So I chose 9 as my cap number because lacking hard standard deviation stats I figured it is approximately double the league mean avg for rpg per team (4.5 give or take)....thus figuring scores of 0 to 9 for a team must be fairly close to the bulk of all scores (per team) ....double digits is where I make the cut. It's an inconvenient extra step to recalculate the teams' better rpg but it is more accurate and I only do it to begin each series.
