So we're down to the final four now. All I.1 teams, all bound for the playoffs (as things stand).

(/BBWeb/cup.aspx?countryid=4)

It looks like BC Törööö are the favourites to take their first-ever Canadian Tournament title, although it's not impossible for there to be an upset.

BTW, half of this purpose is for me to semi-vent about my quarterfinal. How did I only score 69 points (41 in the first three quarters) playing motion with a strong outside offense vs an awful perimeter defense? (6039403) Good thing I didn't TIE.. who knows what might have happened.

Your game makes as much sense (only 69 points and winning by 14 while putting in more effort - is there now a man-to-man defense bug?) as my back-up shooting guard scoring as many points as laviolette (in previous games he decided he would refrain from scoring and just foul).

i would say i am the slight favourite as i have hca (plus) and will send my top lineup out wednesday (negative). in any case, good game to add to our rivalry history.

good luck to the other teams!

It looks like we have the playoff attitudes to choose from. I think it's unfair to not allow the Abes to TIE.

Interesting. Introducing the playoff enthusiasm at this point in the tournament smells like a bug to me.

Edit: I take that back, it's in the rules now that the last two rounds of the tournament use playoff enthusiasm.

Yeah, we had a news post about this at the beginning of the season. I hope it doesn't catch anyone off balance...

I remembered the bit about the playoffs, but not the late cup rounds. It did catch me off-balance, although wouldn't have changed how I planned my week... is an archive of the news posts in the works?

It's certainly not a bad idea, and it may make it's way into the game in the future.

Well I'm quite happy to have made it so far into the tournament (even if I had to crunch it at times) and I'm not ashamed at all to have lost at this point.
A 12 pt loss against Evergreen Terraceists (without crunching I might add) is a very respectable exit in the quarterfinals of the national tournament.
Now I can concentrate a lot more on league games and the upcoming playoffs so beware II.1 !

Yeah, I'll never forget that you crunched me. One of these days I'll get my revenge. ;-)

Congrats on the win.

I was trying to go all the way, not to only win this game. You wanted it more, at least in settings

My enthusiasm was getting ready to face Torooo.

Good luck both in the final

And congrats to jbmcrock (I'm tired of typing out those umlauts) on advancing... I'm glad I didn't try too hard to win, because it would have been pointless.

Should be a fun final!
