At least you will be that much more ready for Gold... I can't imagine the beatings some of these noobies are going to take next season.

Agreed. I think an exclamation point to Bort's plan would be to have all Silver Western Conference champs to throw the championship game. That would promote every single Eastern champ and see how that turns out.

I think including scrimmages is crap. You have to go with league play.
You have to compare apples to apples. You also have to put an Astrix next to non-gold league play.
Just my two bits. When you talk baseball/hockey you don't include the minors. Who cares.

Hockey and baseball are poor examples because the teams don't change, only the players and coaches do so in that sense we are talking about apples and apples; many of the players in Gold and Silver are made up of the same people building dots.
A more appropriate comparison would be Premier League soccer as teams are relegated and promoted in a similar fashion to dotball. Then you are correct in that the Premier league garners most of the attention and success there -- just like our Gold league -- is more difficult than in a lower tier.
In any case, it didn't appear to me that the OP was suggesting this listing of ammassed wins equates to dotball greatness. There were solid PW teams before Gold (such as loldots) just as there are solid teams not yet in Gold. Not all Short Buses wins came in Gold but that doesn't mean they weren't a great team before they were in Gold so why remove a bunch of their wins or subject them to an asterick?

I agree, if only good teams should have their wins count, we have to throw out SBWL's 17 wins in season 7 and FG's 51 wins in seasons 9 and 10.

Your only as good as your last game, as far as I am concerned. I could give a rats ass what we did second game of last season or 4 other seasons ago!
I guess if we are going to have a Encyclopedia Brittanica.
Maybe we should have a Gold Player stat record.
I miss some of my old builds tbh.

A lot of scrimmage games are not to be taken as serious. A lot of good coaches use these as experiments to check stuff. I think by rating these games for the "Record" is not accurate.
Good point on the baseball/hockey point. Your right!
