Asunto: ChL and CWC

Are you saying we didn't challenge you enough this past season?

Nah I'm saying in comparison to D2 or D1 where every match is one you have to watch out for. In D3 only half the teams are active, and even then I only had to worry about you, rub and tuggers, and connecticut capricorns.

I think worry may be an exaggeration. More like make sure to play on low instead of very low

I'm interested to see what happens with the regrouping. I'm a little afraid I'll be moved up too, and I'd really prefer one more season to grow my team.

No I really did worry. After that loss to you in the beginning I played a lot of matches on normal. Every loss meant 3.3 OTR and a million dollars down the drain.

And yeah I agree you need more time to develop first.

You have nothing to worry about. The league regrouping won't bump you up to division II. The top two divisions don't have any dead teams in them, so there's no reason to regroup teams into them.

The regroupings in handball largely just consolidate the III and IV leagues. So you'd only really have to worry about "moving up" if you were in division IV. You DO, however, have to worry about decent teams with active managers getting dumped into your division from other III and IV divisions though.

That happened to me in hockey in the last regrouping and I almost crapped my pants out (because I had just selected a pretty risky bonus-type GS contract). Then, within a couple of weeks the season starting, 3 of the best teams in my division went dead. Go figure...?

1 win for the USA in CL. The dude went nuts on me with VH but i got him on medium.

Another USA win in the CWC. Like Outsider's opponent, mine was in a training camp. His backups were outclassed and fell by 14.

Sitting in first of CWC Group 3 with 5 pts through 3 games. I'm about even with my competition, but it looks like I'm committing more energy than my group competitors, so hopefully that translates into advancing. Especially since it looks like the other American teams seem to be struggling a bit.

Thru 4 games:
Rowdies sit atop CWC Group 3 with 7 pts
Melon and Mojo in ChL and Badel in CWC all sit with 2 pts each in their groups. Doesn't look like any of those 3 will be able to advance.

We don't look to be in danger of losing our 4 spots, I don't think.

Rowdies won our CWC group to advance to playoffs.

The other 3 US teams weren't very competitive in their groups. Tough matchups.

It took a couple of fluky wins but I am advancing in ChL. Mojo Xpress has a good chance to advance too.

I needed a draw today but lost by 1 goal to one of the best teams in the world. But my last match is against an underdog. Will see what happens.

Right, if I am seeing it correctly it looks like you need at least a draw in your next one to advance.

Yep. That's why i decided not to burn too much energy today.

Both of us got tough opponents in the next round. Will be hard to advance.
