I thought it was supposed to be released after 15 games? that would mean sometime around the middle of this week.

either way, I can't wait to see how far IV-6 drops, or if it's even possible to drop once you're down this low. OF NOTE in IV 6:

1) Spocker, who is the league leader and has the highest country rating, just was forced to sell players from debt. his current roster contains 3 players, none of which have a high enough salary to compete in V72 (my old league), much less here.

2) three teams have been placed in the great 8 by bot cleanup, and none of them is above 2250 in the USA rankings.

3) three of the 4 teams who were promoted from Division 5 (Muffin Men, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Dahlonega United) are having few problems holding solid middle-of-the-pack positions, and are a combined 27-15. They are all also among the league's top 6 in scoring defense. (4th, 6th, and 3rd respectively; could there be a connection?)

your league IS WEAK!

Right now if I'd do the same things as I am doing in IV.29 right now, I'd be...........8-6 right now.

to your first statement, see post 229 in this thread (on the previous page, I believe)(214659.229)

to the other statement, we've already discussed that, too, about 9 games or so into the season.(214659.212)

I was able to put 4 in there this year. Along with 2 in the three point contest which one of my boys won. 8 is a bit ridiculous.

League 4-26 has some OK teams but nothing to write home about. If I cannot win this season I will be very disappointed.

Thats right, 1 game, very close, Im excited to see the ranking... Not because mine is a tough league, just curious anyway, mine is def one of the worse ones out there, got lucky in a way, bad luck in the other, if u know what I mean...

Damn, 2 players in the 3pt contest is crazy, Im guessing PG and SG? Great job, especially cuz one of them won, how did the other do? Fun times...

Yes it was my PG and SG, the other 4 guys in the contest were all from one team as well... so only two team represented in the 3 point contest.

wow, thats bizarre lol

I'm sad I can no longer find out how hard my league is compared to other leagues due to me being in III. now I think someone should try o find out what the hardest III. leagues are, because i feel like I'm stuck in one of the hardest ones. >.<
In fact... I think I'll make a forum for that right now

First,
A reminder of the nomenclature:

wimpy (1)
scrawny (2)
weak (3)
decent (4)
solid (5)
stout (6)
robust (7)
rigorous (8)
tough as nails (9)
Chuck Norris (10)


And now...






The moment you've all been waiting for...

If you're interested in my method, check this post: (214659.97). I adjusted the nomenclature a little bit since the spread was a little wider this season (75-132, instead of 76-127). So it was harder to get out of the middle ratings. As I said before (214659.110), these ratings are quite subjective. The nomenclature is probably more meaningful than the number.

Still, in my calculations, the title of "Toughest D.IV League" goes to IV.32.

And IV.11 has earned the title of "Easiest D.IV League".

Congratulations and condolences are in order, though to which league's managers I'm not sure... ;-)
