The following table is my best estimate at coming up with pre-season rankings. A number of factors went into the rankings, including your overall sim W-L%, number of championships as well as your previous WIS Championship results (if applicable). Clearly, if you play in a lot of progressive leagues, this will hurt your ranking. Also, newer players get penalized a bit for lack of championships. For the most part, the rankings are pretty good (typically, 50-75% of the top 24 will advance to round 2).
The number next to your name is your Official Team Number. Use this number to look up which leagues you will be playing in.
