Very nice work! and woohoo GREAT 8, showing em what's up. Same to East!

And I'd love to see the actual formulas :)

Here ya go:

DANR1 = Average Nat’l Rank for Conference #1’s in Division
LANR1 = Average Nat’l Rank for Conference #1’s in League
DAW1 = Average Wins for Conference #1’s in Division
LAW1 = Average Wins for Conference #1’s in League
DAPD1 = Average Point Differential for Conference #1’s in Division
LAPD1 = Average Point Differential for Conference #1’s in League

LWANR = League Weighted Average NR(8*LANR1+4*LANR2+2*LANR3+1*LANR4+2*LANR6+1*LANR7)/18
LWAW = League Weighted Average Wins(8*LAW1+4*LAW2+2*LAW3+1*LAW4+2*LAW6+1*LAW7)/18
LWAPD = League Weighted Average Point Differential(8*LAPD1+4*LAPD2+2*LAPD3+1*LAPD4+2*LAPD6+1*LAPD7)/18

DWANR = Division Weighted Average NR(8*DANR1+4*DANR2+2*DANR3+1*DANR4+2*DANR6+1*DANR7)/18
DWAW = Division Weighted Average Wins(8*DAW1+4*DAW2+2*DAW3+1*DAW4+2*DAW6+1*DAW7)/18
DWAPD = Division Weighted Average Point Differential(8*DAPD1+4*DAPD2+2*DAPD3+1*DAPD4+2*DAPD6+1*DAPD7)/18

The weighting of the averages reflects these assumptions about chances of getting to the Finals: #1 seed 8/15, #2 seed 4/15, #3 seed 2/15, #4 seed 1/15. And it judges that winning relegation is about as important (in terms of how tough a league is) as making it to the Semis.

LWANR/DWANR = NR Rating
LWAW/DWAW = Win Rating
LWAPD/DWAPD = PD Rating

Each of these ratings is close to 1 and reflects a league’s toughness in one area as compared to the division’s toughness in that area.

50*(1-NR Rating) + 25*Win Rating + 25*PD Rating = Rhyminsimon’s Toughness Rating

And the weighting of the ratings assumes that the number and strength of wins in the meaningful slots (PO and REL) are each half as important as national rank in determining the toughness of a league. Using coefficients that make average = 100 provided an intuitive way of understanding the rating. It's reads like IQ.

atleast u have cometahalley but nobody in my league talks

Haha so I'm the 63rd best IV. league team? That's so sad I thought I'd at least be in top 40..

Hope you go to IV.18. You'd get killed. Haha. It's very active

IV.41 is still representing, and whoever gets out of there will probably continue the trend of doing just fine in III.

whoo IV.32 #3! damn why am I in there...

I want to be in IV.32, but it's hard, man it's active (yay!) but hard (no!) for that I'll just go to a un-sociable league then hopefully go to a active D3 league it'll be worth it (yay! I get to experience D3! and I tank) then I fall down to IV that's active but I know it's hard so I keep my roster and win it lol

Also kinda wondering where you got all of your info from? I hope for your sake it wasn't manually checking all leagues, that'd be painful.

A buddy sent me this thread. I commend the effort.

I wanted to point out a few things concerning my league the IV.49. Our "#1" overall is listed as Gibrona CB. I give props to him for earning the overall best record (though not PD). The 2 wins he has over the other two strongest teams in our league came with a higher effort on his part. Both of my losses to him came via TIE vs. his normal. So I guess my moral victories aren't counted in these "rankings". :(

His CR is fairly low too which is why I gather our league is ranked well below that of leagues I know are very much weaker than ours. Gibrona hasn't defeated any teams higher than D.IV. My team has, but only by playing in private leagues. Both our teams promoted into D4 the same season. His first language is Portuguese and I know for a fact he's into BBW vids as a pre-game ritual. Those two things alone make ATL Pacers our "true" overall #1. Just saying.

I wanted to bring these things to light not just because Gibrona never reads the English forums and can't defend himself but also because overall best records and PD don't show nearly the whole story. Our league has had 6 teams bot out in the last 2 seasons and 1 continually tanking for a season and a half. 2 of our managers are focused on training NT /U21 players (US and non-US).

I chose to prioritize arena the last few seasons after seeing the last 3 champions of our league come falling right back into D4. 2 of them are actually ranked #6 & #24 of these D.IV team rankings. I'm not sure how many more of the teams on this list fit that billing.

I imagine the next logical step is to rank D.V's which I'll cast my vote now for the overall #1 and that's the legendary V.65 and you know it's FOE LIFE! Rock on, Trampires.... :P
