Subject: I.1

that's good to save energy guys - we're in a pretty tough group and we got some very bad injuries in the past 2 days so we need all the help we can get.

Waldo is at 87. Sorry but I was fighting for 8th.

'bout the same as my guys.

leggman can you see the energy lvl of the National team members?

Sorry about Chen, he wont be back for the national team unless we make it deep in the tournament part. What made me even madder about his injury was that he was in camp when it happened.

Lost to the Seasides but don't really care since I got at least 10th and all my guys are in camp.

And something totally off-topic.... you guys mind challenging me? I haven't been very active, and I just realized I got like no games scheduled haha

Parker 93, and Mason 91 and will be finished with camps for that whole week.

rofl oops, wrong forum but right topic lol

Yeah, that's how I lost to Africville as well, with guys in camp but who cares.

and I sent you a few challenges, quite a few actually. accept however many you want.

good season everyone. Good luck next week with sponsorships and with aging...
hoping Buckley does not lose a CL this year. Is there an emoticon for crossed fingers?

I dunno, but you probably have 19 people crossing their fingers for just the opposite

there IS an emoticon for uncrossed fingers - V

Well, it looks like we're losing Xivam, the Falcons, Midwest K-aos and the Mountaineers next season and gaining the Mountain Yetis, the Manville CONDORS and welcoming back the Mandarin Oranges (II.2 is going to a game 3)
With the three swaps we know are going to happen we gain about 120 OTR points for the league which is good. The new teams look like they're better overall than the ones going down (25-33, 19-27 and 19-28) so we should get more parity out of it too.
In the case of the CONDORS and the Yetis they're ahead in facility construction and about the same with stadium so again if anything it should round out the league a bit. The Oranges are about the same as Xivam on facilities but trail about 800 seats stadiumwise, but not too huge a difference overall.

Only 1 matchup known for sure for the relegation round - the Hellraisers face off vs. the Jackson Jaguars. Each team is rated out at 31 and it should be pretty close. If the Jags win the league gains about 30 OTR but loses 500 seats stadiumwise - again not a huge deal either way.

The Wasphawks (currently 23 but might reflect camp) face the loser of the best77 and the Eagle River Bulldogs (both 26's) from II.2 - either way the league change to OTR would be about +30 if they go down.

The Michigan Hawks and Wiggly Pigs are both rated out at 27 right now and will face the Iowa Wild (24) and Pookinators (19). If the Pigs lose the league would gain about 40 OTR points; the other game wouldn't change much either way.

Reading the guide, the Rank 13 finisher (hellraisers) should play the 2nd place team out of II.4. I'm in II.1, so it looks like I should be playing the Rank 16 finisher -- the loser of the Pigs/Michigan Hawks

Unless of course Im interpreting the guide wrong -- and I've made mistakes lol -- and the relegation rounds go on regular season ranking instead of final ranking.

Which sort of makes the other "playoff" rounds pointless, but I digress. :>

huh. didn't realize that - but should be a good series either way...
