June 24, 200422 yr I went on a system of 50% of overall numbers for home attendane and % of seats filled. Either one is flawed in judging because boston does not have numbers but has The %'s while a team that has a huge stadium that only gets 40 will still get shafted because their percentage is lower than a team with smaller stadium who fill up the same amount of people. So in those cases % does not work. So I combined them and of course Boston still gets shafted but regardless. Oh and if their were ties in the way I did it, I went on % of seats filled to break the tie... 1. Cubs 2. Phillies 3. Angels 4. Giants 5. Yanks 6. Red Sox 7. Houston 8. Dodgers 9. Padres 10. Cardinals 11. Mariners 12. DBacks 13. O's 14. The Rangers 15. Reds 16. Rocks 17. Braves 18. Marlins 19. A's 20. Royals 21. Mets 22. White Sox 23. Tiggers 24. Brewers 25. Pirates 26. Twins 27. Indians 28. Blue Jays 29. Devil Rays 30. Suprise here... Spo's
June 24, 200422 yr gee, i wonder if any particular team gets oddly bumped up 2 spots when average and pct are combined...
June 24, 200422 yr Author gee, i wonder if any particular team gets oddly bumped up 2 spots when average and pct are combined... Yes that's exactly it. I'll even go on A Phils example, last year when they had the vet if you went on % they would get robbed because you can't fill a 60,000+ stadium while a team with a smaller attendance number but say 40,000 seats would beat out on % not because their's a bigger demand but because of more seats that they can't fill they lose out. On overall numbers places like Chicago or Boston could get more people seats if they had a bigger stadium but don't. Either way you go teams get screwed. The cubs at #1 is the easiest to call because not only do they have a huge % and attendance figures. Top 5 attendance numbers in people in the seats Yanks Ang LA Phi Chi Chi would have gotten screwed while teams that are filling up only 80% have two in the top three. % Bos Chi SF Phi Houston Now three of the teams above miss the top 5 in this due to % but their are still teams in the lower rankings getting robbed. If you can think of a better system, tell
June 24, 200422 yr Author The Sox sell out almost every game but only seat about 39,000 I know The Sox get screwed but after that I think the ranking system is fine.
