The Footballguys Players Championship (FPC) is a fantasy football game of skill that offers guaranteed cash awards to its top entrants. This contest will test a participant's ability to predict player performance both over time and on a weekly basis, as well as to value certain players and positions within the framework of our scoring system, place appropriate bids on free agents based on the relative future value to the entrant's team, and create a balanced fantasy team that will maximize scoring output over the length of the season. FPC award winners are determined based on the criteria listed in the rules below.
FPC is open to individuals who are 21 years of age or older and are legal
residents in a jurisdiction in which the contest is permitted by law. Residents

secured attorney escrow account where it will remain for the duration of the
NFL season. Funds will be deposited into the attorney escrow account by
Draft Order/Slots Announcement/League Assignments

The draft order selection of each FPC team will be overseen by an officer of JDAD, LLC. The FPC Commissioner will notify participants of their draft positions by email. Draft positions may also be posted on the FPC message board and web site. FPC does not permit trading of draft positions.
League Structure, Rules and Prizes
Footballguys Players Championship will be comprised of individual leagues, with 12 teams/participants/managers in each league.
There are three distinct parts of the FFPC Main Event season:
� Part 1 - Regular season Weeks 1-11
� Part 2 - League Playoffs Weeks 12 & 13
� Part 3 - Championship Round and Consolation Round Weeks 14-16
FPC individual league structure will be as follows. The regular season will run from NFL Week 1 through NFL Week 11 and results will be based on head-to-head matchups as well as total points scored. The two top seeded teams at the end of the regular season in each league will each be awarded an automatic berth to the Championship Round in NFL Weeks 14 through 16 and a chance at the $ 150,000 Grand Prize. The four top seeded teams at the end of the regular season will play in a head-to-head League Playoffs in NFL Weeks 12 & 13 to determine the League Champion. League Champion will also earn an automatic berth to the Championship Round, if he has not already done so. There will be a minimum of two and a maximum of three teams advancing to the Championship Round from each league.
All FPC drafts will be held online, on various dates during the months of July, August and September 2012. Drafts will be held using the RTSports live draft room software. After registering, owners will be emailed instructions on how to enter their league & draft room. Team owners may access their teams by using the �League Login� at http://leagues.myffpc.com.
All drafts will last for 20 rounds, with each team selecting one player per round. Drafts will be held in a serpentine format: Team 1 through Team 12 in Round 1, Team 12 through Team 1 in Round 2, Team 1 through Team 12 in Round 3, etc. Teams may select any player that is not already drafted by another team. There are no limits or requirements as to the number of players drafted at each position. Each team participant/manager will have one and a half minutes (90 seconds) to make a player selection in each round. If the team manager does not make a selection within the allotted 90-second time frame and does not alert the commissioner to internet or computer problems, this team will be assigned a player according to the RTSports auto-pick computer. This selection may not be changed. The RTSports software will then place this team's draft on auto-draft and the subsequent picks will be made by the RTSports auto-pick computer. The owner may unselect this feature with a simple click of the mouse and continue drafting in the normal manner with a 90-second clock.
Each FPC Draft will have a LIVE Draft Facilitators present for the entire duration of the draft. The draft facilitator will provide his emergency phone number in the draft�s chat room. Participants are strongly urged to write down this number in case they are unable to communicate in the chat. FPC Commissioners have discretion to rule on any discrepancy involving player selection. All rulings by the FPC Commissioners are final.
Trading between teams of any kind, including but not limited to, draft picks or players is strictly prohibited.
Team managers may access their teams at http://leagues.myffpc.com

