Don't like "the proof is left to the reader"?

Here's a path down...

- I made up sprocket points to be able to evaluate players and at least I liked the results - seem logical and intuitive.

- I needed to update some of the calculation with new league averages based on the 05/06 season.

- Thought I'd toss it open and see if anyone wanted to see how it worked and what I was changing.

- Came out a little long.

In the middle there somewhere are the stats that go into sprocket points and the weights I've given them - old and new. That's the heart of it.
