[FINAL] 2009 Clan League - THOTA are Champions!

[TheBro]

Yes Blitz is obsessed with being #1....


But he's totally right here! Not sure about the baseball argument, doesn't the team with a better win % rank higher?

Whatever, it's funny to see Thota in second, even funnier that the Dragoons are in first!

[jarrett155]

looking at the list i think it may be wins-losse = number used for ranking.

Looks like Immortal Assassins might be the first clan to go 10-0 in any week. 1 game is being remade, as it was made a standard and nobody caught it. LOL But barring a loss there should be 10-0.

No. Baseball assumes 50/50 split. As was said, by your logic a team that is 1-0 would be in first place.

Right now, Dragoons have 5 more wins and 4 more losses than THOTA. Meaning THOTA should be a half game behind, as they are.

The standings are correct, but who cares? It only matters who is on top at the end. If THOTA is that concerned with their current place, perhaps they can finish off a few more games?

we are playing against thota right now... for week 3, so im sure it will be straightened out soon. although even by win percentages we are in second. we are not doing bad at all, and im shocked that people are surprised that we are doing well, lol.

Concur, tho I think you're being a bit harsh. After all, those week 2 games against the BYE clan are taking foreeeeeeeever.

Bye weeks should count as 10-0!!

Hey you get 2 bye weeks does mean it counts on the ladder??

I'll take a win any way I can get them

The fact that EVERYONE else would get the same benefit is beside the point!!

So baseball is the only sport that does it? All the other sports go by win % don't they?

Hockey uses a point system, so that's completely different.

Football is win %, but teams are never more than 1 game ahead of any other team, so it doesn't matter.

Basketball uses the same as baseball.

Really, I dont see this as a problem. Generally teams will have played the same amount of games, so the team that is in first WILL have the higher win percentage. But since this is just starting, the numbers will look screwy as clans come in and out of bye weeks while other clans play more games. It will settle at the end as the game count rises and there is more equality in amount of games finished for each clan. The clan that finishes in first at the end of the season will have the highest winning percentage.

Standings updated, an 8-0 streak by Immortal Assassins has put them into the lead.

Soon to be 10-0 A testament to the clan as a whole as we are using as many people in the clan as possible.

Thanks for the clarification!

I realize it doesn't matter, I just thought the system was flawed and not used. Apparently it is flawed but still used. Kudos to IA!
