    OKAY the LIF IS ON.

    This year, the numbers are:
    The ten scores: 86 91 91 93 100 101 102 106 113 114
    Mode: 91
    Median: 100.5
    Mean: 99.7

    So the key number is the mean (mode is 4 off, median is 1 off, mean is 0.6 off) and it's rounded up to 100.

    So the next team to score 100 wins the LIF box.

    And since I'm late to posting this, that's already happened! Congrats to @Lkoro for New Orleans' 100 on Saturday.

    Send me your info and I'll send you a box!

    I have no f'n clue what just happened. But I think the LIF that was ON is also OFF, right?

    Once numbers and means and medians and modes and addition got involved I got lost, much like this post.

    So I guess you would ship to yourself? I haven't figured out the logistics of the All-Star break payout yet. Seems like everyone here is pretty low key so I'm not expecting any issues. Plus, you all signed up for this absurdly ridiculous BIF.

    Thinking bottom 15 ship (if you have two teams and one of your teams is in the bottom half, you ship at All-Star break). Then for second half of season, the other 15 teams ship. The only downside is a team that wins the second half, if they didn't ship, they won't ship, but will only receive 14 boxes (13 if they have two teams)

    say what? lol
    So do the top 15 teams win a box? Or is it only the top team (or teams, tied for 1st place)?
    1st through 15 win, or just 1st place?
    Also, I would be down to ship to someone else at my discretion if I just so happen to place 1st and last.

    Anyways, I thought you said that people with 2 teams would only have to ship once? Could have sworn that was said earlier in the thread, and is the reason I have two teams... IDK
    You tell me when and who to ship to lol

    People with two teams only ship once.

    Only top team wins, but I need someway to split shippers, so I decided the bottom 15 are the ones that ship first. You are always free to ship a box to anyone, you just won't be required to.

    Say you get first and last (for arguments sake), I would give you the option to receive 13 boxes (or equivalent), or 15 boxes with the understanding that you will need to ship the equivalent of 2 boxes worth of beer to the second half winner.

    I'm one of those that have 2 teams. I would expect to ship twice. I have twice the chance of winning (or losing). Each team (not person) should ship a box, unless they win. Just my opinion, and I didn't look back through the thread to see what I agreed to...just seems right.

    I understand the point, but I did, as a way to fill up the league, state that each person would only ship once as an enticement to get the league filled up and to get people to take 2 teams.

    There are also only 2 winners all season, so even if shipping was randomly assigned, the odds of you shipping to the same person are pretty high (I'd say about 50/50).

    My last reply on the subject, don't mean to me a pain in the ass...

    I looked back through the posts, it seems the comment about shipping once was before allowing for 2 teams, and was clarification on dividing up the season into first half and second.

    Even posts about taking a second team seemed to indicate that we were expecting to ship 2 boxes (might be a double box to the same person). See post 88...on page 3 quoted below, you even said we can have a second team is we are willing to ship 2 boxes.
    Maybe I'm off, I just think it isn't fair to those that don't have two teams to not expect to get 15 boxes as a reward. If those of us with 2 boxes only ship one, someone loses out.

    Unless of course we are talking past each other, and by shipping once you mean filling up and sending one box, but it would be 88oz instead of 44oz. That I am way good with. As long as the winners can both expect to get 44oz x 15, I don't care how many boxes it is...
