There's the root of IT team rankings.

ohh golly gee everybody gets points win or lose...( yeah I get it simulates College points but what does it really mean???)

That may or may not be factual because teams may not all play as many games as each other. And it's a guesstimation. That possibly can be controlled by roster changes.

All about the $$$$$$$$$ - always is - not saying the other orgs don't have their issues but on this string it is alliance focused it seems. It seems to be very different based on the region you are in - some seem better run than others, etc etc just like everything else. Track who is running things and you will get a better sense of what is going on - AGL is owned by a former (maybe still current) 'leader' of one of the orgs in one of the regions which has folks on the leadership group of the overall alliance and the regional leadership. All about the $$$$$$$ but we all keep signing and paying it for the events regardless of organizer - not sure the alliance in our area actually has their own events but they seem to piggy back on top of other org events (not PGF) so not sure how that dynamic works but is the way it seems to operate. AGL is another topic but have heard nothing good about it on any front if you talk to an impartial party

knew what it was about, cuz points are not really part of a game. Probably only relative if everybody played the same amount of games?! But you are the math guy would probably know the statistics towards that much better than I.
Thank you for posting it!

Wonder who's on the Seeding Committee?

we played an event the other week that had 20ish teams and only 4 used AGL (and not for all games) so AGL posted a leaderboard the following week with kids from those 4 teams that didn't place in the top 10 so it isn't a great way of doing things - just the way it is. Nice thought but it has gotten little traction over the past few years for many reasons I am sure - including $$$$$$$
