Can some please explain how my team ranking goes from 50 to 53 when I won my last tourney game? shouldn't it improve? I am clueless on this. must be related to DMI.

The people that moved up, moved up higher in ranks than you. Those that moved down, didn't move down far enough for you to move up.

Example. Frogmonsters are rank 50. A ranked 51 team beats ranked 20 team. Ranked 51 team becomes rank 40. Previously ranked 20 team becomes rank 30.

Just a rough example, I don't know how much moving up and down teams typically do, but I assume that's what happened. Hope that made sense.

I follow you, but I last beat a cup team that was ranked 30 to my 50. Yet I fall in ranking?

I'd also expect that the ranking is based on some kind of time window or has a decay factor. Maybe you had a really successful game/week move out of the window.


Somewhat related, my cup loss was brutal. Up two with 20 seconds to go, I get fouled and miss both free throws. With one second left, they score a layup to tie the game. I miss the nonsense shot at the buzzer. Overtime.

I get out to a 7-0 lead in OT. Still up by 4 with 30 seconds left. I've been running 4 guards with my best center fouled out since the 4th. They miss a 3, get the board, and immediately make a 3. Foul me and I make both for a three point lead with 20 seconds left. They immediately make another 3 to tie the game. My team holds for the last shot. With two seconds left, my worst player on the court tries a layup and gets blocked. Somehow, in those two seconds they go cross-court for a DUNK to win the game.

Before I retire from this game, I want to go through my history and tally up my overtime record and my buzzerbeater count. I got buzzerbeatered TWICE that game!

That is rough. The last second full court pass for a basket has always been a bit of a bummer, but the suspension of disbelief is necessary to enjoy this game.

Thanks. Even if there is a time window or decay factor, wouldn't I have had to lose between those games to decline?

Anyway, I am out of the cup now. And, like you, lose on ridiculous shooting foul with no time left and up 1. They sink both and I am out of the cup.

Now to figure out how to cook this Rum Ham thing!

Well, goes around comes around I guess. Not long after that painful cup defeat, I was on the other side of the coin today against Bay Harbor. They tied the game with 18 seconds left because my team has never gotten a stop ever, but then anticlimactically loose-ball fouled me with 1 second left. What a dramatic season for the Visionaries.

Didn't watch the game. Was depressed when I saw boxscore. After reading this, I am even more depressed.

Good game though.

Hey Chek,

You already bought a whole squad to beat me on opening day. Do you think you could stop the loading up thing?

3M for a $100k 27yo PF with no obvious holes seems like a pretty sweet deal, congrats
