First time KUBIAK user. A couple questions
I've been reading this site for awhile now, but this is my first time buying KUBIAK. It is a bit confusing at first, but I'm excited to use it for my drafts this year. I do have a couple questions about settings and how you guys utilize it.
I won't have a computer at the draft, so I will need to print out my KUBIAK projections.
-Do you guys generally print a composite of all players/positions or do you print separate lists by position?
-I don't see ADP on the printed sheet. How do you guys generally identify value picks (aside from FPOB) and when to draft them without reaching too much? Just the ESPN rank?
-I won't be able to use true dynamic value based drafting. In the past, I've kept track of the positions other people are drafting and used this as a primitive form of dVBD. Good idea?
Any other tips for maximizing the usefulness of KUBIAK (in printed form) during a live draft?
Also, my league may award bonus points for plays over 40 yards. I don't see a setting for this, but am I missing something here?
Thanks.

KUBIAK Projection System: Complicated system of statistical regressions used to project individual player statistics for fantasy football. Not an acronym; it was named after Houston head coach Gary Kubiak because he was a long time 80's backup, just like Bill Pecota, who gave his name to the player projection system over at Baseball Prospectus.
Short version: they take DVOA and all the other advanced stats, throw 'em into a big stewpot, and use it to create projections for every fantasy player in the league, put it in a spreadsheet and send it to you. You put in your leagues scoring system and it customizes the projections to your league. If you don't like the projection for a particular player, you have the ability to change it. Because it's updated, it's going to be light years better than any magazine you could buy. And because it's DVOA based, it's going to be more accurate than any of the other online projections.

This has to be a joke, right? You aren't using a typewriter, if you figure out your caps-lock key is on, you can delete it all and then rewrite it with the caps-lock key off.
