Due to the unorthodox nature of the schedule (and little incentive to enforce it), some teams frequently played many more games than others did in any given season. In 1933, Cole's Chicago American Giants claimed the first half title, but the Pittsburgh Crawfords won the second half and had an overall better record. The following year saw the Stars have a better winning percentage that saw them compete against the third place Chicago team despite the fact Pittsburgh played (and won) more games. This led to some disputed championships and two teams claiming the title. Generally, the team with the best <a href="/wiki/Winning_percentage" title="Winning percentage">winning percentage</a> (with some minimum number of games played) was awarded the pennant, but other times it was the team with the most victories. The "<a href="/wiki/Games_behind" title="Games behind">games behind</a>" method of recording standings was uncommon in most black leagues. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders"
