Roger (Pekin) Apr 20

We have never won the Shield. This would be Colin’s first title as well, so we’re expecting only the top lines all around!

Kevin (New Orleans) Apr 20

Best of luck, Colin!

Kevin (New Orleans) Apr 20

Pretty balanced match-up. This will be a good one.

Jason (Spokane) Apr 25

Let’s not get too excited. Ames best 7 are not very good.

Notes
This shows a preview based on your Top 7 players. Your top 7 players (and your opponents) may not be playing. The effective overall and effective grades INCLUDE BOTH FIT and HOME COURT additions.

This is a basic prediction and does not mean you will win if you get the prediction checkmark. In fact, you will likely lose. This is a simple totaling of the checkmarks where we double the count for OH and MB since you have two of those on the floor versus the other positions.

We are interested in adding to this concept though like using a Top-14 where we double the weight for the starter but add the numbers for the backups as they will play in a session too. Thoughts or ideas?

ELO
For ELO, 145 Rating points are added to the home team's ELO rating to determine the chance of winning.
