Great draw for me... not.

After luckily drawing a Bot last round, now I have drawn current League and Conference competitor The Winnerz.

We will see how my team of trainees go.

Ive got what looks like on the surface a winnable cip game.

151 ranked Div 3 team Chirny Lakers who appear to have a few game shape issues.

(196443)

Double OT win for me with the Patty Neal + scrubs lineup....and then drew a bot for the next round - yeee ha

I drew Got no reason.... so my run is over I feel

Bookies would have taken a hiding tonight if theyd been fielding markets on The Battlers Cup games, as there were precious few upsets.

147th ranked Div III team, Team Lordy beat 34th ranked Div II team Hadders Heroes (Hadders being one of this countries most experienced Managers)

104th ranked Div III team Ballarat Bandits beat the Nations 10th ranked team, Doncaster Flames who are in Div II and were on their home court.

Two ABBL teams being Monkey Business and Persepolis Immortals got knocked out, going down to other ABBL teams.

Couple of games went to overtime

98th ranked Go Aussie lost to fellow Div III team the 185th ranked Hammersley Hammerheads in double overtime by 8 points

288th ranked Div IV team Lavington Nighthawks went down to the 112th ranked Div III team Carlton Suns by 12 points in double overtime.

220th ranked Carlton Suns beat fellow Div III team the 250th ranked The Vipers in double overtime by 2 points

First round Baxter Bogan slayers, Kim Jong Ilyasovas, cup run finally come to an end against fellow Div III team the Piss Cutters.


Hoping the next round sees several ABBL teams facing off against each other, whilst I get drawn a DivIV computer run team

Up to 4 or 5 AbbL team couple leave if they dont take things seriously enough. My team could be one of them as I play a very good Cunning Linguists. See what happens I guess, as its too early to say.

I drew a team who appears similarly ranked to me, but the poor guy copped 2 2 week injuries to his starters, he only has limited numbers in his squad, so will be an interesting week for him no doubt.

#10 WA IS A DUMP is away at #47 ACT Blaze
#6 hopelessly addicted is away at #50 West Adelaide Bloods
#21 JW City Bulls is away at #12 Urmummas
#8 Yarra Park Bears is away at #48 Cunning Linguists
#43 Got No Reason is away at #41 Home Axis
#45 Fashion Victims is away at #40 That's How You Get Ants
#65 CROCKERS is away at #18 Billy Hoyles Boys

Game of the round: #1 Whitebeard is away at #5 Guanzheng Goldfish

Whitebeard is tanking but has nothing to lose here.

Plus 1s to you and Petevas

Excellent write up and observations

This week was such an uneventfull round that I missed what you and Petevas have both spotted, that being this coming week could be a round of upsets.

That said I would have preferred to see several ABBL teams (myself excluded) drawn to play each other

Got No Reason say they have been banned. Adding that they have not been online since 21/9 it seems that may be correct.

Well a ten second glance reveals why, seems some banditry was afoot 9/10/2013. Also a deeper dig reveals some other interesting things. Well done by whoever spotted it.

He drafted Ivan Ryder and got a $1.2 million head start on every other division IV team but was greedy.
