I've Made the Playoffs With 25 0f My Last 28 Teams..

ATG9
Playoff rate: .62
Champ rate: .12. (my championship pool is scant!)

Reg Season Win Rate: .547
Playoff Win Rate: .462

Just making conversation.
Those that are above expectation on both playoff rate and titles are rare folks, and I will concede--my previous bloviating aside(!), it can be as reliable an indicator of skill as playoff rate for those with a lot of teams such that the sample is pretty large. Nev's prior championship rate and playoff win pct were always higher than expectation, so I could see the reason for the angst.

Umm...so...seems like an anomaly unless we say his prior 400+ titles were mostly luck

Was up two games to none in my latest Finals, now dropped three straight.

And down 0-2 in my other Finals too. Time to find a new hobby.

I dont trust the pharmaceutical industry. But whats the alternative? Let Covid run rampant through the population? I'll be taking the vaccine unless some negative info comes out.

As long as everyone gets to make their own decision I'm good. My wife and I both had the virus at the outset, and we would treat this like any vaccination--weigh the risk of inaction vs action. Similar to measles, which depended on exposure.

It seems more important to allow it to go to those first at most risk who have not been exposed yet. those over 60 years old, comorbs, health care, education, 1st responders that get spit on, etc.

I say this because I hope djmacb and Chompsky are both healthy and everyone else here as well. Whatever your choices, this is a great community and I do hope everyone is back full strength soon.

Alright now, as one of the SOM online grandmasters, maybe you are being dramatic . Make sure we hear about it if you come back to win too!

I'll be happy to.

After winning first two games did drop 4 in row.

nev,
Your playoff run is really unbelievably bad. What in the world did you do to earn perpetual torture from the Strat Gods?

That's easy ... He won 428 rings and walked away from the game.

I'm several short of 428...
