Club rankings for the 03/04 season

Unlike my previous rankings for national teams, I decided to level the playing field this time. Every sport starts at a baseline of 32 points, regardless of how many clubs actually show up to play. So, for instance, the champions in both basketball and water polo get the same 32 points, even though there were 24 clubs in the hoops tournament and only 16 in the water polo one. On the old chart, the water polo champ would’ve only grabbed 16 while the basketball winner took 24.

Man, get off my back about the other sports—it’s not that deep. Would it actually kill you to move this over to the football section where most of the traffic is anyway?

What'd you say?.....

Once again, it's just a sea of men—where did all the women go?

fortaleza said:Look, just get off this forum already. Everyone else is over in the sports section anyway. It’s not like anyone’s going to die if you just move this over to the football threads where the actual traffic is.

If we’re following that logic, you might as well have posted it in the Politics section. I hear the views are even higher over there... if you can stomach them.🙄>
