This has been a big week for me. Two of the things I really enjoy doing are back up and running for public consumption.

First is the 2nd 2p2 NBA Auction which you can read about here and watch in real time here. Basically I created a blind auction platform where people can spend up to $1,500 to fill out an NBA roster of 10 players. The players are released 15 per day with a mostly random selection (all the top 100 players are guaranteed to go in the first week). Last time was a ton of fun with plenty of people overbidding early or snatching great values late. I bet no one learns though, and history repeats itself.

The second is the return of the MLS Elo Ratings! I talked about the difference in the new way I do the ratings a few months ago if you’re interested, otherwise just go check ‘em out. They’re certainly not perfect this early in the season, but I like the way they’re trending a lot more than I did the old method.
