Teams like this (closest power rating)
The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
127 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.

One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team Goon's BBQ has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
