There was no game from me at Amenra because I knew static would send everything he could. Right now I cannot compete with him on his ground that's for sure, and I needed training time for Gaethofs (whose training is my primary objective).

On the other hand I could lose by too much of a margin, thus I sent in 3 starters, I expected to lose by less than 30 points, which didn't occur because of my SG's early injury.

I think that I have let my chance slip through my hands - defeats at Ventola and vs gringalets were mistakes from me, the type of ones that will cost me dearly in the money time.

Nevertheless I still have a strong squad, I should get without problem through the cup games this week, and then we'll see.

Guys,

There is something i don't quite understand :

Suppose the same team wins the championship AND the cup.
In that case, is there a second Belgian team that gets to participate in BB tournament (for example the other playoff finalist), or is it only one team then ?

I thought in that case, there was only one team to go to Buzzrbeater Best.

BUT :

For example, when you look at Germany last season, Augustiner 75 won the championship AND the cup and ESV Laim was finalist in the playoffs.

I should think that in that case, only Augustiner goes to the BB, right ?

WELL THIS WAS NOT THE CASE however, since also ESV Laim went to Buzzerbeater best (you can see it if you go to Buzzerbeater Best there are two german teams), so how can that be explained ?
Becasue for Belgium on the other hand, last season Vottem was the only Belgian team to go to Buzzerbeater best although we had the same situation as in Germany, but the result for teams in Buzzerbeater Best was different than what happened in Germany, 2 teams for Germany, only 1 team for Belgium !

How can that difference between Germany and Belgium be explained, isn't it the same for all countries ?
I don't understand why the difference.

Anyone knows the answer ?

Laim won the B3 years ago and therefore is automatically qualified for the B3 every season.

There is one other case where this could have happened - actually happened to me once: there was one team needed to make the number in B3 and in this case the lucky loser is chosen following the highest world ranking.

Laim won the B3 years ago and therefore is automatically qualified for the B3 every season.

I took a look and I see that ESV Laim won the B3 in season 11, this is 21 seasons ago !

So when a team wins the B3 once, that team is always automatically qualified for the B3 forever after, really ??

Even if that team degradates to division II, they will keep participating in B3 forever ?

Well, if that's the case, then this means that the B3 tournament will always keep having more and more participants.

Because every season, there might be a new winner of the B3 (not necessarily every season), so when there's a new winner, this also means an extra participant for the next seasons, so it will always keep adding up like that...

Actually, i did not know that, as i thought that the B3 tournament had a fixed amount of participants, but this is clearly not the case.

Anyway, that's a great incentive for every team to try to win the B3 (although it is hard as hell to win that !) , because that way, you are always assured of some extra money every season, if you win some games ofcourse...

Well well well, did you guys see the result of the all-star game ?

After many seasons and many victories for the red side team, now this time it is the blue side all-star team
that wins the all-star game !!

Could this be the tell-sign for a change in dominance for the blue side ?

We'll see....

I don't see how we could possibly face and win against Amenra now ; well to be honest, there is always a way, but now money's in short supply.

About the ASG, suffice it to say that the best skilled player in BBBL, Skret (I must confess that Neudt isn't THAT far though :p) - understand the one with the most skill points, stamina and free throws exluded, isn't even selected and you know this is all very random :)

But I am rather confident that this is Amenra's season this time - still I don't understand how he manages to hold on with theses wages, I for me, am struggling with much less.

still I don't understand how he manages to hold on with theses wages, I for me, am struggling with much less.

In my view, AmenRa has taken a risk with all these wages, and decided to go "all-in" for the title this season. He knows also that these wages are not sustainable in the long term, but i think he only did this to get the title this season, and that after the season is finished he will make some moves with some players, to lighten this wages burden.
So as i see it, it is a risk he took just to get the title this season, something like an all-or-nothing bet in a race for he coming title. I'm pretty sure that he won't keep the salary total for the next season. Because it would be near impossible to keep playing with such a salary total.

But ofcourse, there's one thing that can't be underestimated, and that's the amount of merchandising he collects each week, especially thanks to players such as Neudt.

Neudt is in Steamrollers' roster.

Amenra has 2 NT players, which are regular starters, but Vasseur's wages are relatively light. He also has a Bosnian NT player, but I don't know how interesting it is to have a foreign NT player compared to a national one.

He has certainly one of the highest merchandising around, but been so that's hard to sustain. Especially I don't think he has much more in reserve after having spent so much :p
