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.
