I've seen 3 Candidates post so far. Where are the rest? Should they be eliminated and removed if they don't post by a certain date? (Yes w/o Posting they are essentially eliminated from winning)

There's a cutdown at I believe midnight tomorrow.

2) flatout better tactics. this partially surprises me since i thought you almost helped build the engine. i mean you live near harvard where charles et al created the game engine. I have had to try my best to reverse engineer it, and i havent gotten it 100% right. i will have to watch my games and not just the box scores to track the statistics i truly want to track this year as well. that is a huge disadvantage yet i still feel with equal teams and on a neutral court i could win 55 out of 100 against you. that seems minor but its really huge.

While the BBs do not typically intervene in elections or speeches, I want make sure that everyone understands that none of the GMs (except those who were BBs in the past, and GM-JuicePats was not one of these) has ever seen the code that goes into the site or the game engine, nor do they have an increased understanding of it through their interaction with the BBs.

Does knowledge of the game engine really help? The lack of success of some of the BB's teams....well, maybe I wouldn't go there. :-)

Anyway, moving to Chicago might help more. :-p

Hell, if living next to Harvard means you understand the game engine better, I (living 2.1 miles from the mothership) should be winning the NBBA and B3 every year!

I only play run and gun because my team is completely outside oriented for scoring. Until very recently I have had no big man scoring, and even with my new PF he still is also an outside shooter. I play full court press because I still don't have good inside defense (no matter how hard I try to get a inside defensive player) and my star player has really good outside defense so he creates a lot of turnovers. A lot of teams don't train handling so their handles are low allowing me to get many steals with this defense. The few times I tried a different on were failures, so until I get a few more interior players I will be using these tactics.

I said I know the tactics well because I know how to match what, and what improves certain stats, because I watch the games and then look at the match ratings and my opponents previous games and see their tactics, match ratings, stats etc. I am also a basketball fanatic in real life (I play a lot of basketball) so I know the tactics in real life and how to choose your tactics compared to your opponents.

Good question. I was wondering if anyone would see that I only use one tactic and ask about the reason.

I have posted my speech, so please take a look, also if anyone has any questions I'm willing to answer all of them

The 3 plans you said you would put in are what you are suppose to do as national team manager. What makes them different than what everyone else is going to do?

You only talked about what you plan to do. You didn't talk about the qualifications you have to be the National Team Manager. What are your qualifications?

You have been unable to get out of D.4 since season 6. Why can't you? If you can't coach your team out of the dumps, why should you be allowed to coach our national team?

To Everyone but specifically Shot City:

What do you think is the most disappointing thing about Team USA basketball over the last 8 seasons and what specific instance/game/decision was the most disappointing and why?