Footballguys Players Championship Scoring
Each team's roster will have a maximum of 20 players. The starting lineups will consist of: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex Players (RB, WR or TE), 1 PK. 1 Team Defense/Special Team. Starting lineups may be submitted on RTSports league management page. The deadline for lineup submission for each player via web site or email is the scheduled start time of the game in which the player is participating. Lineup changes which are submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com must be sent and have a time stamp prior to the start time of the game in question. Lineup changes which are made by phone to our 1-888-898-3372 must be called in no later than 15 minutes prior to kickoff. The following must be provided for a valid email or phone transaction: League number & team name, login name and password, name of player(s) to be placed in the starting lineup, name of player(s) to be removed from the starting lineup.
The following is the scoring system used for every player in FPC. Scoring will be calculated to the hundredth of a point. Negative yardage will be counted as a negative score:
�� 0.05 point - 1 yard passing (multiply total passing yards by 0.05. Example: 275 passing yards = 13.75 fantasy points)
�� 4 points - Passing TD
�� -1 point - Interception thrown
�� 2 points - 2-point conversion
�� 0.1 point - 1 yard rushing (multiply total rushing yards by 0.1. Example 126 rushing yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
�� 6 points - Rushing TD
�� 2 points - 2-point conversion
�� 0.1 point - 1 yard receiving (multiply total receiving yards by 0.1. Example 126 receiving yards= 12.6 fantasy points)
�� 6 points - Receiving TD
�� 1 point - Reception for RB, WR, QB, K
�� 1.5 points - Reception for TEs
�� 2 points - 2-point conversion
Place Kicking
�� 1 point - Made PAT
�� 3 points - Made FG of 1 - 30 yards plus 0.1
point for every yard thereafter.
Example: a 45-yard FG would be worth 4.5 points
Team Defense/Special Teams
�� 1 point - Every sack
�� 2 points - Every team takeaway (interception or fumble recovery)***
�� 6 points - Every TD (via interception return, fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked FG return, missed FG return, blocked punt return)***
�� 5 points - Every safety
�� 12 points - Every shutout **
�� 8 points - Allowing between 1- 6 points **
�� 5 points - Allowing between 7 - 10 points **
** Any points scored against a team counts towards their defensive points allowed, whether the scoring came by an offensive, defensive or special team score.
FPC implements Action Scoring for all touchdowns. A TD scored in any way by an individual player is awarded to that player whether he is on offense, defense or special teams, whether that TD came as a result of a fumble, interception, double turnover***, lateral, special teams or any other football play. To reiterate: If a player scores a TD during a game and he is in your starting roster, you are awarded 6 points. (The exception is when a quarterback throws a passing touchdown. Those are awarded as 4 points.) Please note that this scoring is separate and unrelated from any points which Team Defense/Special Teams may also receive for this TD.
No rushing or receiving yards will be awarded for a TD scored on a fumble, interception, kickoff or punt return.
Touchdowns scored by the offensive team as a result of fake FG, fake punt, blocked FG or blocked punt do not count as Defensive/Special Teams scoring.
*** A double-turnover is when the Offense turns the ball over to the opposing Defense, which subsequently turns the ball over back to the Offense. In this case, neither the Offense's ball recovery nor any subsequent TD scoring on that particular play are scored as Defensive/Special Team scoring for that team. Defensive team fantasy points for touchdowns, fumble recoveries and interceptions are ONLY scored when the defensive unit is on the field.
Footballguys Players Championship Free Agency and Blind Bidding
The following free agent blind bidding process is the only means by which free agents may be acquired in the FPC. There are no other ways to acquire free agents like 'worst-to-first' and 'first-come-first-served' or any other waiver methods other than blind bidding as described below.
Any active NFL player which is not on a roster in the individual league is considered a free agent for that league and may be available for pick-up. Players dropped by a team are placed into the free agent player pool and will be available for pick-up (see below for exclusions).
The free agent acquisition process is made by way of "blind bidding". Each team is given 1,000 free agent "dollars" at the start of a season (not real money), which they may use to bid on free agents during a weekly blind bidding process. Bids will remain hidden from the rest of the league until after all the winning bids have been awarded. Free agent players will be awarded to the team with the highest bid for that free agent, and the winning bid amount will be deducted from that team's free agent dollars. Besides the winning bid, all other bids for that free agent are considered losing bids and are cancelled. At this point, the highest remaining bid by any team for any remaining free agent will be considered. The team with this winning bid will be awarded the free agent and all losing bids for that free agent will be cancelled. This process will continue until every remaining bid has been considered.
NEW FOR 2012: Due to the addition of weekly Thursday games to the NFL schedule, there will now be two (2) weekly blind bidding processes. The first "Primary" blind bidding process will take place on Wednesday with the second "Supplementary" process taking place on Friday.
The deadline for bid submission for both Wednesday and Friday is now 10:00 pm Eastern.
All free agent NFL players will be available for the Wednesday bidding process.
NFL players which are dropped during Wednesday's bidding process will NOT be available for pickups on Friday (48 hours later) and will ONLY become available for next week's Wednesday bidding process.
Free agent NFL players whose teams played on Thursday will NOT be available for pickups on Friday (following Thursday's game) and will ONLY become available for next week's Wednesday bidding process.
The blind bidding process will be available after the completion of Week 1 and end prior to Week 11 for all teams NOT advancing to the League Playoffs. Teams which ARE advancing to the League Playoffs will have the blind bidding process available to them in Weeks 12 and 13 and will end prior to Week 13. Only the 4 teams which make the League Playoffs in each FPC league will be allowed to continue making bids in Week 12 and Week 13. There will be no free agent pickups after the completion of the FPC regular season for teams which did not make the League Playoffs. There will be no free agent pickups for ANY team in the FPC in Weeks 14, 15 and 16.
Bids will be allowed to be entered from Tuesday at 9:00 AM EST until Wednesday 10:00 PM EST for Wednesday's bidding process. Bid will be allowed to be entered from Wednesday at 11:00 PM EST until Friday 10:00 PM EST for Friday's bidding process.
All bids will be processed and the rosters updated with the results of all successful bids after 10:00 PM EST on Wednesday & Friday, following the completion of the blind bidding process.
All team managers are strongly encouraged to place their bids as early in the week as possible.
QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs which are cut during Week 10, Week 11 and Week 12 free agent bidding processes will be REMOVED from the free agent pool and may not be re-acquired by any team for the remainder of the season. This is done to minimize the possibility of potential collusion. Kickers and Team Defenses cut during Weeks 10, Week 11 and Week 12 free agent bidding processes WILL REMAIN in the free agent pool and will be available to be re-acquired by teams as long as the free agency bidding processes remain open.
FPC Commissioners and JDAD LLC reserve the right to remove a dropped player from the free agent pool or reinstate that player back to its original team, if FPC Commissioners and JDAD LLC determine that doing so is the interest of upholding the integrity of the contest, or that the dropped player would unfairly impact the outcome of the FPC, or to correct an error. In this rare instance, all participants will be notified and an explanation will be given.
In the event that there is a tie between bids, the team which is awarded the player will be determined in order by:
- Worst total points.
- Worst won/lost record**.
- Worst previous week score.
- Loser of head-to-head match-up, if applicable.
- Virtual coin toss.
**Won/lost record is based on the standings at the time of blind bidding process, which may change from Wednesday's to Friday's bidding processes based on stat changes issued by Elias and NFL.
Bids shall be placed individually, or in groups, with conditional bids following the primary bid. The top bid is the primary bid in a bidding group. The bids underneath are conditional bids. If you lose the primary bid, the first conditional bid directly below will be considered next. If you lose the primary and the first conditional bid, then the second conditional bid will be considered, etc. The rest of your bidding groups will be processed in the same manner. A maximum of one player can be won in each bidding group. Bids within a group may have different designated drop players. It's important to remember when placing multiple free agent bids that you cannot win two players if they both have the same drop player. You may not place different bid amount on the same player. In this case, only the highest dollar bid will be considered.
Dollar amounts do not determine preference of bids - only the order in which the bids are placed determine preference. Example: conditional bid #3 can be a higher dollar amount than the primary bid.
Teams may submit as many bids as they like. There are no limitations as to the amount of players that may be acquired by any one team during the course of the weekly blind bidding processes or during the course of the year, provided teams remain within the maximum number of 20 players allowed on each roster.
Teams will no longer have the ability to acquire or bid on free agents once their initial 1,000 free agent "dollars" have been spent. All bids must be in increments of dollars, with no cents. The minimum bid amount is $1.
Bids may only be accepted on each individual FPC league pages, on the RTSports.com website. No bids will be accepted by telephone, email, message boards or any via any other form. In the event that RTSports website is not able to accept bids, team managers are instructed to go to MyFFPC.com or Footballguys.com or call the FPC customer service number at 1-888-898-3372 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for further instructions.
Footballguys Players Championship League and Playoff Structure
There are three distinct parts of the FFPC Main Event season. Teams have an opportunity to win prizes for succeeding in each of the three:
Part 1 - Regular season Weeks 1-11 Part 2 - League Playoffs Weeks 12 & 13 Part 3 - Championship Round and Consolation Round Weeks 14, 15 & 16
The 11-week regular season will run from NFL Week 1 through NFL Week 11. Over the course of the regular season, each of the 12 teams in each FPC league will play each other in a head-to-head match up, resulting in a Win, Loss or Tie. This will constitute the Win/Loss record for each team. All references to "points", "total points" or "points total" implies starting lineup points. All references to "record" refer to a team's regular season's head to head record. A Tie is considered half of a Win in the standings.
At the conclusion of Week 11, two teams from each league will be awarded an automatic berth to the Championship Round and a chance at the $125,000 Grand Prize in Weeks 14, 15 and 16.
These two teams will be:
�� Seed 1 - the team with the best regular season record
�� Seed 2 - the remaining team with the highest point total during the regular season.
These two teams will also participate in the head-to-head League Playoff explained below.
At the conclusion of Week 11, four teams in each league will advance to a two-week head-to-head League Playoff in Weeks 12 & 13 and will play for league prizes and one berth to the Championship Round.
These four teams will be:
�� Seed 1 - the team with the best regular season record
�� Seed 2 - the remaining team with the highest point total during the regular season
�� Seed 3 - the remaining team with the best regular season record
�� Seed 4 - the remaining team with the highest point total during the regular season
These teams will be assigned as Seed 1, Seed 2, Seed 3 and Seed 4.

