Power Rankings

After 2 games, a lot is still unclear. But, there's at least something to go by more than just salary. Below are the power rankings, sorted by 1) Team's Average Rating; 2) Record; and 3) PD. The average rating is done by averaging each rating on a per game basis, and then averaging the games. I take the base rating (for example, average=6, respectable=7) and use the secondary as a decimal (low = .25, medium= .5, high= .75). Still doesn't tell the whole story, but we're getting there...

1) Exclpze (6.854, 2-0, +14): He has the roster, and they're playing well. Good purchases and he'll be tough to beat.
2) Extra Crispy (6.479, 1-1, +16): Tough away game vs. Ozark, but played with lower ENTH.
3) Natellio (6.417, 2-0, +27): Shocked that my rating is 3rd. I'll take it! Glad I'll at least be competitive.
4) Updog Brewers (6.333, 2-0, +21): Good win away, with equal ENTH, against last year's runner-up.
5) Schrodas Shootas (6.313, 2-0, +33): The early favorite hasn't disappointed. Looks strong.
6) Broken Aarow Tornados (6.292, 0-2, -5): Could very easily be 2-0. Got caught on TIE last game at home.
7) 2 Left Feet (6.271, 1-1, -1): Ratings look good, but had a tough game @Shrodas.
8) Ozark Tigers (6.208, 1-1, +3): A little one dimensional, but will always have the best inside numbers.
9) Toronto Traptors (6.065, 0-2, -29): Two tough opening games, but the rating is ok and the enth should be building.
10) Drons Wolfs (6.063, 1-1, -2): Has played with higher ENTH both games. Staying very competitive.
11) East Gary Eagles (6.063, 1-1, -14): Had a tough away opener with lower ENTH, but is back on track.
12) Boston Constructs (5.938, 1-1, +17): Put more into last game than the Eagles and still lost by double digits. Great opening game keeps him up high in the early standings.
13) Lake Charles Creoles (5.917, 0-2, -20): Last season's runner up is struggling early.
14) Conneticut Cresleys (5.875, 2-0. +34): This is where the ratings may fail. Cresleys are killing teams early, but with low ratings. But has normaled both games.
15) Baltimore Barnburners (5.646, 0-2, -32): Look to need some help early on.
16) Steel City Cyborgs (4.792, 0-2, -60): Doesn't look like they can compete yet and will need some help.

**Just edited the ratings format to give more emphasis on the secondary ratings. Rather average (high) being 6.3 and respectable (low) being 7.1, it is now 6.75 and 7.25, respectively. The smaller difference should have a better reflection on actual performance. It did slightly change the rankings.

Very interesting system, looks as though it took some work, not to mention a bit of time, to figure it all out. Nicely done, hope to see more in the future.

Power Rankings

After 4 games, my ratings method seems to be taking a little more shape. There's only a couple teams who's ratings aren't reflecting their records, and it's pretty easy to identify them. The two early favorites have nabbed the top two spots, and people like me are beginning to fall. After four games, here we go:

1) Eclypze (6.625, 4-0, +67) Front Runner. Cruising early.
2) Schrodas Shootas (6.528, 4-0, +61) Slowly made their way up the ratings, but all we knew this was a great team.
3) Extra Crispy (6.513, 2-2, +16) The record will keep getting better, strong team.
4) Natellio (6.458, 3-1, +53) Layed an egg in Toronto. Good game, sir.
5) East Gary Eagles (6.416, 3-1, +36) Consistent.
6) Broken Aarow Tornados (6.291, 2-2, +96) Well that must have been fun. Picking on a rebuilding team...
7) Lake Charles Creoles (6.278, 0-4, -47) Still losing with high ratings. Still waiting for a rebound...
8) Updog Brewers (6.222, 4-0, +46) How does it feel to be behind a team without a win? Can't really explain this... Sorry.
9) Toronto Traptors (6.166, 2-2, -16) Beat me with a lower rating, and lower salaries. And I was never in it after the 1 quarter. Well done.
10) 2 Left Feet (6.139, 2-2, +17) Strong win. Cyborgs stuggling.
11) Conneticut Cresleys (5.806, 2-2, +10) Brought it all to no avail... Bold to CT in an away game.
12) Drons Wolfs (5.791, 2-2, -27) Normal was no help against the Eagles.
13) Ozark Tigers (5.723, 1-3, -44) Will struggle until the big guy is healthy.
14) Baltimore Barnburners (5.513, 0-4, -75) It's no fun playing Elcypze.
15) Boston Constructs (5.125, 1-3, -90) Interesting. We'll see where he shapes up after the restructuring, but he seems to be in the mood to relegate.
16) Steel City Cyborgs (4.82, 0-4, -103) Made a couple sales, so maybe help is on the way.

rough rankings.... behind a 0-4 team, and a team that I beat.... no way Lake Charles will be in relegation zone come season end... but i think you ratings system may be a bit flawed

Yea, I'm sure it's flawed a little, and especially in your case.

Lake Charles, despite his 0-4 start, is probably just about right on the rankings. So I'm chalking that one up to BB game engine issues. I'll put you in the same camp, only the exact opposite haha.

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...

Power Rankings

1. Eclpze (5-1) 10.999 - Keeps the #1 spot despite a loss...
2. Schrodas (6-0) 10.716
3. Extra Crispy (4-2) 7.505 - The best of the promotees?
4. East Gary (4-2) 7.483 - Or are you the best of the promotees?
5. Updog (5-1) 7.097 - Rating is climbing, as is your ranking.
6 Natellio (3-3) 6.158 - Well that was a fun 3 games...
7. BAT (3-3) 5.219
8. Traptors (4-2) 3.944 - Keeps winning with low ratings. Underrated I think.
9. 2 Left Feet (4-2) 3.272 - See above.
10. Lake Charles (2-4) 2.991 - Slowly moving up...
11. Drons Wolfs (3-3) -2.920 - Hasn't logged in since the 5th...
12. Cresleys (3-3) -4.717
13. Ozark Tigers (1-5) -9.464 - Ah the injury bug. Plus hasn't logged in since the 6th.
14. Barnburners (0-6) -10.851
15. Constructs (1-5) -18.406 - Rebuilding.
16. Cyborgs (0-6) -19.006

Movement:
Extra Crispy +2
East Gary -1
Natellio -2
Updog +1

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.....
