Looks like a much more competitive Great 8 conference this season heading into ASB.

Can't believe I got bounced out of playoffs by ~50 point differential. Shoulda crunch timed the last game to lock in that 4th seed. Worst case, if I still lost, my boys would be heading into relegations gassed out, so probably better that I didn't.

Reminiscent of last season's Big 8 finish where the final playoff spot and 6th place were separated by 9 points total in season Point Differential (and where my team took their foot off the gas in a season-ending blowout to give back 17 points in the final quarter).

But what I really can't believe is the 21-1 team just got knocked out by an 11-11 team with a season-long +14 PD. Both teams even played at the same effort level!

Also, that Raleigh-Dallas game was a total barnburner. 166-162?!

Yeah, it was a really weird finish to the season and an opening night of playoff games. I can't believe Deportivo Saprissa lost. Burlington CT'd me in the last regular season game to fight for that 4th playoff spot. It looks like his missed gamble may result in relegation. Hank the Bank is going to win his 4th straight relegation series.

Madness all over the place.

On the positive side, you're still going to promote due to your record.

I don't know, We'll see.

Not sure how that works exactly.

It will be interesting if I do promote, since it may force me to decide if I use my extra millions to be relevant in T2, or just
go with flow and save it for the right time.

Since 5 teams relegate from each league every season, it opens up an extra 4 spots for promotion into D2, on top of those teams that win their league. Those 4 teams are determined by order of record, with PD serving as the tiebreaker. You have the 5th best record in D3, so if any of the 4 teams ahead of you win their league (which seems highly probable), you'll be in D2 next season.

I wish I had your dilemma regarding extra millions. I don't think I stand a chance of staying in D2. My roster is poor - by D2 standards - and I have about a million dollars right now.

How do You know I have the 5th best record in D3 ?

If you have poor roster by D2 standards, and it's better then mine right now, then I have even less of a chance.... ha ha ha

I have about 6 mil, I spent like one mil in players and in staff to keep a strong income and keep the team competitive.

I didn't want to promote, so I looked up the records in each league before the last regular season game to see where I would rank for bot promotion, if I didn't win the league. I was high enough that I figured it would happen, so I bought Hawthorne. When I looked at the rankings in D3, you were 5th.

You've been in D2 for about 10 seasons. You know better than I do what it takes to compete. I'm sure you can use your 6 million to put together a better roster than I have.
