So at the end of week 3, how is everyone doing to start the season?

* My arena is at 9.4k, so should comfortably reach the goal of 10k+ by the end of the season.
* As the majority of III teams are bots I'm easily on course for the playoffs.

We've also reached round 4 of the cup with 128 teams remaining. With only four bot teams left the majority of games are now human vs human, so there should be some interesting match-ups to watch next Thursday.

My season is going very good!

I’m 6-0 in the league so I am still on my target to go 22-0. I’ve still got a long way to go obviously and I have some pretty tough away games still to go. I have been keeping track on the other unbeaten teams in division 2. Galaxy Walkers, Roaring Lions and T20 Cricketers are all looking good so far.

I’m obviously still in the cup but not sure for how much longer. I face a division 3 team in the next round who look beatable with my reserves. I’ll still be using the cups games to build up enthusiasm. I’m also surprisingly 3-0 in BBM which a nice little extra on the season.

I have also been able to expand my arena a little this season. Still got a few thousand lower tier seats I want to put in but they’re expensive. I’ll be seeing if I can add any more seats during the season. Although I am in a better financial position than I was at the start of the season so it’s looking good.

Finally, I’m still working with js8 with the u21s and, although not winning the NT election, I have been in contact with Vycka to work closer to the NT team so my knowledge of the game is getting better.

Hmm, not that well. 6th right now in the real EBBL. The blue side being the virtual division 2. (Just kidding fellas.) With an aging team its hard to see where improvement can come, but even the 6th best team on the red side should be good against the weaker conference. (Ok, maybe not kidding, hehe)

Interesting draw in the cup (interesting to me, maybe not to anyone else.) KK Alytus who I last played in the season 18 Div iii.14 playoffs. He beat me easily in the semi before winning the title against another team thats still around, new jersey2. That game was on the 28th of January, 2012. So probably not just my team thats aging.

What's also interesting (to me, maybe not to oh you get the idea) is that I noticed on the league page for that season the Wasps led the league in steals and blocks, which we've done quite often since.

Doing fine, guess my goals are to figure out my goals, the team is probably gone now so I think doing what I did many years ago with Innes may be something I look to do again. Maybe try and win the tournament from D2... a few thoughts really.

I don’t really know what I’m doing with my team if I’m honest so it’s hard to evaluate where I’m at. I wanted to save money this season in case a couple of English HOF’s became available, I’d tank and look to train them but that didn’t happen. Instead the competitor in me decided to buy a couple of players to try compete again, but I don’t have the resources to pay the sort of wage bill Zalgiris is… so now I’m at crossroads of not saving as much money as I’d like or being able to compete

Going as expected, comfortably mid table with one of my stars still out injured, so can't complain.

Somehow managed to do my lineup for last nights cup game, not save it, and then field my full strength team instead of my backups and now my starters have 100+ minutes, I mean I'll take the money but I didn't expect to win haha.

My main trainees have popped every week too so far, been a good start to my comeback all in all.

Bit pissed off that I couldn’t beat Tide of Fire with the same tactic, home advantage and extra effort albeit a slight deficit in game shape.
Pondering what to do next - will be interested to test Gully’s theory over the next few weeks!

I was slightly surprised you lost that too if I’m honest

7/8 wins for the blue conference tonight. Maybe the blue side is stronger than you give credit for

From an outside point of view the EBBL appears to be in an interesting place now where the are a few teams that are very close. Tuesday threw up a few ‘shock’ results and we’ve seen more tonight. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks.