- Total points during the regular season
- Head-to-head win/loss record

- Coin toss
The following head-to-head match-ups will take place in Week 12 of the League Playoff:

The League Champion and 2nd place finisher win League Prizes as listed in the Prize section.
The losing teams in Week 12 match-ups are eliminated from the League Playoffs but are still eligible to play in either the Championship or the Consolation Round.

- Total points during the regular season
- Head-to-head in the regular season
- Regular season win/loss record (weeks 1-11)

Each league will have a minimum of two and a maximum of three teams qualifying for the Championship Round.
Any of the four teams in the League Playoff round which do NOT make it to the Championship Round will earn berths to the Consolation Round and will compete for prize(s) listed in the Prize section.

Footballguys Players Championship Round
All aforementioned qualifying playoff teams will play in the Championship Round which will run during NFL Weeks 14, 15 and 16. The Championship Round format is based on the sum of total points scored for each week - there are NO H2H MATCHUPS!
Each playoff team will start the Championship Round with their one-game point average from the regular season (weeks 1-11) and will be seeded according to these points in the Championship Round Leaderboard. Points scored during Weeks 12 & 13 are not counted toward this one-game average. Championship Round winners will be determined based on each team's combined total points scored during Weeks 14, 15 & 16 and added to their one-game point average from the regular season. The team with the most points will be crowned the FPC Overall Champion. The teams with the next highest points will win prizes as listed in the Prize section.
Footballguys Players Championship Consolation Round
All teams that participated in the League Playoffs but did not qualify for the Championship Round will compete in the Consolation Round which will run during NFL Weeks 14, 15 and 16. In addition, any team which did not qualify for the League Playoffs but finished in the top 20% of the FPC Overall Leaderboard after Week 11 will also qualify for the Consolation Round (i.e. based on 3,000 teams, the top 600 teams are considered as the top 20%). Each team will start the Consolation Round with their one-game point average from the regular season (weeks 1-11) and will be seeded according to these points. Points scored during Weeks 12 & 13 are not counted toward this one-game average. Consolation Round winner(s) will be determined based on each team's total points scored during Weeks 14, 15 & 16 and added to their one-game point average from the regular season. The team with the most points will be the Consolation Round winner and will win prize(s) as listed in the Prize section. The team(s) with the next highest points will win prizes as listed in the Prize section.
Footballguys Players Championship 'Toilet' Bowl
Any team which did not qualify for either the Championship Round or the Consolation Round will compete in the Toilet Bowl. The Toilet Bowl will run during NFL Weeks 12 through Weeks 16. Each team will start the Toilet Bowl with a zero score. Toilet Bowl winner(s) will be determined based on each team's total points scored during Weeks 12 through Weeks 16. The team with the most points will be the Toilet Bowl winner and will win prize(s) as listed in the Prize section.
If there is a tie between multiple teams in any of the prize finalists in either, the Championship Round, Consolation Round or the Toilet Bowl teams at the conclusion of Week 16, the prize money will be combined and evenly divided between the tied teams. So as an example, if two teams tie for 1st and 2nd with the prize awards being $150,000 and $25,000, they will receive $87,500 each. If there are 3 teams tied for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, then the top 3 prizes will be divided equally among the 3 teams, etc

