I selected 1998 as the starting year to compare teams because by going back further, DoG becomes the obvious "best team" using my "points" method. The best North American team for this time period is Furious George.
The best U.S. teams for this time period are the Condors and Sockeye.

Here are two different methods of ranking the results of men's club Nationals 1998-2008:
1.) 6 points for winning finals and 3 points for being the losing finalist. 2.) 6 points for winning finals and subtracting the point differential from 6 for the loser.
This second method gives the loser more points if they only lost by a small amount
and less points if they lost by a lot.
