Top 50 Motivational Rankings for 1/16/22-1/21/22

More notes before we start:

1. Style points count. You’ll see that down the list.
2. Just a reminder, I’m a ‘What have you done for me lately’ guy, so a team that did great last year but is bowling like dishwater now is not going to be on this list.
3. If you’re not in a play-off spot in your district. You’re not making the list.
4. While #1 is Tour Stop Play, Team Rankings / WCS / Tournament Results DO count here, because if they do well and a team uses these people in a UBA Tour Stop, then there’s no reason why not to think they will be just as good at a tour stop as they are in a tournament, etc.
5. (NEW) I found out how to get all of the Team Ranking Results so they will be up to date. Some of you will be very happy about this. Some of you…won’t.
6. Keep in mind that with over 200 teams competing this season, this list represents less than the top 25% of the UBA. If you’re on here, consider that some kudos.
7. This is for fun. Don’t get salty, get motivated.
8. I love all feedback, so keep it coming 🙂

So here we go with this week’s rankings….

CURRENT PLAY NOTE: All Matches from last weekend and the Team Ranking matches will be included in this list.

1. BC Crew (194-86 / 1st) (Was 3)
   They get the week off. ZZZzzzz.
2. Murder Inc. (175-25 / 1st) (Was 1)
   They get the week off also, but they have a match this weekend.
3. Hitmen (164-36 / 1st) (Was 4)
   Darn snow monster.
4. The Arsenal (168-32 / 1st) (Was 5)
   They get a match this weekend also. Maybe a chance to move up?
5. G.O.A.T. (135-65 / 1st) (Was 3)
   Snow monster didn’t stop them from losing to Spartanberg Savages in Team Rankings. Maybe the Snow Monster needed to work harder. Bad snow monster.
6. High Octane (156-44 / 1st) (Was 8)
   They are still here, but will they be after the Southeast Draft this weekend?
7. The Replacements (194-46 / 1st) (Was 11)
   Style points count. Dismantling Strike City 36-4 (Complete with blindfold) was impressive.
8. Outrage (174-66 / 1st) (Was 9)
   Good 28 point win to get them back on track
9. Impact (156-44 / 2nd) (Was 10)
   Technically, I should put them over Outrage because of their team ranking win, but they have their own chance to take over first in the district with Outrage’s bye coming up, so I’ll wait until them to do so.
10. Boardwalk Empire (112-48 / 4th) (Was 8)
    They get a chance to get back to where they were this weekend.
11. Spartanberg Savages (133-67 / 1st) (Was 15)
    BIG win over GOAT in Team Rankings. Also, Kasey Parnell’s promo was straight up fire. THAT’S how you do a promo.
12. Sub-Zero (122-78 / T2nd) (Was 16)
    I did say Team Rankings count. They won one, so they move up.
13. Conspiracy Theory (162-38 / 1st) (Was 17)
    They won a Team Ranking match also, so up they go. Hey! Consistency!
14. New England Heat (224-56 / 1st) (Was 19)
    We still don’t know if they are legit, but they are beating the NE South like a dirty rug.
15. AC Express (169-71 / 1st) (Was 7)
    They did win a Team Ranking match also, BUT they lost a Tour Stop match and fall from the ranks of the undefeated, so they get dinged here.
16. Tribe Called Nest (129-31 / 1st) (Was 12)
    Will they get back on track this weekend?
17. Royal Flush (156-84 / 2nd) (Was 13)
    First week in a while that they have been inactive.
18. All In! (161-79 / 1st) (Was 14)
    Win this weekend, and you move back up.
19. Silent Killerz (144-56 / 1st) (Was 20)
    Silent this week.
20. NJ Drillers (151-89 / 2nd) (Was 35)
