Best Decade Team - Tournament Topic

I let my son decide what he wanted to play and he picked odds so I did evens.

We each took a few decades we liked and a few the other person didn't. No system, really.

We went odds and evens as well. It was my suggestion, but in retrospect I'm not sure it was wise. I didn't realise I'd be missing out on being in any leagues with a bunch of folks here.

We split them up by division. I took 1900s-50s. Slainte took 1960s-2010s.

Going thru the table above (and using the league assignment info on page 1 for those still missing), I figured out which owners are in my divisions. Amazingly, 19 of the 22 possible owners are in at least one division with me, but even more amazing, I am not paired up more than two times with any one person. And I was lucky enough to avoid brianjw.

Looks like all twelve leagues are full. I've sent rosters from my six leagues to schwarze.

As some of you know, in these type of leagues, I calculate something called the "Cookie Factor". Basically, the cookie factor measures how many players on your roster are widely popular "cookies". If you are the only person to select a player, that player's factor is 1.0. If everybody selects the same player, that player's factor is 12.0. By taking a weighted average (weighted by salary) of all 25 players on your roster, I get your team's cookie factor. The higher the number, the more "cookies" you have. I did this for each team. The table is posted below. Note that I also averaged each owner's cookie factor, but to be fair, I also had to take into consideration the decades each person is playing in. The ratio represents the owner's cookie factor divided by the expected cookie factor (based on his decade selection). Over 100% means more cookies than average. I left the order based on partnership groupings.

The following table shows the pitching salary (in millions) for each team and each decade. Similar to the above table, the ratio column shows each owner's relative affinity to pitching (>100% means more than average spent on pitching).
