What the columns mean
#
Rank on the column the board is sorted by, 1 = most. The rank belongs to the team, not the row, so flipping to low-to-high counts down to #1 at the foot. Ties share a rank.
Worst stretch
The dates of the team's hardest run of consecutive games — its first game to its last.
Games
Games in the stretch, and how many of them are on the road. Neutral floors do not count as road games.
Opp margin
The average point differential the stretch's opponents posted last season — unavailable until the new season's schedule analysis lands, so every row reads —.
Score
0–100 for the stretch, from average fatigue alone while prior-season records are unavailable, min-max normalized across every stretch in the league.
Easiest stretch
The same team's softest run — its score and the dates it falls on.
How it's counted

Every run of 10 consecutive games in a team's season is one stretch.

No prior-season records are published for this league yet — 2023-24 has no standings, so opponent strength is unknown and the opponent-margin column reads — for every team.

These scores reflect schedule fatigue only: the average Fatigue Index of each stretch's 10 nights, min-max normalized across every stretch in the league into a 0–100 score. The 60% opponent strength and 40% fatigue blend returns once the new season's schedule analysis lands.

Teams with fewer than 10 games on the schedule have no stretches and do not appear. The score measures schedule tax, not outcomes: it is not a prediction of how a team will play.
