AGS Pick 5 Survival League - Week 4, Fall 2021

[Preferred Walk-On]

Well, it appears that this survival league is way too easy...at least through Week 3. Every active player had 5 out of 5 correct picks and gets to use their “Keep” pick of the week for later use. This was not completely unexpected, as there are still 9 weeks (45 picks) left in the season. I suspect this might become a bit more challenging as conference play begins.

The leaderboard (link in my signature) has been updated to reflect Week 3 results...no change from last week, but the available teams list has been updated for everybody (remember, if you had a perfect week, you get to use that pick again, even if it is crossed out on the “Available Teams” list).

Below is the link for making Week 4 picks. I hope everyone is enjoying the game so far.

OK, I have a question, I had 100% in week 1 and 3 and my "Keep" picks were North Dakota and Jacksonville State but it shows I can't use them again. Is this correct, I have only used these two picks once. Am I missing something??

Current limitation of Google Sheets (at least for my skill level) - I am trying to figure out a workaround.

Your two "Keep" teams from Week 1 and 3 are both still AVAILABLE (Blue highlight in "Week X" column supersedes Red strikethrough in "Available Teams Remaining").

Sweet, thanks and thanks for doing this, it looks like a nightmare to maintain.

OK everybody. I was tired of not being able to figure out how to work around "Keep" teams showing up as unavailable. I am happy to say that after about two hours of work this evening trying different equations in Google Sheets and revising conditional formatting for everyone's individual sheets, I have figured it out.

The link in my signature is now for the revised sheet, wherein if a team is shown as not available, it is NOT available. Furthermore, if you earned a keeper for another week, it will now show as AVAILABLE until you use it a second time.

I repeat, the list of teams available now correctly shows the available and unavailable teams. Carry on.

I thought I went the "safe" route this week but that Maine game had me scared. Luckily they got it.

There were a bunch of games going in that looked like sure picks, but didn't turn out that way. For me that included UNH @ Lafayette, Dartmouth at Valpo and JSU at home vs. No Alabama.

Was sweating out two of those games, AND Eastern Washington @ Western Illinois was a bit more interesting than I needed it to be.

Based on the Dartmouth and Yale games, it appears that the Ivy is a one-bid league...oh, wait a minute. Sorry Ivies, just couldn't help myself.
