I'll take my first jump at 6'8" and would cast my vote for some combination of 2 and 3. Watchers would have some kind of insight as to your energy level, but you'd have a much better idea internally.

I'd prefer #3 but I'm fine with whatever you pick. McGillicuddy will take his first jump at 6'8"

Event 4 - High Jump
This event can be rather long due to the number of decisions that need to be made. If anyone is available and would like to PM me, we can run through the entire event for you in this manner and speed up the process... The official results for everyone to see will be posted once the event has started and the heights you attempted are reached...You however will already know your height in the event - I only ask that you not announce it in the dynasty...

I don't mind any of the options, fine with whatever.
Rambis will start with 6'6- should we just PM a full jump strategy? EDIT: nevermind, I'll try to get be on to get PM's in tomorrow. Last edited by Simbo Klice : 03-01-2012 at 04:06 PM. |

And it seemed as though his second and third chances gave him a chance to improve on the first throw he was ultimately left with... --- For the high jump, Bafou will take one jump at 6'5" (pass or fail), and rue the fact that he has no technique. And if this question hasn't fully been answered, hints are fun. |

re: fatigue. I would like to know everything. Just do it in thread to make it easy. I haven't really been reading other's stuff that much and I assume most aren't either and even if they did it wouldn't affect things much at all. Probably easiest just to do it all in one post. a list of each player and their max jumps before tiredness + time effect.

incidently I don't see hints working for me at all as I'd just ask a ton of questions about them anyway and drive you crazy. I'd rather know exact things so I can make an informed decision. (and then the dice can screw me...

so if we pass during the high jump for a higher bar level, does our fatigue go away?

an icon appears in your open programs tray and you can right click on that and choose "friends" to use its chat program once we're friends you will probably be able to see that i'm friends with most of these other people too and friend them. |

in the upper right corner on steam. There is a search field with a magnifying glass. If you search for "Front Office Football" you can find and join the FOFC Trout group. I will definitely be able to find you then.

Event 4 - High Jump
All athletes elect to pass all the lower heights (6' - 6'4"). It is until 6'5" is reached before anyone elects to attempt a jump...and the first to step up is interestingly the former basketball player Bafou...you'd think a basketball player would be able to jump... --------------------------- 6' 5" Bafou's first attempt is easily successful - and it becomes obvious - Bafou can jump ok, but his form is awful... --------------------------- 6' 6" Bafou - elects to pass this height... McCloud elects to jump - and he clears his opening height Rambis elects to jump - and he clears his opening height --------------------------- 6' 7" McCloud - passes at this height Rambis - passes at this height as well Bafou - takes his second jump and clears it Ashkayev - takes his first jump and he clears it Gonzalez - easily clears on his first jump --------------------------- 6' 8" Bafou - again elects to pass Ashkayev - elects to pass McCloud takes his second jump and he is successful Llyw - his first attempt is successful and he is on the board McGillicuddy - makes his attempt on the first try, barely scraping over the bar. the footwork was slightly off Gunderson - makes his first attempt Gonzalez - clears on his first attempt -------------------------- |

Event 4 - High Jump
So here is where we stand... Code:
--------------------------- 6' 9" Babson - elect to take his first jump here and he sails over the bar, wouldn't been good at 7' plus... Ginsberg - also elects to take his first jump and he also clears it...not by as much, but it still counts McCloud - his 3 jump of the event is also good and he's 3 for 3 so far Rambis - he also clears on his 3rd jump Justice - take his first attempt and he crowds the bar to much, hitting it on the way up - and we have our first miss of the competition Bafou - goes for his 3rd time and he clears the bar, but his sloppy form nearly causes his heal to kick it off...the bar bounces but stays up... McGillicuddy - second jump is cleared... Ashkayev - good at 6' 9" Gunderson - also good at this height Gonzalez - clears the height Llyw - passes this height... [i]So far this has been uneventful...suprised we haven't had more misses to this point[/bi --------------------------- 6' 9" - Part 2 Justice - here we go again...another miss and now Justice faces elimination...he must clear with his next jump or he'll end up withdrawing from the competition... --------------------------- 6' 9" - Part 3 Justice - comes up with the goods when he needs them...he now has a score on the board... --------------------------- 6' 10" Babson - goes again and clears, but as he leaves the pit he's rubbing his legs, like he's trying to get the soreness out...probably just fatigue starting to set in... Ginsberg - misses - his heal clips the bar... McCloud - his 4th jump is a bit sloppy and he fails to clear Rambis - having just watched his competitors miss may have psyched him out, because Rambis' attempt wasn't a very good one Justice - this is getting almost laughable for Justice. He fails to clear the height and once again is faced with a pressure situation...1 more attempt to record a score or withdraw from the competition... Bafou - can't clear the height McGillicuddy - clears it easily Ashkayev - good jump Gunderson - fails to clear Gonzalez - sails over the bar --------------------------- 6' 10" - Part 2 Ginsberg - with his second attempt at this height he has cleared... McCloud - misses for a second time at this height...1 more miss and his event is over Rambis - also fails to clear for the second time at this height - down to one jump Justice - are you kidding me...1 more miss and he'll be finished in this event...let's see if he can come up with the big jump when he needs it again... Bafou - manages to sneak over the bar Gunderson - elects to pass on the height rather than take a second jump... --------------------------- 6' 10" - Part 3 McCloud - feeling the effects of the day, knowing his chances of clearing the height are low and needing to conserve energy, McCloud elects to stand pat... Rambis - sneaks over the bar Justice - and just like previously...the big Brit comes up big in the big moment, easily clearing the bar... McCloud finishes with a height of 6' 9" Last edited by Breeze : 03-05-2012 at 12:46 PM. |

