Welcome to all the new managers. It looks to be an interesting season as our demotee (Cross Chargers) seems content to continue a path down to D IV with a salary under 50k. Also one of the promotees (Darington Dominators) managed to promote out of D IV with a salary under 50k so props to them.

Currently, salary wise, there's VinLAkers and then everyone else as their top 8 salary is 150k greater than the second highest team.

Who do people think will win this season? I choose an arbitrary cutoff for including only 8 teams by adding up the top 8 salaries for each team and included those with the highest.

Does anyone know what D2 is like?
I'm afraid to go up there.

It's been quite a few seasons since I've been there (like 20+) so maybe it's changed, but don't let it intimidate you. You learn quickly the importance of GS and enthusiasm management. It's hard to win road games with equal effort vs other good managers so it's a matter of making sure not to expend extra and unnecessary effort.

I didn't want to tank but I felt like I could stockpile more cash while i'm work as much as I have been lately. then run my way back up.

Congrats to VinLAkers on their upset of a NBBA team in the cup! It's impressive to be able to beat an NBBA team, no matter the circumstances!

We are just over a third of the way through the season and VinLAkers and New Bedford Nasties are remaking their teams on the fly.

A good early schedule has helped my team start strong and Mill City Thunder also is overperforming their salary.

I was surprised to see the Great 8 success after the first set of interleague games, but I think despite current records that the top of the Big 8 is slightly better than the Great 8. There definitely seems to be a pretty clear divide for the playoff caliber teams and everyone else.

Got emotional after back to back losses.
Guess its time transfer my team from outside to inside now, since Lakers already made the transition from Kobe to Lebron.
Hope everyone go better.

What a dogfight in the Big 8! Only two games separate first through 7th place. In the great 8, two game separate first and second place! My team has been virtually injury free for three seasons, and this season I have had at least one important player injured for almost every game. Weird.
