But winning 2 world series since the team was created in 1993, I would say that's better than not winning 2 world series in the same time period.

Is the point of WL to be competitive or to Win?

If your are happy with doing well and not winning anything I guess Indy and SoCal have a case, but if your goal is Gold then Asau is clearly above both of them.


I would rather do well for a long period of time against more consistent teams in much tougher sims, than win one in an easy passing sim.

Braves won 1739 games from 93(Marlins' first season) to 2011 with 1 title and 13 playoff appearances and 3 World Series appearances.

Marlins won 1435 games over the same time frame with 2 titles in 2 playoff appearances and 2 WS appearances.

Interesting debate over who was more successful. Is sustained very-good-ness as good as catching lightning in a bottle twice?

APL top 10

1. carthage
2. nairobi
3. canton
4. lake opeta
5. windhoek

and that's really about it


Dakar>WWR and most likely LOL, unless you're lumping Canton/Dakar/South Bend Together since we're pretty much the same team just coming back around and we change names because we get bored easily. Then, we're definitely higher than Nairobi and likely higher than Carthage, but your WL LC is hard to argue with.

So being World League mediocre with what was one of the largest networks in GLB ever, is the pinnacle. Check.

JD also makes a point about WL being easier then before. I agree that it is but come playoffs it's still the same. Everyone puts on their big boy pants for a couple of weeks and goes to work.

Kersey was 6th behind EEA tbh.

TBH, I would say Indy and SoCal over Asau, even with the win, because of their staying power and being high level teams for so long.

Arguably, last seasons sim was one of the easiest ever to pass in. Catch Fake is op'd. Granted there were a few easy pass sims back in the day, but Indy and SoCal both played in much tougher sims for much longer.

I just think they were great franchises for a much longer period of time.

And honestly, you take Indys best team and SoCals best team and put them up against last seasons Asau, i wouldn't bet on Asau.


socal would be demoting this season
