No way Colorado is a tier three team!

[Schaefling]

I guess you have to call this a rant because I strongly believe that Colorado is not a tier 3 team. In fact, based on its revenue I think it should be a tier 1 team!

I am managing Colorado in a public league and admittedly no longer have much human competition in this league but in any event I am way way ahead in mogul points.

The reason I think this is important is because Colorado receives twice as many mogul points as tier 1 teams and this really distorts the heck out of the ranking system.

So do you agree or disagree?

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Colorado was Tier 2 and San Fran was Tier 3. When they changed the Tiers they made Colorado Tier 3 and San Fran Tier 2.

In the two leagues that I played in over four years, the two Colorado teams average 585 and 670 revenue. The two San Fran teams averaged 481 and 585 . The Colorado teams drew 3.4 and 3.5 million. The San Fran teams drew 2.8 and 3.0 million.

I know that a more complete study was done of all of the teams before they switched the tiers. However, there is just no way that if the Tiers are based upon revenue generation that Colorado should be Tier 3.

I agree, San Francisco should be Tier 3 and Colorado Tier 2. Or they should both be Tier 3, Colorado's revenue can drop significantly if they endure a lot of losing seasons.

At normal revenue levels COL is probably a Tier 3 team. But when the game starts in 2001 their fan loyalty is very high. Thus the inflated numbers people see. Suffer through 3 or four losing seasons though and those fans will drift away.
