Notes
- Semper's first champs in his second playoff appearance scattered over three different stints starting with NLD 6!
- Only the 6th champ for the fourth best record.
- Stoney's 100 wins continued the bad luck for 100 win teams. All three 100 win NLD teams have failed in the playoffs.
- Stoney's other best record team also failed to win it all. However his fourth best rec team *did* win it!
- Quite an accomplishment for Stoney's squad, only the third team to win 100. He fell 5 wins short of Jeep's record 105 wins. Abner also won 100 games way back in NLD 9.
- Stoney and Corky have both made the playoffs in the last two NLDs.
- The record is three straight which Jeep and Silver (NLDs 13-15) and JTJ/WM and Silver (21-23) did.
- Korkie jumped over JTJ/WM for second place in winning pct, but the latter duo moved ahead of Shrink and Big M.
- AT is within one of the second most NLDs (Silver) and Jeep and Hawk, with 25, are tied for fourth with Niners.
- Korkie and Stoney are in a four-way tie for second in percent of playoff appearances (> 5 NLD appearances)
- With one more NLD appearance, GB will jump into second place whether he makes the playoffs or not.
- Jeep has faced his longest NLD playoff drought in the last four NLDs. Big A has a streak of three going.
- Assuming Chase doesn't change his mind, he'll be the only "one and done" NLD player since NLD 1!
- Semper's 4th best record win is the first since NLD 27 when Stoney won it. Semper snapped a two straight best record win
- Second best record still holds a narrow lead (11-10) over the best record.
- Only five teams finished over .500
- 31 wins separated first from last, one of the higher numbers
- Standard deviation was a little above the norm, but not by much.

I wouldn't be so fast assuming 80 mil cap. Don't we usually throw a $100 mil in at some point?

I'll make the change -

Yes, we need to have a vote.

Semper, to answer your question from the other thread, I don't have the divisional placement, just the records from previous NLDs. What you see in the spreadsheet is what I have.

To mix things up just a bit my vote is for $100 mil.

Does this included adding the unleashed cards too?

I'd like to do $100 million this time. Unleashed would be fun, too, I think.

GB, pick 4-5 that you think will be active on the boards and that are commmited to an LD (i.e. they won't miss their pick every round) and invite them. First two check in here get the slots.
