All-Star Formulation
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2019 8:44 am
A new formula to determine men's and coed league all-stars has been proposed to help determine 2018 all-stars for 2019. This new formula is based on the equation RUNC (runs created) divided by G (Games Played). The original formula, the one the league has been using since 1999, takes into account R%, RBI%, AVG, SLG, and BB%. Please notice the numbers used for the original formula are percentages and not totals.
The men's and coed lists are typically posted by now. I have yet to post them because I want to hear from league members as to which formula they feel is better suited to indicate all-stars. The last thing I want to do is turn all-stars into non-all-stars and vice versa.
I formulated 4 lists- two each for the men's and coed players with 36 or more at-bats. I formulated 2 lists for each league (men's and coed). One list contains the top 100 using the original formula and the other list contains the top 100 using the RUNC/G formula. 88 players in the men's leagues were on each list. 12 were different. 90 players in the coed leagues were on each list. 10 were different.
Below you will find the names of the different players from each list formulated. Only stats from the 2018 calendar year were used in the formulation.
Men's league players included in Formula 1, but not included in Formula 2.

What I would like 'in-the-know' league members to do is ask themselves which group of men's and coed league players is more indicative of all-star status. Please remain objective. Try not to let the fact that one or more of your teammates may or may not become an all-star affect your decision. If I can compile enough reliable data, league members will make the decision on which formula to use. If I can't compile enough reliable data, we will default to the original formula.
If you don't feel comfortable posting here, feel free to send an email to the league office.
Thank you for your help!
