Assunto: II.1

Haha, I almost blew it like usual! Now for the promotion round...

Lost to the Miners in the promotion round, so I am staying here next season. Yay?

You shouldn't advertise that you were playing around with minors here, these boards are moderated!

Ummm, why did i get promoted? I finished in 3rd. I DIDNT want to be promoted this season. Holy hell. You promoted me as well with a Div. III income.

Im sorry.

Honestly you'd probably make more money back in D3. Promotion is based on REGULAR season standings in soccer NOT playoffs.

my REGULAR season finishing position was 11th. So how did i promote? I finished in 11th place. I dont want this promotion, nor earned it. Can i go back? If not im just closing my account. this is nonsense.

Every year PPM does maintenance and cleans up the lower levels. If that causes you to quit, bye.

Oh there was a league regrouping. The highest OTR from teams in D3 get automatically moved to D2.

Here's my first round draft pick: Peter McHenry

His EQ is about 87 as a CM or 83 as a forward, but he has 43 more offense than midfielding. I also have better F depth than CM depth. Even so, I'm leaning towards keeping him as a forward. In any case, my focus is more in developing prospects than building a team at this point.

My team is stepping it up this season! I'm enjoying the wins, keep it up Hoosiers FC!

Not a bad season for a young team! Granted this entire season was a bit "odd" whereby none of the top veterans attempted a run at Div.I and pretty much only fielded players far lower than what I'd expect to normally see at this level. I saw this early on in the season and figured I'd make a run at the championship since no one really wanted it...which im sure i will pay dearly for being greedy...but I wanted that Trophy : ) Not easy for a scrub outfit like mine to achieve without the aid of an entire league.
Just wish theyd make that trophy a bit bigger : ) I'll be back in one season after Div.I teams have their fun with me. Good luck next season!

Congratulations and good luck next season!

Next season will be a challenge, but you should get a nice sponsor next season in addition to a large bonus for promoting.

I generally played my best players when I wasn't running a camp, but I played on very hard starting early in the season, exhausting my team very fast. I have players that should eventually be good enough to be relatively competitive in I.1, but they need at least two more seasons of training. I might more seriously try to promote next season.

My players (generally 20 and under) are now roughly as good as the players from the other top II.1 teams at this point, though they are a lot younger and will grow a lot faster.

I did accidentally win an auction on a ~1700 OR RFA forward for 999,9999 from a team that had folded (the Mobile Rain in I.1). I wanted to focus on developing the experience of the forwards who will be with my team in the future instead of playing him. I'll probably just sell him when it becomes possible or else use him only for key games. My younger goaltender is good enough now that I might do the same with my older ~1700 OR goaltender.

nice USA U20 and U17 teams both winning their qualifier groups!
