+1. Very thorough post, FoxMustangs.

I was a bit afraid of the salaries in this league when I first scouted. Now that I have dipped my toes into the D.3 waters, I feel like I can compete this season regardless of a lower team salary. I noticed how tight the competition is here and LOVE it! xD

Bring on the tight games and good sportsmanship! I want to wish everyone good luck this season and may your team be injury-free! I feel like key injuries will play a major part in the final outcome of our league.

Real competition usually starts by the end of the season when all of the teams are out of the cup and everyone's form is strong or proficient. Now form and cup participation are huge equalizers, so it's good to get early wins in close matchups.

What a rough start to the season. In the 4 games I've played my starters in (3 league and 1 cup), I've lost by 2, won by 1, lost by 5, and lost by 2. I'm gonna get ulcers if this keeps up. :-D And get demoted.

Congrats

Congratulations!

Wow you guys never talk! Let's see some healthy, competitive smack talk next season!

Anyways, I will post Division III.3's Total Season Receipts. Looks like I had a great first season! I made the playoffs with a very low team salary and took home the trophy in Gate Receipts!!

Fear and Loathing: $ 2 535 037
New York Dragons: $ 2 347 326
Mad Kow: $ 2 341 536
Dog Say Woof: $ 2 278 888
Flint Tropics: $ 2 272 447
Fox Mustangs: $ 2 263 241
Los Angeles Dragons: $ 2 179 950

You outperformed teams that had a much higher salary than yours. That's always a good sign.

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.

Some seasons it's pretty loud in here, but not the last few ones.
This year Great 8 was very competitive, the 6th team probably would have made the PO if they played in the Big 8.
So this was a good year for some surprises, congrats on grabbing the opportunity to get into the play-offs. Now keep it up, as the leagues tend to even up pretty fast.

We just barely survived a major scare from the Dragons, who have a very good defensive team. Saving some enthusiasm was definitely a plus. Now on to the next round.

Good lucks to all the teams that are still playing for something!
