Don't you need to include all of them to make such a claim? Drafts have been going a lot longer than you have...

OK, so I've used some poetic licence.

However, of the number of drafts that I have been able to track down in recent years (46 since 2009), Blakus and Pothas seem to be the most successful - mainly because their teams are typically excellent.

Feel free to gather some pre-2009 stats.

Congrats Watson.

What's so honest about you?

Had a look at that thread and 14 Rounds of 3 Tests each, all Sim'd is awesome. However, I would imagine that the work required to get all those results is too much for most people.

I can see a voting thread to select the top 4 strongest teams, then followed by semis and a final which are sim'd. That's do-able I reckon. Happy to do that if someone points out a good worthwhile sim programme.
