Blokes' rankings

I had ranked women's teams and national teams, so why not the men's teams?  Here we go:

Rank Team Rank Pts Bouts W L
1 Quad Guards 197.3 9 7 2
2 Southern Discomfort 192.1 8 8 0
3 Rolling Thunder 128.3 2 2 0
4 The Expendables 107.7 8 4 4
5 Tyne & Fear Roller Derby 107.6 9 6 3
6 New Wheeled Order 84.7 12 4 8
7 The Inhuman League 71.1 11 3 8
8 Crash Test Brummies 59.4 6 0 6
9 The Jakey Bites 20.3 3 0 3

So, the MERDC contributed the majority of bouts to the ranking, and I added the Quad Guards in just to make sure we could feature a larger number of bouts.  Turns out, the championships were an upset!  Who knew!

There are 34 bouts in the system, 5 are upsets.  That's 15%, and a darn good upset rate.  Otherwise, now I know just how exciting the Lincolnshire Rolling Thunder can be!


Alright, so now we've got three derby charts: UK & Ireland women, nations, and UK & France men.  Keep in mind, the Rank Pts mean different things in each table.  They cannot be compared one-to-one between different tables.

Explanation of calculations here.

Roll on!

  1. This could be very interesting once NYSE play NWO and SDRD.

    1. Yes, of course. Here's an explanation I tried to make as brief as possible: http://derbyladder.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/how-it-works-with-as-little-maths-as.html
