Fun fact about 64. In most of the historical statistics I've played with over the years, they ALWAYS come out near the top. But that's because I usually stop derating scores for folks when they stop competing. And usually teams don't have a dominant year then stop competing... I've figured out ways around this, but 64 is always my canary for forgetting to do a reversion to mean in a statistic.
