I agree that making the playoffs are likely one of the main factors for ranking. I believe that the 8 teams who make the playoffs all get the same credit and league finish is secondary, even among those squads. The teams that make the finals get another boost, and the champion gets yet another boost over that. I could be mistaken but thats the feeling I've gotten.

As far as your squad being the 5th best team thats very hard to say, but you're definitely in the mix of teams vying for that in my opinion. Unfortunately the rankings can only be based on results rather than club strength, which varies quickly with training, acquisitions, and game shape.

As for you shooting for the title in season 13, I personally love it when people set high goals (as they should!) because it brings the level of competition up. Higher levels of competition = more fun!! Just so long as you understand I aim to do my best to stop you! That said, best of luck!

Consistency shows up in the rankings and it's rewarded.

I can say with honesty that my team can beat any other one in the EBBL. In fact the did just that over the seasons. The problem is that having a consistent season is incredibly hard. You play a lot with the enthusiasm and when you play away it really hurts.

Swindon, Da Bombs and the Mashers are extremely consistent. I'd say I'm not at that level of consistency, but somehow I managed to climb up in the rankings... In case I'd say I should be 5th!

Hmm, bit of a cup run and suddenly we're 8th and back in the top 800 globally. Pity we've got Swindon away next week :-O

Not giving you ideas, but weren't you claiming you could beat anyone :) This is the right match to make your point :)

Actually, I think I told you recently I couldn't beat Swindon. You'll forgive me if I don't publish the analysis why, I'm sure. I'm planning my scrimmage training minutes already...

I can beat anyone else :-P

EDIT: Oops, no that was dabomby I told. And, actually, it was you saying you could beat anyone, just look back on this thread :-P

I'm rockin it up the world rankings due to the world's easiest series of cup draws ever. I'm down to the last 16 and i haven't faced anyone in the top-70 in the country yet - be jealous! Sadly it looks like the end is nigh, if i beat my Div3 team this week i think i'm out of low hanging fruit!

well, if we're both on a normal.... I guess you're missing Swanwick quite a lot and, erm, your SF can't defend either the outside shot or the inside shot because believe me, my two guys at SF can certainly take either shot :-)

Or we're about to see the mother of all comebacks :-S