Footballguys Players Championship Draft/Event Information
The FPC draft schedule is available for viewing via a league link at www.footballguys.com and www.MyFFPC.com. The draft is conducted by RTSports in their 'live draft' room. Participants must check in a few days before the draft and familiarize themselves with the RTSports software. Each league's draft room will open at least 30 minutes prior to the draft start time. It is strongly recommended that each participants signs in at this time. The draft will be conducted in a serpentine method starting the first round with Team 1, proceeding through Team 12; the second round will start with Team 12 and will proceed through Team 1; the third round will begin with Team 1 and end with Team 12, etc. until all 20 rounds have been completed. This will result in a 20 player roster. There is no requirement for any team to draft a specific number of players at any specific position; however, there are lineup submission requirements. It is the participant's responsibility to draft the appropriate players in order to fill the necessary positions for the lineup submission requirements. Most drafts last approximately 2.5 hours, however, participants should allow for 3 hours or more.
Each team's roster is limited to 20 players. IT IS THE PARTICIPANT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY THAT HIS/HER TEAM ROSTER IS CORRECT BEFORE LEAVING THE DRAFT, AND AFTER IT IS UPLOADED TO THE LEAGUE MANAGEMENT PAGE. It is the participant's responsibility to report any errors to FPC or RTSports league management website within 24 hours of the roster being uploaded to the league management website.
Week 1 Lineups
The FPC suggests that each team set their Week 1 lineup as soon as lineup submission is available. However, teams will be allowed to modify their Week 1 lineup based on normal lineup submission.
All FPC teams must have a starting lineup for Week 1. If a lineup is not submitted prior to the start of Week 1 games, FPC Commissioner will submit a lineup based strictly on draft order. FPC Commissioner may submit these missing lineups retroactively, after the start or the completion of Week 1 games.
Online Draft Commissioner
Each FPC online draft will have a live draft commissioner to watch over the draft and assist as needed. The commissioner will provide his or her contact phone number at the beginning of the draft. Each participant must write the phone number and keep it nearby in case of an emergency. If a participant has an issue or gets disconnected and is unable to log back in, please call the commissioner immediately. The draft commissioner will act in the fairest way possible to insure that no one gets passed over due to computer issues. If a participant's computer is down for an extended period of time and they do not call in to the commissioner, the commissioner will be forced to continue the draft by having a surrogate take over the draft for that team or place that team on auto-pick.
Online FPC Draft Attendance
Draft attendance is mandatory. Please contact the FPC should you expect to be late for the draft. No refunds will be granted to owners who do not show up for their draft date. Participants must login to their league and sign into the online draft no later than five minutes prior to the draft start time. In the event that the participant (or co-manager) does not sign in to the online draft, a surrogate drafter may make selections for the team in question or the team may be placed on auto-pick. If a participant signs into the online draft after the draft has started, he will be able to select his next player; however, if any previous surrogate selections have been made, they would still apply. Check your connections in advance of the draft. If you cannot gain access to the draft, you will need to arrange another method to access the draft. The FPC is not responsible for connection issues and will not issue a refund.
FFC draft times may vary. All event times and schedules will be posted on the FPC website. FPC and JDAD, LLC are not responsible for any loss or liability incurred by any participants or co-managers due to rescheduling of any or all events. At its sole discretion, JDAD, LLC reserves the right to terminate any FPC leagues at any time prior to its completion due to any acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, change in applicable law, interruption in the NFL season (including strikes, lockouts and/or use of replacement players), or failure or ceasing of operations by our fantasy league data host, RTSports. In the event that JDAD, LLC terminates the FPC, all entry fees would be returned to the entrants.
The FPC season begins on
FPC uses RTSports as its league managements service to handle scheduling, blind bidding, transactions, win-loss records, etc. All statistics as utilized by this service will be our basis for scoring. Elias Sports Bureau will often have minor scoring changes during the season. FPC will automatically have the league management software make stat changes as they occur. FPC and JDAD, LLC will act as the commissioner of the overall event and will have final say over all decisions related and regarding the FPC. Entrants warrant that they are familiar with the workings of Elias Sports Bureau and RTSports, and agree not to hold JDAD, LLC liable for any errors caused by, or potential failures of Elias Sports Bureau or RTSports.
In the event of a server failure or other technical issues, the last lineup that was submitted will be the official lineup for the week. FPC RECOMMENDS THAT PARTICIPANTS MAKE ALL LINEUP CHANGES AS SOON AS LINEUP SUBMISSION IS AVAILABLE EACH WEEK. In cases of extreme emergency, line up changes may be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com with the words LINEUP CHANGE in the subject line, or called into 1-888-898-3372, as long as these changes are received prior to the weekly deadline for making such changes. The following must be provided for a valid email or phone transaction: Owners name, League number & team name, login name and password, name of player(s) to be placed in the starting lineup, name of player(s) to be removed from the starting lineup.
If you feel there is a scoring error, please email email@example.com the words STAT APPEAL in the subject line. Kindly detail the issue and we will look into it. We are using Elias Sports Bureau to automatically correct any statistical errors, so an appeal is not needed for an error which would be corrected by Elias. All scoring for the prior week will go FINAL by Eastern on the Friday following that particular week, and at that time all contestants waive their right to any further appeals. During weeks when there is an upcoming Thursday or Friday game, all scoring for the prior week will go FINAL by Eastern on the Friday following that particular week, and at that time all contestants waive their right to any further appeals. It will be the sole discretion of the FPC Commissioner to make any changes not noted by Elias Sports Bureau.
Any disputes or appeals regarding the FPC rules will be decided by the FPC Commissioner and JDAD, LLC using its interpretation of the rules. In reaching its rulings, JDAD, LLC will consider the intent and spirit of the rules, the fairness to the fantasy players and the integrity of the FPC event, as well as the feasibility of accommodating any appeal.
If you have a concern about any league rule, you must email firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject: RULES APPEAL on it. The deadline for submitting a rules dispute or appeal is by Friday, 12:00 AM Eastern, following the completion of that game or games in which the dispute has occurred. The deadline for submitting a rules dispute or appeal for any week when there is an upcoming Thursday or Friday game is by Wednesday, 12:00 PM Eastern, following the completion of that game or games in which the dispute has occurred. The deadline for submitting disputes related to the operation of any league draft is 30 minutes after the conclusion of the draft itself.
If you plan to file an appeal of any type, you must include a detailed account of the dispute and the resolution requested. FPC Commissioner and JDAD, LLC will make a final ruling that is binding and cannot be contested.
We strongly urge players to double and triple check their lineup and free agent moves as JDAD, LLC cannot be held responsible for errors in entering lineups and free agent bids. JDAD, LLC will not intervene or alter a transaction after free agent or lineup submissions are due.
Team ownership is non-transferable at any time unless permission is specifically granted by JDAD, LLC in writing, and JDAD, LLC reserves the right to deny transfer of team ownership for any reason, or no reason at all. In addition, JDAD, LLC may reject any entry or revoke ownership of any prospective entrant prior to the FPC draft, even for those participants who have paid monies to JDAD, LLC. Any rejected applications or revoked owners will receive a full refund.
With regard to personal behavior, we believe in the golden rule, and we plan, if we deem necessary to enforce it. All those participating in the FPC drafts and team management are expected to behave in a lawful, respectful and sportsmanlike manner throughout the entire FPC contest and during use of the FPC web site including, but not limited to, comments posted on the message board. Any conduct by a participant, co-manager or other person which is deemed by JDAD, LLC to intimidate, harass, offend or harm any participant, co-manager, guest, FPC representative or the representative of any FPC vendor, is strictly prohibited. JDAD, LLC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to ban any person from either current or future further participation in the FPC if such person engages in such prohibited conduct. In addition, any participant engaging in such conduct forfeits any rights to a refund, as well as any potential rights to an award. If a participant is banned from further participation in the FPC, JDAD, LLC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to designate a surrogate participant at any stage in the contest, or to freeze the banned owner's roster. JDAD, LLC shall not be responsible or held liable to any person for damage to property or personal injury or death arising from the acts or omissions of any participant, co-manager or other person. Any person engaging in an unlawful behavior at any FPC event or in connection with the FPC will be subject to legal prosecution.
Any attempt to tamper or interfere with the Footballguys Players Championship is a violation of criminal and civil laws. JDAD, LLC reserves the right to prosecute and seek damages permitted by law for any such behavior.
Any participants or co-managers who collude, or attempt to collude, in an effort to alter the standings, rankings, or fantasy point totals will be disqualified and be prohibited from winning any award money. In addition, any participant that alone attempts to sabotage the results of the league by not giving equal effort against all competitors will be disqualified and prohibited from winning an award. At the sole discretion of JDAD, LLC, in any of these above circumstances, the colluding or sabotaging owner's team may be taken over by a surrogate or agent of JDAD, LLC, or be frozen by JDAD, LLC for the remainder of the season. This rule also applies to any participant or co-manager that attempts to blackmail, bribe, coerce or otherwise influence any officers or agents of JDAD, LLC in an effort to alter the standings, rankings, or fantasy point totals. Any participant that does this will be prohibited from winning any award money and will further have his or her team taken over by a surrogate or agent of JDAD, LLC.

