Four 105-or-more win teams in one division!

ThatSeventiesGuy · 02-13-2015, 11:04 AM

Beats the previous record of three 100+ win teams in one division...anybody ever seen this before?

For those curious, there's only one wild card, which Philadelphia won. And none of those teams won the Super Series, which saw North Pole beat Chicago in six.

Funny how the team with the worst record in is the other division, too.

wow. that's a lot of wins

What is the schedule like?

And what is the playoff structure like - why was there a one game playoff?

ThatSeventiesGuy · 02-16-2015, 03:17 AM

Playoffs feature division winners plus one wild card in the NAL, just the two division winners in the WL. So there was a one game playoff for the division title, with the loser getting the wild card.

As for schedule, it skews toward inter-division play, no interleague. Not sure the exact makeup, I'd have to look it up.

Edit: During the next year, 2042, Motor City, Toronto, and Minnesota all won 100 games again! But I had the last laugh, as my 95-win London Doctors won the Super Series in five games over Minnesota. That was Toronto's first ever playoff appearance since joining the league in the first round of expansion back in 2017 (league started in 2013). They won the first round, but lost in the NALCS in a 7-game heartbreaker after nearly coming back from a 3 games to 1 deficit.

I like the MN MSTies. How's Tom Servo doing?

He didn't play, but Kevin Murphy did...retired a long time ago. I think of all the MST guys, only Mike Nelson and TV's Frank made the HOF, although Joel Hodgson was the MVP in the league's inaugural year, 2013.

It's just a show, we should really just relax.

Yeah that's a weird schedule with lots of out of division games one would presume.

If teams in the 8-team divisions played 12 games against division opponents and teams in the 4-team division played 18 games against division opponents, that leaves 78 games against 12 opponents (6.5 per opponent) for the former and 108 games against 16 opponents (6.75 per opponent) for the latter.
