Upper Deck Franchise Rankings

UPPER DECK FRANCHISE RANKINGS

After season 24 this is what my Franchise rankings look like. Here is the detail behind the driving force of these rankings. Winning a world series is the best way to raise your franchise in these rankings as 27% of the weight is placed on post-season points. Winning a world series gets you 30 points, losing the world series gets you 15, losing in the LCS gets you 8, winning your division or simply making it to the 2nd round gets you 4 and losing in the wild card round gets you 2 points. The 2nd biggest factor is your rank is your All-Time W/L record as 23.2% of the weight is attributed to this. 1st place gets you 192 points and each place below 1st drops by 6 points so 2nd would be 186 and so on all the way down to 6 points for last. Individual awards come in next at 9.7%. MVP and Cy Young award winners fetch their team 4 points and Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, ROY and Fireman award winners each get 1 point per award. Next up come the annual rankings in Runs scored, ERA, Fielding % and net Fielding +/- plays. Each of these are worth 7.7%. Each season i ranked the teams from 1-32 in these categories and your statistic for each category is your franchise's average ranking in that category for all seasons combined. 1st place is rewarded with 64 points and each rank below drops down by 2 points so 2nd would be 62 points and last place would get 2 points. So take for example the Sultans have placed an average of 7.08 in  runs for all combined seasons. I then make an aggregate of these 4 categories and proceed to rank them again. This is achieved by summing your teams average place in Runs + ERA + Fielding % + Fielding +/-. I created this aggregate rank to balance out the rankings and rewarding the teams that play the game right. This aggregate ranking also is worth 7.7% in weight and lastly I included the HoF players. I attributed each HoF player to the cap he is wearing in his HoF bust, HoF'ers add 10 points to their respective franchise. I know its not perfect but this was the best way I could think of in creating these rankings. As we add more seasons the points given out will scale to keep the weights as close as we can to keep the balance. If you guys have some feedback I gladly welcome it.

So now that we got that out of the way you can see that the newly relocated Charlotte Pups(Louisville LandSharks) are the top net worth of the world.  They have been to an unprecedented 10 World Series and managed to take home 6 titles, thanks to the G.O.A.T Mr. Nomura.
