MMDA Champions Expressed As Olympic Medal Winners

The Winter Olympics are going on now, and some people are into that. While I don't particularly care about the outcomes of the various events, the medal-count scoring system seemed like it could have application in the world of the MMDA.

Our World Series champion would obviously be the gold-medal winner for that year, and the runner-up would take silver. As to the bronze, I decided to award that to the round two loser with the higher playoff seeding.

So, for example, the No. 3 Lions lost in the second round last year, falling one win short of the Series. The No. 4 Gators lost in the other LCS bracket, so by virtue of the Lions' higher seeding, they get the bronze for 2013.

Here are the medal counts for the past 10 years of MMDA playoff play. An easy way to think of the columns: Gold signifies a World Series win, silver is a Series loss and bronze is an LCS loss by a high-seeded team that went down in flames when it mattered most.
