50 league results for 2013 and it is Jan 9th.   :-o :-o

there were 35 results for 2012 in the G40 league.  I think it is fair to say things are heating up.

Also, there were 93 results in the 2012 AA50 league.  a renaissance in axis and allies or a mere speed bump…?  time will tell.

Gamerman, are you tracking the bids and winners?

I would if the allies or axis are carrying the day so far and what the average bid is.

I’m not tracking that for G40 yet.

My personal opinion is that most players don’t really know what they’re doing yet, so I don’t think it would be helpful.

I’m also curious though.

This one’s worth a look.  Karl changed to tier 1, so standings are shook up

Not counting Jeff over Noll
Sorry, but an AWOL after only doing a Russia1 does not count as a victory in my book.
Will count for league standings probably, but not here.
I need to talk to Jennifer about minimum game lengths for forfeits.

Oh, and I wish you all the best with having the new baby, Jeff!

I am sure this has been explained, but what is the difference between you rankings and the rankings that will determine the playoffs?  :-D

go to the beginning of this thread and read up on it karl…  gamer’s rankings are for interest only.  they have no bearing on playoffs.

you have more important things to worry about, like the fact that you are losing india this round.

losing India is always a downer…  :-(  Hopefully San Francisco will win today and I’ll feel better  :lol:

Did that answer your question?

Look at the league rules for exactly how the playoffs are determined.
My results spreadsheet is mainly just to provide us all with current results since the mods rarely report the standings.  Since I’m tracking all this data, I just go one step farther and do a rough point system based on strength of schedule and equalized for # of games played.

This way, you can compare yourself to players who’ve played a lot more or a lot less games than you.  Look at the players near you in the standings.  For you, Karl, currently that’s Ziggurat and Jeff28.  Play one of those guys for a heck of a good matchup!

Yeah, this just provides a lot of useful data that we otherwise would not have.  Like who’s played who and who won, all up to date and accurate.  At your service!  :-)

So, if you want to see the league standings, just sort my spreadsheet by WIN % and pay attention to the minimum # games played requirement (what is it, 8?)

I sort them by PPG because it’s like my “Power Rankings” just like the sportswriters do.  Sportswriters “power rankings” do not have any effect on who actually goes to the playoffs, of course.  That is according to league rules.  Same thing here!

That reminds me…. TheDesertJournalist had this really cool idea about if someone would be a “reporter” and watch a lot of the league games and write about them like a reporter - to alert players to compelling games or situations.

For example,
Boldfresh boldly crushes India!
With 20 infantry and tanks that seemed innumerable, the Japanese army descended on the fortresses of India last night, certainly changing the tides of the war.  Or did it?  Tokyo itself is staring at 3 battleships, 4 loaded carriers, and a host of smaller ships based in the Aleutians, threatening to strike a death blow to the Evil Empire…

There would of course need to be certain controls in place to ensure objective, fun reporting that doesn’t step on anyone’s toes.  I suggested that each article be submitted to the players for approval before publishing.

I think the main obstacle is getting somebody to be the reporter.  Anyway, you guys just made me think of that idea I saw a while back.  Props to TDJ
