Definitely feels like there are less teams in d2 that are promotion-ready as you really need to go all in to get up to NBBA. And because the managers are hypothetically stronger they know when the right time to go all in is.

But our average salaries in this league are $340k right now. I don’t know about you, but I ran 340k salaries for much of last season and was barely breaking a profit. I would be shocked if you went to a d2 league and saw that kind of profit margin being run league wide. Without taking the time to run the numbers I believe this is a very competitive group compared to the typical d3 league and it means all of us are worse off.

Bad for business! Someone tank!

First season championship is impressive, welcome! Now it's time to make some money and build that arena.

Let me ask you this question for future memory. I was going to offer you a mutual PON agreement for the conf final, as we both would have needed to overcome HCA in finals & I only care about promoting, not about making finals. Would you have accepted & trusted me to honor it?

This used to be common practice in the olden days, but I heard the young'uns consider it immoral.

Meanwhile, I want to register that this season reunites me with a friend of *many* NBBA battles, wozzvt and his Burlington Mountain Goats. It's only because neither of us is playing with our OG accounts that this record isn't coming through.

I don’t know if I would have trusted you haha. Nothing personal. The stakes were too high! When I was the Belarus U21 coach someone said we should both TIE and then he normaled me and I lost.

Hey Dragons, it looks like our Utopia teams are in the same division now too. How many leagues can you damage my promotion chances in?

I'm getting 60-season-old flashbacks of repeatedly losing to you already.

This appears to be our rivalry history though: (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rivalry.aspx?team1=...) (hint: it ain't pretty for me)

Good luck!

I remember the Lake Merritt Arrows from back in the day. They were a big deal! I had an old account too. Don't think I made it out of D3 with that team though. Back in those days getting to D3 actually meant something.

I remember seeing the Arrows and Goats on the USA page along with King Drive Ballers, Chicago Bulls, Funky Town Fire, etc. back in the day. Also a few familiar names in here though I don't know exactly where from. Feel like I crossed paths with NY Dragons, Mighty Moose, Coolness Factor at some point along the way. Seems like a good group we got this season.

And of course, trainee injured in a morning scrimmage 2 days before season opener... shoulda known better than to play those Balkans! Game 1 goes to you Swift Chase

Side note, WTH did I do to deserve being rivals of both Coco and wozz???

At least it's disguised by the fact that the team ID have been assigned to some new teams.

It's interesting, in my mind I had gone bot in 2013 and stopped playing season 23, but apparently either I or some other magic kept the team alive until 2015. (Maybe I had prepaid for supporter?) I'm confident that by the time my daughter was born in 2014 I had given up on the game.