    THIS is the NJ Drillers that the UBA should be afraid of.
21. Philly Horsemen (134-68 / 2nd) (was 28)
    Nice team rankings win.
22. Motion 2 Strike (150-50 / 1st) (Was 18)
    Other SE teams were doing things and you weren’t. So you drop a few spots. Yes, I’m a big meaniehead.
23. DC Mafia (129-31 / 1st) (Was 21)
    What do they do this weekend?
24. Killerz Grip (148-92 / 4th) (Was 22)
    Finally get back in action this weekend after a week off.
25. Synergy (129-71 / 2nd) (Was 29)
    They move up after scoring a Team Tanking victory.
26. Da Garden Foundation (120-80 / 2nd) (Was 27)
    I’m moving them up because they LIKED my rankings last week. Flattery gets you everywhere. But they only move up one because I don’t want everyone getting the wrong idea. Heh.
27. Latino All-Stars (152-48 / 2nd) (Was 23)
    They can move up if they score a Tour Stop Victory
28. Class Axe (146-54 / 3rd) (Was 24)
    See above
29. Usual Suspects (130-30 / 1st) (Was 25)
    Waaaaaaaah Gordon doesn’t like us because he doinked us when we didn’t put in a team for the Northeast Draft! Waaaaaaahhhhh!!!. I’ll call a Waaaah-mbulance for you. Get motivated this weekend!
30. Long Island Legends (154-86 / 3rd) (Was 31)
    They move up because other teams blew it last weekend.
31. Da Hit Squad (130-70 / 3rd) (Was 33)
    Not one of the teams that blew it last weekend.
32. Pocket Kingz (114-86 / 3rd) (Was 34)
    Not them, either.
33. Hot Pockets (108-52 / 3rd) (Was 38)
    They eeeek out a 22-18 win, so they get some kudos for that.
34. Team Matrix (148-92 / 2nd) (Was 49)
    A bunch of people asked me why Team Matrix was ranked. I’ll file that under ‘I know something that you don’t.’
35. Powerhouse (139-101 / 3rd) (Was 26)
    They – correctly, I may add – showed me the Team Ranking stuff and I was going to move them up a bunch of spots…until they laid a giant turkey egg against Team Matrix.
36. New World Order (122-78 / T2nd) (Was 36)
    The weather outside is frightful
37. Menace II Society (140-60 / 2nd) (Was 37)
    The inside is so delightful
38. Reality Check (128-32 / 2nd) (Was 39)
    Let it snow, let it snow…
39. #Violators (132-68 / 2nd) (Was 40)
    Let it snow
40. Rollin’ Rebels (128-72 / 3rd) (Was 41)
    Fine, I don’t know the lyrics. Deal with it.
41. Identity Crisis (136-104 / 1st) (Was 27)
    This is a classic example of ‘Dead First Placed Team Walking’ – In first place ONLY because they haven’t taken their bye yet and everyone else has. Expect them to drop after the next NE North tour Stop.
42. Auburn Maulers (123-77 / 2nd) (NEW)
    The Maulers benefit the most with their win in an increasingly muddled NE North
43. Absolute Chaos (140-60 / 4th) (NEW)
    Getting into the Top 4 via a 40-0 win is a good way to get on the list.
44. Bulletproof (146-94 / 3rd) (Was 32)
    Maybe their loss this past weekend was a hint as to why they didn’t put in a team in the Northeast Draft. Yuck.
45. The Franchise (131-69 / 2nd) (Was 42)
    Taking a week off to lick their wounds.
46. Lightz Out (130-70 / T3rd) (Was 43)
    Hanging out until this weekend.
47. Str8 Bizness Cartel (118-42 / 3rd) (Was 44)
    They can bounce back big time with a win this weekend.
48. Apocalypse (92-28 / 2nd) (Was 45)
    They see action this weekend also.
49. Dream Team (122-78 / 4th) (Was 47)
    They wake up this weekend
50. The Fallout (166-74 / 2nd) (NEW)
    I still haven’t figured out what to do with the NE South, but they are in second place, so they get a mention.
    

OUT: (For now) Pound 4 Pound / Kryptonite / We’ve Been Framed
