and then there were five:

ATL the Hawks host the Bruins, an NBBA squad ranked 10th in the country

Ron Swanson hosts Rocket Science, an NBBA squad ranked 8th in the country

Window Lickers visit Natelio, a DIII squad (11-2 in their league and 7-1 in the PL we both compete in)

Tucumcari hosts Beware of Dogs, a DIII squad (12-1 in their league)

Visionaries play at South Stags, a DIII team with a record of 8-5 in the same league as Beware of Dogs

Predictions?

At a glance, i would say our Big 8 representatives have got their work cut out for them on Thursday.

i have a lot of respect for Natelio, and they will have HCA.

Tucumcari has the HCA and, frankly, a better squad than Beware of Dogs --

Visionaries cruise, if they choose . . .

Good luck to all. Very impressive to be playing in the Cup in the All Star week -- that is certainly one of my markers of a successful season.

Nice write-up Hassan!

Darn, Natellio looks like a fine team. I've been sitting on several million since the beginning of the season, mostly doing some training and saving some money for next season (after Peluin promotes). I guess it's time to add some salary if I want to keep this Cup run rolling.

This has been the easiest cup run I've ever had. I could have had more bots in the beginning (I get really paranoid about d5er's throwing CTs), but not facing anyone above mid-tier D3 by the all-star break is pretty lucky.

That said, I don't have a lot of minutes left and league is my priority so we'll just have to see what happens. Good luck everyone!

A lot of my 26-30 minute games this season have been due to blowout.
However, sometimes I also run the "PeLCD" blank lineup (dress players, don't set them in spots in the lineup, and use "Let Coach Decide" substitution). You don't get to pick where your players play, but there are a lot more substitutions -- most teams overall play slightly better due to less fatigue, and you can get better minutes distribution, but training is hard.

You might want to consider joining the USA Offsite forum where there are lots of helpful people! If you aren't already a member, that is.

i thought that way once -- i had my opponent in a corner because he had squandered his best players getting to the second Cup game of the week -- but after he played his normal squad (and beat me) i remembered All-Star week is a good week to train Game Shape.

And the Visionaries' starters only play 30 minutes a game because the team is so much &^%^&%# better than his opponents in this league.

If i were you? congratulate yourself on a great Cup run, train some youngsters, save your starters, TIE, and get ready for Saturday.

Emerging from the carnage, alive and kicking, preparing for Round 9, the Sweet Sixteen:

Visionaries get a reminder of their past and a vision of their future as they host the Bruins.

Window Lickers will see how quickly their newbies have grasped The System as they visit Liberty and Power.

Good luck to both.

Visionaries aren't the only team trying to promote this season...
