TWLB Western Conference standings

[PaulOakenfold]

Dice wasn't the squad in question here, they just happened to have played both of us, having different results, that was my point.

[Kim]

Oh my fuckin god

Not this again.

[pascone]

+ / - isn't good at all

the nfl doesn't use it for a reason

you use common opponets and who had the better record against them


they don't use + / - until like 5 things are all tied or something

[Nethila]

Not this again.

wat he said

can we just drop this? We had serveral threads about this already, and none of them went anywhere.

[JeBu]

well it's fact that head2head should be before time ratio. it shouldn't be even hard choise

[Zeimonster]

öööh :P ofcourse first goes win ratio then head2head i c u dont know much about sports :P

it should be
win ratio>head2head>time ratio

didnt really think anyone would take me seriously...

[JeBu]

didnt really think anyone would take me seriously...

sure :P

[concealed]

okok taking a page out of pred's book
NUKE THE BASERS. kthxbye

[Spikester]

Deal with the rules, who cares. If your squad is good enough you will make it to the top.

[JeBu]

well my squad is good enought (if keep this position) but this system isn't correct if it works other way. there is reason why they use head2head > scores in all sports.

[Awesome]

well it's fact that head2head should be before time ratio.

actually that's what is known as opinion, not fact.

+ / - isn't good at all

I'm sorry but what the NFL does has nothing at all to do with what TWL does. I've always said that you can't make the comparison between "pro" sports and trench wars/twl but people still go ahead and compare. if you want to look at it that way, there are other sports that dont use head to head as a tie breaker, in fact i believe most of them dont. And besides, just because NFL makes that mistake, doesn't mean everyone has to.

Simple compromise : use +/- for seatings, but have a play-in game for any teams tied for playoff spot. This could be done during the makeup week 11.

[Awesome]

All of the teams in a conference play all of the other teams in the same conference plus 2 other random ones from the other conference so basically everyone competing for the same playoff spots has a very fair schedule compared to their opponents. So head to head works fine. It isn't based on one bad game but the overall performance of a squad over the whole season. For this reason, it is more fair to have the +/- system. Also, head2head fails when you have a 3 way tie like last year. It's just stupid.

[Underground]

Stop acting nerdish about it... The rules are made, stop talking about it. It seems that you dont have anything else to do.

Close this already!

[Sleepy Weasel]

plus 2 other random ones

And they aren't totally random.