JDAD, LLC reserves the right to seek damages and full criminal prosecution as permitted by law.
Participants are expected field a starting lineup on a weekly basis and to manage their team to the best of their ability for the duration of the FPC season. We understand that some teams will stop actively managing their teams and may abandon them during the regular season. While there may be some RTSports software rules in place to encourage competitive weekly starting lineups, FPC Commissioners and JDAD, LLC cannot manage abandoned teams and is not able to start and bench players for those teams. The FPC will attempt to keep a record of owners who abandoned their teams and these participants may not be invited back to the FPC event for next year and beyond. If FPC believes that any team has been abandoned, FPC reserves the right at its sole discretion to either appoint a surrogate owner, or to freeze a team's roster for the remainder of the season. Entrants recognize that in many cases, it will be most feasible for FPC to opt for the freezing solution, albeit this result is sometimes imperfect. Participants assume this risk when entering the contest. FPC reserves the right to intervene in team management of any team whose participant is willingly trying to field a less competitive team or is manipulating the contest.
FPC and JDAD, LLC is not responsible for any problem or technical malfunction which impedes or interferes with the transmission or receipt of any team transaction, including but not limited to free agent moves, or starting lineup submissions.

The Queen's new "Trav'lin' Light Tour" (I guess the 'e' and 'g' would weigh her down too much) is sponsored by Jenny Fucking Craig, and she claims it's all about "educating" her fans about diabetes, which, wait for it… "we now know is preventable through the very thing Jenny Craig provides."
Direct quote from the Queen. Jenny Craig prevents diabetes, y'all. It's that simple.
I don't even know what else to say about that, except FUCK.
That, and I hope she invests the Jenny Craig money wisely, since she just lost herself a shitload of fans.

An Organizational Change PerspectiveM Burton, Richard; Lauridsen, Jørgen; Obel, Børge (Odense, 1999)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We present the concept of organizational misfit as a complement to multi-contingency theory fit concepts for organizational performance. Firms with misfits have opportunity losses that firms without misfits do not suffer. Using data from 232 small and medium sized Danish firms, we confirm the hypotheses that firms with either or both situational and contingency misfits have lower performance increases than firms without misfits. Further, a firm may not obtain increased performance from the elimination of misfits piecemeal, but will obtain significant nonlinear positive increases when misfits are fixed within a holistic or systems approach.

Tension and Resistance to Change Organizational Climate: Managerial Implications for a Fast Paced WorldM Burton, Richard; Lauridsen, Jørgen; Obel, Børge (Odense, 1999)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Climate is the atmosphere of the organization, a "relatively enduring quality of the internal environment of an organization, which is experienced by its members and influences their behavior." The organizational climate can be measured in terms of trust, morale, conflict, equity in rewards, leader credibility, resistance to change and scapegoating. Using a factor analysis, we found that the organizational climate can be described in two dimensions: "tension" and the resistance to change for a group of 245 Danish companies. High tension involves strained relationships, stress and a balance of the combined factors. High resistance to change is a preference for tomorrow to be like today. Change management has a long history and rests fundamentally upon Lewin's three phases: unfreeze, change and re-freeze. More recently, change management is seen as sensemaking and the creation of an organizational reality in which change is more usual and continuous. Using the competing values framework, four organizational climates emerge: S internal process, which is high on tension and resistance to change, S rational goal, which is high on tension and low on resistance to change, S developmental, which is low on tension and low on resistance to change, and S group, which is low on tension and high on resistance to change. The managerial implications are complex For a fast paced world, the resistance to change must be low. Lewinian episodic change is difficult, slow and costly. Continuous change can be managed, where change becomes the norm of the organization. However, tension does not have to be low. Individuals may prefer a low tension organization, but it may not be necessary for a fast paced world. Further, since the two dimensions are independent, managers cannot reduce tension as a means to reduce the resistance to change. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8129

