Competitiveness in each league varies every season. last season, 2.3 was the toughest judging from their play off games and 2.4 was the easiest/weakest.

Tho, we can't measure d2 competitiveness by the performance of a team in ABBL lol. that makes no sense. Say guys like, Hadder Heroes who had an easy life in div2 and were able to save alot of money. He can spend the stashed cash in ABBL and perform better than someone like me for example.

well said.. I think every div2 is just as hard.

I think its a lot harder to promote out of div2 then to survive in the abbl.
cos in div2 to have to beat 16 other teams, whereas in the abbl you only have to be better than 4 other teams.

I would also like to back that up Datz! A couple of seasons a go I would have agreed that 2.1 was one of the toughest leagues but that isn't locked in for life. This season the competition in 2.3 is again being hotly contested, with not a single easy win game in round 1 of the playoffs. There are at least a couple of teams in each conference that can deservedly feel expectant of success and on path to the ABBL next season, there can of course be only one.

Some other Div 2 leagues have been wiped clean while teams tanked and basically lead the way for others to dance through, nearly uncontested to the ABBL (thinking of anyone?). Each season changes and I also agree that performance in the ABBL is no measure of Div 2 level of competition. Datz pretty much nailed that.

I think you're all wrong.

3.6 is by far the hardest of all.

Fact.

Alcohol is no excuse no matter how pissed you are. You made an uneducated purchase, which you tried to justify, then realised he hasn't helped you since you got him.

also not like not trying sell him. wouldn't sell for a very low price, so now I'm waiting for what would hopfully be the right time.

Now this is just proof you aren't capable of rational thought. His only value is for playoffs and sold for a loss. Since Christmas he would have cost you over 1 mill in salaries and still you think there is value in keeping him? Holtz really is the luckiest manager in bb...

LOL

You obviously don't know what effect alcohol has on people! Even if you do, I don't believe you have experienced it for youself. Not saying that you should go out there and experience it, just saying, don't talk about something you definately have no idea about.

The only thing that you a right about is that his salary has cost me big time. However, it does not bother me too much. If it cost me a spot in this league, so be it. I can live with that! I'll just have to focus on how to go about things if it does happen.

You may just be trying to fire me up cause you dislike holtz, or maybe not. At the end of the day, I don't give 2 f's what you think. I know exactly what I'm capable of doing by what I am limited too, and as I said, if it cost me a spot in this league, so be it. I'll just have to suck it up and move on and hopefully learn from it. Personally, can't see it happening just yet. It all comes down to what holtz does from now on, untill the RL series begins. If you believe it will, don't give.

I have trashed myself many times over the years and know exactly what alcohol does to people. It doesn't make you decide buying a player that is far from affordable is a good idea, unless you didn't know the consequences beforehand...

You tanked from being a competitive side to buy a player that burns $360k a week, only to be relegated because you don't have the logic to cut your losses. Unless you have been on the froffs every second of the last 3 weeks, you wont be able to blame that on anything but your own ignorance and stupidity...

The fact you think you can beat meateors as is is proof of that. The fact you still have radford is proof of that. The fact you don't realise the massive drop in income when you do relegate is not something you would leave to chance is proof of that...

2/3 is really tough
2/2 is funny cause the big8 is prob the toughest conf in d2 but the great8 is much weaker
2/1 we all know is a bit patchy this season
2/4 just seems to be slam v titans & i think they r about the only teams in that league that rate with smeltz, adam, jw, glenelg, hsdo, sbv or probably about 6-8 teams in 2/3

it is really hard to look back on divisions a few seasons ago & compare

how would u do it?

Definitely hard to compare the past to now. Things have changed in the game and the level of competition has increased right across the board for sure. That's why you see teams in the ABBL tanking in preparation for the long journey back to Div 2, when they know relegation is likely.
