I've seen a lot of crappy teams with a high world/country ranking.

I think rank is a much purer rating system. A manager who can succeed with a lower salary, and consistently beats teams he shouldn't, is going to have a higher rank long term.
Well, of course you would, it's a measurement reflects favorably on you. I think a better rating system is to rank a league by the number of IV.48 alumni...

Anyway, here's the problem with rank: it doesn't measure the strength of teams. I mean, there's a little bit of transfer of rank between leagues based on promotion and demotion, but most of the rank is going to come from the cup, which is really dependent on matchups and timing. If you have a number of teams in your league that prioritize the cup over league play, then you'll end up with a league with higher ranking members, but that doesn't mean you have a tougher league.


I agree,. The ranking can be a good way to determine where a team is headed...However, take a look at this team (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/22817/overview.aspx) Ranked #124...If you checked them out at the end of last season, they were still in the top 100...A team facing them in the cup would be scared at first glance...but when you look at their roster, you would see they are in the midst of a rebuilding projects...So rankings can paint a picture...they can also leave out a lot of details.

According to Charles, credit is given where credit is due. So Rip is right to suggest rank over salary. 10 inch, thanks for the link.

If you're using rank III.1 still wins I believe;), so there's that.

So where would you rank King Drive Ballers?

I think his ranking is accurate based upon his current team.

Also in looking at rank as the system, I would have to agree with Droids. III.1 has multiple sub 100 teams and is a very competitive league.

I also want to add that I think a great way of evaluating a leauge's competitiveness is how their champs do in the following years. III.1 holds up very well in this respect. . .so does III.5.

Out of the many great teams we have in III.5, Rip is going to be a great representative!

Nice job on the setup Rip!

Go III.5!

Being in my first season in DIII I have a better idea about how some of these D.IV teams can go so far in the cup. If you have a promotion worthy team in D.IV you can TIE against just about everybody in your league and even rest your starters during league games so they are in top game shape for Cup games. I doubt I make it in the as far in the cup this year as I have the past 3 years (while I was in D.IV). Mostly because I need to focus more of the effort and enthusiasm on league games rather than cup games.

Even so, I'm not complaining as D.III is where I want to be (for now)
