As I was really bored, I found this:

The "Average team fanfactor" we have at our info page is calculated from the fanfactor of both our active and retired teams.

Until now, I thought that the "Average team fanfactor" was calculated only from the fanfactor of the active teams.

I know it is not very important but I thought that it is not bad to let you guys know.

Oh, btw, it would be nice only the active teams to be concidered for this stat, wouldn't it? Very Happy

Why do we even need this value in the first place?

I wouldn't call it fluff any more than the avg scoring and cas listings are.

I prefer the actual formula with the retired teams included in the calculation. It is more significant.

If you were going to do that, I'd say have two different formulas...one with retired teams, one without. I know in my case at least, my early teams (when I was still learning how to play) had severe FF problems, not from starting low (virtually always FF 9 to start) but from losing games and not scoring, thus losing during the team's career. My first year, I never had anybody get into the double-digits FF. This past year (not counting my time off) my teams were avering the high-teens, low-twenties, including a high of FF 28 if I remember right. But from the preponderence of retired, busted teams of low FF, my all-time average FF is only 9.something. Does this accurately reflect the player I am today, where my active teams would average 15-16, thus indicating to others that I know what I'm doing when I play?

Does it matter? Not really, but for the purposes of this discussion, I say not to include the retired teams.
