Season 57
Year three of the position adjusted rankings saw me focus most of my attention on creating an "All Time" leaderboard that deals with the totals since the adjustments took place. Those adjustments definitely do a good job of identifying the best players, but the awards haven't necessarily lined up over the last couple of years.
