Why league context changes a global ranking
A global ranking answers for a reference league. Your scoring, roster slots, waiver pool, and build can change the order — sometimes materially.
The flaw in global ECR
A published ranking may assume a reference format. Check its methodology against your league. Roster slots, scoring weights, waiver pool, and build can shift player value; the size and direction depend on the inputs.
What league-native ECR does
An illustrative league-context workflow can re-weight a source ranking by:
- Your category list - a points league values assists and turnovers according to its scoring formula. A 12-category league does not automatically double defensive weights; check the enabled categories and their weights.
- Your roster slots - flexible UTIL slots and required center slots can change positional scarcity; the effect depends on the eligible player pool.
- Your scoring formula - +1.5 for a made three instead of +1.0 changes that stat's contribution, but need not change every shooter's rank.
The method is source-dependent: source rank or projection → supported league scoring → roster/positional scarcity → contextual rank. Pick Pilot's beta currently uses rolling form rather than a licensed ECR or preseason projection feed.
What can change
A punt, category weight, or unusual slot can move a player up or down. Do not reuse a fixed rank shift across leagues: calculate it from the named source, date, player pool, and rules, then show those inputs beside the result.
Closing
Your rank sheet should look like your league. Not someone else's.
