his team is crap and he is a bad manager. He indeed had HCA. He still needed to CT my TIE while I had a couple of 1k scrubs fielding for 42 min together in order to pull a close win. Not to mention I left 2 starters at home for that game.

ah, may this son of a b**** get knocked out next round and lose both his league games, i'd feel avenged then.

anked 16 spots higher


always annoys me when i read this.

the ranking system is broken , the bb's have pretty much said it is , it goes on past cup performances , then on past league results . thus its broken.

in the last 2 seasons a strong div 2 could get an abbler in the first round both times and lose both games.
this would then cause him to be ranked lower then a shit div 3 team who made it to the 6th round both seasons and only versed bots.

a revamp of the ranking is on the bb's to do list for about 4 to 5 seasons now , but with all the issues in this great game id say its way down on the things to do list

No need to run

You are correct and to be honest I was being a little facetious with my comment

That said, perhaps going CT against better teams in the cup as he did against PeaceNroll, might be exactly what he did last season thus enabling him to get his ranking so high

Ranking system is definately weighted too heavily on cup performances.

Perhaps it should take into consideration (or give some weighting to) the combined DMI of the most expensive 10 players from a team, ladder position, the actual league their in (i.e. ABBL, Div2 , Div 3 etc), rankings of teams they are playing and how they perform against them, 13 week history of all games giving extra weighting to past 4 games etc, attendance figures at games

With a little over half of us left, how are we feeling about our Round 3 Cup match. I am feeling confident that I should get through.

I am pretty confident I should win. Though with TIE(me) vs GFI (him) I could lose. *shrug*

I'm in a similar position. Got through in the last game against a team using CT while i played TIE. The next team is ranked lower and has much less depth, so i should be able to progress even playing TIE again. My only concern will be there U21 Australian Rep - PG. However aside from him he has only got one player with a salary over 10k.

So, my bigs should flat out dominate. Won the boards in my last game 67-28 so i'll be looking to replicate that :)

I haven't ever really had much interest in the cup anyway. So I just put in players that need minutes and play TIE.

So can't really be bothered with a win or loss. The league is usually where I compete, and I've got a competitive team so certainly playing to win the league games in preference to the cup.

I can't see the point of the cup at all really.
