Cells are z-scores — standard deviations above or below the pool average. FG% and FT% are volume-weighted impact, not raw rate.
Two formats, two different boards. A points league is one scoring formula and one number, so the best player is simply the one who accumulates most. A category league is nine independent races, and a player is worth how far above average he sits in each of them — which is what a z-score measures and what these rankings total. The two orders genuinely differ: a high-usage guard who turns the ball over can top a points board and sit well down a category one. Percentage categories are scored on volume-weighted impact rather than the raw rate, because a ninety per cent free-throw shooter taking one attempt a night moves nothing, while the same rate on nine attempts decides the category outright. Punt a category and its z-score stops counting, which is the entire point of the strategy and reshuffles the board immediately.
Frequently asked
Because they reward different things. Points leagues pay for volume, so heavy usage wins even with poor efficiency. Category leagues pay for being above average in nine separate races, so a specialist who dominates blocks or threes can outrank a bigger scorer.
How many standard deviations above or below the pool average a player sits in a category. A z-score of 2 in blocks means he is far out in front of the field there. Totalling the nine gives one comparable number for category-league value.
It removes a category from the total, on the basis that you have decided to concede that race and compete in the other eight. Punting free-throw percentage and turnovers, for example, lifts high-volume big men who would otherwise be dragged down by both.
A raw percentage ignores volume and would rank a bench player who took two shots above every star. These rankings use impact instead: the distance from league average multiplied by attempts, so a category is credited to the players who actually decide it.
