Following through with your format. Also a shout out to TF, who repped us well by beating a DII.3 team.

NBBA - 0
II - IYF (Away), Machines (Home)
III - 0
IV - The entire Great 8, DEM
V - Phantoms, Dragons
VI - 0

Normally as the tourney goes on it feels like the entire league plays a D3 team. About two thirds of all the teams left should be D3 or better. Goes to show how lucky most of us got in comparison to IYF and Machines...do us proud!

Feel free to CT in the cup anytime you want!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that Eugene is playing a team in III.

For gameshape purposes. My starters usually play 35-39 minutes per game. Multiply that by two, and their GSs suffer. Unless I can find a way to make them sub more often... Maybe I can temporarily decrease all of my starters staminas to atrocious if that would help...

Massage Doc = free 80-85 minutes per week and still strong GS most of the season with a dash of proficient.

Massage doctor works wonders. I double start my starters and like azariah said, they tend to stay in 8 GS all season.

I do have a massage doctor (and have always had one), but from my experience, anything over 74 or so (or less than 50) causes a drop. I've even had an occasional GS drop in the 55-70 range, but I guess those are due to random factors. (I've also seen GS pops from less than 50)

Edit: And I trained GS last week, if anyones wondering how my players are mostly proficient after playing a lot of minutes. But I dont want to waste anymore training now that Im out of the cup.

Everyone loves a happy ending, so why would you not get a massage doctor?

So, some interesting results today. DRR loses the undefeated record against the Dragons, Rebels upset Phantoms on the road, I beat FatCurry in an insane OT game, Machines hold court against Technical Fouls, USA Elite blows out DC Dribble. Good luck if you're in the path of the hurricane btw. Hurricane Baluyot, that is. (Next year?)

Definitely.

Technical Fouls falling to Machines is pretty big when the guy seeded right below him, 10 inch, just beat Machines. The Great 8 seems to really be all about parity this season. There is no gigantic lead in the conference, and just one win or loss can result in your seed changing.

I'm impressed with what the Rebels did. I view that as a big upset. Dragons beating Dog River is without a doubt big, but how they did it is odd. Dragons get outclassed in the first half, then come out in the 2nd and blow out Dog River in the 3rd and 4th quarters? The Dragons coach bribing his players with hookers and blow seems to have paid off.

OT games are always exciting. Minutes become bizarre, but you're just happy to get the 'W' when all's said and done.
