and WTF? a new player taking over a div 3 bot team?? i havent seen that happen b4..

Look at III.6 we got 2 bots turned new player

Don't think so boys, surely that is premature, think about it.. Get 300K when you start, no roster, and they are all demoting. At this stage unless you are finals you are not making or spending any money.. It is good to see if there are DIII teams going to new franchises then BB must be filling the DIV teams in OZ right??

Congratulations Brett on an easy easy win, and Beasts you lucky bastard, barely scraped through.

interestingly both winners were favorites and both got smashed with early injuries.
Cal Moodie for the Blaze
Runcio for the beasts.
Both starters... just goes to show the great depth that both teams have to be able to hold on to a close win in Neebers case, and to continue to smash a weak opponent with a lower effort.

My money is, I think, pretty safely put on the blaze.

But i wish you both good luck. :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence mate, look forward to the finals Neebs!

Replacing botted teams goes through in a very specific and easily observable pattern. I have studied it a lot in India and it is the same in Australia. First rule is they wont replace botted teams in division I or II either. They start in division III.1 and move across the divisions one at a time replacing each bot with a new player. III.6 must have happened recently.

III.6 ol stars (196454) were created on 19/10.
III.6 patz kingz (196490) were created on 20/10.
then through the other divisions until the wave reached your league.
III.12 The Flexitones (38798) were created on 22/10.
now III.13 has a new team as well Aussie All Stars (38747) were created on 22/10.
Once III.16 is full the wave will sweep through division IV but I'm not sure what the trigger is to stop division IV and go back to III. Around IV.20 still has humans but around IV.30 it is all bots.

However doing it at this stage of the season is really bad. Most new teams don't stick and those division III bots would have been replaced by the most active and best division IV managers that didn't win their championship. On the other side if it was a team that was to be relegated it doesn't make much difference except instead of having a bot pick randomly in the draft you have a human who may drop in at the last minute and steal the best player in the draft. That is really bad for you guys.

Intriguing purchase Mr. Ranga, a young strong combo guard, I look forward to seeing the newly defined Rangas in action!

Yeah it is an intriguing purchase.
He's definitely a SG, just last owner played him out of position, probably out of necessity.
Will be interesting to see how my new team can work together thats for sure.


Still some decent wiggle room in my Salary cap yet, and I'm not done buying yet. :)

looks like ranga is gonna actually try next season :D

with your front court in place, if you get the right back court you will be real hard to beat!

Well done Neeber good win. Now go on and that the championship so there isn't such a log jam here in the Big 8. Go Beasts!

That was my title shot, spent a lot this season and fell short, still it was fun having such a good team that I could make the top 16 in the cup (with a nice draw that also helped). Next season will be hardcore training but the season after watch out, I will be going for it again.

interesting tactic from the beasts in game 1. will be fun to see how the Blaze respond in game 2!

Congrats to CRE for getting the job done, commiserations to Stazz. Please still be a part of this league mate! I really hope you get the best player in the draft and can bounce back.. dont forget to drop ticket prices a bit b4 next season, as u will suffer a relegation penalty!

disappointed Spartans won, would rather have an active team in the league, than a bot to start the season.. unless of course wolfy comes back, then delighted :D

Interesting that Neeber starts to train Len... during the playoff finals. lol
