How does a team with a ladder rank of 10 get mixed up with a league full of +100 ranking teams?

Here are the current ladder rankings for the league:

Osprey League
130,120,133,165,119,112,156,10,115,102,173,173

Hey, we don't feel very welcome now!


I think it was random?

Yeah, ladder rank has nothing to do with how the leagues get smushed together. Entirely random. Most leagues will have a wide range of ladder ranks, it's just the ones that were added midseason last time didn't have as much time to catch up.

Sophomore is Sophomore - think of it as a chance to improve your ratings by beating us.
Lot of SPs at the end of the season so there's a lot of chance for change in teams, too.

Ooooh Osprey is mid-season? Then your rankings are just fine.
Something "unusual" happened with the midseason team ratings.

That's not entirely true. Midseason teams had a lower rating when they were added then teams that were running .500 and very close to the initial rating still. Something different was done to their rating, or you're doing something non-elo all around.

Might be the reason why we can't get them to give us the ELO number on the rating page!

Yeah they probably just started at the base rating, because I don't recall doing anything fancy to figure out the middle rating or anything. Was more worried about just getting them created and available to fill demand. In general the plan is to try and not add mid-season leagues because of stuff like that...kinda special circumstances.

At least you didn't get put in a division with digitaldaggers.. Damnit Portland, I enjoyed the easy gold this year.

Tiger League - Gamma Division is gonna be brutal.

Alpha - Warsaw Wrath (84), Blue Mountain State Mountain Goats (109), Tasmanian Devils (137), Memphis Pharaohs (128)
Beta - Banger PEACEING PUNISHINGMENTS (135), Rocky Mountain Thunder (133), Booty Bay Pirates (97), Minnesota Bad Axes (155)
Gamma - Portland Ronin (7), Tampa Bay Belligerent Drunks (39), Oklahoma Outlaws (41), Legacy (12)

Can you say division disparity?

On the subject of poor league alignment - Venus League (rookies) http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/league/32 has three CPU teams. Shouldn't one be in each division, instead of two in one and no easy 255-0 in my damn division?

They will be bought so i guess

Nah... we welcome the challenge, just had to ask if this was a mistake or intended. I'm cool with it!
