How the ranking works

Everything here is computed from the league's ESPN data, back to 2018. It updates every time the site syncs, so the current season counts as soon as each week goes final.

Overall

Half skill, half hardware, out of 100. Skill is career all-play win rate, scaled so the lowest ranked manager gets 0 and the highest gets 50. Hardware is scaled so the most decorated manager gets 50. You need 2 seasons in the league to be ranked.

Skill: all-play

Every regular-season week, each team's score is compared with every other team's, as if you played the whole league. Put up the top score and you go undefeated for the week, no matter who ESPN paired you with. That takes schedule luck out, and because only the order of scores matters, it holds up across seasons even though the scoring settings have changed almost every year. Playoff weeks aren't included, since eliminated teams stop setting lineups.

Hardware

  • Title: 10 points
  • Runner-up: 5
  • Third place: 3
  • Best regular-season record: 2
  • Playoff appearance: 1

Every point is multiplied by that season's ring weight. The current season adds hardware once its final is played.

Ring weight and season health

Not every season was played with the same effort. Season health averages three scores from 0 to 1:

  • Lineup sharpness. Points the league actually scored, against the most it could have scored with the best possible lineups. The season with the smallest gap scores 1; the others are scored against it.
  • Market activity. Waiver and free-agent moves plus trades, each against the busiest season.
  • Full field. The share of teams that were actually managed (see below).

Ring weight is 0.5 + 0.5 × health, so a title is never worth less than half. A title in a healthy season is worth close to the full 10. The lowest so far is 2020: lineups reached 85.1% of the best possible, with 170 moves and 0 trades, and 3 teams went unmanaged. Its title counts 7.8 points.

Unmanaged teams

A team counts as unmanaged for a season when its lineups averaged under 85% of the best possible and it made fewer than 5 roster moves. Nobody gets all-play or Elo credit for beating an unmanaged team, and it lowers that season's full-field score. So far: Free Win in 2021, AntonioBrowntop5? in 2021, Hanging with Hernandez in 2020, Free Win in 2020, Team Karanjikar in 2020, Free Win in 2019, Kirkland Signature in 2018, Team Karanjikar in 2018, Team Imran in 2018.

Elo

A rating for how good a manager is right now, built on the same all-play comparisons. Everyone starts at 1500. Each week you gain for every team you outscore and lose for every team that outscores you, and beating a higher-rated manager is worth more (8 points per comparison at most). Every summer ratings move halfway back to 1500, because rosters reset at the draft. These settings were tuned on another league's seasons and haven't been re-tuned on ours yet. A 100-point gap means about a 64% chance of outscoring someone in a given week. Elo is shown next to the ranking but isn't part of the overall score.
