FWIW, I don't see a little turnover as a bad thing. If you constantly replace 5-6 owners, something is amiss. But losing 1-2 isn't the end of the world.
The way I set up my formula was by taking the best at each category and using that world as a baseline for that category. All other worlds are given points based on their deviance from the baseline. In this system a low score is more desirable. Best case scenario if the world was the best in every category they would have a score of 0.
I am only looking at the last 4 seasons, because frankly anything beyond that is far less relevant.
Moonlight Graham and Cooperstown are 1-2 so far.
Moonlight Graham is amazing in that over the last 4 seasons 27 of the 32 franchises have made the post season. The next best so far is only 23 with most worlds hovering around 21-22 or so.
TheMLB is the baseline for "average wait time between seasons". They ran 4 seasons in 363 days. Hopkinsheel's other two worlds were both at 364. Moonlight and Cooperstown were both @ 365 IIRC.
I also take into account "extreme teams" getting a count on 100 win and loss teams. as well as most single season wins and losses during the 4 seasons.
MG or Coop, had a high loss mark of only 102. That means the #1 pick went to a 60 win team or better every season. Those kinds of numbers are what I think make for a competitve world as well as a well run world (as far as turnover and wait time).
Anyway I have a couple volunteers so hopefully I will be able to post the complete list fairly soon.
