Here we are! After 10 weeks, the Boston Fantasy Baseball League is halfway through the regular season. Following the results of Week 9 of the regular season, each team has now played every team in the league one time. With that said, what better time to announce a mid-season power rankings.
The league power rankings were put together through a variety of factors. League standings, matchup record, record vs. projected playoff teams, and a point system based on a Rotisserie league scoring system. With all that said, let's dive into the results. Deeper metrics were gathered for deciding specific tie-breakers within the categories in which teams had the same record, or same total stat numbers.
Standings
With a 73-48-5 (.599) league record, the Manhattan Beavers sit in first place after the first nine weeks of the season. To the left of the H2H categories column, matchup wins-losses is led by the BigDaddy's Bosox with a 5-1-3 record. Each team's win-loss record vs the top six (projected playoff teams) is also recorded in the green column. This record represents each team's record vs the current projected playoff teams through the first nine weeks of the season (Beavers, Bosox, Crushers, Aliens, Bombers, and Pilots). Leading this category were the top two teams, the Beavers and Bosox, each with a 3-1-1 record. Matchup and vs Top 6 wins and losses are added to the team H2H categories record to create a new Consolidated Record based on recorded results. Leading the league is Consolidated record, due to top performances in overall matchup wins, and record vs Top 6 teams, the BigDaddy's Bosox (80-51-9 .604) hold the league's best Consolidated Record.
Rotisserie Style Scoring
The Boston Fantasy Baseball League has always been a H2H Categories scoring league. So, for those who are unfamiliar with Rotisserie league scoring, allow me to explain. Every team is measured by each stat category that is recorded in league scoring. In this scenario, with a 10-team league, the team that leads a specific stat category receives 10 points for that category. The points descend down to the lowest scoring team in the category, whom receives 1 point for the same category.
Leading the league in R, HR, and OPS, as well as being second in RBI, SB, and AVG, the Clarksville Crushers are a walkoff after a bat flip in all recorded batting statistics. Totaling 65 points, the next closest team is the Bosox with 55. Pitching categories are led by the Manhattan Beavers. The Beavers lead the league in K, ERA, and WHIP, as well as second place in W and QS. Similar to the Crushers in batting, the Beavers (with 57 points) lead the second place Gorillas (47 points) by 10 points in the category. Combining the two totals, the Crushers top 99 points, followed closely by the Bay City Bombers with 93 points.

Power Rankings
Similar to the Rotisserie scoring, the two prior mentioned statistical recordings were consolidated into a 10 through 1 scoring system, measured by which team leads each respective area of performance measurement. The results for the first nine weeks of the regular season (every team has played each other one time) are as follows:
