I'm curious as to where Branch Rickey will fall in 6 months, as we're in Season 10 right now.

Justy so we're clear, since you decided to include Spahn... that world was public and a complete mess for 17 seasons. We just go it switched to private for the first time this season and are in the process of trying to clean it up. So, including a world with 17 public seasons and less than 1 full private season, then trashing it doesn't seem very insightful. Was it a complete mess? Yes. Are we working our butts off to clean up that trash? Absolutely. However, these labels and rankings aren't going to make that cleanup any easier.

I didn't know Spahn was a public league before this season. I just looked at the private leagues, Spahn was part of it, so I did the league. If you would have told me this last week, I would have taken them out. How ever you should feel good about the league, that even after 17 seasons of public life, there's still 5 leagues that are worse then yours. Plus after about a week, people will forget about the list and join the leagues that are open.

Everyone loves these things until their world is 97th.   But it does make for good conversation. 

Or lower than 97th.

I'm shocked that you haven't complained about your leagues Miket23.

They're 2 and 3.   I mentioned 5 worlds that I felt should be near the top as they're always mentioned as "elite".   They were  #1, 2, 3, 6, 10 in your rankings.

Most of the newer leagues have adopted "min win" rules and are really looking at the owners coming into the league, just like the elite worlds do. Should be intersting to see how things will change the next time I do the list.

The best worlds will still be the best... just a matter of margins, I'm sure.

If the rankings change because worlds are moving up(improving, IMO), that's a good thing.

as i mentioned, same held true for cochrane...

The full rankings have been added to page 1

Not sure that could be formatted any worse.

I was fine last night and this morning and now it's messed up. CS will have to figure out why.

I'm sure they're very concerned about it.

Of course they are.
