Another year, another title goes to Tim. Title Tim as the Division is now known. 10 seasons, 8 titles. And this year it’s a second title for Chris Braithwaite and Dyna Hard, who knocked off David Slater’s Dynasore Losers by 65 points. The 4th closest final was pretty much done and dusted after a 55 point victory in the first leg and then put their feet up for the second. Hard’s 392.645 is the 8th highest winning score. Pitiful really, but that’s all that was needed to knock off the challenge from Peter.
To join Chris in celebrating the victory is Buffalo Bills’ interception hero and LA Rams super bowl winning safety, Taylor Rapp…
It’s the middle of the season, so what better time to look back at championships past and see if there’s anything remotely interesting from a statistical point of view. And failing that, find some boring things from a statistical point of view to share.
We’ve all seen the records, of course, so there’s no need to regurgitate the results. Instead, let’s look at different numbers. Like, do teams score more points in the final now?
Errr…. No…
Teams that win the final are scoring less, while teams that lose the final are scoring… incredibly consistently (if we ignore the Brees in 2014). It’s good news for excitement – there’s only been one comeback victory (Dyna Hard, 2017) but at least there are closer matches. The second legs of the last three finals – 2020-2022 – have all been won by the team that lost the first leg, after both legs were won by the same team in five of the first 6 finals.
But how about the split of total points across the two legs?
Only two of the nine finals have had more points scored in the first leg than the second. Rather than getting used to each other and neutralising each others attacks, it seems that familiarity breeds explosive offense and an eye for the opponents defensive weaknesses. Or maybe that was a conclusion we could draw if these were actual teams actually facing each other, rather than random players unaware of the importance of their performance in the Dynabowl world.
We can also see, in the top chart, that total points rose to 2018 and have been falling since then. Someone who cares more would probably go back and check the scoring changes we put in place to see if they align.
I can be bothered to do one quick check though. There’s a ranked list of total points scored, per team, per season. Because there’s been an extra game since 2021, we can’t quite compare like for like, but for total points scored to the end of week 16, 9 of the top 20 team seasons have been after 2018, while 11 of the bottom 20 seasons have come in the same period.
Given there were five seasons in the ‘high scoring finals period’ (2014-2018) and only 4 since, this might indicate a slight drop in scoring overall. Especially as the 6 worst seasons were all between 2020 and 2022.
So there we have it – finals are more exciting (CLOSER GAMES) and less exciting (FEWER POINTS) than ever!
Seeding! Does it matter?
What I mean by that is, are the higher seeds more likely to win the title? Let’s take a look…
NB: Third/Fourth determined by third place playoffs
I’m kind of astonished that no one has looked at this before. The abject failure of the number 2 seed to do anything notable at any point is pretty crazy. It took until 2022 for the second seed to win a 2-game match-up (ie the final or 3rd place playoff). The first seed dominance of the past 4 years is also a surprise. In fact, the first seed has always won the 2-game match-up, and in 7 of those 9 years that has been against the number 2 seed.
The run of wins by number 3 seeds also seems like a bit of a surprise. However, in 2016, Kelkowski held the same record as the #1 seed Bombermen (and the #4 seed Hard), in 2017 Dyna Hard were a game behind the #1 seed Hurricanes (then Firebirds), but were league top scorers, 50 points ahead of the #1 seed, while in 2018 the number one seeds were the 13-0 Dyna Hard, who were destined to fail.
Just out of curiosity, I assigned 3 points for a win, 2 for runner-up, 1 for third and 0 for 4th. The number 1 seed gets 19 points, #2 gets 7, #3 17 and the fourth seed gets 11 points. That should really put things in perspective. Idle speculation and shit-stirring, but the top two seeds go to the winners of Peter and Tim. Guess what, 7 out of 9 #1 seeds have come from Tim, bookended by Peter (Losers in 2014, Brees in 2022).
Red for Peter, blue for Tim
Using the patented 3 for a win, 2 for runner-up, 1 for third scoring system, Tim clocks in with 33 points while Peter only racks up 21 across the nine years, but then with only two titles to show for it – both coming in years when the division managed to send 3 teams to the playoffs – that’s probably to be expected.
