Yeah…technically the season has started…but the Week 1 Games are not final yet…so the Pre-Season moniker will ride…I am not certain this will end up being a weekly item…so expect Episode Numbering again as opposed to Weeks….but I am getting everything prepared to ATTEMPT it….this is just some stuff to put out there from updating my database today thru the 2018 Season…and making room for the new team…
Team of the Week
6 different teams managed to secure a Team of the Week award in the 2018 season…and 1 team managed to grab 6 of them…Bay Area Thrashers came 1 award short of tying the record of 7 in a Season set by Hurricanes in 2016…but it was good enough for them to raise their Career Total to 35 and move them ahead of Bubba Army (32) to the most Team of the Week awards ever won by a Franchise…Hurricanes did manage to secure 2 of the awards bringing their Career Total to 26…and maintaining the highest Career Champ Percentage with an 18.18% rate from All Regular Season Games played…Playground Legends ends their TBFL Legacy with 17 total TOTW awards…and a Champ Rate still higher than 4 remaining franchises…
We start the 2019 Season with Gorilla Warfare on the longest TOTW drought dating back 60 Games to 2014 | Week 05 for their last award…followed by Bubba Army (2016 | Week 04) at 35 Games…and Money Inc (2017 | Week 03) at 23 Games…
Chump of the Week
Playground Legends finished out their TBFL history with Back-2-Back Chump Scores (and my apologies if I start using terminology that the new Owner does not know yet…but I think that one is self explanatory…maybe I’ll build a glossary page)…but that still only left them with a Career Total of 15 against their 209 Regular Season Games played for the 3rd lowest Chump Rate in the TBFL at 7.18%…Only 4 teams managed avoid a Chump Score in 2018 (BAT|HUR|RNT|WAR)…Fudgie Whales led all teams in 2018 with 3 Chump Scores…followed by Gorilla Warfare with 2…but both still managed to make the 2018 TBFL Playoffs…UO Grandmasters earned their 1st Chump Score in over 23 Games in Week 11 to move out of a tie with Warriors to claim the Most Career Chump Scores at 25…Shawn and the Runs N Throses crew managed to avoid the award and remain the only team in Single Digits with the ridiculously low Career Chump Rate of only 3.45%…
2019 sees Bay Area Thrashers on the longest streak avoiding a COTW award at 30 Games after winning them Back-2-Back in 2016 | Weeks 08 & 09…followed by Runs N Throses at 24 Games (2017 | Week 02)…and Warriors at 14 Games (2017 | Week 12)…
2018 saw both X-Factor (80.15 Wk03 | 163.40 Wk04) and Fudgie Whales (87.45 Wk05 | 159.07 Wk06) manage to follow up a Chump Score with a TOTW score the following week…
Week 8 featured a TOTW vs COTW battle between Bay Area Thrashers (150.05) and Husslers (80.20)…while Week 9 featured the closest Elvis Game in TBFL History between Bay Area Thrashers (160.85) vs UO Grandmasters (160.80)…
Current Streaks
Here are the current Regular Season Win Streaks as we enter the 2019 Season…X-Factor and Gorilla Warfare swept their Week 10 opponents and their Division Gauntlets to lead at 4 Wins each…while Money Inc ended the year tied for their worst ever Single Season loss streak at 7…1 loss away from tying their worst ever 8 Game loss streak over multiple seasons…
And finally…here are the charts with Last Division Championship Won…and last Playoff Game Won for each Franchise…
