Season 24 Minimum Win Requirement Update

Our minimum win rule in Kenny Powers is 55 wins in one season (50 if you are a first season owner) and 185 wins over 3 seasons. You get 2 "strikes" against the policy, and on the third strike, you're out. If you don't earn any strikes over 3 consecutive seasons, all previous strikes are wiped out.

Once again, I'm happy to report no strikes were earned in Season 24 and no one has any strikes on their record.  dwrightjr5 only won 51, but the requirement for first season owners is only 50.

For next season, the following owners need to win more than the 55 minimum to reach the 185 win three season requirement to avoid a strike: breezee - 56, jnosek - 59, merott - 63

Here's the complete summary through Season 24.

Season 24 Final Power Rankings

As the playoffs start up, it's time to check in with the final power rankings of Season 24.  At the top, it's pretty much a dead heat between Helena and Little Rock, but we give the ever so slight edge to Helena, as we know the back-to-back champs bring it come playoff time.  No change at #3 and 4 either as Durham and Charlotte both finished off tremendous seasons strong.  Louisville surges up 5 spots to #5 as we enter the playoffs, and that wraps up the top 5.   Here are the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the last rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #12 Wichita (+7), #18 Kansas City (+6), #25 Tampa Bay (+6), #5 Louisville (+5), #7 Richmond (+5)

Biggest Falls: #31 Washington (-8), #14 Nashville (-7), #20 New York (AL) (-5), #23 Buffalo (-5)

It should be quite the interesting postseason.  Will Helena dominate again?  Will Little Rock continue their surge?  Or will another team surprise?  Good luck to all the playoff teams, here are the complete final rankings!
