Here is the updated season’s rankings…all 164 of them. I’ve tweaked the math this year (you can see how I figure all this at the very bottom of this page). I’ve also added a new feature, you can now see just your seasons (because really, do you care about anyone else?)
Anyhow, the get some perspective, if you have a season in the top-41, congratulations, you had a fantastic year. You most likely scored a lot, won a lot and went deep into the post-season. All scoring champs are here, thirteen of fourteen top seeds and twelve of the league’s fourteen championships cracked the top-41.
If you have a season between 42-82, be happy, you still had a solid season. Every team in the top-82 made the playoffs. Here is where you’ll find your more lucky champions and some good scoring, but unlucky lower seeds.
Seasons between 83-123 are divided. About half the teams made the playoffs, the other half didn’t. Of the teams who missed the playoffs, most were probably good enough to make the playoffs, but just missed it or got unlucky. Of the playoff teams, few are higher seeds and most never won a single post-season game.
Lastly, you have seasons 124-164. If you have a season here, you’re not going to want to talk about it.
2012 Team Rankings:
#5 Eric Vozzola (319.1 points) – Eric goes from #139 last year to the greatest non-championship team in league history. He won nine, took home the scoring title and in the title game, scored the most points in a defeat in league history.
#15 Robio Murray (292.1 points) – Just the ninth greatest championship run ever (in 14 seasons). I won ten overall, but was just fifth in scoring, before making an incredible playoff run. My 5,152 points in the post-season were the second most scored in the playoffs. This was my sixth greatest season.
#23 Griff Coomer (278.2 points) – Griff earned his second career top-seed, but losing in the first round probably cost him a top-10 finish in season rankings. This was Griff’s fourth greatest seasons and his best since 2009.
#30 Rich Calderon (261 points) – He didn’t earn the top-seed or the scoring title, so no major bonus points (four for the 2-seed). However, this was Rich’s third greatest season based on season rankings. If he would have won at least one playoff game, this would have been his best season ever. Fun fact, seven of the top 30 seasons feature teams that failed to win a playoff game and Rich has two of them, both in the last three years.
#60 Bob Castrone (232.5 points) – This was Bob’s lowest ranked season since 2006, but thanks to a playoff victory, he was able to sneak ahead of both Masterson and Molly, despite finishing lower than them in both standings and regular season points.
#73 Rob Masterson (219 points) – Both Masterson and Molly (directly below) finished in the top-20 last year after amazing regular seasons, but both fall to the middle of the pack in 2012. Five of Rob’s 11 seasons in Robioland are ranked between #60-75.
#74 Molly Coomer (218.8 points) – Technically Molly tied Masterson in wins, barely beat him in total points and score more points in the post-season, but Rob landed one spot ahead of Molly because he got bonus points with one weekly high score (+2) and she had one more game below 1,000 (-2).
#85 Richard Burrier (210.7 points) – Burrier has been in Robioland for 11 seasons. Five of his seasons were better than this years season; five were worse, thus this is the most average season Rich has ever had.
#113 Colby Hall (171.4 points) – Colby has only had three seasons lower than this one, including one spot behind this season at #114. Officially Colby finished below Matt in the standings, but since he out-scored him and actually had a winning record (4-3) against the top-six teams, Colby leapfrogs Matt in these rankings.
#115 Matt Neatock (171.1 points) – Matt barely missed the playoffs, but this was still his fourth worst season of all time and the third lowest point total he’s ever produced.
#134 Don Vozzola (155 points) – Don’s eight-year playoff run ends, as he produced his worst season since 2003, when he won just four games and averaged 966 points per game.
#153 Jeff Greenblatt (124.3 points) – Since going solo, Jeff has produced three of the league’s worst 20 seasons by current teams. This season, was his worst ever.

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.
