SHORTSVILLE SMOKERS ahead in 100% of their meetings
SHORTSVILLE SMOKERS has come out ahead in 3 of their 3 shared contests.
A tougher draw than 86% of rated fields
The fields they enter average a 1616 power rating — a tougher draw than 86% of every rated contest in the data.
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.
HAUSRATH BBQ has 3 rated contests — short of the five it takes to earn a power ranking — so this rating has barely moved off the 1500 every team starts on and 146 rated teams sit within a point of it. Read the list as the nearest company at a number nobody here has moved far from, not as a verdict on who this team belongs with.
They've been 1505 at their best, 30 points above where they sit today — they're arriving at this rating from above.
