❄️ WEEKS 15 · 16 · 17 · THE ONLY WEEKS THAT DECIDE ANYTHING
The December Board.
Every guide ranks players for September. Titles are won in the cold. This grades every ranked player on the December he actually drafts into — the buildings he visits in the fantasy playoffs, scored on temperature, wind and real scoring history from every December game in the house Book.

🧊 WHAT THESE TWO NUMBERS MEANREAD THIS FIRST
GRADE 0–100How kind his December is. 50 is a neutral December. It climbs when the buildings he visits in weeks 15–17 have historically scored above their own normal, and falls for the share of Decembers those buildings have spent below freezing or blowing 15+ mph. Indoors gets a bonus — 70° and no wind in December is a real edge.
RANK DEC #Where he sits on December alone. This board is stacked entirely on these three weeks — the number beside his photo is his December rank, and the tag under his name is his rank inside his own position. It has nothing to do with how he is ranked in the Draft Guide; a man can be a first-rounder here and a fourth-rounder in December, and that gap is exactly the thing worth knowing. The draft board itself — all 335, in order — is in the Guide.

How the grade is built
Each stop starts at 50 and moves on that building's own December scoring history against its all-year baseline, then takes a penalty for the share of Decembers it has spent below freezing and the share that have blown 15+ mph — wind is the passing game's killer. Domes get a bonus. Home gets a small bump, a Thursday kickoff inside the window a small cut. The three stops are averaged. Nothing is projected: every input is counted from finished games with the weather attached, and each building's sample size is printed on the stop itself.
