*****TOP HONORS*****

Not only was Pat the only expert from the consensus on Austin Cook, he was also the only one to tout Brian Gay, who finished second in DK points.  It was a brutal week for the chalk, but if you trailed Pat, you probably did pretty well for yourself.

*****EXPERT GRADES*****

Grades are the result of a three step process.

First, the field is sorted by raw points achieved and assigned a grade 0-5, with 5 being best.  Roughly the top 3-4% receive 5 points, the next 13-15% receive 4 points, the next 13-15% receive 3 points, and so on.  In weeks with a cut, almost all MCs receive 0 points.

Next, we follow the same method described above, but we replace raw points with salary ($) / fantasy points (pts).

Finally, we weight the two results (2x raw points grade + value grade / 3) and assign a traditional letter grade.
