If a mod is around to just change the thread title to 'Battlers Tournament' I'm okay with recycling this thread for this and future seasons of the tournament too, otherwise I'll just make a new thread with that title and use that from now on.

Unlike last season, no bots slipped through the cracks in round 3 (two did last time). I count 4 Division II causalities out of the 21 human teams that didn't make it to the round of 128. No ABBL vs ABBL match-ups yet, so definitely a chance for all 16 to still be in by round 5. As a side note, I do wonder if the cup in this game would benefit from being split up into multiple tiers? For Australia this would mean an ABBL-DivII tier and a separate DivIII tier...

Fair point actually. Wouldn't be fair on DivII teams to not get the same chance to make cash in the early rounds that the DivIII teams would. My initial thought process was that BB's game engine does not make a giant killing run in the cup possible, so for lower division teams the cup stops mattering after the first few rounds. But the effect on the economy would have to be considered too.

I actually don't mind that idea (though I also like my free 50k for the first few weeks of each season). The only issue might be these days there are a lot of bot sides even in Div 3. In fact, I'd hesitate to say there are more sides in Div 2 or above in Australia right now than there are active ones below (being that it takes 80 sides to make up the ABBL and 4 Div 2 comps and we only have, typically, between 145 and 155 active teams at the moment).
But it probably would help newer players to the game make a better start. That said, I actually found it easier to make cash working through those lower grades where you could be competitive based purely off trainees in their early years, whereas I'm finding making the leap from 2 to ABBL hard.

Darn it...I know there is at least one ABBL vs ABBL match-ups next round. Was hoping to get at least one more freebie but alas not to be.

6 lucky div 3 sides playing each other in the fifth round. That's not bad going to be in Div 3 and headed for the round of 32, as a minimum of three div 3 sides are.

Lol.
I went in without thinking I'd be close. Didn't even try to win and didn't allocate any good players for this game.

I am having a golden season. For some reason it is all falling together for me?

Base Offence only works when used against my team. It might as well be the concede button otherwise :D.
