Rankings Update 8/17: My Final Breakdown

by Ethan Haskell (Ethan) Last Updated 2013-08-19 03:19:24

Once upon a time, in December 2011, I began writing for RotoGrinders. One article a week that should have taken me half an hour tops. All of the rankings change calculations were supposed to be done in excel but I lied just a little and may have implied I knew more about it than I actually did. So for the first 3 months of writing this, I manually typed in every player’s ranking for both the current week and the week prior.

So instead of that 30 minute window it took me about 2 hours to post this each. Why am I telling you that incredibly boring story? Because this is my rankings article swan song. Almost 2 full years and just under 60 rankings articles later, I finally get to pass the torch along to someone else.

With that in mind, we have some special additions to the rankings article today. But first let’s flash back to where it all began.

Fun Facts

Weekly Grinder Rankings Update: 12/13/11

• Condia was #1. Dude’s just an absolute beast.
• Besides Condia, the only other player that remains in the top-10 is my man PrimeTime420
• The Rankings formula has changed twice since that article
• #2 Overall Currently, Mbomb44, joined the leaderboard for the first time ever.
• Since that first article, there have been 55 Rankings Articles posted. Today will be number 56.
• The #56 ranked player overall today is one of the three guys who hired me, RotoGrinders’ own Cal Spears.

Alright well that’s my reminiscing for the day. Best of luck to whoever takes this bad boy over for me and I really hope I don’t have to come back and write this again next week, or I’m gonna look like an absolute idiot.