A Showcase Of Customs And Hot Rods And Race Cars
Once again, summer capped off in sunny Southern California—Long Beach Arena, to be exact—with the second re-installment of the indoor show, originally made famous by the Renegades Car Club, The Long Beach Motorama.
Along with the expected myriad of customs new and old, including the recipient of the 2011 America's Kustom D'Elegance Award, the Don Lowe–built "Futurama" '40 Ford, this year's Motorama featured an array of distinguished hot rods, show cars, and most notably, vintage race cars. Centering off the arena's Avenue of Dreams, custom car feature were highlight attractions such as the Lions Drag Strip quarter-mile tribute, Barris Kustoms and Ed Roth's Crazy Painters dioramas, and the ever-growing Wall of Legends display. Past the exterior of the arena walls, hot rods and customs were sprawled across the acres of grass, adding an "outdoor" element to an otherwise traditional indoor show.
But as promotional show verbiage states, "You've got to be here to experience it". If you weren't, here's a little sampling of the 2011 Motorama.

I did a hand-drawn version for you because the printout I have has a tiny pattern and now I can't get the picture to show on blogger in an upright position. Hopefully, it's still understandable...
Interval Time Training measures how much time your horse spends on each of 7 portions of the barrel pattern compared to the fast run of the day.
#1-Is the time it takes to get from the starting line to where the horse starts to turn the 1st barrel. Moon took 1.534 seconds to complete this portion and ran 22.22 miles per hour. The fast horse of the day did it in 1.380 seconds and ran 24.70 mph. So the fast horse of the day beat us by .154 of a second.
This is something that I believe is still a work in progress. Moon has just lately really started to run to 1st barrel. I am still more concerned that we get the rate properly and get around the barrel in good form than I am about all out speed. Although we are almost there and we seem to be handling it better. The first barrel is considered the 'money barrel' and how well you can get around it pretty much sets you up for the rest of the run. Unless of course, you have my problem, which is remembering to drive into the 2nd turn. LOL
#2-Is the time it takes to get around the 1st barrel. Moon took 1.928 seconds to complete his 1st turn. The fast horse of the day did it in 1.864 seconds. We were beat by .064 seconds.
Not terribly concerned about that fraction of a second. I believe when Moon gets up to full speed running to the barrel, he will have the momentum to nip that off a little bit.
#3-Is the time it takes to get from 1st barrel to 2nd barrel. Moon took 2.858 seconds and ran 20.28 mph. The fast horse did it in 2.494 seconds and ran 23.24 mph. We were beat by .364 seconds.
This was a biggie. Because I did handle Moon to keep him from wanting to duck into the 2nd barrel, I'm sure I inadvertently kept him rated down. I'd almost bet this is where we are consistently losing time. Hopefully, now that I realize it, I will start asking Moon for more here. I really, really need to get over what we were doing going into the 2nd barrel and just drive him for all he's worth .
#4-Is the time it takes to get around the 2nd barrel. Moon took 1.479 seconds to get around the 2nd barrel. The fast horse took 1.633 seconds. So Moon actually beat the fast horse around the second barrel by .154 seconds.
Certainly can't complain about that.
#5-Is the time it takes to get from 2nd barrel to 3rd barrel. Moon took 3.169 seconds, at a speed of 21.52 miles per hour. The fast horse did it in 3.159 seconds at a speed of 21.58 miles per hour. We were only beat by .010 of a second.
Can't complain about that either.
#6-Is the time it takes to get around 3rd barrel. Moon took 1.464 seconds. The fast horse took 1.529. Moon beat the fast horse around the 3rd barrel by .065 of a second.
No complaints here. If all the other factors were equal, this would even out the longer fraction of a second it took us to get around 1st barrel.
#7-Is the time it takes to get from the 3rd barrel back across the finish line. Moon took 3.691 seconds, at a speed of 25.86 mph. The fast horse did it in 3.484 seconds at 27.40 mph. We were beat by .207 seconds.
Yea...about all I can say about this is, either we are simply getting outrun or due to Moon being off and on for the last month, he has lost the condition he needs to keep powering all the way to the end. This did surprise me though as I always thought that Moon made up a lot of time on his run home. The bugger can really stretch out and run. Maybe just not fast enough?
Moon spent a total time of 4.871 seconds in his turns, whereas the fast horse spent 5.026 seconds making his turns. We are better by .155 of a second. Where we really got our ass kicked was in the straightaways. Moon took 11.252 seconds to complete each of his 4 straightaways, where the fast horse took 10.517 seconds. We were beat by .735 of a second. Almost 4 10th's of that was simply between 1st and 2nd barrel. Since Moon can keep pace with the fast horse between 2nd and 3rd and is almost as fast going to 1st, this isn't because he can't be as fast, it has to be because I am still safetying up. The run home? I dunno. I hope that is a conditioning issue and that we really aren't getting outrun that badly cause there is no 'cure' for that. :-/
**The time used to compare Moon's run to was the fast time at the time we left on Sunday. I see on the results that the actual fast time on Sunday was a 15.169. Moon ran a 16.123, so was one second off of the fast time. I'm anxious to get that printout to compare. I have a feeling he just got really outrun in the straightaways.
If he had run just .046 of a second slower, he would have been exactly one second off of the fast time and won the 3D (and over $900). It takes longer to blink than the difference in times it takes to draw a check or not.
Moon got his last treatment after he had been walked out after his run. The therapist did find tension in his loin but she thought that might be due to heat in the muscle yet. A horse has to be dry to do the treatments, so I did not cold hose him after his run like I normally do to cool his muscles out. You are also not supposed to bath them within 4 hours after having a treatment. Something to do with the water washing whatever the electric pulses do out of the muscles. Moon was totally relaxed through the whole 45 minutes. Did a lot of yawning and chewing about the 25 minute mark, then pretty much went to sleep. There were no more signs of aggravation or irritability. I put him back in his stall to rest while we got packed up and ready to leave. He drank good, did not pee this time, but went back to eating. Moon really likes to eat...in case you guys didn't catch that. LOL. I'm pretty sure that while he is eating one meal, he is thinking about the next one.

