MMDA Manager Register After 2020 Season

This post includes a complete statistical record for MMDA managers going back to 1995.

Managers are ranked by Fibonacci win points. This concept was introduced by Bill James in his book Whatever Happened To The Hall Of Fame? It balances teams' win totals with their winning percentage to arrive at one pleasing number.

Key to categories: 90W and 100W are 90-win and 100-win seasons. DIV stands for division titles and POST for postseason appearances. FIB is Fibonacci win points.

MMDA Team Report Cards For 2020

Context is so important to analysis. 

Numbers take on new meaning when presented in such a way that they can be interpreted quickly and accurately. Toward that end, I created a league report card that grades each MMDA team in terms of its proficiency across basic categories of component performance.

Grades were determined by standard deviation Z-scoring and then mapping those scores to the familiar report card grading tiers of A, B, C, D and F. A true grade point average could be developed by weighting each of the categories based on significance, but I elected to keep things simple for the first draft.

The TOTAL column places the same weight on each category, i.e. it's an average, and is more of a sorting tool than accurate portrayal of overall quality.
