Below is our 3rd seasonal ZPL Predictions. Players ratings are explained below. As always I projected the percentage of minutes each player will play for every team. This has a direct effect on the adjusted ratings. I tried to make everything as readable as I could. ENJOY!

OVERALL RANK IS THE AVERAGE OF THE OTHER 6 RATINGS.

TEAM SALARY IS THE COMBINATION OF ALL 12 PLAYERS WIS SALARY FOR THE 1986-87 SEASON.

AVERAGE RATING IS THE AVERAGE RATING OF ALL THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES/FORMULAS I USE

TEAM RATING IS BASED ON A 100 POINT SCALE. EACH TEAMS TOTAL POINTS, FGM, FG%, 3PM, 3PT%, FTM, FT%, OREB, DREB, STL, AST, AST/TO, TO, BLK, PF, DEF RATING, AND SALARY IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AND AWARDED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF POINTS AS COMPARED TO ALL OTHER TEAMS.

RATING 1 IS CALCULATED FROM THE TOTAL OF EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS POINTS, FGM, FG%, 3PM, 3PT%, FTA, FT%, OREB, DREB, STL, AST, AST/TO, TO, BLK, PF, DEF RATING, AND SALARY COMPARING THEM TO A HIGHLY UNREACHABLE STANDARD VALUE AND THEN EQUATING THE TOTALS FOR ALL CATEGORIES TO A 100 POINT SCALE.

RATING 2 IS CALCULATED THE SAME WAY AS DESCRIBED IN THE "PLAYER RATING" CATEGORY HOWEVER SINCE MOST TEAMS HAVE MORE MINUTES THAN CAN BE USED DURING THE COURSE OF THE SEASON EACH PLAYERS MINUTES ARE ESTIMATED BASED ON POTENTIAL PLAYING TIME AND THEN ADDED TOGETHER. FOR THE TEAMS WITH A SHORTAGE OF MINUTES A PENALTY IS ACCESSED TO ANY PLAYERS THAT HAVE TO PLAY MORE THAN 101.5% OF THEIR RL MINUTES.

$/TEAM MINUTESIS THE TOTAL TEAM WIS SALARY OF ALL 12 PLAYERS DIVIDED BY THEIR TOTAL MINUTES.

4 of the top 10 in the midwest + the 13th!   Damn!

can we get our own private forum for this league?