"Zero Dark Thirty," Kathryn Bigelow's drama about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, was named the best film of the year Wednesday by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures.
The movie, set to open in limited release Dec. 19, took home two other top prizes, as Bigelow was deemed best director and star Jessica Chastain was given the lead actress award. It's been a good week for the movie, which this week also received the highest honors from the New York Film Critics Circle.
Best actor of the year went to Bradley Cooper for his portrayal of a man struggling with bipolar disorder in "Silver Linings Playbook." Leonardo DiCaprio won supporting actor as a plantation owner in "Django Unchained," and Ann Dowd was named best supporting actress for playing a fast-food restaurant manager in "Compliance."
The National Board of Review, founded in 1909, describes itself as a "select group of knowledgeable film enthusiasts and professionals, academics, young filmmakers and students. Group members viewed over 250 films to make this year's selections, which include "Argo," "Lincoln" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" as among the top movies of 2012.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and NBR haven't agreed on the same best film since 2008's "Slumdog Millionaire." Last year, NBR selected "Hugo" as 2011's top movie, while the academy chose "The Artist." In 2010, the Oscar went to "The King's Speech," but NBR gave its biggest honor to "The Social Network."
The NBR awards will be presented Jan. 8 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.
Other winners announced Wednesday:
Best Original Screenplay: Rian Johnson, "Looper"
Best Adapted Screenplay: David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Best Animated Feature: "Wreck-It Ralph"
Special Achievement in Filmmaking: Ben Affleck, "Argo"

It looks as though that browser ballot screen "glitch" that may result in a multi-billion-dollar fine for Microsoft isn't the only thing that EU regulators are looking into right now. Their sights have also turned to Windows RT, something the folks at Mozilla and Google (and Opera) must be happy to hear about.
As was the case on the desktop, choice is the first battleground. Microsoft had previously agreed to display the browser ballot screen to users in the EU until 2014, so if it's determined that Microsoft has to play by the same set of rules with Windows 8 and Windows RT, they may have some additional work to do. The EC is also reportedly looking into Microsoft's API restrictions. The rules laid out for Metro apps on Windows RT mean that browsers like Firefox and Chrome won't be able to offer the same kind of functionality that they can on a traditional Windows system.
Could there be implications for Apple if Microsoft is judged to be treating third-party browsers unfairly by the EC? Absolutely. And you've got to think that Google would be pleased about that, since it might give them a shot at dramatically boosting the performance of Chrome on iOS.

Besides the fact that I love the rain - I'm also glad that it rained last Saturday because staying inside gave me the incentive to get this project out of my head.
We bought this wardrobe used - and then there is blue-ish bedding...and gold curtains - and really....I'm just not a primary colors kind of girl but I don't know how it happened!
So now that it's fresh and white I'm thinking new curtains (hi mark!) and now I can feel free to figure out some wall art (suprising how much a red wardrobe stopped me from decorating...)
Do you have any suggestions??

- Magic Closer senses the open door and closes it when you're not present
- Works with most any existing automatic garage door closing systems
- No programming or syncing necessary with existing garage door opener
- Variable time delay in case you're at home and need garage access
- Installs in just 5 minutes
- No wires or cables to run
- Only needs a screwdriver
An estimated 66% of American homes surveyed said they use the garage door as the primary entrance into their home.
Magic Closer is an additional barrier of garage access protection!
The Magic Closer is specifically designed to work with your existing garage door closer system yet remain as and independent back-up closing device.
This is the industry's first Intelligent Garage Door Timer that emulates the function of your existing garage door opener/closer panel.
I have been looking at all of the garage door closing on the market and yours is the best solution. The other products just seem bloated with unnecessary features and additional power requirements. Magic Closer is exactly what I was looking for, and I think it's a great product. I won't hesitate to promote it with neighbors, friends, and family.— Van from San Antonio, TX —
I was really beginning to worry about my Grandmother's safety as she now lives alone. After high school kids went through her car and took her phone due to her garage door being left open, I bought her Magic Closer as a Christmas present. The Magic Closer's 15 minute setting and the audible beeps prior to closing the door make her feel safe knowing the door is closed. It's just one less thing for her to worry about.— Delores from Stockton, CA —
Magic Closer is a neat little gadget and easy to install. I live in a suburb North of Colorado Springs with a variety of wildlife in the area. They always seemed to invite themselves in to tear through my garbage cans when I left my garage door opened. The Magic Closer makes sure I'm not waking up to clean a mess of garbage, and even better, not meeting a critter face-to-face.— Juanita from Black Forest, CO —
I began looking for a garage door closer when I received multiple written warning notices from my HOA saying I was in violation of my covenant community regulations. I have 3 children, ages 11 to 15, and almost every night the door remained opened after their neighborhood adventures. Your product was the right solution and easy to install. Now my HOA can pick on somebody else!— Kathy from Littleton, CO —
- Guard against theft!
- Keep animals out!
- Preset Time Delays
- Visible and Audible Alerts
- Does not affect standard door closer operation or safety sensors

