I\'m new to the Yahoo pools...can someone explain to me the difference between \"O-Rank\" and \"Rank\".

Also, in a previous post someone mentioned that you can see where each player\'s average draft position has been so far for drafts done this year. Any idea where to find that info?

I believe O-Rank is yahoo\'s official player rankings, whereas \"Rank\" is their statistical ranking according to the stat categories chosen.

As for the average draft position thing...I don\'t have a clue.

\"Rank\" is where they finished last season in terms of their rank according to Yahoo based on a formula not controlled by your league settings.

\"O-rank\" not sure about the \"O\" but I believe it stands for \"overall\" showing where the player is currently ranked for this season by yahoo against all the players in their database for this year. The \"O\" might simply be extracted from the programmers favorite character \"Mr. POtato Head\" O-rank as I remember will only change a couple of times a year based on performance - think they just do a computer run to update the O-rank when the spirit moves them - it definitely doesn\'t change regularly.

Go to the Draft Central button in the top menu of your league page - click on it and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the average draft position results for players - the header for this is called \"Draft Analysis\".
