Welcome to the first WIS Big Balls Showcase. To succeed you will, first and foremost, need to overcome yourself.

Have you had success throughout your WIS career? Do you consistently struggle to make the playoffs? Or are you somewhere in the middle? Regardless of your background, this league attempts to level the playing field using a simple yet surprisingly reliable formula. This formula will use the stats available in your user profile at the time you sign up to determine your individual salary cap.

Yes, that's right. The users in this league will be going up against each other with different salary caps all season long. Owners who have had a history of success will be forced to demonstrate their prowess with a disadvantage, whereas players with less illustrious histories will have a chance to turn the tables with a higher cap.

So, what is this formula? Glad you asked:
( Win % + Playoff Win % + Playoff Ratio + Championship Ratio ) / 4 = Your User Score

Playoff Ratio = Playoff Appearances / Teams
Championship Ratio = Championships / Playoff Appearances

User scores will range significantly, but we don't want the caps to range a ridiculous amount (even the best won't have a chance with a 25M+ disadvantage), so the cap breakdown will be as follows:

User Score	Cap
< .25	110M
.25 - .3	108M
.3 - .333	106M
.333 - .367	104M
.367 - .4	102M
.4 - .425	100M
.425 - .45	99M
.45 - .475	98M
.475 - .5	97M
.5 - .525	96M
.525+	95M

Ideally, I'd like to have at least 1 owner from each User Score Range, but there won't be any strict restriction there. However, divisions will be set in order of User Score with number 1, 12, 13, 24 going in the NL East, etc.

As for roster restrictions, there are none. Just enter your best team at your given salary cap. Time to put up or shut up.

All the info is in your User Profile, which is assible simply by clicking your name to the last of a forum post, or to the right of your team's record, etc in any league

Sure, I'll give this a shot. Give me a ~10M advantage over any owner, and I think I've got a chance.

I calculate my user score at 0.2759, which puts me at 108M.

consider me in --- let me know my user score and when I need to do something.

Let me know what my score is and I will join

I came up with $106million, don't know if that is right .325 please check

Welcome reddtrain, pennsylvania, and jmc44! Good to see us off to a quick start.

reddtrain, your calculation was correct, and you are at 108M.

pennsylvania, you are in at a User Score of .406 and a cap of 100M.

jmc44, your User Score is .326 and you have a cap of 106M.

All three of you may now enter your teams at any time.

I am in. I like that you've come up with an overall ranking of sim performance. upon further review I agree with your .430.

TBill7, great! I have you at .430, which would give you a 99M cap. Should I mark you down?

I will try this,,thanks

I'm going to try this

Welcome, zephyr1949! Your User Score is .348 which gives you a cap of 104M

LOL - I've got to try this one. I calculate myself at: (.478+.438+.165+.052)/4 = .283 = $108M. Just missed the top prize for WIS futility.
