interesting to see slam, viral infections and chelsea seagulls feature again

but there are 3 clear standout teams in hopelessly addicted, Slam ! and Monkey Business

hopelessly addicted and Monkey Business won their championships but Slam ! ran into adams guns and couldnt hang on and win

interesting to see how low on the pecking ourer the other two champs were in adams guns and Kynlala Knights who maybe wasnt so all over the Cowboys From Hell as everyone thought

finally the best rated teams

yeah ratings are bad and ill show you some reasons why in a sec but here they are

Monkey Business 9 II.2 20 8
adams guns 8 ABBL II.4 18 9
Zazzocalypse 7 II.2 18 11
Snuffies 5 ABBL II.1 16 12
CROCKERS 8 II.4 16 15
High School Drop-outs 4 II.4 18 16
Kynlala Knights 9 II.1 19 18
Hadders Heros 3 ABBL II.4 15 20
Beechy 8 II.3 15 22
Lara Giants 4 ABBL II.2 15 23
The Meateors 5 ABBL II.1 11 24
Chelsea Seagulls 10 II.3 15 25
Cowboys From Hell 9 II.1 16 27
hopelessly addicted 6 II.3 15 28
Glenelg Tigers 6 II.2 18 29
DownUnder Thunder 6 II.1 11 30
Stone Slashers 9 II.3 10 31
Steves Crocs 2 ABBL II.1 7 32
Haggards 5 ABBL II.3 15 33
Western Titans 8 II.4 12 34
Super Goal 3 II.2 9 37
Downboys 4 II.3 12 39
Drunken All-Stars 6 II.2 16 40
Melbourne Goldfish 10 II.1 12 41

yeah i went down to #41 so my team would show up :)

example #1 of why the ratings suck - steves crocks won 7 games and got relegated - #32 in oz?
example #2 meateors won 11 games - does that sound like #24 and supergoals 9 wins was good enough for #37 in oz - then how come nevade saucers also won 11 games and are #95 or viral infections who won 14 games are down on #72 and moosas mad men won 15 games to be only #61, 10 places out could make sense but 70?


ok hope someone is interested

Bbstats rating is a weird one. This season I pretty much wiped the floor against some of the higher 'rated' teams in either the league, playoffs or private league.

Even the Cowboys at the same rating I beat him convincingly 3 times this season by around 20.

I think im being penalized for having no depth! Starter for starter I think my team is up there... After that... XD

Doesn't matter though, got some fantastic promoting teams this season!

thanks for doing all that mate, really interesting!
im just wondering for the bbstats ratings, wld it be heavily influenced for the teams like HA who bought 1 or 2 monsters with huge salaries just for the PO's??

The 6th youngest team in divi2? Grouse. Were also probably the 6th worst. But you missed one thing we made it to the playoffs too even with our crap Country Rank: 96 - don't reckon there was a worse team in the playoffs.
