Wins in 2014 MLU Regular Season

The 2014 Major League Ultimate regular season ended last weekend. The outcomes in the Eastern Conference were similar to 2013 with Boston and DC earning playoff spots, except this year DC goes in as the #1 seed. The Western Conference was completely reversed with the 2013 basement dwellers - Portland and Vancouver - making the playoffs. Each MLU team played 10 games during the regular season.


Portland posted the highest net increase of wins with 7 more wins than last year; 2014 (8-2) vs 2013 (1-9).

700% = % increase in Portland's wins in 2014 (8), compared to 2013 (1).

3 out the 4 playoff teams from 2013 (Seattle, Boston, San Francisco) did not post a winning record in 2014.

75% of teams (Portland, DC, Vancouver) with a positive change in wins made the 2014 playoffs.


Boston added to their lead in overall MLU wins, leading with 15 total regular season wins.

9 = DC's wins in 2014 = combined wins in 2 seasons (2013 + 2014) by Portland, by Vancouver.

5 = Boston's wins in 2014 = New York Rumble's combined wins in 2 seasons (2013 + 2014).

San Francisco Dogfish's record = (2-8) in 2014; (8-2) in 2013.

Vancouver Nighthawks doubled their 2013 wins (3) 2014 to 6 in 2014.

DC Current more than doubled their 2013 wins (4) to 9 in 2014.

Both Boston and Seattle halved their 2013 win total in 2014; though, Boston still made the playoffs.
