Wow, up to 2. Annoyed that I did not know I could play blank last week (I guess I should pay more attention). Game shape is in shambles, I also thought that higher stamina players were supposed to be able to handle more minutes, so I tried it with two players, that was a mistake. I was looking forward to the changes being implemented.
Personally I would drop me a few spots, but I hope to be that high again in the future. Thanks again for doing this.

Thanks for doing the rankings, makes things a bit more interesting. And I had to double-check, but I'm still in the cup.

Lol. My mistake, got you confused.

Fixed

hahaha was wondering when you would see that lol

I think high stamina can (rarely) hurt weekly minutes because players with high stamina tend to play more minutes than they otherwise should. Not usually a problem though.

It is a problem for teams that train
those high stamina guys don't come out at all in SFDC
In a loss they'll pretty much play the whole game

The top 4 each look very capable of becoming the one single dominant team in this league. The top 6-9 are all quite good and several others are a simple role-player away from being scary too.

edit: eek

Well I have planned to complete these every Wednesday so here is the rankings for October 29th.

#1 The Rajan Stajans - Whether he wants to admit it or not the Rajan Stajans are the class of Naismith. Currently they are putting up tremendous defensive ratings which will keep them in every game they play.

#2 Beanz Odyssey - Hard to place this team for obvious reasons. The Odyssey are putting up very solid offensive flow ratings and still don't seem to have found their offensive strategy.

#3 Syndicalist BC - Despite their slow start I think this 2 and 2 team is posed to be a contender down the stretch. Their large payroll and ultra talented players will have them trending upwards all season.

# 4 Moth Balls - Despite their record and mediocre results, the smelly balls are good. Don't expect to see them stay at .500 for long. They have been beat by Stajan and a desperate team on more effort.

#5 Headless Thompson Gunners - HTG or HGH? The Gunners have made quick work of their opponents this season and put some significant beatings on teams. The are running with a low salary but putting up strong ratings thanks to solid management.

#6 Lawrence Park Panthers - Mr. Burns is back...maybe or so we hope. This veteran team has enough talent to compete but is likely on the decline with players starting to drop skills, they have also had major struggles with GS to start the year.

#7 Superfreakys - Still confused by this team, but now confused and scared. Coming off a road victory with less effort the "Freaks" are on the rise. The team is talented well beyond their record and their ratings are starting to improve.

#8 Green Machines - Up, down, up, down. Not sure where the Green machines should slot but they have bounced around so far. They will almost certainly be a playoff team but have not put up consistent efforts as of yet.

#9 Quebec Pugs The Pugs sit at 3 and 1 based off of a soft schedule and some extra effort. This team will be in the hunt come playoff time based off of Sparky's enthusiasm and solid management.

#10 Laval Giants I wanted to put the Giants higher than the 10th seed but there are just too many good teams ahead of them. Their 3 wins to start the season is a great start and has them right in the mix. The big question is if they can keep it up or if they can add to the roster to become a true contender.

#11 Canuckleheads Holding steady are the Canuckleheads. The manager has put together a solid team but is still a few pieces from being a playoff team.

#12 The Hounds The Hounds are in tough with the current roster. Don't put it past their experienced manager to load up to avoid relegation or even make the playoffs, they always love a dog fight.

#13 Team Dragon This dragon is spitting fur balls at the moment. They do hold a few very solid pieces but will need to add to the roster to make any major noise in Naismith.

#14 Herman Griffins Experienced manager with a big income...Is this what they call tanking? Or is someone waiting to strike at the right time.

#15 SG United SG United is racing to the bottom. Not anywhere close to enough talent to compete, this club looks to be on the way out.

#16 Pszczyna Team He'll be back. Pro of a manager focused on training for the time being.

Up a few spots are the Canuckleheads

No details.
Every week they have the same words
Soon they"ll be #1.

Dang. I forgot to edit them.

Done now.

It is that time again so please check out the Power Rankings for November 5th.

#1 The Rajan Stajans - Rich and good! Damn, that is good combo unless you have to face this formidable opponent. Still the clear cut number one seed and at this point it is not even close.

#2 Beanz Odyssey - Holding steady at the number two seed, for now. The Odyssey have a tough two road game schedule this week so are sure to be fighting to remain undefeated.

#3 Syndicalist BC - Syndicalists are starting to roll...It was a tough start to the year but things are looking up now.

#4 Headless Thompson Gunners - The highest scoring team in Naismith moves up a spot to the number four seed. This veteran team is putting up impressive ratings and has recently shared some insane financial reports. Fans expect a lot from this team and won't let them off with just being a playoff team. Get off you wallet HTG :)

#5 Quebec Pugs - Behind a stingy defence the Pugs are sitting at 4 and 2. The schedule does not get any easier so the Pugs will need to continue using their enthusiasm as a tactic to get them wins when they can.

#6 Green Machine Let the yo-yo ride continue! Green Machine up to the 6th spot in this weeks rankings. Lets see if they can put in some consistent efforts and keep heading in a positive direction.

#7 Lawrence Park Panthers - Mr. Burns is back...maybe or so we hope. This veteran team has enough talent to compete but is likely on the decline with players starting to drop skills, they have also had major struggles with GS to start the year.

# 8 Moth Balls Free falling (that's a great song). A large payroll has not lead to great results to this point. Moth Balls manager will be looking to right the ship so expect this to be a short lived drop down the rankings.

#9 Laval Giants I am starting to believe that the Giants are for real. Keep on winning and I will keep moving you up the Power Rankings.

#10 Superfreakys - One word. Inconsistent!

#11 Canuckleheads Beating up on the baby Dragons this week keeps the Canuckleheads at the 11 seed.

#12 Team Dragon Dragons added a nice looking guard this week so should be able to put up some better numbers in the coming weeks. They now have the highest payroll of the new teams so better results will be expected.

#13 The Hounds Euthanize this puppy, haha that was funny (too me). The Hounds are no threat currently but in BB things can change fast.

#14 Herman Griffins Looks like the Griffins will be a constant bottom feeder this season. I sure hope I am wrong but there is no chance that this roster finds a way into the playoff picture.

#15 Pszczyna Team Pop, pop, pop. That is the sound of a team rebuilding. Hopefully the pops are a flowing!

#16 SG United Looks like the team has flat out quit.
