Last season my Tucson team put up 124.  I know the MLB record is like 116.  Just wondering what the best single season record has been on HBD.

Here's the overwhelming response you're gonna get:

'tard league.

I didn't even open the thread and that's what I was already thinking.

And why would that be?  People can't answer a simple question?

For every win, there is a loss.  If one team is piling up an unrealistic number of wins, it's because there are other teams losing.   Imbalanced worlds are called 'tard worlds.

FYI, one of the biggest 'tard worlds of all, Foxx, had one team win 135 or so.

Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	2	$69.8M	35-127 (.216)	4	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	3	$48.1M	25-137 (.154)	3	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	4	$35.5M	88-74 (.543)	3	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	5	$35.6M	97-65 (.599)	1	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	6	$50.1M	108-54 (.667)	1	X
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	7	$72.0M	116-46 (.716)	1	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	8	$86.1M	113-49 (.698)	1	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	9	$86.0M	120-42 (.741)	1	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	10	$89.9M	123-39 (.759)	1	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	11	$94.4M	124-38 (.765)	1	X
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	12	$84.3M	118-44 (.728)	1	X
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	13	$89.3M	139-23 (.858)	1	-
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	14	$90.6M	137-25 (.846)	1	X
Foxx	SFE Brown Sox	15	$65.0M	124-38 (.765)	1	-

If you're winning 124, someone else is winning 38 (or thereabouts), and 38 win teams don't exist in good, competitive leagues with good owners.  You'll get the same response from, "My player just hit 87 HRs in a season.  What's the record?"  If you have a Major League player hitting 87 HRs, he's hitting against AA caliber pitchers at the ML level.

Your world's out of whack, with more more teams that either win 90 or more games or lose 90 or more games. For S16, when Tucson won 124 games, I found that the outlier for most HBD leagues (and MLB history) made up the majority of teams in Eckersley:

100+ wins or 100+ losses: 6 teams (1 with 120+ wins and 2 with 110+ losses)
90+ wins or 90+ losses: 12 teams (5 with losing records)
Between 90-86 wins and 90-86 losses: 7 teams (6 with losing records)
Between 85 wins and 85 losses: 7 teams (1 with losing record)

Quite simply, there are a lot of really good teams and a lot of really bad teams, with relatively few hovering around .500. There were 17 teams with winning records and 15 with losing records, including seven that lost 90 or more games. Five of those seven teams were in your league.

From the looks of things, your team was feasting on some seriously bad teams.

You do realize this is not even close to being true, right? In real life, the year the Mariners won 116 games, the worst team in the AL (Tampa Bay) only had 100 losses, and the last team in Seattle's division (Texas) only had 89. Yes, it's true that there is a loss for every win, but those losses can be spread out, with one dominant team beating down most of their opponents and everyone else being fairly even and beating up on each other. Maybe this guy's world is very imbalanced (I haven't looked) but it's highly erroneous to condemn a team as being in a 'tard world just because it happens to be a juggernaut.

This isn't MLB.   What he said is true in HBD, worlds with "juggernauts" usually have one or more "non-juggernauts".   Although, surprisingly, the worst team in his world had 46 wins.

That's because there were so many bad teams.

It would be nice if there was a list of all of the tard worlds somewhere.

lol. not exactly the way mathematics works, but i admire the attempt. there are 2592 games in a season. 2592-124=2468. the 2468 other wins could feasibly be split among the other 31 teams. 2468/31=79.2. pretty sure my math's right. i don't have a calculator or even pen and paper. correct me if i'm wrong.

You typed this on a computer, I presume... just sayin'... even phones have calculator's... 79.61, but close enough.
mhulshult's math is far closer to any reality than your's is; how many HBD OR MLB seasons have ever occurred where the league was remotely close to 32 or 30 81-81 teams?

Will you be setting up a tutoring session on mathematics later?
