You can beat them!
Granted, it wasn't until 3rd round but I drew Arizona Desert Storm last year...

I was surprised to see I've never played Sungrazers before. We've both been playing for like 20 seasons now.
I could make it competitive, but the question with this sort of cup game is always "is it worth it"...

The fan survey hit is a bummer, but you have enough cash. The other negative is the extracgame to raise enthusiasm, but scrimmages make training youngsters easier. Good luck.

Yeah, I made sacrifices to win last week against a non-bot D.IV team. Want to keep in it for the enthusiasm bump. Looking like a rough season all of a sudden!

Thanks / Sorry to JDuece and the Desert Heat Strokes for giving me the first buzzerbeater win I can remember in, maybe, ever! Hype!

Sheesh, this season is off to a bumpy start. Finished final 4 (I think) in cup last season, to now having probably one of my earliest cup eliminations in awhile. TIE vs CT, overtime loss. Rough.

We're already at the halfway mark!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't notice any big roster moves other than Lay Down swapping out a big salary guard for a younger, cheaper guy.

Great 8
1) Visionaries -- sometimes being knocked out of the cup early can be a blessing in disguise. These guys aren't a true threat unless they add a player or two, though
2) Jade Dragons -- you could say my prediction was way off the mark here. Curtis is on the US NT now!
3) Burger Chefs -- just about where they should be with plenty of time left to move up
4) Shinoa's Squad -- solid start to the season
5) Sierra Oaks -- sacrificing a bit of league play for a cup run
6) DHS -- horribly unlucky so far. Got CT'd on day 1 by Jade Dragons, of all people, and lost to Visionaries on a buzzerbeater 3. Still in a relatively comfortable position with little threat of relegating.
other) Trap Godz & Most Dope -- separated by 5 point differential, the dregs of the league have their internal competition where they occasionally beat each other

Big 8
1) California Knights -- cruisin'
2) Frogmonsters -- second place, negative 17 point differential. Great management to balance league and cup. ALSO owner of a 1-point win over DHS! Back to back with the Visionaries game, no less.
3) SM Lizards -- For teams like SM and Visionaries with good records and low payrolls, I prefer "salary efficient" as a description over "talent-light". Solid cup run still in progress for this guy including beating an NBBA team on the road.
4) Bay Harbor -- still not sure what this guy is doing, but with the weakness at the bottom of our league this season it currently doesn't matter
5) Lay Down the Law -- selling the big guard was a good move in her situation. Should be able to hold on to the 5 spot and a favorable relegation match
other) Blue Vikings and Caerbannog -- continue to match up evenly with Trap Godz and Most Dope
bot) Lebron -- soon to not be a team

I don't see these standings changing much the rest of the way other than Visionaries falling and DHS rising. But as a league we've had few injuries at all this season and that could definitely throw a wrench in things!

Ladies in BB always fun and good to know we got some diversity in the communities... I always wondered what does a girl or woman (depending on age) look like if she's into BB... is she a gamer? a young athlete? maybe a little tom boyish... etc... i'm sure the league will have fun knowing they have a female amongst them... just dont be rude
