Yikes. A forfeit in the finals, that's a first for me.

Hopefully everything is ok and you just screwed up your lineup or decided not to set it.

Perhaps a method to the madness
no injured players - Enthus used by opposition
Ready for games 2 AND 3?

I decided not to set it. I figured GM wouldn't mind the forfeit since he seems to be training GS/STA/FT. I'll be training stamina so it didn't inconvenience me any. We still got arena revenue, which covers everything else important.

As for why I did it, my 6 players were already each between 38 and 45 minutes. There was no way to prevent my already poor GS from getting worse without a forfeit. This improves my odds from 0% to 0.001%. I really don't think I'm underestimating those figures. I'd literally eat a hat and a baseball bat if I won - and I'll be trying as hard as I can to make that happen.

youtube it after you are done. I am really surprised by extra effort used by GM. Fully expected you to tank so you can actually take control over minutes in a scrimmage with last minute transfers for that. Good job, the first game went about as well as it could for you

Yep. I think I stretched that idiom too far though. I'd eat a hat, with a fork and knife, but I'm not sure about a baseball bat. Maybe a mini novelty one, blended extremely fine.

Looking forward to the eating of the hat, but would have better if you didn't have to. You really outplayed me and you deserved it. One hour before the game saturday I changed crunch time to normal...bad idea. Today one hour before the game i change from look inside and GDP of inside/fast to base, no predictions. So three 'great moves' and I open the door for the victory. You really had no business winning this but pulled it off and 'hats off' to you....

True, true. Stajan did get me this time...season isn't all at a loss though. Beating you in that heartbreaker and hearing you whine about was quite the consolation.

As much as I'd like to say I out-managed you, I really didn't. I just hit big time on a complete guess. I was actually set to inside ISO (guaranteed to not work) and outside/slow minutes before tipoff. I hated GDP before the game and I still hate it now. On principle, I'd prefer things like this to never happen. General randomness is fine but I hate GDP luck so much.

As far as general randomness/luck goes, looks like I benefit a bunch there too. I managed to dominate both 4th quarters in my wins with my 6 player roster and low stamina somehow. My FT% and FT advantage and low turnovers are also weird.

Feels dirty. I'm obviously happy I get to compete in B3, though. Totally unprepared for it but if I get to the knockout stage I will try to put together a great team.
