All-Time Rankings
This table shows overall (all-time) rankings, since the beginning of week-to-week stat keeping began on July 22, 2019.
Any team that has ever played Doodad Trivia since July 22, 2019 will be listed here.
If you see a team listed twice that should be the same team (i.e. you played two different weeks under two different team names and I didn't know that you were the same team), then let me know by sending me an email describing the error and I'll adjust the records.

Scoring
Season rankings are not based on points scored - points scored are listed just for statistical fun. It would be unfair to base rankings on number of points scored since the number of points available changes each week. It is more fair to use the Team Beat Average, which is a "winning percentage" metric calculated based on your performance relative to other teams that you played against on any given night.
Your top 12 performances total to create your season score.
"Season" rankings are based on the total of your team's 12 best Team Beat Averages (TBAs) during the season.
If your team has played more than 12 games, then your lowest ranked performances drop off the list, thus maximizing your score.
The easiest way to assure a higher score is to play trivia at least 12 times.
If you have not played at least 12 games during the season, even if you performed well in the games you played, then your total season score might be lower than those who have played in more games.
A "perfect score" is 12 (meaning your team came in 1st at least 12 different times in a Season!)
What is the Team Beat Average?
The Team Beat Average (TBA) is a winning percentage metric based on how many teams you beat in an individual game.
So for example:
In one week's game there are 13 teams. Your team comes in 2nd place. Therefore, you have beaten 11 teams out of a possible 12 (the number of teams minus yours). Thus your TBA is 11/12 = 0.917
If instead your team finished in 9th place, you would have beaten 4 teams out of a possible 12. Thus your TBA would be lower: 4/12 = 0.333
