Hello to all and welcome to Season 33. Firstly, congratulations go out to Lithuania BC on winning promotion back to the EBBL, we all wish you well in your attempts to become a regular EBBL outfit.

Next, congratulations to our four newly promoted teams who are competing in division II for the first ever time. The blue side receives Archllies from division III.11 whilst the red side welcomes Allll Stars, GINTARAS BC and TheMonstars. I will warn you, the league is extremely tough at the moment with both sides of the conference having experienced competent managers but you deserve to be here and we're all looking forward to competing against you. We also see the return of division II.2's born and bred, Bethnal Green Erks who was unfortunately relegated from the EBBL, it's good to have you back.

This season is another really tough one to call with both conferences getting stronger and stronger as the season's go on, with plenty of teams vying for promotion to the EBBL. On the blue side, BC Snaiperiai will be looking to continue where they left off last season with a 21-1 record whilst the Optic Fibres will be hoping for another successful campaign. Whetstone Wizards will be looking to recover from an ordinary campaign last time out whilst Doncaster Hawks will be aiming for a playoff spot for the fourth consecutive season. Bethnal Green Erks will look to dominate the league and head straight back to the EBBL. The red side once again welcomes the majority of the promoted teams after three teams were relegated from that side. Kotwa looks the best of the bunch and looks favourite to regain the top seed after losing out to Lithuania BC last time out whilst Southern European have improved their squad hoping to build on their 4th place finish in the previous campaign. Cambois Donkeys still look a huge threat with national team player, Ryan Duguid, tearing everyone apart and The Admirals is capable of having another good season. Allll Stars also looks ready to compete with the big boys and looks the best of the promoters to challenge for a playoff spot.

Will Bethnal Green Erks dominate the conference like Season 31? Will the blue side slaughter the red side in the inter-conference games again? How will the promoted teams fair, and can one surprise us all by mounting a serious title challenge? Will BC Snaiperiai only lose 1 game this season? But most importantly, WHO will be winning that £1 million to battle it out against England's best in the EBBL?

Good luck to all teams, I look forward to seeing you all writing on this forum throughout the season (it was again very sociable last season - same again this time round!) and when matching up against you within the next fourteen weeks. Let the games begin!

Note: as always, please feel free to vote on the poll for your winner

Salaries don't play😉
Missed today transfer dead line of very good PF / C, then screwed up line up and put player with SS 120 in deep reserve.
I thought I've got no chance, I'm gonna get smash today but I'm suprised by my players ones again.

Well, ready for a very competitive season. The Admirals is under a heavy restructuring apparently, hopefully he will stand strong --otherwise, we are going to be losing again against the blue side!

Happy also to see that there are 5 players of our division in the U21 England. Good for our teams future!

Also, glad to see that the list of highest scorers is still filled by well-known top players (Polius, Alvarez, Hamerski...). Where are the new guys we all signed?!

Yeah, my latest acquisition wasn't exactly planned for :D it was more like "yeah that aint never gna happen"........it did XD

My apologies to all on my inactivity on this forum this season. As every season, it's interesting to do a competition to see who the better conference is during the interconference games. So far there's been two sets of games - the first week was all square at 4-4 whereas the second week ended in favour of the blue side, 5-3.

So the blue side lead 9-7 at the moment, good luck to all teams in their games tomorrow.

Nice

Some interesting looking games this week 1 v 1, 3 v 2, 2 v 4....

A good test for the top red sides given 1-4 blue are all still in the Cup so will be juggling minutes.

OMG very unlucky last night . In last minute :-( Don't remember if I ever had +3 injury .

So after tonights fixtures, the blue side have swayed ahead by a score of 18-14 claiming six of the eight wins tonight. All star week is soon approaching too. One more thing to mention, good luck to all the teams still in the cup, getting that far is an excellent achievement.

Unlucky in draw and i dont think i'll get any further.
It time to concetrate on league and fight for promotion.
