for last season's final individual stats and the thread of posts for the last few weeks of the season with predictions from my simulations see
http://www.fibsboard.com/fibsleagammon/team-league-predictions-t1672.0.html .. last season's final standings are available at
http://www.souptree.net/fibs_league/?page=standings&graphics=small&historic=4 .. change the 4 to a 3, 2, or 1 for earlier seasons
new teams may be added or changes in players may occur during the first few days or weeks of this season, i'll update the seed order, if necessary .. once the season is underway, i'll begin posting projected standings based on predictions from simulations of position by position play including current results .. the seed order above is based soley on average team ratings .. predictions of the model based on position by position simulations may vary from this seed order .. it will take a few days to set up the model for this season
good luck to all and enjoy the fifth Team League season .. special thanks to
souptree and
zyxtcba for providing another fun season .. please feel free to add comments or corrections any time
