A tougher draw than 80% of rated fields
The fields they enter average a 1604 power rating — a tougher draw than 80% of every rated contest in the data.
Their overall lands within ±2.30% of a perfect score of their own average — whatever the field, you know roughly what they'll turn in.
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.
163 rated teams sit within a point of this rating, so a place on this list means the numbers match — no more than that.
Fewer contests behind them than PLUMP RUMP BBQ has cooked, 5 to 8, which makes theirs the less settled rating of the two.
