe is making quite the move.
  • Paul is steady, while Ryan is volatile.



Week 6 Luck



  • All the good luck being sucked up by six of the league's 14 teams.
  • Paul...ouch, man.
  • Overall, though, everyone is closer to 0 than at this point in seasons past.


Week 6 Hotness


  • Joe paces the group.
  • No one is really that bad.
  • 14 team leagues are hard.

Week 6 Jenna Von Oÿ



  • Two weeks in a row. She must like my style.
  • Paul and Corey still lurking, biding their time.
  • Ryan making a move.

Week 6 Playoff Seed History





  • Norris at his lowest point of the season.
  • Kirk has had the least variance. Makes sense, since he's be at 14 five out of six weeks.
  • I have the most variance, climbing from double digits to a double-Jenna-dip.

2016 Week 5 Numbers


Week 5 All-Play Numbers






  • Russ, Patrick and Rookie are the class of the league right now.
  • Joe, Ben, Paul, Corey, and Nathan are in a clump in the second tier.
  • Kendall's good week removes him from the cellar, where Ryan now resides.



Week 5 Luck


  • Rookie's luck at this point in the season is the most in two years, since Joe's Voodoo Brown was up over 1.6 through week 5 of 2014.
  • Joe, Ben, Chad, and Norris...all right on the money.
  • Repeat from last week: Kirk's team is...well...not good, but he's also been pretty unlucky.


Week 5 Hotness

  • These are the averages over the last three weeks.
  • Patrick and Russ in the triple digits.
  • Kendall, Ryan, and Norris pulling up the rear.



Week 5 Jenna Von Oÿ



  • What up, girl?
  • Paul and Corey, in the corner of the bar, ready to cock block.
  • Big gap between the top three and everyone else.

Week 5 Playoff Seed History



  • Yado with the biggest move of the week.
  • Top four seeds remain unchanged, while five and six swap. Yum.
  • Yado, Pul, Kendall and Kirk remain the only four not to have ever been in the playoff field.
