2013 Week 3: The Numbers

Numbers Make Their Return

It's time. Three weeks of results are in the books, which always makes me think of crunching some numbers. Same deal as last year. As always, if there is anything else you'd like to see, or if you have any request of historical trends/records, just ask.

Annual Primer:

• the All Play table is sorted by each team's win/loss record if the CKL were set up to play every other team each week. Top is good, bottom is bad. 

• The +/- table is a representation of scheduling "luck". The score is the difference between your team's actual wins and its average wins, based on the  All Play table.The higher your +/- score, the "luckier" you are based on matchups

• The Jenna Von Oÿ table shows the current standings for the last playoff position, which is based on total points scored by the 9 teams not currently in the playoff bracket (essentially, seeds 6 through 14). Lead this table at the end of the year, and you're in the big show.

2013 Week 3 All Play Table

Notes:

• Its not terribly surprising to see Kendall atop this list. Dude owns this league. Highest total points/average, highest high, and highest low. Miguel Cabrera type shit.
• It is rather shocking to see Russell in Riker's chair, though, and only three games back. I have a feeling this is his highest showing ever.
• Eight teams with winning records, only six with losing ones. The Bruisers are the only 2012 playoff team with a current sub-.500 record.
• Kendall is better than anyone is bad. That's just a really awkward way to point out that he has less losses than anyone has wins. Last year at this point, Derrick only had one win. Brutal. Its not much better for him and Alan this year, but at least he's not in the cellar.
• Kurt is the most variable to this point, with a gaudy 38.81 standard deviation. A high of 134.7 and a low of 62.0 will do that to you.
• On the flip-side, Joe is showing unprecedented precision with his weekly totals. All in the range of 2.7 points. Weird. And unsustainable (hopefully).

2013 Week 3 +/-

Notes:

• There usually isn't too much on the extreme side of the luck table this early in the season. Kirk has the clear lead, though, clearly earning a "lucky" win over Alan's dick-after-a-swim-in-the-pool of a performance this week past. No one else has too many bounces, good or bad.
• Its nice to see Joe on the positive side of this table, even by a measly tenth.
• THUNDER BEAR: we're true blue.

2013 Week 3 Jenna Von Oÿ

Notes:

• Ah, Jenna, how we've missed you. This table doesn't include the top five seeds in the current playoff projection bracket (Kendall, Kirk, Russ, Chad, and Nathan).
• Ben, who bedded JVO last year and used the accompanying moxy to earn his first Cup, has the early lead on her again. Clearly she liked what you delivered, Mr. Bledsoe. Did you pee on her back or something!?
• No one is out of it yet, but Rookie, Derrick and Alan better start scoring points and/or winning, or their seasons will be over before they begin.
