Beyond confused with this week. How’d vegas beat mambas then turn around and lose pretty good to Fenway Flyers. I’ll have to dissect the matchups more, but jeesh this league really is that tight.

Also friendly reminder I was a top defense in the league last year - and admittedly trained probably 50% defense since then…. and my defense somehow looks inept now. Meanwhile, my offense was non-existent last year - I believe the worst in 3pt %, and 2nd from the bottom in regular FG%. And i somehow am a league leader in this regard, now. Make this make sense, please.

Also the league economy is way up now… I’m sure partially due to expense cutting but i do notice attendance and merchandise is up pretty big compared to earlier in the year. This is a trend I’ve noticed for multiple seasons that this last 3rd of the season these numbers spike a bit (i suppose similar to real life as playoffs approach), but curious if anyone else has drawn similar conclusions.

Fenway Flyers are an underrated team. Definitely not a team I’d want to play twice… glad I’m on the Big 8 side of the league.

I’ve been trying to improve our defense this year and it isn’t helping…. We’re the top team in my bbm tier otherwise I’d have thrown in the towel by now.

O believe me Fenway and my team have been doing battle for probably 5 or 6 seasons. There were seasons they were a top 2 team in the league running roughshod over most everyone. I’ve had 1-2 seasons where i had their number. And last season I think we were close but they were slightly better. It’s always neck and neck. But i meant it from the standpoint that Vegas has come on strong as probably the clear best team in our conference (despite the standings not reflecting that, to me they’re the most dangerous), so I Was shocked to see them lose to Fenway immediately after beating Mambas who is a clear top team as well.

I say all this knowing I barely beat Bench Mob and Urban Flow has the ability to take anyone down on any given night. It is a crapshoot. Just showing my respect to the work Vegas has done in short order.

It’s a very dynamic and unpredictable league. Never seen anything like it before honestly and I’ve been playing on and off for quite some time. Lot of supporters in this league and I’d say all the user teams in this league have a pretty good grasp of what they’re doing with team management and strategy. I don’t want to be relegated but it’s not looking good for the peppers I’m afraid. Aging roster with little to show for it. A little salty that they made the 5th place change (not that it really matters for me at this point.) to a relegation game between 5 and 7 place teams. That change was done a while ago, but I still don’t really like it. Allows for a lot of movement between leagues... Can be a good or bad thing I guess.

Yes! i played back in 2010-2011 and returned Nov 2022 and was caught off guard by the relegation rules change for 5th place. I also disagree with it. Too much relegation.

1 champion and 5 guaranteed relegations… crazy stuff… if you’re a 20+ win team or league runner-up, you’re pretty much guaranteed a promotion but still. …Way more teams coming down than there are going up, which makes sense obviously but doesn’t really seem proportionate.

I know that I was losing 13k and am now making 13k after some arena adjustments wonder if that makes a slight difference. I also completely agree that 5th place teams should be safe from relegation. It makes a difference, especially in a competitive league like this.

I've been in here for too damn long 😂

Have been trying to keep my homegrown core, but more and more it seems like I won't be able to get over the D3 hump with all of em. Just trying to stick around this year....I was also (pleasantly) surprised about the Vegas result, but yeah, I think most teams in the Great 8 can win a matchup any given night, it's a dogfight in here. Big matchup with Urban Flow looming...and I'm excited to see what happens in this top 2 showdown saturday
