All Time Great Team Competition Update

We're through season 20 and the race at the top is a toss up! Mike S's Lusitania Deathspeakers (ATB XII) hold a narrow lead over Lou P's Manetheren Red Eagles (ATB IX). After 99,200 total games played, these to teams have emerged as the two likeliest squads to win the crown for best team in ATB history (or at least since I have kept records anyway.)

Full details can be found in three files. The first offers a summary of the team results, including the standings, Runs Scored and Against, along with the full playoff results. The second contains a zip file of the html league reports we're all accustomed too, and the third is the result of a nifty macro a DMB user created, that exports team seasonal data into an excel worksheet.

While not an official portion of the competition, it is interesting to see average wins per owners, for those that have multiple squads in the competition. Looking only at the top 2 teams per owner:

87 - Steve C

86 - Lou P

86 - Justin P

85 - Mike S

78 - Brad P

74 - Sean S

73 - Jason B

70 - Jeff B

And looking at those with at least three teams (top 3 only):

85 - Justin P

83 - Lou P

83 - Mike S

77 - Brad B

72 - Jason B

And three owners have 5 teams:

83 - Justin P

80 -Lou P

79 - Mike S

While Justin isn't winning the competition per say, he does currently have the "Honorable Mention" award for overall best owner.
