Team "generation" is not a common term. I use it here in order to try to compare teams more appropriately, and I define a team generation where they have the same team leadership (either coaches and/or captains) and mostly the same players. For instance, Lady Godiva has used the same name since 1987 and if you combine all of their years they would have the most points. However, that would be including their wins in the 1987-1994 timeframe with those in the 1995-2002 timeframe, and their leadership and rosters in those two different timeframes were very different. If you are trying to measure the "best" team, then I think you should compare each of Lady Govina's periods (or generations) to the other teams who lasted only as long as the majority of their leaders and players continued to play together. Generally a team generation lasts about 6-8 years with a few going a bit longer. I arbitrarily limit a team generation to 10 years. |
