Hello everybody, its a new season in IV.54. I would like to welcome all of the new teams joining us. Congratulations to Rallies for winning Promotion last season. Anyway, this league has been pretty quiet in the forums. So, I created a new thread to maybe spark some discussion throughout the season. Here are the very rough power rankings I put together today.
Great 8
1. Arzstotzka BC- 2nd place last year. 2 time reigning conference champion, good defense
2. Long Beach Knights- 3rd place last season, top heavy ok roster, good offense
3. Taipei Bulls- top Defense, Lots of New Faces, Beat me twice in regular season, lost in playoffs, great defense
4. New York Knicks- 5th last season really top heavy ok rosterAttack The Rim- Last Place in D iv last year, weak roster
5. Motivate- 4th place last season, top heavy ok roster, Selling best player
6. Attack The Rim- Last Place in D iv last year, weak roster
7. Beantown Celtics- Very weak roster, took over mid season last year

3. Pope Greyhounds - top heavy roster, very old and talented 6th place last year

Awesome thread. Hello everyone!

Hope to have some good games with y'all this season.

Yeah I blew up my front line after last season and finding a good new one is going to be a learning process. And given how badly LB Knights smoked me tonight - still a long ways away.

I cosign this! I like this ranking format!

Alright everyone, about a quarter of season 33 is over and it seems a clear pecking order has emerged. My team and the Junkyard Jammers seem firmly entrenched as the top teams. After some early losses Taipei Bulls and the Snake River Panthers have risen to the second tier of teams. Congratulations to the league as a whole for the progress in the USA tournament.

Fudgy , thanks for the commentary and for the kiss of death. If we go in the opposite direction, expect me to rave about how you will go undefeated.... I know you mentioned both of us, but I know how this thing works.... Good luck the rest of the season... really, I mean that.
