Identity model

Members are not team names

Member careers, season entries, and historical team names are kept separate. Two teams can share a display name without becoming the same identity.

Ownership model

Complete snapshots, recorded players

Route model

Stable manager and player pages

Each member and player keeps one consistent route across seasons, matchups, drafts, and roster history.

Analytics methods

Formula definitions and limits

Every leaderboard keeps its population, denominator, scope, and hindsight limits visible.

Schedule luck

Actual regular-season wins minus expected wins from weekly all-play results against every other team. Positive means the real schedule produced more wins than the scoring profile.

All-play win rate

For each regular-season week, a team receives one win per league score it beats and half a win per tie, divided by all available weekly opponents.

Lineup capture rate

Regular-season starter points divided by the hindsight-optimal legal lineup from that recorded active roster, using the exact 2QB and season-specific flex rules. Reserve-list players are excluded.

Lineup regret

Hindsight-optimal points minus actual starter points. A historical roster snapshot cannot prove every alternative was switchable before kickoff, so this measures captured scoring ceiling—not decision quality or causation.

Scoring volatility

Population standard deviation of regular-season weekly points. Lower values mean steadier scores; higher values mean wider week-to-week swings.

Ownership records

Team-weeks, starts, points, and continuous spells come from normalized weekly rosters. Empty lineup slots count toward coverage but never become invented player records.

Transaction classes

Lineup log entries are separated from roster-market action groups. Adds, drops, trades, commissioner actions, and veto activity retain their observed transaction-log meanings without double-counting multi-leg moves.

Ranking thresholds

Career lineup and volatility awards require at least 50 evaluated team-weeks. Shorter careers remain visible but are not forced into misleading qualified ranks.
