For your consideration concerning the CPL ballot’s due tomorrow, Tom Cat’s releases their proprietary leader board for Fantasy WAR.
This is not a perfect process, and some of the details presented may seem odd as a result, but throughout the development of the many tools that went into this leader board, this is the first time the Tom Cat’s R&D team was able to present this information in such a fashion and the timing seemed too perfect to pass up despite the potential for errors.
These numbers are based off of the stats accumulated in Head-to-Head play boxscores in the CPL through 09/09/2022.
We will be happy to take any and all questions if you should feel inclined to ask.
Thank you for your time.
