Well. Based on the fact that everyone hates my rankings system, I've adjusted it. Ha!

It weights the average rating, the teams record, and average point differential. I think you'll all like it. It makes a little more sense.

Coming Monday...

As promised, here is the new version of my power rankings. If you want the actual formula, let me know. Otherwise suffice it to say that it weights the team's average rating versus the average league rating, the team's record versus a baseline of a .500 record, and the team's point differential versus a zero point differential.

I think you'll notice it reflecting a better representation on the best teams, while still probably not being perfect.

1. Eclypze (11.897)
2. Schrodas (10.585)
3. East Gary Eagles (8.098)
4. Natellio (7.523)
5. Extra Crispy (6.968)
6. Updog Brewers (5.548)
7. Broken Arrow (4.845)
8. Toronto Traptors (2.462)
9. 2 Left Feet (2.410)
10. Lake Charles (1.003)
11. Drons Wolfs (-1.520)
12. Conn. Cresleys (-3.418)
13. Ozark (-7.855)
14. Balt. Barnburners (-10.543)
15. Constructs (-18.655)
16. Cyborgs (-19.425)

Got some changes today. Good win for Extra Crispy. Probably didn't need to normal, but I shouldn't have started my trainees against you. Well done. Big win for Updog over Eclypze! Good normal there.

In terms of the power rankings, two teams are seperating themselves from the pack...

Good luck in the cup everyone!

I honestly didn't mean to play on higher energy against Eclpze..... I guess I can't complain too much with the win. I was going to rest my starters in the cup game but now I might have to play them a bit to make up for the lower intensity.....

More changes over the holiday weekend. Eclypze and Extra Crispy took some big hits in their ratings this week, as it appears they may have both rested their starters. Extra Crispy taking the brunt of that hit since they lost as well.

I've added a trend to end of each team. All it shows is whether their overall rating went up or down.

lake charles's bad luck continues.... they did finish #1 in our division last year.... i still say they will make a late push for a top 4 spot

Power Rankings updated now after the first two games of Interleague Play. Eclypze falls because of the CT from the Cresleys. It's also becoming evident that lots of teams are resting starters in some of these games as Cup matchups get harder.

One question for you guys regarding the cup..... is it always 50k for a win? Or does this payment increase the farther you go? I guess I have never got far enough if it does increase.....

Yea I've never gotten past 50K either. But it does go up.

round of 64 = $60K
round of 32 = $70K
round of 16 = $80K
Quarters = $100K
Semis = $135
Final = $300K

Honestly, I think the rounds of 64, 32 and 16 should be more than that. To make it 9 rounds or whatever it is only get a 10K increase is silly. Maybe less than 50K at the beginning when it's all bots... Whatever though.

yeah... hardly seems worth it considering how hard it is to get that far. I've got to the 512 round a couple times. Might go farther this year. Getting pretty easy draws so far....
