Perhaps this kind of thread is better suited for over there. Those folks are never, ever going to play Pro "fooball" .
C/R seems to deal primarily with past , present, and future racers.Just look at the stands at Divisionals.
Also, we've been told lately that you can't lower the indexes any more.It hurts the beginners.
Well, if they're racing now, don't they have an equal chance of winning?
(hope we get to see some live timing soon ;-) )

I look at it this way:
If you're entered in an event and don't see your name on this list and it "offends" you or "upsets" you then perhaps you're in the wrong sport. I've never won a national meet or a divisional meet yet...so I don't expect my name to show up on here anytime soon!
These "Power Rankings" and "win probabilities" are supposed to be based off of the data DragInsights has collected and nothing more. These are meant to be fun...not a "surefire" deal. This sort of stuff is nothing more than someone showing an extra amount of interest in the sportsman side of things and actually trying to use some data as a predictive analysis.
I don't think there has ever been a competitive person or team who saw the "odds" and said "well, I'm just going to pack it in." The truly competitive person would see something like this and say "watch this" as they go out and try to prove it wrong. Think your name should be on here and it isn't? Great! Go out and "put up or shut up!"
But I guess maybe I'm just a keyboard warrior
