That is the point of DOPE though, to look at a medium term decade instead of just the individual season. I won Legends East the season before Mike, and then I relegated the very next season, it is incredibly tight at the top and how Seca, kladu, and MrTwoPlums maintained their success is just made that much more impressive.

I make a pretty decent jump this time with four consecutive division titles. About write-ups, I make them extremely brief for the non-top teams for two reasons. The first is time. The second is because the teams are so close they rarely have things that make them stand out from one another, at least not at a quick glance. Updated Monday, May 14 2018 @ 10:44:45 am PDT

Still the poster child for DOPE. There may be others like them, but I looked to them immediately because they were the most DOPE team in the original without official prestige. 64—Beachside Woods (47) 63—Grand Blanc (67) 62—Richmond (72) 6 seasons of 4+ Cup rounds. 61—Milpitas (85) 60—Bloomington (112) The biggest upward DOPE jump by a team from the original list. 59—Clearwater (40) 58—Napa (41) 57—Warsaw (74) 56—Brookview Island (90) 55—Harrisonburg (54) 54—Missoula (73) 53—Davis (75) 52—Redwood City (39) 51—Sunrise (34) 50—Terre Haute (NR) Courtesy of back-to-back Cup wins, they are the most DOPE team that didn’t make the cut in 2034. They are the only team that didn’t get more league points than Cup points. For the vast majority of teams, it’s not even close. Updated Monday, May 14 2018 @ 10:50:43 am PDT

MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive	You're not giving yourself enough credit. You replaced a first and second place finish in V with a year in Legends and a division crown in II. That's a pretty good move for the better.

Amazingly, 8 of the teams between 49 and 13 jumped up 20 or more spots. That's not an easy feat at this level. 49—Bellflower (42) Advanced in the Cup all 10 seasons. I think they’re the lowest ranked team to do so. 48—Muncie (62) 47—Bellevue (65) Was in III for 8 seasons before moving up. Now they’re at their highest ranking ever at 27. 46—Springfield (29) 45—Minneapolis (61) 44—Scranton (64) 43—New Britain (49) 3-0 in the playoffs. 42—Frankfort (46) 41—Jeffersonville (71) 40—Bay City (37) 39—Oceanview Woods (44) 38—Aberdeen (32) 37—Davenport (43) 36—San Mateo (82) Shot up thru the DOPE rankings, a whopping 46 places. Back to back Cup runner-up (2033 and 2034) 35—Bismarck (63) Back to back Cup runner-up (2031 and 2032). Weird that these teams went back to back, back to back, and are now back to back here, huh? 34—Salem (13) 33—Jacksonville (30) 32—Augusta (23) 31—Apache Junction (35) 30—Huntington (26) 29—Roanoke (50) 28—Lauderhill (20) 27—Topeka (17) 26—Denver (28) Finished 2nd in III four of the last 5 years. 25—Haverhill (19) 24—Margate (58) 23—Sioux City (14) 22—Sumter (18) 21—Laredo (27) 20—Fall River (24) Has a streak of 6 seasons advancing exactly 3 rounds in the Cup. 19—Monterey (48) Was 347th overall after 2026. Now they’re ranked 5th! 18—Reading (11) 3-time 6 round advancer in the Cup. 17—Raleigh (22) 16—Kalamazoo (36) 15—Manhattan (12) 14—Buffalo (6) 13—Seattle (4)
