[Underdog]

Achievement = Weighted Points - note
Championship Season Win = 1 - Base value
Championship Season Tie = 0.5
Playoff Appearance = 2.6667 - 6 of 16 teams make POs per season
Playoff Win = 5.3333 - A Playoff Game yields 8 Weighted Points
Imperial Bowl Appearance = 16 - 2 teams make IB per year
Imperial Bowl Win = 32 - average team wins 1 IB every 32 years, the other base value

Starting from the top there is Norfolk and there is the other 31 teams. Lawrence is the only team close to the Vipers. Obviously There two teams are the best over the first 11 years of the IFL.

The Above Average grouping is Little Rock, Madison, Cleveland, St.Louis and Anchorage.

Follwed by the unwashed masses of Salt Lake, Georgia/Columbia, Iowa City, Hartford, Texas, Murfreesboro, Vermont, Portland, Oakland, Orlando, Lansing, Newark, Louisiana.

The slightly below average group is Pennsylvania, L.A. Tulsa, Wichita, Houston, Reno and West Virginia.

Then there is the rest of the IFL with Dakota, Boston, Vancouver, Montreal and California


Using this formula the average IFL team gets 13 points a season making Portland the average IFL team after 11 seasons

The average teams are Texas, Georgia/Columbia, Murfreesboro, Vermont, Orlando, Salt Lake, Oakland, Lansing, and Iowa City

ROFL!!!

My team is average. When the league started we were a doormat, then drafted Hamilton and Martinez, and traded for Bice. We went on a roll for about 4 years and now....we are a doormat again.

And someone sure is good at math. No clue how ya even get all that info correctly! haha

[JesterBlaze]

Great read!

Can you explain the following though?

Championship Season Win = 1 - Base value
Championship Season Tie = 0.5

Is that a point for the IFL champ for each win he has that season or also a point for each victory against the eventual Champ by other teams? Or something else?



And what's with the "F" in "Fantoms"? :twisted:

Interesting analysis ... I'll take the picture now and keep it for the scrapbook because future snapshots will only show Lawrence (especially with their plethera of draft picks) and others as well, chipping away and chipping away some more at these nice looking stat pages. Things just are not going to be so rosy for the Vipers for the next few years.

Currently, I am in the market for a fancy set of mirrors to go along with the smoke that I will be trying to blow up some teams butts next year ... alas, it has come to this. So sad. :cry: There will be no doubt that I'll be doing alot of drinking next year ... but not for the same reasons that Murf requests such.

Seriously, I love this stuff. Welcome back dog.

How difficult would it be to do this with players?

[Matt]

very kool indeed. Nice work.

[Pirates]

Mind blowing and just happy we are pretty average.
