Click HERE for a link to the shared google sheets document with the Round 1 standings. My Excel spreadsheet will update the standings whenever I open it, but I have to manually upload the spreadsheet to my google drive, so it may not always be up-to-date, but I will try my best to update this regularly.

Let me know if you see any issues.

It says I don't have access to the link

OK, I had to go into a seperate section to share it. Should be good now.

Well it’s all downhill from here I suppose

You may have noticed that I added the data analysis I posted earlier on the 70M, 80M & 100M leagues. I will eventually this for the 110M, 120M & 140M.

I think the "Last Updated" timestamp is off — looks like it's just pulling in whatever time it is when I open the sheet each time, rather than the last time the data was updated

Thanks. I will simply turn that field from a formula to a value each time I post.

Just added the 110M Data tab.

Added the 120M tab.

Added thr 140M tab... Clearly, Tris Speaker was a good choice. Yet, somehow, my Speaker team is 5 games below .500.

It's crazy that as of now, a couple teams ranked in the 60s have more playoff teams than several owners in the cage.

10 owners put up 90+ wins in the first 162 game period. So far in the second, 11 owners have 90+, with 9 more still in position to join them.

The difference between 1st and 25th is only 25 points at the 1/3rd mark.

Compared to past years I've participated, this year I've consistently been feeling like there is more parity and that my place in the standings is less firm as a result. More specifically, I've been feeling like that 25 point distance between 25th and the top is smaller than in past years.

But is that actually reality, or am I just paranoid due to my 4 year layoff?

A 25 win difference now equates to a 75 win difference between 1st and 25th at the end of the season. Here's how other years stack up:

• 80 wins in 2021
• 52 wins in 2020
• 45 wins in 2019
• 90 wins in 2018

So, in reality, this year is on pace to be right in the middle.

This is interesting to me. I think part of the feeling is my layoff, yes, but also part of it I think is related to the themes this year. In general there are more similar rosters than usual (either by design like in the 120M and arguably the 70M and 110M, or in practice like the 140M). As a result, a good place in the standings feels less secure since the leagues are more likely to feature streaky outcomes. So a 25 point lead in the overall standings feels smaller than usual.

That's neither good nor bad, it just is. I have a feeling things will get chaotic down the stretch for an unlucky few.
