Scoring Records Update for 2016

You may recall that several weeks back, I did an analysis of total points scored in the modern TTFFL.  Well, since I'm currently sitting at my sister-in-law's house in Virginia with nothing to do, I thought I'd update that analysis now that the 2016 season has concluded.  Here we see the point totals for the past 7 TTFFL seasons, with all point totals prior to 2016 adjusted upward by 56 points to adjust for the scoring change which occurred in 2016:

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Aaron 1014 1122 1044 1029 924 1238 948.7
Adam 1110 1072 1028 1209 1102 1100 1236.6
Dave 1184 1097 1128 1273 1011 1090 1325.7
Jason 1037 1012 1148 1241 1065 852 1045.9
Jody 1164 1229 1077 893 1074 1073 1143.4
Kevin 951 1020 953 1163 1003 1220 1172.2
Levi N/A 1059 1151 1115 1137 1059 809.6
Merrill 1142 1001 1037 1060 1112 1172 961.5
Mex N/A N/A N/A N/A 1092 1125 1150.3
Paul 1127 1089 1084 915 1070 972 1070.6
Pete 1147 1005 947 935 960 1047 1004.1
Taylor 897 1279 1175 1125 1046 985 1115.5

Recall that each season's champion is marked in bold, while the high-scorer for the season is marked in italics.

One thing worth noting here is that 2016 was a historic season in a couple of ways.  For one thing, Levi's season was historically bad.  His 809.6 points --- barely more than 50 per game --- was the lowest in the history of the league, and only the fourth time a team failed to break the 900-point barrier in a season.  It was so bad, in fact, that even if you throw out the 56-point score adjustment for seasons prior to 2016, it still just barely ranks as the second-worst season of the modern era, just ahead of Jason's (non-adjusted) 796 point in 2015.  A splendid display of inertia.

Of course, the thing everyone SHOULD be marveling at and admiring is the amazingly high point total the Amazing Psychotic Ninjas tallied, besting the previous record of 1279 adjusted points Taylor put up in 2011!  Way to go, Ninjas!  It's not a title, of course, but it's still something worth bragging about!! Woo-hoo!  Are those Ninjas something or what?!?  I'm sure they're the heavy favorite to take home the title next year!!!!!ONE!
