/sigh lol
Get off the math horse figured you would have something new for me this time!! bribe me like Rwanda did or something.
Least the Sharks are throwing me something. I get the left over body parts they dont devour. Not sure what I am going to do with them but there are some half eaten women amongst it all.

It's all statistics. This thing can't take into account who beat whom, but only the record of their opponents and how badly they beat the weaker teams. It probably doesn't even take into account how much a team improves over the season. The Pirates are barely above .500 and ranked 10th below three teams they've beaten. I don't care.
You want something to discuss, make a power ranking and add color commentary to it.
Hell, make an unbiased power ranking based solely on opinion. Then you'll see some real bitching.

In all fairness to this even GBL has you ranked 9th. The only team difference is the Monkeez who admitidly are advatage do to the raiders. I capped scores against the raiders to minimalize the impact those games were having on the rankings.
If people want to give me suggestions on another part to add to the formula by all means send me suggestions and I will discuss it with you via PM's. You have a viable grievance with it then by all means let it out.
Top 10 there are only 2 difference from my current APL Power Rankings and GBL official rankings. Angola and Maneaters switched around. Monkeez 10th on GBL 8th on my rankings.
I would argue that coming up with a formula on the fly I did pretty good. I made adjustments where I saw gross advantages due to things. I adjusted weights of various things and added a new aspect via popular demand.
Do I think your better then 10th?? more then likely but the numbers dont add up. And I would rather use cold hard numbers that I can prove why something is rather then have it based on a bias ridden judgment. Human error is the single thing I want to rid. Human anything. Fair equals least amount of human input. The only human input here aside from the creation of the forumla.... is what is done in the games. i input numbers. That is all I have done for 4 straight games aside from limit the Raider scores. There has been no adjustment to the forumla in those 4 games. If someone wants me to take a look at chainging something?? Cool. i am all for it. suggest away. i want it to be as fair and as accurate as i can possible=y make it. and have it be something that APL likes as a whole and for the majority agrees with the results. Though at times you may not like how things rank.

I also said, "I don't care." I don't care where the Pirates sit on your power ranking. I only care if they're sitting in the top eight in the real standings at the end of the season.

Don't worry about us, we'll make the play offs and we'll do some damage!!

Only a few 1 slot changes. Scorpions though jumped up 2 slots and have now gone positive on their ranking score.
Pirates grats on getting the GLB rank #8 and moving up a spot here as well.

Hey Nic...Moga scored 68 on Gut Coast before the gutting began..I think you should bump the cap up to 68 to make it more fair for us...

Gut Coast - that's a good name for them. Although don't let scores like 157-0 fool you. That team is dangerous. We played on relaxed and rotated our players well and we still wound up with a bunch of guys with 60 energy at the end of the game.
