So, I wanted to give you fellas an update on our League Standings. We have a three way tie at the bottom currently with Scoop, Jarrett and Chris. Some of you might be curious as to how ESPN orders these teams. I was as well, in fact, so I called the bastards today whilst I was supposed to be working. Here is the long and the short of it straight from the horses mouth.
We have three teams with a 4-7 record. Tigers, Shattenkirksbed and Shoreside. ESPN has them placing 8, 9, and 10 in that order. Here is how they have done that.
Step One: ESPN looks at the head to head record of the teams. In this case, each of them has a 1-1 record. No solution there.
Step Two: ESPN looks at total points for. Scoop is the champ here with 2221.1 points and that is why he sits in the 8th position.
Step Three: ESPN goes back to the head to head record and this time specifically between Shatteninkirksbed and Shoreside. In Matchup 4, Shattenkirksbed defeated Shoreside 224-158, and that is why we have Shattenkirksbed in position 9, and Shoreside in position 10.
And there we have it.
Another one of life's mysteries solved.
