RANKINGS AS OF MAY 19th
(1) Panther League
(2) Lynx League
(3) Cougar League
(4) Leopard League

(1) Panther League
Clearly the leader with seven threads, but teetering at the top. As of this writing, none of those threads are on their second page and all of them were created by one of two posters (TxSteve or Chris51). Also, there's a lot of weekly threads, so we're looking at an early leap in quantity without the quality to back it up. Look for Panther to take a huge tumble unless other posters pick it up.

(2) Lynx League
Some may think Cougar should be in this spot, but Lynx is showing some early promise. Power rankings and a league newspaper? If Lynx can keep this up, the sky's the limit. Only ding here is that most of the forum work is being done by one poster (namely jhiggseiu14) and he's already had to make a thread pleading for more activity. Without readership, Lynx will never realize its creative potential but at this point, still a dark cat to watch.

(3) Cougar League
An early favorite, but rocked by multi scandal and marred with ill-advised parody threads. There also seems to be a schism forming between players and owners, but the season is still young and hopefully Cougar can recover. Having six total threads looks good on paper, but a closer analysis reveals that a high percentage of those threads were created by outsiders or future permas. Still, with a good mix of posters and two threads already onto their second page, Cougar could be top cat by season's end.

(4) Leopard League
Horrible. Bottom of the pile for a reason.

Hey I post on Lynx as well.

It looks like he is basing his "power rankings" on the amount of thread in the league forum.

uh, wrong. you've got that completely backwards, in fact. read the write-ups and you'll see i'm emphasizing quality over quantity every time.

UPDATED RANKINGS

(1) Panther League
Still on top, Panther is almost cemented as kings of the rookies except for a bit of confusion concerning the amount of overlap between Panther and Leopard. Fun fact, old world Panthers are Leopards and new world Panthers are Jaguars -- and to make matters even more confusing, the Florida Panther is actually a Cougar (though there are no authenticated cases of truly melanistic cougars). Then there's the whole notion of a Black Panther, which is any melanistic Panthera (which includes lions and tigers, oh my), so we won't even go there.

(2) Cougar League
Back in second place, this is where Cougar should've been all along, pre-season rankings be damned. It's tough to argue with four common names (Cougar, Puma, Mountain Lion, and Catamount). And no, I'm not going to get into the whole Catamount-controversy thing. Wikipedia says four and even three is impressive enough. Welcome to second place, Cougar.

(3) Leopard League
Leopards show a great diversity in coat color and rosettes patterns. In general, the coat color varies from pale yellow to deep gold or tawny, and is patterned with black rosettes. The head, lower limbs and belly are spotted with solid black. Coat color and patterning are broadly associated with habitat type. Their rosettes are circular in East Africa but tend to be squarer in southern Africa and larger in Asian populations.

(4) Lynx League
Huge drop for Lynx, but what do you expect when your biggest subspecies is a mere 66 pounds? Wow, so scary. Also, you only have five ladder wins and what, two top-10 teams? Pathetic.

Your rankings are lol


Ill take my team against any team in rookie. Its just hard to be motivated for rookie. Im still stuck in the GLb1 mindset
