The Second WIS Big Balls Showcase MLB116270 Topic

MLB116270

Welcome to the second 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, plus your previous results in the BBS, 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 + BBS Win % ) / 5 = Your User Score

Playoff Ratio = Playoff Appearances / Teams
Championship Ratio = Championships / Playoff Appearances
BBS Win % = Your win % from past seasons of the Big Balls Showcase

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
< .3 110M
.3 - .333 108M
.333 - .367 106M
.367 - .4 104M
.4 - .425 102M
.425 - .45 100M
.45 - .475 99M
.476 - .5 98M
.5 - .525 97M
.525 - .55 96M
.55+ 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.

Note that I adjusted the salary cap ranges for this season due to the addition of past results to the formula. The ranges will not be adjusted again for the foreseeable future.

Also, a note to new owners. Since you have no BBS Win% history, your WIS Win% will be counted twice in the calculation of your User Score. If I did not do this, your cap would be skewed upwards (User Score skewed downwards) compared to the returning owners.
