The following table shows the weighted "Cookie Score" for each owner. The cookie score represents how many cookies your team has. For example, if every one of you players was taken 7 times, then your cookie score would be 7.00. If you are the only person to take all 25 of your players, your cookie score is 1.00. It's weighted for salary, so 200K guys don't skew the results. The average cookie score in this theme is 2.72.
