Teams with more luck will have higher SI totals (and thus higher PI), but toughness is more about how your competitors use their players than just having the players on the team. SI totals (even weighted) are never going to be a perfect measure of team strength. Team composition, lineup synergies, platoon usage, bullpen strategy, management settings; there are a lot of factors in team strength. But never mind all that foolishness I just spouted. I encourage everyone to consider Haverhill to be no threat, and plan around other competition instead I'm super impressed there is a LL-III team below 100. It will be interesting to see how well they fare this season. (Not counting Saco since it was a total rebuild but they do have a winning record in II.1 so far). BTW, II.1 is dragged down by the two tear down (HurDerp temper tantrum) teams in addition to Haverhill, if folks are wondering why the PI for II.1 was so low. |

atomic Joined: 12/05/2012 Posts: 89 Sunnyvale Rebels III.3 | I know it's not really showing toughness, but it's also not showing draft luck. It's just about SI and this can be very misleading. It should be more about how the skill points are distributed. Which combination is more perfect according to match engine? I have at least 3 questionable guys on my roster which have very nice looking SI but in the end they suck at bat... https://brokenbat.org/player/238899 https://brokenbat.org/player/256527 https://brokenbat.org/player/251462 |

Jimmy W Joined: 05/01/2020 Posts: 243 Inactive | Happy New Year guys! Here’s hoping that you and yours have a fab and healthy 2022 Steve is there a way to work out the.basics/formula of the ‘power index’ please? As I’ve tried. Couple of ways and don’t quite ‘get it’? Unless of course that’s by design in which case no worries, I’ll stop wracking my brain - lol! Many thanks for a great distraction from the daily toil and long May BB continue! Cheers Jim 😎 Updated Saturday, January 1 2022 @ 3:32:17 am PST |

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 5023 Administrator | It's a weighted average of the big league players. There are two components - players and pitchers which are added together. Each group is ranked in descending order of SI and multiplied by the following weighting: Pitchers = 1st-3rd *1.0, 4th-5th *0.8, 6th-7th *0.6, 8th-9th *0.4, 10th-11th *0.2 Players = 1st-5th *1.0, 6th-10th *.67, 11th-15th * 0.33. Then the sum is divided by 17 (the sum of all the weighting) -- normalizing the result to the standard SI scale. Steve |
