We don't like 'flavour' on offense here at the Droids orginization. It's only that annoying other half of the game that distracts you from the joys of defense, which has only one flavour-pain.

P.S. There's no secret to stopping LI, just play better D. (55957510)

My buddy from III.6 has a power rankings formula that uses record, point differential, and average team ratings to spit out a ranking of each team. I borrowed it from him and plugged our numbers into the excel file. Anything to distract me from homework right?

POWER RANKINGS
1) Visionaries 28.437

2) ATL Hawks 21.153
3) Rdkin 21.128
4) Eugene Register Guard 18.470
5) The King and I 18.362

6) Flash Mashers 14.845
7) Kentucky Wildcats 13.087

8) Ron Swanson All-Stars 7.895
9) Window Lickers 6.162
10) Valhalla! 4.095
11) Footpath Leapers 2.612
12) black wall street 0.370

13) Thunder Gods -3.045
14) Bad Blue Boys -6.805
15) Tucumcari Whalers -7.238

16) Jr. Jazz All-Stars -17.147

I tried to kind of divide them up into groups, but I think it's interesting how dominant the Great 8 is in these... makes me nervous for inter-conference play. Anywho, these will get more accurate as the season goes on, but view them how you will!

I found it fairly accurate when I was in Natellio's league, but like I said, it gets better the more games that have been played. Right now teams that won by a large amount have a large advantage over those that didn't. Eventually that will level out as average point differentials get closer to each other.

Anyone care to explain why the Tucumcari Whalers are collecting 18 year olds like they're going out of style?

Just trying to make ends meet ... whaling in Tucumcari isn't very lucrative, and the basketball end of things isn't going much better.

I just noticed that there's a team called the Kentucky Wyldcats (28642) in D3.

If you both ever end up in the same league, it would be a little reminiscent of the Canadian Football League. Where they had one team named the "Roughriders" & another named the "Rough Riders"! (and there were only like 8 teams too...)

Hmm I haven't been to Canada in many years, but perhaps Rough Riding occupies 25% of their daily life?

Always gon be imitators, but I'm the original BB "Kentucky Wildcats" lol. I don't see his team being in the NBBA anytime soon so unfortunately we may never be in the same league :(.
