Subject: [USML Announce] USML Trivia - Part II

Given the unbelievable reception to the first round of USML trivia, I really felt like round II was command performance.  So here goes:

1.     Total Points

Total Points

1989        72.0                Block?s Bombers (11)
1990        55.0                Berliners (10)
1991        67.5                Klein Nine (10)
1992        74.0                Berliners (10)(92.5%)
1993        74.0                Block?s Bombers (10)(92.5%)
1994        62.0                Klein Nine (10)
1995        61.5                Red Hots (10)
1996        71.5                Berliners (10)
1997        77.5                Riptorns (11)
1998        84.0                Riptorns (11)(95.4%)
1999        76.0                Riptorns (11)
2000        62.0                Riptorns (9)
2001        67.0                Nukes (9)(93.0%)
2002        90.5                Riptorns (10)(5x5)(90.5%)
2003        89.0                Berliners (10)(5x5)
2004        101.0              Nukes (11)(5x5)(91.8%)
2005        93.5                Hoosier (11)(5x5)
2006        102.0              Nukes (11)(5x5)(92.7%)
2007        93.5                Berliners (11)(5x5)

The Nukes campaigns of 2004 of 2006 were pretty damned impressive and unmatched in USML history for total points.  But from a percentage basis, nothing can top the Riptorn campaign of 1998, where they garnered an astonishing 95.4% of the potential points.  

There have been 7 winners who finished with more than 90% of the possible points:

7.     Riptorns 2002 - 90.5%
6.     Nukes 2004 - 91.8%
4.     Win-Ick Ben Ein Berliners 1992 - 92.5%
4.     Block's Bombers 1993 - 92.5%
3.     Nukes 2006 - 92.7%
2.     Nukes 2001 - 93%
1.     Riptorns 1998 - 95.4%

2.  WHAT CATEGORIES DO THE WINNERS WIN?

4.     ERA (7/19) - 37%
4.     Batting Average (7/19) - 37%
2.     Saves (9/19) - 47%
2.     RBI (9/19) - 47%
1.     Home Runs (11/19) - 58%

3.  WHAT CATEGORIES DO THE WINNERS RARELY WIN?

5.     Runs (2/6) - 33%
4.     Ratio (6/19) - 32%
3.     Strikeouts (1/6) - 17%
1.     Wins (3/19) - 16%
1.     Stolen Bases (3/19) - 16%

More to follow....
