Starting to come down to earth a bit. Multiple 1-5 sessions over the last 2 days and nothing higher than 3-3

Back from vacation, so standings updates will be more regular going forward

Based on the stdev ranks, here are each owner's best, worst, and average team ranks so far

So far the tandem group has been a bit one-sided, though dippedncrack's 65M team is the third best in the tournament. He is really being weighed down by his 100M clone team (worst 100M team in the tournament)

schwarze: 86-61 (.585) -- would be 3rd place
dippedncrack: 73-74 (.497) -- would be 38th place
Together: 159-135 (.541) -- 16th place

I will take 16th place right now... especially considering we spent just a few hours combined building our six teams.

So far, the correlation between Pre-Rank and Rank is .700. This is remarkably consistent with last year's Round 1, where the correlation between Pre-Rank and Regular Season Rank (which is a better benchmark than Regular Season + Playoff Rank) was .709.

We are 33% done

The wildest swings between the first 162 games and second 162 games belong to markeking (64 wins --> 87 wins), DarthDurron (84 --> 54) and NebHusker (75 --> 94)

brianjw and scthallfan were the most consistent with 90 and 70 wins in both periods, respectively.

14th seed Fusion27s is digging himself quite a hole, though he still has time to turn it around.

Pulled to .500 in two leagues right at the 54-game mark, so for the moment anyway all my teams are at least .500. Granted, three are exactly .500, but who's quibbling?

MNH has quite a run going right now. 32-10 since we hit the 33% mark

wink0094 currently has two of the Top 5 teams in the tournament with his 65M and 90M teams. Really impressive!

72 game update. 9 of the Pre-Rank Top 10 (not including schwarze) are in the Top 10 (just missing dougpalm, who is still in the Top 24). This is in contrast to each of the last two years, when things were less by-the-numbers.