So back to the exam question – does seeding matter? Only in so much as the second seed was usually from Peter and they usually lost. What matters most is that the team come from Tim.
Double Hundreds
3 teams have scored at least 200 in both legs of the final, the Hurricanes (né Firebirds) in 2014, Champions in 2015 and the Dungeoneers in 2018. No teams have won the title without scoring 200 in at least one leg (though the Champions really pushed that in 2020, scoring 200.145 in the second leg), while only one losing team has managed to score 200 or more in a single leg of the final (the Tamworth Two in that same final against the Champions in 2020).
Regular Season Results Between Finalists
Every year, every team will play every other team at least once. Twice if they are in the same conference, once in the other conference, though since 2021 teams have had a second game against one team from the other conference.
The table below shows the match-ups in the final and the regular season record between the two teams.
Only once has the team winning the final not beaten their opponents at least once in the regular season. That came in 2019 when the Bombermen used the playoffs as a revenge tour. Having gone 11-2 in the regular season they beat Tamworth Two in the playoff semi-final before knocking off the Dungeoneers in the final – those were the only two teams to beat them during the regular season. Is this more impressive than Dyna Hard going 13-0 and then losing the playoff semi-final in 2018? Almost certainly.
What Can We Learn?
Want to win a title? If you make the playoffs, ideally be the first seed and, if not, be the third seed. Try not to be in Peter and make sure you beat your opponent at least once during the regular season, and score 200 in at least one game week.
It’s time to welcome a new member of the Dynabowl Champions club. Or should I say, new members?
Huge congratulations to Ben Archer and Stew Carter, Head Coach and GM (who knows which way round) of Here Comes The Brees. The lost the final in 2014 and, according to Next Gen Stats (aka Chris Braithwaite) hadn’t made it back to the playoffs since, but now they have achieved their crowning glory, being crowned Dynabowl Champions 2022, beating another team which hadn’t made the playoffs since that inaugural year.
The Brees become only the second team from Peter to win the title, and the seventh team overall.
And now to answer the question the biggest question of the season – who will be conveying their congratulations to our new champions? Well, I could only satisfy one of the management team with my selection, let’s find out who that was…
Chris Braithwaite decided to look at defensive strength and make some projections for the 2022 season:
“Slatz did a write up about team values. You could probably read that if there was a website somewhere. I dunno. But he didn’t include defensive players in that, simply because MFL doesn’t have the data to properly do anything with them given our league settings. So I decided to see what I can do”
It’s time to review the draft with Chris’s extra-special post-draft survey, one that we all really enjoyed. Chris didn’t enjoy it that much though as he’s not done the hard work part of typing these words out. I guess he just doesn’t really love the Dynabowl.
Anyway, first up we’ll have the average scores that people got for their drafts, then the comments, and finally we’ll have the details of the answers to the actual questions, featuring the only question you all really want to know the answer to – who has the best name…
Also, there will be a poll on MFL for the best player out of all those players voted best value.
One note, Max may or may not have responded. One respondent put their name down as “I might be Max” and in pretty much every textual question answered “I don’t know what happened in the draft.” I feel this is accurate so maybe it’s him, but I’m going to remove his ratings from everyone’s score for the draft.
So, who do we think had the best draft? Well, the raw points are worthless because we have a different amount of ratings for different people – a couple of people neglected to score a couple of other people, so it’s the average points that really count. So how did we stack up?
Well, Ben & Stew had the best draft, with a healthy gap back to Chris. There’s then a big drop off to Neil in third. I’m sure that this won’t be another false dawn.
Bringing up the rear are Benj in 8th, Slatz in 9th and James back in 10th. I’m sure James wasn’t penalised for flouting regulations during the season and this is a true view of the quality of his draft.
So here’s the table:

Now, onto what you thought. Let’s start at the top of the list.
1. Ben & Stew
Solid
I liked a lot of their early picks. There may be the beginnings of a decent offense there? I didn’t recognise any of their later picks so they’re probably really good
Decent job with a lot of picks, and early picks
A few of my guys picked up but all around when I had them valued. Nice draft but not too many steals
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
A solid effort, 7 on 10
Solid use of plenty of early round picks
I could genuinely see pretty much every player being useful. Not sure you ever need to draft 3 safeties in one year though.