Event 4 - High Jump
--------------------------- 6' 11" Babson - gives 6' 11" a shot but the effort looks weak...as he exits the pit he seems to be saying something to the official...and I believe he may be wrapping up the event to save energy...we'll see... Ginsberg - clears 6' 11" first try... Nielsen - the event favorite, and the last contestant to jump takes his first attempt and clears it easily..that might have cleared 7' 5"... Llyw - misses badly on the first try...hits the bar on the way up... Rambis - shakes off the two misses at the previous height to clear this one... Justice - like Rambis, he shakes off his misses and also clears on the first try... Bafou - elbow clips the bar... McGillicuddy - he goes 4 for 4 clearing the bar on his first try... Ashkayev - also good at 6' 11" Gunderson - after electing to skip his second try at 6' 10", Gunderson clears 6' 11" on the first attempt... Gonzalez - just nicks the bar, but it is enough to make it fall --------------------------- 6' 11" - Part 2 Babson does wave off his second turn and it appears he's done in this event... Llyw - misses on his second go... Bafou - steps are off and he ends up walking under the bar, knowing there was no way he was going to clear when he missed his take off point by as much as he did... Gonzalez - cleans up his jump and clears the height --------------------------- 6' 11" - Part 3 Llyw - still can't clear and is now finished with this event... Bafou - isn't able to clear and in fact, probably wouldn't have been good from 4" shorter... ------------------------------- Llyw finishes the event with a height of 6' 10" Bafou finishes the event with a height of 6' 10" Babson does elect to sit out the rest of the competition as he's already headed into the training room...so he also records a score of 6' 10" Last edited by Breeze : 03-05-2012 at 01:06 PM. |

Danes of course, being the supreme beings, can jump higher than you mere mortals. It's hardly a fair contest.

Rambis Jr. outjumps everyone in front of him on the leaderboard, but I get the feeling Nielsen and a couple others are going to overtake the American. Still, for not being one of his specialties it'll be good to finish mid-table.

Event 4 - High Jump
--------------------------- 7' Ginsberg - elects to conserve his energy and he'll wait to attempt his next jump, wanting to give a try closer to his personal best...PASS Nielsen - Passes saying this height is for amateurs... Rambis - elects to pass and it appears he may have wrapped up his event as well... Justice - having attempted 7 jumps already, and stressful ones at that, he has decided to sit tight... McGillicuddy - can't clear on his first try... Ashkayev - just clips the bar with his hip going by... Gunderson - crowds the bar and hit is on the way up Gonzalez - can't get over --------------------------- 7' - Part 2 McGillicuddy - similar looking effort to the last attempt Ashkayev - unlike the last try, this one had no shot of being cleared... Gunderson - better location for the take off, but his calf clips the bar before he can kick his feet up and he misses... Gonzalez - misses again, and it looks like he's going to walk away from the 3rd attempt as he appears to be headed to the lockerroom --------------------------- 6' 11" - Part 3 McGillicuddy - same mistake the 3rd time and he is finished in the high jump Ashkayev - again close, but again, the bar is hit...it bounced a couple of times before falling but regardless he doesn't clear... Gunderson - fails to clear the height and is finished with this event... Gonzalez - did stay in the lockerroom so he has settled for 6' 11" --------------------------- Rambis - finishes with a height of 6' 11" Justice - finishes with a height of 6' 11" McGillicuddy - finishes with a height of 6' 11" Ashkayev - finishes with a height of 6' 11" Gunderson - finishes with a height of 6' 11" Gonzalez - finishes with a height of 6' 11" I was a bit surprised here that someone didn't catch a flier and clear 7' Last edited by Breeze : 03-05-2012 at 01:59 PM.

Event 4 - High Jump
--------------------------- 7' 1" Ginsberg - PASSES Nielsen - appears to almost fly as he soars over the bar... --------------------------- 7' 2" Ginsberg - approaching a height that is close to if not equal to his personal bet Ginsberg give it a try...and he fails on the first attempt... Nielsen - passes...with a smirk on his face... --------------------------- 7' 2" - Part 2 Ginsberg - still can't clear and this one wasn't even close... --------------------------- 7' 2" - Part 3 Ginsberg - better effort this time as most of his body clears the bar..but he still clips it and is unable to get the 7' 2" score... --------------------------- Ginsberg finishes with a height of 6' 11" |

Event 4 - High Jump
--------------------------- 7' 3" With everyone else out of the competition and with no one else clearing 7'...Nielsen is looking to pad his points at this stage.... Nielsen - first attempt is his first poor jump...he hits the bar squarely with his shoulders... --------------------------- 7' 3" - Part 2 Nielsen - his second attempt is a thing of beauty...he launches himself and clears the jump by 3" easy... --------------------------- |

Did I seriously get the 7'0" result on that miss or was it a sub 7 foot result.

Event 4 - High Jump
--------------------------- 7' 4" Nielsen - passes --------------------------- 7' 5" Nielsen - footwork is slightly off and he is too far to the side on the jump...causing him to hit the bar on the way up... --------------------------- 7' 5" - Part 2 Nielsen - 2nd try is better but he isn't close to jump attempt he displayed at 7' 3" and he hits the bar squarely with his hip... --------------------------- |

I'm betting I was a "D" card on this one, so a tie for 2nd is a really good result!
