As requested, here is the March Madness like breakdown for the Masters side.

I used runs for and against from the 20 regular season games as well as the 3 pool seeding games. The seed numbers I put below are based on won-loss records of the combined 23 games, and are just for reference.



Below are the win probabilities for Friday's quarterfinals.

1 Steve Tar (66%) vs. 5 Active Green & Ross (34%)
2 State Farm (32%) vs. 4 Parkway Honda (68%)
3 Sylvia Morris (75%) vs. 8 Village Grocer (25%)
6 The School (51%) vs. 7 Paul Love (49%)



Below are the probabilities for the entire tournament.
The first number is the probability of making the final (make it to the final day), and the second number is the probability of winning the title.

1 Steve Tar (38%, 24%)
2 State Farm (11%, 5%)
3 Sylvia Morris (52%, 27%)
4 Parkway Honda (37%, 23%)
5 Active Green & Ross (14%, 6%)
6 The School (19%, 7%)
7 Paul Love (17%, 6%)
8 Village Grocer (12%, 3%)

State Farm only had a 11% of winning. Against all odd they won. The numbers can lie.

Numbers are only probabilities ....... when you play the game the results are evident. Respect to DST and State for the championship wins.

I kept hoping that State Farm would cool off at some point last weekend and they did not appease. All those dinky hits that fell in early in the game were bouncing off of the gloves for the School players. Congrats to both teams.

Only saw the final game, DST were able to go on one of their inevitable runs to put away another trophy, impressive to state the obvious.

Have a great winter all.

The move to ten teams would be a progressive move for all of the Masters league players. I can't think of any negative ramifications.

I am a proponent of protecting some guys and drafting the others this is how we can move forward with 10 teams. I can't wait for 2018, to play and meet new guys.

10 teams may be perceived as aggressive but it can be a reality, lots of older guys are looking to play or expand their ball stats

In a unscientific poll conducted by myself from about July on, with guys from around the league I hear this to be the prevailing thoughts.
Let's expand to ten teams, let's keeps parts of the team together, let's meet new guys and old farts like us should play ball with smiles on our faces.

AGM topics.....

Drain the swamp, increase league fees, repeal the HR rule, fight special rules and change to double headers....

This is why so many people show up at this event.