Stew’s influence is obvious as this looks like a decent class.
2. Chris
Not bad
Not much here to not like. I don’t love trading away so much for an old TE though, especially the Derwin James piece.
I’m unfamiliar with any of those players so probably very canny on Chris’s part
What’s the phrase I’ve continually heard this draft cycle? This was all “chalk”, which I think (based on context) means he basically did everything he should with each pick – he was very much aligned with consensus. I like the first few picks but wasn’t interested in anyone he took late really.
I have completed your blood survey. I don’t know what happened in the draft.
I really liked my draft. I got guys I liked at good value throughout, and managed to trade for an elite
TE at a price that wasn’t totally eye-watering. Would have liked a starting LB out of it, but otherwise I’m happy with it.
Main positives are the value with the first 2 picks and the trades where he ripped off Max
Solid but unspectacular
3. Neil
Some okay picks around where I valued then
No real surprises, I think Neil picked the guys he was supposed to pick, when they were supposed to be picked
Can’t complain much about the first 3 picks but feels like he lost his way after that
I really hated the Jaycee Horn pick, but otherwise I think this is a pretty good draft. Most of them have starting potential, and even Horn could be vaguely worth it.
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
One of the best drafts, if we look past Neil’s CB obsession. I do not understand a) taking more when several are on the roster already or b) taking one as early as he took Horn.
I normally like Neil’s drafts. But Smith aside there’s a lot of guys who are just taken about where they should be who have question marks. I think that’s probably a reflection of a poor draft class.
A bit overdrafted across the board imo
Holy Moses, I’m Surtain we will Jaycee this team go Long
4. Geoff
A cornucopia of sadness
Solid early picks which given Mike picked them means they’re definitely going to break or be bad people
The draft rating is bearing in mind the draft capital he had. Wise to take Pitts first because at least half the league wanted him. Sermon is poor value but Lance is a good pick – arguably the best fantasy QB to go for in a 10 team league – QBs are plentiful so you want to draft one with the highest ceiling.
He must love to stay in Double-Trey Hotels. I like the Pitts and Waddle picks, two exciting prospects
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
A lot of reaches imo – Pitts, Lance, Waddle, Sermon, Collins. Mike usually is pretty active trading back, but he seems to have decided this year is the one he wouldn’t and just taken his guys where they came to him. But in reality he’s just taking everyone early.
I’m not a fan of Pitts at 1, but he was going in the top 3, so I guess if you want him you get him. I’d just rather have had Chase or Harris. I also think Sermon was a big reach at 11. But both guys have good upside and there’s a bunch of guys here that are similar. Feels like a lot of swings for the fences on boom/bust guys, but they seem like good swings.
A TE at one was a big shock to me but I know some others called it
Bog standard draft. Not too much ‘wow’ factor here
5. Pete
Efficient
Very few of my guys picked so this was a middling draft
Over half his draft picks I didn’t have ranked in my top 100
Some good value in the early rounds then went all d with exception of a random Shi Smith
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
An LB with the 13th pick takes some cahones
Getting Harris at 3 was very good for Pete. I think he was a bit early on Davis and Oweh, but they should be decent players. I feel like he took too many DEs, but don’t hate the players he took.
Pete: Strangely optimistic about this year’s picks.
Too many picks for not enough cap room.
6. Max
Let’s go Jags!
Some relatively solid picks and an amazing trade combined with an awful one
Hopefully set himself up at qb but has so many holes didn’t really fill them
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
This commenting stuff gets tricky after a few. Meh.
Pretty solid!
I liked his first 3 picks, although I think it ended up being that you could get a good DE way later, so Paye wasn’t great value. I know nothing about the two mid-round WRs.
I think Lawrence was taken too early and isn’t the best QB to go for in this draft. It’s a bit of a meh draft for me – fine, nothing special, not a disaster.
I think he did too much prep for this one
7. Ian
OMG
Very little value here
Made the most out of limited capital
He didn’t have a lot to work with, but I liked most of the picks. Picking a “worst value” was really difficult – even if Atwell is a bust, it’s not that much of a waste given where he was drafted. Most of the late round guys have a vague path towards being useful, so all in all a decent draft given the lack of picks.
