Overall standings oddity

Frozen Tundra · Post by **Frozen Tundra** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:13 am

I am currently ranked 3rd in my league (NY League 5) yet in the overall standings I am 18 spots behind the team currently ranked 4th in my league.

Assuming the standings are correct, my guess is I'm doing really bad in certain categories so I get a lot less points in the overall standings? How does this work?

There are times during the season where you will be ahead of a team in your league and be behind him in the overall or vice versa. It is just the way the numbers fall, especially if you are severely weak in one or two categories.

In a league you can only fall to 15th in any catgory, falling to 400 is a long drop and hurt more in the overall. This is just one scenario, there are countless others.

I believe it is highly likely that we will someday have an overall champ who did not win their league. I believe and Greg could verify that we have had teams top 5 overall not win their league already.

Thank you. I guess I can't ask for more with a WHIP over 1.5. It's time to go get Doug Fister and Carlos Silva.

I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering the actual finishes right, but if accurate to finish 12th overall and end up with zero dollars.....YIKES!

Tough league!

Glenn [/QUOTE]I don't believe anyone finished that high in the overall and out of the money in their league. The highest ever was Sandi Kleemann, who finished 17th overall in 2006 and fourth in her league. I believe that is still the NFBC record. Sorry Sandi.

I finished 3rd in my league and 12th overall still plenty brutal.
