Here is the updated season’s rankings…all 188 of them. If you finished among the top-47, congratulations, you either won a championship or delivered an elite season that failed to deliver a mug. If your season is ranked between 48-94, be proud. You made the playoffs. You are either a average team that produced a ton of wins or a great team that couldn’t quite catch a break. If you finished 95-141, half of you probably didn’t make the playoffs and if you did, you didn’t win a post-season game. If you finished 142-188, then don’t brag.
2014 Team Rankings:
#1 Bob Castrone (372.7 points)
He earned his first scoring title, his first top seed and his fourth champion. Thanks to nearly averaging 1,600 points per game (for the regular and post-season), Bob’s 2014 is now the greatest ever, taking down Matt’s 2009.
#20 Matt Neatock (290.5 points)
Matt’s 2009 was the greatest ever…until this year (thanks, Bob). However, he did produce his second best ever season this year, even beating out his 2007 title team (that team is currently the 34th best season ever).
#29 Colby Hall (275.7 points)
While Colby will feel disappointed for his early exit and inability to beat Griff this season, he still managed to have his best season ever in 2014. In fact, this is the fifth greatest season by a team that failed to earn one post-season victory.
#51 Richard Burrier (246.6 points)
Burrier just misses out on a top-50 season, but still a solid year. It’s just his second top-51 season since 2007, after having four straight between 2003-2006.
#53 Molly Coomer (244.8 points)
Molly’s 2014 season was her fifth best season ever. Oddly enough, she’s finished 7-6 for the third straight year, but at least she earned her first post-season win since 2008.
#71 Griff Coomer (234.1 points)
First time since 2008 Griff has failed to average 1,300 points per game. Yet, he made the playoffs for the 13th time in sixteen seasons and produced his 10th season among the top-75 seasons of all-time.
#93 Rob Masterson (213.0 points)
He had his worst season since 2010, yet it wasn’t too tragic. Rob made the playoffs for the fourth straight season, producing a fourth straight season within the top-100.
#108 Rich Calderon (197.4 points)
It was just the second time since 2007 that Calderon has finished outside the top-100 and just his fourth time in his full career. Although Rich did make the playoffs, this was the third worst championship defense (Bob in 2004 was the worst, followed by Matt in 2008).
#126 Don Vozzola (178.3 points)
He finished below .500 for the fifth straight season, missed the playoffs three straight years and has failed to produce a top-90 season since 2008.
#128 Jeff Greenblatt (176.2 points)
Because he only produced three wins, he won’t get the official label as the greatest team to not make it to the playoffs. In fact, he’s just the ninth best team to not make the post-season. However, he did become the third person to average at least 1,343 points per game and miss playoffs.
#156 Eric Vozzola (153.6 points)
His 2012 season remains the 7th best of all-time, but unfortunately for Eric, it has proven to be a fluke as he’s failed to produce a top-100 season for the sixth time since 2008, missing the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.
#170 Robio Murray (131.0 points)
My second worst season in my year. In fact, my last six years have been a yoyo. I’ve finished #8, #18 and #10 and I’ve finished #182, #115 and #170 since 2009.

POINTS: The most important thing in my book is scoring…points are more important than wins. So I take your total points and divide it by 10 (Burrier scored 1,410 in 2003, so he got 141 points). If you earn the scoring title, you get ten bonus points.
WIN-LOSS: Because we have five seasons of 14 games, I don’t want them to benefit from playing more games, so what I do is subtract your loses from 13 games, what ever number you end up with, I multiple it by 10. So in 1999, I went 11-3, so I subtract by 3 loses from 13 (not 14), so I get 10×10 and that’s 100. Prior to this I did winning percentage, but no more. I wanted to give a little bit more reward for winning, although scoring is still the most important.
SEEDING: Since we eliminated divisions, I’m rewarding bonuses for seeding. If you’re the top seed, you get 8 bonus points. The second seed gets 4, the third seed gets 2 and the 4-seed gets one bonus point. You’re welcome.
HIGH’S & LOW’S: To help separate the teams, I offer rewards for the little things and knock points off for the little naughty things. You get +2 for every weekly high score and -2 for every weekly low score. In 2009, Bob had three high scores and one low score, so he got four bonus points.
1,500 & 1,000 POINTS: Scoring over 1,500 is a solid mark, while failing to hit 1,000 makes you a loser (usually). So if you score 1,500 or more in a game, you get +2 points. If you fail to hit 1,000, you lose -2 points. However, I also give you another bonus point if you hit 1,500 in the playoffs, but lose another point if you fail to hit 1,000 in the post-season. In 2002, I got ten 1,500-pt games (three were in the post-season) and two low scores, so I got 23 bonus points for the 1,500, but lost four for the games below 1,000.
TOP HALF: One last bonus prize…I reward you for beating the best of the best. I take your record against the top-six (based on points) in the league. If you win two more games than you lose, you get two points. If you go 6-2 against the elite, you get +4 points. Molly went 5-2 in 2002 against the elite, so she got three points. However, if you don’t do well, I do not punish you. So when Don in 2001 went 1-6, he just got zero.
PLAYOFF POINTS: Basically what I’ve done to increase the importance of the post-season, I take what you scored in the post-season and divide it by 10. So if you lose in the first round, but score well, you’ll get more points if you score shit. Masterson scored 1,709 in a first-round loss this season. He got 17.9 for this, while Eric also lost, but he got 10.3 (for scoring 1,029). So that’s it. If you go to the semis, you get two weeks worth of points and if you go to the finals, you get three weeks worth of points. Lastly, if you win it all, you still get that 20-point bonus.
THE CATEGORIES ARE: Record (Regular Season Record), PPG (Regular Season Points), Div. (Divisional Record), Post (Playoff record), POP (Playoff Points), Hi’s (Weekly High Scores), Low’s (Weekly low scores), Top (Record against the top-six that season), 1,500+ (Games scored over 1,500) and 999-0 (Games scored below 1,000).
