If you'd like to see your favorite league ranked each week during the season, either reply to this thread (as a vote) or send me an email with your vote at BradleyTerryFootballRankings@gmail.com

I vote to see them. I always enjoyed your rankings, even on the leagues (like NIFL) that made rankings difficult.

If you don't let the people with the money know you prefer the NIFL game system, you won't see any stable leagues copying the NIFL game system for your enjoyment!

Have you noticed yet that you are the ONLY person on this board clamboring for such a change?

However, FWIW, I do like reading CoS's power ratings.

I think most of the people that post on these boards have a league employment affiliation and therefore an agenda to promote only their own league.

[ChampionOfSteel]

The vote wasn't for doing them all vs. none. Rather I was asking for a tally of which league you want to see the most. I was planning on doing just one or two arena/indoor leagues this year. Please do not vote for AFL/AF2. Heeheheheheheheheehe. I wanna do Lois.

I enjoyed the IFL rankings last season. Please do them again this year.

Then, as always, you're wasting your time here.

I failed to follow my own advice.

Don't feed the troll.

I only promote and follow my team if the play in X league then so be it, as long as my team plays all of their games against real teams and not fill in's then I'd say enough said about said league!!

How do you figure?

Never know about the power of one person, and I don't necessarily mean myself. Even if there's as few as 1/3 of the people that are not affiliated with a team that visit here and see the message, maybe through a chance encounter afterward with the right person at the right moment we can get a system that people can truly love and enjoy, and not be tricked by the loud music and fanfare between plays and eliminate the inherent bordom that soon follows when the ball gets snapped from a poor game system choice that got second billing.

I watched the Marshals play once at Hara. The game system was great to see. The music could have been turned off and the excitement would have still been there.

The truth shall set you free.

It's not enough to have every team in the league be solvent. The game system must be entertaining or I'll go to the cinema or baseball for my entertainment.

Don't let these folks that run their leagues, half-@$$ their product like the automobile folks at Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, etc., do when they basically say their product should be good enough. Make them present something that will last. Don't be fooled by flashy commercials. Make them refine their fundamental product with the goal of perfection.

I'd like to see them all, but if you want me to rank which ones I want to see the most then here you go:

1. AF2 (even though you said not to vote for them...but it's a big league where a lot of teams don't play each other and your rankings probably matter in that league more than the others)

2. CIFL (UIFA and Intense are fairly straight forward with each team playing the other moreso than the CIFL and AIFA, therefore I feel your rankings are more needed here)

3. AIFA

4. Intense

5. UIFA

6. APFL (Koyotes are number one until they lose in title game or are prevented from interfering with the other team competing, so rankings in this league really don't matter as much as the other leagues...plus half or more of the league is full blown semi-pro anyway, nothing against semi-pro itself, just pro leagues with semi-pro teams in them)

Once again, great job on the Bradley/Terry rankings, I find them to be more accurate than anything out there.

NIFL, because they have the best game system.

[ChampionOfSteel]

... the AIFA

http://www.geocities.com/bradleyterryfootballrankings/aifa.html

I picked the AIFA because that league has an entertaining game system (not the best but almost the best) and they meet the requirement of having one or more teams in the state of Florida.

Here's how the leagues graded out:

APFL -- never heard of that league. I think someone is joking with me.

AFL -- Boring game system.

AF2 -- Boring game system. 1 vote

AIFA -- Pretty decent and entertaining game system with a running attack; has a team in Florida.

CIFL -- Decent running attack game system mixed in with the pass. Problem is the final scores are lopsided which makes their game system lousy. No team in Florida. 1 vote

IFL -- Excellent game system. 1 vote. No teams in Florida.

NIFL -- Excellent game system. Nothing more than a fantasy league at this point so there's nothing to rank.

UIF -- Excellent game system. -no votes- No teams in Florida.

The Bradley Terry party casted all of their votes to the AIFA, after tallying the populace votes (which had a lousy turnout at both precincts - here and by way of email).

Thanks to all of you that responded and for doing your democratic duty.

You have a UIF logo for your avatar and you want the CIFL?

I'm not joking, although many consider the league a joke: http://www.apflfootball.com/

Looking at their lack of recent updates to their web pages -- postponed games listed, unbalanced schedule with one team playing three games while everyone else has at least 8 games, I'd say they look like the 2006 small league version of the NIFL.

I enjoy all the different ratings out there. They're all fun to look at.
