At the time, I was in the war-room of the Anaheim Outlaws ( 
forever!) and saw how mainly everything had attributes and in the tactical descriptions of the manual there were descriptions on how those applied to success failure of said tactics. Thus, version 1 of the calculator was born and it was UGLY, but somewhat functional. I remember initially sharing it with some of my fellow S52 players, particularly those in St. Louis after the season was done and by proxy in Toronto just to get some feedback.
Well here we are, 16 seasons later and I've condensed it down with some optimization. This coupled with the league-wide move to global tactics only made calculating, in my opinion, that much easier. The grand question though is, does it work?
Considering Great Falls came in dead last this past season, my first reaction is to give a hard no, however that would be giving it a disservice as the same calculator had GFG going to the finals in S61 as well so obviously there are some nuances with it. I won't say that it has the complete answer, but it is more of a guide to help a GM or Co-GM or a coach make a better tactical decision. I'm sure part of the mix-bag of results I've gotten with it comes entirely from my lack of full tactical understanding and I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that there are members of this community who are insanely good at understanding tactics.
Rambling aside, at this point in its development I don't feel I can take it any further or go to the proverbial next level. Like I said, there are still some things that I just don't fully understand yet and as a result don't understand how they incorporate into the tactics of the game. This is where you, the greater SHL community comes in.
As of today I'm sharing this calculator with all of you. I'm sure some teams have their own updated version of my old v1 calculator and there might be people who have already been able to take this to the next level, I don't know. What I do know, however, is that over the last 3 years I have seen this community do some pretty bad ass things that are absolutely fascinating...and I think together we can do it again.
So good luck. Have fun. Hope you enjoy this little thing.
