ATG Competion Compete!

It's been a long journey but we finally have crowned a champion to the ATG competition, though narrowly. The 1909 Manetheren Red Eagles are the best team we've seen in ATB history. Owned by yours truly, they took advantage of the new rules introduced that year, allowing the greats of the 1800s into the game.

The result was the best offense we've seen. In 100 seasons they scored 900 runs eighteen times; all other teams combined to do it once in 249,900 games. Incredible.

The Red Eagles had the most regular season wins, weighted overall wins (includes post season prowess), the best RD, and was tied for first in 'league bests'.

Close behind the Red Eagles were the Lusitania Death Speakers (50 weighted games back and 41 regular season games back) just 1/2 game back on average. In third place, the Pangea T-Rex's of ATB X won the most word series titles at 23.

Finally, we give some additional props to Justin P. He currently leads all owners in real life ATB wins and we now know why. He fielded two top-five and four top-10 teams in the competition (3rd, 5th, 9th, and 10th). That's twice as many as Lou (1st and 8th) and Steve C (4th and 6th).
