MAGIC NUMBERS
Is the number 3? Henry Abbott and True Hoop look at how many quality players are needed for a championship. The Wages of Wins looks at the same number and also the 80-20 numbers. In other words the Pareto Principle--20% of the players do 80% of the scoring.

Thanks for the help readers.
