Re(1): M.C. this week... Posted on November 27, 2023 at 03:43:30 PM by Craig G
I have not been following MC this season, so speaking from a position of great ignorance.
However, one thing I can say, right off the bat, is that there is a major defect in the doubles game presentation in the MC pdf program pages. Specifically, the team stats are completely MIA. Normally, if you don't have your own computer program or a spreadsheet system, you would rely on looking in the program to see AT A GLANCE just how the teams stack up based on their season records. At MC, no can do.
I asked Stu about this once in the chat, and he had a reason why their software can't generate it. So it is not intentional. But, think about it. Jai-alai frontons with doubles games were providing team stats for decades. And here, the doubles games are an integral part of the Jai-5, not to mention the Mighty Ocho. To not provide team stats gives a big and unfair edge to those computer guys.
It's strange because in most cases MC goes above and beyond, but here we have a big FAIL.
(And let's not forget, the team stats on their own are just bare bones. If a team gets all their wins in the low posts and flops badly in 5-6-7, you'll never know it. And - if for whatever reason, the posts were assigned unequally over the season, same thing)
As I said, I am not following ATM, but looking at the Mo Crank stats, it looks like we can construct the team records by putting together the figures for the 3 tournament sessions.
So it appears that even though Jairo-Ben are not a tournament team in this phase, they are still playing here and there, and are obviously the better 17-wins-havin'-team by far.
