Coz your boy Chung only hit 3/5 in the last set
the others scored 4/5 5/5 so you lose broheme.
LEGIT

despite all you big 8s always having a whinge about how tough it is in that conference.. the lowly great 8 manages to oust them in the all star game for the second season running..ooh yeah!

I dont think I whinged, however the statistics i mentioned previously are quite damning.

i.e.

Big 8 have a combined tally of 60 wins to the Great 8s 44 wins
Big 8 have 6 teams with positive point differences to the Great 8s 3 teams
Big 8 teams combined have a positive point difference of plus 577 v the Great 8s negative 577

Perhaps the Great 8 has a few champion players (salary hogs) where as the Big 8 has a large number of very competitive well balanced teams.

Ofcourse the result would have been different if Ziggy Jolly had have been played as a Power Forward

Is that the official ruling? Last set is the tie-breaking methodology?

Yeah man I'm pretty sure it's just a count-back.

Another Big 8 and Great 8 statistic to ponder.

The teams in the Big 8 combined have 23 players whose salary is greater than 50K per week as compared to the Great 8s 18 players.

3 teams have only 1 player over 50K they being; Wagadugu Hippos, The Players and the Mad Rangas

6 teams have 2 players over 50K they being West Indies, Geelong Vipers, The J Ballers, Mayhem, Northcote Slammers and Hadders Heros (4 of those teams are in their top 4s for their conferences)

3 Teams have 3 players over 50K they being: Tannum Tantrums, Team Akuma and Hopelssly Addicted

3 Teams have 4 players over 50K they being; Coalcliffe Clippers, Crockers and the Cunning Linguists (2 of these teams are outside of their conferences top 4)

One (1) team and only one team has 5 players with salaries over 50K , that team is Avalan Jets.

Hopefully one of those that i have will be sold very shortly.

$50k is an interesting number though. Of the 4 that i have over $50k, only one is above $60k.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh statistics.

14. CROCKERS (38606) 8 $ 305 839 $ 38 230 $ 41 549
15. Wagadugu Hippopotamuses (196142) 11 $ 204 223 $ 18 566 $ 17 394
16. Mad Rangas (196653) 12 $ 182 285 $ 15 190 $ 17 666

Such a compact league. Except for the Hippos and the Rangas everyone else is within $140,000 of eachother, so if CROCKERS bought one $140,000 big man they would jump to the top salaries in the league. Who will make a big move to break away from the pack? Sid has done it before and while training is nice, a season tanking in the ABBL would let him get a level seven trainer and do out of position training with no worries, hard to top that.

Thanks Yoda for trying to stir up some interest in this league forum.

Since the loss of VIOS the forum has died down a bit and I had been contemplating posting a RIP editorial about the demise of this forum.

Well I wont be buying another trainer for a while as during the week I spent 808K on level 6, 20k per week trainer.

Big mistake.

Anyways if you disregard the number of wins for each team in the corresponding places in each conference, then the conferences are almost identical.

Both conferences have a team trailed off in 8th place (being the Hippos and Rangas) who are each out of touch with the 6th and 7th placed teams who are on an equal number of wins.

The 5th team in each conference is only 2 games away from the 1st placed teams.

Both conferencess have ABBL experienced cashed up teams in 3rd place who potentially could monster this league.

I think this league is wide open and with so many great managers in this league I can't imagine everyone will just sit on their hands. Corio Bay Giants, Hadders Heros and hopelessly addicted have the experience and have been there before. Any one of them could do it. Northcote Slammers is a very well managed team and would have made the ABBL but in season 19 CROCKERS did a sid vicious and rented a superteam and stole the championship. TeamAkuma, Geelong Vipers and Cunning Linguists are all well run teams with smart managers who must be looking at the situation and considering their options. West Indies have a very cheap but effective team and must be loaded so could splurge. There are still another four teams in reach who could make the playoffs and with a massive spend take the championship from 4th. CROCKERS, hopelessly addicted and Slam ! have all done it so it isn't as hard as people think. Make 4th, buy up a $1,000,000 roster for three weeks and promote. I don't really like these last minute rent-a-teams but the rules allow it and it is fun to see people go all in to win.

IMO Top 5 is pretty much sorted for both conferences. been the first time since i promoted that its been even mildly obvious this early in the season who is going to finish bottom 3.
I just cant see the guys winning 3 more games and percentage than the guys currently in 4th/5th (ie: me! hah)

If nobody makes a big sale, then Home court advantage is going to be huge and i think the guys on the Great 8 side of the conference will struggle to make up the difference in order to achieve this......, which suggests a winner from Big 8. Windies, HA or the Giants, or Vipers. Unfortunately i dont think ive got enough home games left to really challange to get into HCA territory....5th this year is different though so id still love to play finals
Vipers and HA have one less home game compared to Giants and Windies as well.....

CROCKERS, hopelessly addicted and Slam ! have all done it so it isn't as hard as people think. Make 4th, buy up a $1,000,000 roster for three weeks and promote

I dont think I quite had the full mill on my roster and I reckon I had them for more like 6 or so weeks rather than just 3.

Not to the same extent as myself but from memory the great Whitebeard brought up a bit as well the year he promoted from this league.

Did you buy up in season 17 Yoda, when you promoted?

Who will make a big move to break away from the pack?

I wont be the first to buy up as I dont want another Beechy on my conscience but maybe teams like Avalon Jets, Hadders and myself might see it as a green light to do some buying up if some one else was to make the first move.

That said if Avalon Jets was to play Siggy Jolly as a PF instead of a SF, they wouldnt need to make any purchases to be a lot more competitive
