Yeah, that is the brutal part about the end of a run. The oldies sell for dirt pretty much, curious to see which route you take!

Eugene-Register guard was a constant for so long up here and I believe he went bot before demoting. Got to imagine that record will be nearly impossible to touch.


Yea Hassan was a good dude, was sorry to see him go. I think he fell into the trap of never wanting to run at a deficit so he managed to maintain a good but not great team for a really long time.

Hazards to Society
Thought I could do a little early power rankings now that teams have a few games played. I decided to put teams into tiers. Ordering within tiers is very loose.

Apex Tier
Atelier (3-0) – I propose a leaguewide CT pact to prevent another double. It will benefit all of us.

High-Tier
Irvine Anteaters (3-0) – New purchase of a national team player should put them in position to be Atelier’s number one contender.
Triple Double (2-1)
F.Day Internet Lovers Club (3-0) – A 114 point victory in the last game of season 55 gave them the at large promotion spot and they’ve been undefeated so far.

Mid-Tier
Delta 9 (1-2) – Hardest schedule of any team to start the season.
Jim Almeidas Janitor Crew (2-1)
Wasted Potential (2-1)
Delaware 87ers (1-2)
10inch Vertical (1-2) – Also a difficult first 3 games.
Work in Progress (1-2)

Low-Tier
Telecasters (1-2)
Arizona Cacti(0-3) – Tough start to the season for a team that is most likely better than their record.
U.K Nuggets (1-2)
Flash Mashers (2-1) – Down to only 3 competitive players although two of those could be considered the best player in the league.
BallHoggersFTW (0-3)

Inactive
Ice Man (1-2) – Inactive since 12/8

Anyone I overrated? underrated? If I have time further in the season I'll add rankings and some stats.

Nah. We aren't in the same category with 1billion salary IRV team. This cannot be true.
Nice idea with tier lists, sounds fun.

This is more effort than anyones put into Power Rankings in the 6 seasons I've been up here so well done!

I'd personally say Irvine with that purchase is up to the top tier with me as solid championship contenders.

Delta 9 for me is in High Tier, he's a solid manager with a very solid team and is one big move away from contention. He's very likely going to end the season with 14+ wins so the 1-2 record won't sit for long.

I'd also move telecasters up into the Mid Tier as well. I doubt he finishes under 11 wins this season but it's possible.

I don't know enough yet about the new promoters to really rank y'all accurately but those look about right.

Nice write up. I’ll enjoy my brief stay in the top tier as I shuffle my team around. There is no way I am sustaining 900K in salaries for more than a week.

Great write-up!

My only goal this season is to avoid ending up in the relegation slots which was my team's fate the last three times I was up here. Spent a little money this time to get some depth. Hopefully it works without me going bankrupt or needing a fire sale.

Yeah I started scouting out your team cause I noticed we had a TV game next week. You've got some nice pieces but it's sad that they're past their prime. Could have really made some waves if they were just a few years younger. Wishing you the best of luck staying in the playoff picture. It's a tough conference on this end this year. Lots of competitive teams.

Delta 9 for me is in High Tier.


I agree. Delta 9 was always the one I was worried about after Apex last season.

Also - RIP to Arizona Cacti. Crazy that a team that good could start out 0-4. Played against stronger effort in both home games so far. Crazy stuff.
