Warrior General Games

GAME OF THE WEEK

Belgrade Blaze vs Drăgăşani Dragons

This week's GotW puts up the two worst teams in Zeta against each other. Both come into the game 0-11, but only one will come out with a new, shiny 1 in the win column. The Blaze have played some decent games this year, but nothing has come from it. The Dragons have been blown out every game, except the game against New Jersey, where they almost came away with a W. The Blaze are hurting chem wise, but I think for the most part, they have a good team and their record doesn't reflect the talent they have. I expect them to win this one in style... there's something I bet you wouldn't hear this season

Blaze -17

============================

You might see a change in the power rankings, and a significant one in Zeta that puts my team ahead of Sevastopol. I found an error that was screwing up a few things. The power rankings takes into account all your players on your team and their level, and then part of your power ranking score is how your player levels at each position compare to the rest of the league.

My team was taking a significant hit in special teams, because for some reason, it wasn't recognizing our punter. The same goes with the Chubby Wizards, but it wasn't recognizing their punter because he has the same name of their kicker and that was throwing the Excel macro off.

So Iggy, predictions aside, from your own thoughts, do you think i can win 3/5 games?

Sorry, you're going to miss the playoffs. The only shot you have is if MAYBE you can squeak a win against The Cape Town Cubicles, but even so, they would have to go 1-4 for you two to have the same record and you win the tiebreaker.

Guess i'll have to go undefeated now til then.

3 of 4 teams ahead of us in the POWER RANKINGS we've beat?!? Good formula

It's not perfect and it has some errors, but it gets the job done. For instance, your team only has 4 LB's, but the Power Rankings take into consideration the top 5 LB's on a team. Therefore, you get a 0 for your 5th LB. If I put a 12 in there, your score becomes 77.7.

There's also a 2 point adjustment to do to each team that I don't bother doing because it's too much of a pain in the ass and takes too long to do. If I did that, you'd probably be better than Cape Town also. So just consider that every score is +/- 2.

Yeah I'm just busting your balls, I appreciate what you do and love the threads for every week. You'll be missed.

Still, Go 'topes!

question, how can the both the wolverines and the stackers be projected at 16-0 when they play each other the last day of the regular season?

I addressed this a few weeks ago that it's an error in the league projector. There's no comparison between the two leagues since they only play one game, and that's at the end of the season. The league projector just has the Wolverines/Stackers team's success to go by, so it sees that both will win the game. It can't compare the two for that game.

Here's it's current predictions, so you can see that there's nothing related to the final game for the 2 teams. It has some games with both teams losing too :

Stackers, they're easily the favorite to win it all.
