I see everyone talking about Tard Worlds or non-Tard Worlds but I never see either of my leagues mentioned either way. I'm starting my 10th season in Clemens* and my 9th in Minor Leagues. I have 10 playoff appearances in 17 seasons but I need an unbiased assessment: Am I in Tard Worlds? Am I a Tard?

You're a Tard for asking Mike's opinion.

Are you enjoying your HBD experience?  If so, why do you care that a few people are getting their panties in a bunch about what's happening in worlds they are not participating in?

What jiml says is true.  If you like your world, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.   Clemens has sitestaff in it.   Those worlds are known for 'tardliness.    You had a team that finished 33-129.  That's below WifS' weak tanker standards.  And he was allowed back.   Maybe it was a mid-season takeover.   If not, it's a 'tard world.   However, the season before that you had TWO 39 win teams(one was sitestaff), a 46 win team and a 48 win team.   The sitestaff owner returned despite failing to meet the WifS tanker standard.   Based on a quick review, yep, 'tards.

If I'm not mistaken, Minor Leagues had an issue of some sort a long time ago.  Based upon the W/L records of the last three complete seasons, there's nothing that would indicate that it's a 'tard world.  That said, there may be stupid contracts and dumbass roster decisions but it's not affecting competitive balance.

Hope his helps.

Since we're discussing 'tard worlds, I have to make my annual reference to Ace Deuce. Now THAT was a 'tard world, even though there was really only one 'tard with 32 teams.
