The first round of the Battlers Tournament saw some massive upsets.

You Shouldve Dunked! vs. WA IS A DUMP 88 - 76 (46263448)

OTT9 manager of You Shouldve Dunked! had been talking all week about his big game against WA IS A DUMP. It seems Bryce was not listening and in the upset of the round the up and coming division III team took down the winningiest team in Australian history. Bryce even put in more effort! Quite a scalp.

Chumunga vs. Melbourne Sharks 118 - 130 (46263379)

tremell is already in shock over this one. An easy match for Chumunga an ABBL team some have picked as the dark horse to take the ABBL crown this season against a struggling division III team. Melbourne Sharks have been around since season eight and this is probably the franchises proudest moment.

adams guns vs. Bringing Sexy Back 85 - 98 (46263377)
Kynlala Knights vs. TeamAkuma 35 - 117 (46263390)
Very high profile teams adams guns and Kynlala Knights both went down but neither should be a surprise as both are in full tank mode and Iwen did have a very tough opponent in Akuma. Likewise adam was facing a Fishbowler and you know how tricky they are.

Nevada Saucers vs. Flordbarp Gebtrarps 78 - 96 (46263288)
Australia's number one "gangsta" Rozzie joined his homey tremell in the loss colum as his nightmare start to the season continued. Top 16 in the cup last season, bottom 500 this season. Could it be worse? Oh yeah, he was beaten by a bot! Back to the ghetto Rozzie!

South Gisborne Storm vs. Docs Patients 94 - 102 (46263684)
Little Bainsy of South Gisborne Storm always had a hard matchup taking on Docs Patients but couldn't have Big Bainsys luck going down badly while the Gisborne Gladiators survived in what will have to be one of the most controversial endings of the season when a Shot clock violation was called on Southern Cross Basketball Association after they had only had the ball for seven seconds. The league is investigating.

Northcote Slammers vs. Melb Magic 73 - 74 (46263624)
Greeno and the Northcote Slammers came so close to making the ABBL last seasonbut this season they are bounced out of the cup in the first round on a heartbreaking one point loss to division IV team Melb Magic. With 0:00 on the clock and one point up Northcote's $33,000 SG fouls $4,000 rookie Uroš Živanov who calmly sinks both. He really is a MVP.

lol how did a D2 spud get on that list yoda!

The Shame!

Its a mystery to us all

To lazy to vote, but reckon the bearded one would have to be odds on favourite.

In the second round of the Cup there are sure to be some big upsets but there are also some tough matchups.

Billy Hoyles Boys are touted by some as being a potential ABBL champion this season but wont have their odds improved when The Dons come to visit.

Two of the oldest teams in Australia High School Drop-outs and Corio Bay Giants should probably settle this one over a game of lawn bowles instead. Props to tremell for finding this video of their latest recruit "Uncle Drew".

CROCKERS are having a nice season, so what is the last thing you want popping up when everything is calm? How about a fully loaded Big Black Wang?

TeamAkuma and Western Titans must be hated by the draw gods. Rated #25 and #26 in Australia the Titans had a horror draw last season and again this time while Akuma has just finally escaped the horrors of being in III.6

Finally Koopasaurus has a bot, so should watch out. They have beaten him before!

That is no spud, that is Mr Potato head.

mllama, it really isn't that hard to vote. Give it a try, the exercise may be good for you.

Its very hard for me to vote

One team that I reckon should be on the list would be Baxter - reckon they have a decent show (but I guess you ran out of space)

And hooray, a bot for me next round ;)

Nothing controversial about it. the ref did what he was told.

Billy Hoyles Boys are touted by some as being a potential ABBL champion this season but wont have their odds improved when The Dons come to visit.

He'll lose!

I seriously don't get how I won that game. Sure, he played 6 scrubs, but my team isn't that much better, he had HCA and played normal vs my TIE. The sight of oddly drawn heads on the sideline taking it easy must've thrown them off...

But anyway seeing as though I did make it past round 1 and have a bot in round 2 I might as well go for glory now, no more taking it easy (except against the bot since they suck).
