The power rankings I use here are a simple application of the rotisserie scoring rules used by many leagues. The team ranked first in a scoring category receives 10 points, the second-place team gets nine points, and so forth down to last place, which gets a single point. Ties split the points between them. I import the weekly stats into a spreadsheet which kicks out a bunch of numbers and graphs. Here are the numbers for week 1, along with the hitting/pitching breakdown after each total score.
Power Rankings
- Coney Island Cyclones 82.0 (42.0/40.0)
- Kennewick Knights 67.5 (30.5/37.0)
- Springfield Isotopes 62.0 (35.5/26.5)
- Mexican Hat Holey Sox 61.0 (26.0/35.0)
- Monterey Sea Otters 55.5 (30.0/25.5)
- Hobbiton Halflings 53.0 (11.5/41.5)
- Kansas City League Minimums 46.0 (28.0/18.0)
- Hood River Mountain Goats 45.5 (19.0/26.5)
- Utah Liquor Laws 45.0 (28.5/16.5)
- Chicago Comets 32.5 (24.0/8.5)
Here are the rankings in each category in a colorful table that I call the Power Grid.

And here is a link to a graph of the power rankings by week, which should be a lot more valuable when we have a few weeks under our belt. If you can think of any other stats you’d like to see, please let me know because I can probably figure a way to squeeze them out of the spreadsheet.
