Warrior General Games

I post a rankings system called "The 9 Enquirer" and this ranking system is based similar to your idea.

I created a "committee" which has members in them (currently +10) then they send in their ranking system each week (that'll be about 3 games), and I tally up the score and post the thread.


Now my suggestion for you with the debate of having a unbiased ranking system is to force the "members" to rank EVERY team in the league, this actually works out great.


p.s. I would also permit players to join in the rankings, now although most of the members are owners, there are some who are players and/or GMs.

Hope you have better success as time goes .

What's the draw to the Oakland Cheetahs? Not trying to stir anything. I'm looking at their roster and seeing a top 5 but not top 2. Seriously, just curious.

Undefeated and untied usually gets a lot of respect in poll ranking systems. Check how the real polls work in College Football.

Agreed, although somehow GLB Honalulu fares better than undefeated NCAA Hawaii does lol.

It's time consuming enough to get the top 16 figured out, let alone all 32 lol. Thanks for the advice though, I think after a few gamew we will get more votes. Just a reminder, you don't have to be an owner or even a GM to vote, just a representative of your team.

Go look who they've played and then give that argument. There's plenty of undefeated teams that don't deserve to be ranked in the top 5 each year. So the undefeated thing doesn't fly. They haven't played any teams in the top of the conference.

The top west teams haven't played each other that much yet.. so your argument isn't that good.

It will all work itself out in time, we've had the good luck to have already played New York, Bayou and Coffee Town.

Ok, lets try this again.

You're proving my point. They've beaten cake teams like everyone else but the other top teams have better players and ratings. So why are they rated above say... you guys or Portland? What am I missing here?

The best west teams have all played cake teams
Portland, Honolulu, Naturals, Omaha all have better ratings and players.........
so why are the Cheetahs getting more respect?

I don't understand why this is difficult to understand.

Coffee Town is pretty stacked. If you guys have already faced all those teams you should do really really well. I like the Huntsville team. Sean Hannity's favorite team.

Because it will be more fun to jump them when we whup them

It's hard not to like a team who makes it's home next to Space Camp! lol

HA HA. Very true. I never went but seems like everyone else did.

Audio I thought we were getting new rankings?

I just edited my previous post, so the new rankings are up.

Here are my votes:

1. Honolulu HW: not cause it's my team but we are 1 of 2 undefeated teams left for now. Tougher wins than Tampa.

2. Tampa Bay Greyhounds: great team stats and undefeated

3. Northwest Arkansas Naturals: Only tie in the first game, but has great team

4. Omaha Outlaws: best 1 loss team

5. Coffee Town Bootleggers: best starting lineup in league, but lacks depth

6. Toronto Turtles: good depth with one loss

7. Portland Persecution: good one loss team, couple close wins

8. Las Vegas Lightning: great one loss team who are on a roll

9. Maryland Predators: hotest 2 loss team right now

10. Bayou Bandits: wins over the othe 5-2 teams

11. Huntsville Rockets: this will be settled in next game.

12. Paper Street Space Monkeys: will get settled innext game.

13. New York Grizzlies: 5-2

14. Baton Rouge Bengal Tigers: 3 tough losses to good teams.

15. Orlando Bone Crushers: coming off 2 straight wins.

This is still very early in the season and anything can happened. Many teams have aleady made some major improvements so it will be interesting to see how everything plays out. There are a couple of good teams with average records that could surprise some people.

Games to watch tomorrow:
East:
Paper Street Space Monkeys (5-2) Vs. Huntsville Rockets (5-2)

West:
Northwest Arkansas Naturals (6-0-1) vs. Baton Rouge Bengal Tigers (4-3)

Suggestion:
thanks Audiophanatic for organizing this poll, I would suggest putting the poll results in the first post each week so we can see the results from week to week and compare the changes.
