What the heck is going on? NT goes for 3 OTs in scrimmage against NZ and U21 goes for 2 OTs in game against Switzerland. What's the chances of that happening. At least we got some good playing time for the younger guys out of it.

Roster is set of Season 31. I'm releasing Itaru Takasugi, with his skill set and at age 31 I don't see him making much of a contribution to the team. I will keep him on my watch list as we may need to pull him in when the core players start to significantly decline.

All the other players will stay on the team for season 31. I plan to hold the last roster spot open for now. There are 2 prospects I saw that are interesting.

Fumitake Nakata 23 Superstar Big, decent secondaries potential, is not ideal but we don't have many other options.

Kaname Tazuka 23 Superstar SF, 8 or higher on every skill.

Will contact both these managers.

I just noticed today that the Asia tournament is being played in Japan. I think we earned that from going the farthest in the consolation tournament of any Asia team.

I wonder if we get home court advantage????

For the first time since season 5 we have finished the first round of the Asia Tournament undefeated and finished 1st in our Pool. I think our team is probably as strong as its ever been right now and Game Shapes have continued to be pretty well managed by everyone the last 2 seasons. Thanks for everyone's contributions.

Good work dude. Ball for you.

I think (again... don't *know*) that part of the issue we've got with our U21s is that most people here are taking the "long view", which makes for some average U21 guys.

I'm pretty much up for another trainee now. I'd hazard a guess that this is about where Torii hangs up his training shoes.

I'm also ready to take on new trainees. I tried to get something in the draft but only picked up a PA. Will do the best with him for now. Will try again this year but its tough when you're draft near the end.
