Not the best overall league but IV.15 Great 8 is one of the better IV divisions I've seen in a while. 3 legitimate title contenders on one side and all 4 playoff teams are solid. PD doesn't tell the story on who is the best teams and neither does record because when you have a tough division like this one and make a long cup run (I made one this year), you're going to take some losses and your PD is going to take a hit.

Wow, looks like an intense finals series Whichever one of your promotes please avoid promoting to my league. Thanks. In all seriousness though, great games and ratings (despite hem being higher due to OT both times) and nice job with your teams GS.

If I win tonight, we will both promote. I think he will grab the lone bot promotion spot with his record and pd.

Wow, it's so quiet around here.
Would love to see the IV (and III) ratings and auto-promote tracker return\continue, especially as I flounder in a brutal IV conference.

If those who originally put these together are gone, perhaps we can talk about what would be the best way to rank leagues.

I was thinking maybe something along the lines of:
Team Rankings 40ish%
Experience Level\Quality (years teams have been in higher\similar level leagues) 20%
Cup Performance 20%
League Competitiveness this year

Probably focusing slightly increasing weight on mid-level teams to highlight depth, as one or two 0-18 creampuffs does not an easy conference make.

But really no clue where to start (and would think I'd need some sort of db access to speed the formulations up). No need reinventing the wheel, just always excited to get some kind of more objective mark of where stand :-)

In the NBBA no teams will be turning bot
In D.II, there is only 1 bot them that is not last in their conference, the team is 7th and will probably lose the relegation series.
I have yet to check D.III
I probably will not check D.IV because I do not have that kind of time.

Thanks much Mars... were you the one who usually did the checking?

Would love to put together some sort of script to automate that, as I am sure it takes a while clicking through all the teams, unless you have a quicker way?

No I am not the one that usually does the checking. The script sounds like an interesting idea.

Why would it end? That'd be like saying that NFL power rankings never end. Well indeed, the games keep played. Or more applicably, it would be like suggesting college football polls or future odds never end. People are interested.

But really, I'm not looking for a way to say "my league is better than yours". I'm just interested in getting a better measure of where I'm at.

But more general, it's something for us owners mired in IV (and III) to talk about. Since there's 64 IV leagues, 16 III leagues, and only 5 leagues above that level, there's bound to be a lot more teams spending time, often a long time, in these lower levels. I can definitely speak for that. So, it gives us something to talk about and feel like we've got a future, perhaps. I'd think you'd understand :-D