Which watches support these features?
The watches that measure and collect the data for these features are Suunto T6, Suunto Ambit, Suunto Ambit2, Suunto Ambit3, Suunto Traverse and Suunto Spartan collections.
The vertical metrics in trail running and mountain biking are available for products that have a barometric sensor such as Suunto Spartan Ultra, Ambit3 Peak, Ambit2 and Traverse.
Do Moves recorded with the Suunto Movescount app support these features?
No, only Moves made by the Suunto watches listed above support these features.
Can imported data from other sports services be used for progress and personal bests?
No, imported data is not used because we cannot verify the quality of the data.
What are the age groups?
The age groups in Movescount are organized in 5-year-groups between male and female. These are similar to the groups commonly used in endurance racing categories.
Why are the training hours in the Training Insights sometimes lower than I'd expect?
As many Suunto users are 'multi-sporters,' the training hours in a given sport may be less than you would assume – i.e. running a sub-3 hour marathon time might show less running as athletes train in other sports, including cycling. This is typical, for example, with triathletes who have lot of training hours in cycling, a bit in swimming and some amount in running, but are still capable of fast marathons.
Why don't I see insights for longer running distances than a marathon?
There is not enough data from ultra distance runs to meaninful analysis. This limitation applies to all of the sports and distances.
What if I pause during a Move?
The pause is included in the personal best – i.e. if you pause during your 10K for 3 minutes, those 3 minutes are included in the personal best.
Does each Move count towards personal bests?
No. The Move needs to have enough (measurement) samples in order for the fastest or best sections to be identified. For example, if the GPS reception has been poor, the Move is not included into the metrics. Sections are identified by distance (i.e. 1km, 5km, 10km, etc).
Why did my level (ranking) suddenly drop?
As there are new Moves added to Movescount all the time, your level might drop if you haven't done any Moves in that sport. For example, if today you belong in the top 10% in 1K running, you might drop down to 20% as more people achieve new personal bests.
How are triathlon and multi-sport Moves analyzed?
All multisport Moves are analyzed as one entire Move. So, if you ride your best 180km time in a full distance triathlon, it doesn't appear in as a personal best in 180km cycling.
I deleted a personal best. What happens now?
When you delete a personal best, the next best value is shown. The Move itself with the personal best data remains, but that Move is not re-analyzed.
What happens if I delete a Move?
When a Move is deleted, the personal best values from that Move also are deleted.
Why does a personal best seem incorrect?
A personal best can be incorrect if, for example, you accidently recording a bike ride using a running sport mode. However, you can correct the personal best by editing the Move and changing the activity to the correct one.

- Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar
- Cognitive functions of language and their implications for language evolution
- Time: 12:05 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin (refreshments will be served)
- Speaker: Gary Lupyan, UW Department of Psychology
- Abstract: Language is a defining trait of our species. A standard assumption shared by many in the cognitive sciences is that language simply allows for public expression of ideas that are themselves represented in a language-independent aEuro~mentaleseaEuroTM. Similarly, capacities on which humans appear to differ markedly from other animalsaEuro"relational reasoning, theory of mind, categorization, and executive functionaEuro"are often viewed as developments largely unrelated to language. In contrast, recent empirical evidence suggests that normal human cognition is actually language-augmented cognition. Exploring the role that language learning and language use exerts on human cognition leads to a better understanding of the evolutionary trajectory of language and offers a partial solution to the puzzle of how humans have come to possess intellectual capacities that could not have evolved through natural selection (aEurooeWallaceaEuroTMs problemaEuro). A computational framework for exploring the role language exerts on cognition is also discussed.

AviationAcres Newsletter

Manage Subscriptions
The key to marketing
any real estate is getting the property seen by
as many eyes of your "targeted market" as possible. If you're selling property
on a golf course, then showing the listing to
a family looking for horse property may not
help you too much. That's the problem with so
many real estate sites. It doesn't matter how
much traffic a web site gets, if it's not targeted
to the audience that's looking for the product!
At AviationAcres.com
we have a very narrow focus in the real estate
industry. We want to help BUYERS and SELLERS of
AVIATION property find and
market listings. If it doesn't have a runway,
helipad or enough water to take off and land a
floatplane on, we are not interested in knowing
about it.
you have a waterfront listing on a large body of
water that could have a floatplane land on it?
Have you ever marketed your waterfront listings
to the aviation community? Your Seller may
have had previous agents market their property,
but maybe you're the first to "think" of showing
it to the aviation community. As an owner of a
real estate company, I know this is rarely done.
Why Aviation? On average, pilots tend to
have higher incomes, and often own more than one
property or home.
What can Aviation
Acres offer you? First and most important
is the ability for you to get your major
waterfront, and aviation listings seen by
Aviators. Use
our site as a resource for properties that may
not be listed with a real estate agency (such as
a hangar on an airport) that you may have a
Buyer for. A particular aviation property may
not be in your local MLS, so
you may not know of it without looking at our site.
Since we do have FSBO properties, you'll also
know who might be trying to sell their listing,
and at some point may be looking for a real
estate professional to assist them. If a
FSBO notices
you're working with Aviation Listings, then to
them you're an expert. I was once told that if
you know 5% more than the next person, you're
the expert. Be the expert!
If you're a real
estate professional, we have one of two options
Subscription Packages you can purchase through our site.
Each has their benefit, which we will briefly
explain below.
You can sign up and
add as many aviation listings as your office has,
depending on the package you purchase, regardless of
which agent is listing them.
You can add all the office's aviation listings under one
single account. Any inquires from our site by
potential Buyers go to one specific email
address that you specify, not on a "per agent"
basis. With the listings, we display all the
fields of data that you entered as well as the
following Company Contact Information:
Company / AgencyName & Logo ( if uploaded)
AddressPhone Numbers
eMail Address – This is a good place to tell you
that we completely protect your email address
from public and web crawler view. If someone
wishes to contact you via email, they must go
through our email form that hides your email
address from them, and we will never sell your
address to anyone.

For agents who want
to be contacted directly about their listing, they can purchase the
agents package. With the "Agents Package" the
agent can add as many aviation listings as they wish
under their account. We will display all the
normal detail about the listing you enter, as
well as the following Agent

have two basic packages for the property owner
who doesn't currently have the property listed
with a real estate professional. The first
package is for the property owner who only has
one property for sale. We've given you an
easy way to market your property the the
aviation community.
second package, is designed more for the
developer who has several properties for sale,
like a new airpark community. If you have
more than just a single listing, you'll need to
purchase the "Multi-pack" option that gives you
up to 10 listings you can add to our site.
