Season 25 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.

Two strikes were earned this season, for each owner it is their first.  kujhawker failed to win 50 games as a first season owner and spcaesar failed to meet the 55 win floor.  dhanson32 does not receive a strike, as he took over the team midseason, nor would this season's win total count against the 185 wins over 3 seasons requirement.

For next season, owners needing to win more than 55 games in Season 26 to avoid a strike are spcaesar (68 wins needed) and hrrng_dnn (60 wins needed)

Here's the complete summary through Season 25.

Season 25 Final Power Rankings

The regular season has wrapped up in Season 25 and the playoffs are under way.  Let's see how the Final Power rankings shaped up!  Not surprisingly, Little Rock remains #1 on the heels of an incredible regular season.  Chicago remains #2, while Nashville is up one spot to #3.  Rounding out the top 5, we have 2 teams each jumping 2 spots in Durham and Syracuse.  Now, for the biggest climbers and biggest falls since the last rankings!

Biggest Climbers: #11 Helena (+10), #17 Ottawa (+9), #13 New York (NL) (+6), #9 Louisville (+5)

Biggest Falls: #22 Las Vegas (-9), #16 New Britain (-8), #26 Norfolk (-8)

It should certainly be an interesting postseason with several teams having dominant regular seasons in the mix.  Little Rock was dominant, but there's a handful of teams that should put forth a good challenge.  Good luck to the playoff teams and here are the complete final power rankings for Season 25!
