1-5 this pm2; 3 losses by shutout; L6 for the $120M team which once held, I think, a 14-game lead.

Collapse is ON.

Based on projected wins in each league, here are the spreads between max wins and min wins, by league.

60M: 41
80M: 75*
90M: 57
100M: 44
120M: 49
200M: 32 (max = 100 wins, min = 68 wins)

Looking at all the teams in each league, here is the standard deviation between wins, by league...

60M: 12.1
80M: 14.9*
90M: 11.6
100M: 9.9
120M: 13.1
200M: 7.3

* skewed by The Taint's 22-117 team

There's some crazy races in the 120M and 200M leagues...

In the 120M National League, check out the wildcard race. I wonder if a 7-way tie would crash the system?

ennam_iv	76-60
acn24	69-67
bardin	68-68
msleath	68-68
PennQuaker	70-66

mpitt76	68-68
schwarze	83-53
bigmc	67-69
The Taint	62-74
ballantine	48-88

And this is possible because of the AL West...

Yeah, I know. I came here this morning only out of some morbid fascination. Like how you can't loook away from a train wreck.

But, actually, it's not *quite* as bad as I thought it might be -- I'm surprised I'm still projected to finish in the Top 10, for example --just wait until all my current playoff-projected teams finish bombing out.

Still, I haven't seen anything like it since, oh, last summer, when the Exact Same Thing happened to my teams in your "Progressive Tournament Challenge." Think I can get any signatures on my petition to admin to have the seasons shortened to 120 games?

I used to pride myself on having teams that performed better in the second half of the season. That source of pride has now completely and utterly disappeared with regards to this tournament. From 1st to out of the top 10... ugh...

Sorry, perhaps this missive should be placed in the official 2009 WISC venting (whining?) thread...

Lord have mercy, I went 5-1 this am...

...2-4 each of the next two cycles, though, so I needn't have gotten excited.