He had nothing to work with and got very little for it.
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
For having limited early picks, there is a lot to like
Seems fine
8. Benj
Fall in love with guys and massively overdraft them. Check.
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
Could have just drafted 12 Mr Irrelevants
Another middling draft. Not much to get excited about but I like the Turner pick
Very different to my rankings, but being contrarian could work out well
I think I did ok. I got players I wanted and spammed the RB position in the hope that someone steps up. I was surprised that Brown was seen as such a reach – I’d seen plenty of mock drafts putting him around that area or within the next 4 or 5 picks (so not making it to me by my next pick) and of course we get no insight into who values which players where so I only really have a bunch of mocks to go on as to where he might fall to. Anyway, we’ll see.
Three a lot of darts at RB’s but no bullseye’s for me
I really liked Bolton, Bateman should be good, and Mitchell at his price was very good value. Brown was a bit of a reach but should be good. Of the picks after Mitchell though, I only liked Turner.
Steady away with limited early round picks
9. Slatz
Yes please
I don’t know anything about rhamondre Stevenson, so that colours this grade a bit. In a sense, I am grading my own ignorance.
I only value Nico Collins as a great pick here so that balances out some other poorer picks
I don’t like it at all. Lots of reaches for guys he obviously liked
Not my favourite draft, but too hard to say at this point if its good or bad
I like Collins, Hubbard and Hawkins but I don’t really fancy that this draft will off much long term. I’d be surprised if any get extended, punter aside of course.
I’m not a fan. Stevenson was a big reach, the WRs and RBs are all major dart throws on guys who mostly didn’t show much actual talent in college. He could easily have cut the entire class in 2 years.
I hate the Stevenson pick. I don’t understand taking him so early. Sure, the draft wasn’t great in depth but he’ll likely have 3 fantasy relevant games a year and you will never know which ones they will be.
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
10. James
Amazing
Huge focus on d but probably reached for a lot of guys. Still he’s got who he wanted I imagine
I don’t know what happened in the draft.
I like the Micah pick, but too WR light to get a top rating
He didn’t have much to work with, and Parsons was a good pick. Basham could be decent. I didn’t like Grant, and everyone else could easily be off rosters within a couple of years.
I don’t really like any of these players. Would be interesting to be able to rate what he traded the first for as well though, to see if he got good value for picks not used
Tough sledding with no early picks. Draft could only be defensive in nature, and we all hate defensive players
Mainly late round picks so hard to really assess their long term value
I don’t think he picked a single player I was remotely considering. A waste of a draft. Also, the trade would have scored much higher if he’d used the pick on someone worthwhile.
Onwards to the data!
Now then, rather than in ranked order, just normal league order, starting with Pete, here are the answers to each of the questions. I’m not listing every answer, anyone with only one vote is omitted for at least some semblance of brevity. Oh, and there were 10 voters on every question. Well done everyone.

Pete picked fastest, at 17 minutes per pick. What should his reward be?
200$ extra cap room
A weekend away at Neil’s for him to take over Neil’s 2022 draft
The nickname “Pistol Pete” for the season
He should be punished for not writing pick comments.
Slow clap
To work out if he was really fastest if auto picks are included
He gets the only playoff spot for Peter each season.
Something nice, like a better team
Bonus pick next year
A turducken
Neil picked slowest, at 6 hours per pick. What should his punishment be?
A chiduckey
He gets moved to Peter.
Bonus pick next year
Punishment? Should get an award for having to listen to the moaning!
He should have a baby to keep him awake all night
Not allowed to watch any Chiefs games this year; only Steelers
Being forced to have a really busy job and a new-born child. Oh, wait.
Banned from all future drafts
A weekend with Pete to help him with the 2022 draft
The nickname “Andrew Neil” for the season
The draft took 10 days. Is that…?
Too long – 6
About right – 3
Too short – 1 (this may have been Max)
Any last words?
Thoroughly enjoyable
Great draft, very enjoyable. Now that I’ve stopped watching the actual football, definitely the highlight of the year. Wait, did I say that out loud?
It feels like the worst draft class we’ve had so not many picks felt like good value
