The Autofill algorithm uses TC ratings to output team scores. But you might not agree with those ratings.

Introducing 'Tierlist', where you can rate teams yourself to personalise Autofill outputs.

(hint: use this and then Autofill all matches to simulate the season once)

Selecting the exact scoreline for every game is annoying and takes too long.

Now, you can Autofill to get a completely random result or select one of the tick buttons to get a random result where that team wins.

(you can still of course select the exact scoreline if you want)

Let us know what you think!

What about when the margin is 4 converted tries or less? There's no clear evidence of a rubber band effect
