Support factors: Sixty percent of each teams score is based on three support factors. A team with high average attendance, high percent of capacity and low attendance fluctuation will do best on this side of the formula. Heres an explanation of these three support factors:
1. Average attendance -- Average crowd at regular-season home games, 1996-2005.
2. Percent of capacity -- Percentage of all available seats that were occupied at home games, 1996-2005.
3. Attendance fluctuation -- Difference (in percentage points) between the best and worst annual percentages of occupied seats, 1996-2005.
