Hey Guys!

Welcome newcomers and returning vets. This will be my 3rd season in II.3 and all I can say about my experience so far is that this division is wacky, it's very balanced and not very top heavy. Any team can win on any given night. It takes exceptional management decisions to promote from II.3. I'm not sure if we have any true tankers this season, so it may very well be more competitive then ever.

The gap between d3 and d2 is still huge! With 210k, KK Borovo has a winning roster in most canadian d3...

Nothing really, you're pretty set to go in d2. However your key players are quite old and your team is far from balanced (many d2 level teams can exploit you). Your arena could use a bit of an upgrade but its not terribly behind. You get promotion bonus for attendance until ASG, so take advantage of that.

Edit: You also landed in Great 8 which is the much tougher conference. You can survive a season with your current roster + 1 purchase most likely, but those old guys have got to go.

At the beginning of last season The Hounds wrote a paragraph about the history of the four teams promoting to Naismith. I've decided to do the same thing for the 5 teams that come into Div. II.3 this season.

Coming from Div. III.4, jk704 is making their D2 debut. Bluejays has been managing the team for 4 complete seasons now. Last season, Piotr Lużyński led jk704 to 22-0, but the streak was cut short when North York H_ L3V3L came back from a 16 point deficit to beat jk704 in the semis. Due to some 'botification' though, jk704 is playing in D2 in Season 25. With three players on their roster with Naismith starter salaries but everyone else worth less than 15k a week, jk704 will probably make some roster moves during the beginning of the season. With a decent sized arena, jk704 really has the potential to bring the ruckus in the Great 8.

It's taken KK Borovo 5 seasons in Div. III.3 to finally be crowned champion and be promoted to D2. They made the playoffs every season they were in III.3. KKB lost only one game last season and it was to the Trenton Golden Hawks, the team they faced in the finals. KKB got revenge and beat the Golden Hawks in three games. pop21 is not a fan of transferring his players. The franchise has been led by the same guys over several seasons, Lovrinšek, Ilkka, Echicht, Coates... the names have definitely become familiar to the people of Borovo, but pop21 is going to have to make a few changes if he really wants to bring the ruckus.

In only two full seasons The Lynx are already in D2. The quickest riser of this seasons promoters. Lynx Arena can only hold 8360 fans, but that's expected with such a young team. Another thing that's expected from such an early promoter is an upset the previous season, but The Lynx only lost 1 game last season. They currently only have 6 players on their roster, and one of them is up for transfer, but The Lynx do have the base for a D2 roster. It's hard for a team to last when they had such a rapid promotion, so I question whether The Lynx have brought the ruckus along on their quick ascent. Gil_P has proven he's a great manager though, so anything can happen.
