Too busy looking up your world rank.

Could have used the extra seconds to look up and know the rules.

(Awaiting original reply: "Kumiko, you could have used the extra seconds to get a better team and not lose by 40 last round.")

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

# of teams from each league remaining:

Naismith: 4 teams
II.2: 3 teams
II.3: 3 teams
II.4: 1 team
III.9: 2 teams
III.1: 1 team
III.5: 1 team
III.7: 1 team


7 div II, 5 div III, 4 div I.

I got about as good of a draw as I could have asked for. HCA and div III team(not an easy one).

ragin stajans and PK playing each other next round, which guarantees at least one div II or III team in the semifinals. Burns gets one of the best div III teams, Hounds gets the best draw.

Who will win this tournament? My money is on the Burns or RiP.

Just normalled Blenkinsop and now has a road game against Stajan though, wouldnt be surprised to see Burns win purely on Enthusiasm. Although if RiP gets by Stajan and gets a reasonable QF draw id put all my money on him.

A little more fun facts:

Last time a div III team made the quarterfinals: Season 3
Last time a div III team made the semifinals: Season 3
Last time a div III team made the finals: Season 3
Last time a div II team made the finals: Season 4(Philosoper Kings)

but really the first three seasons dont even really count. Either way, there are 5 div III teams(none of which facing each other) in the final 16, 5 chances at a quarterfinal spot.

There are 12 div II/III teams, lots of chances at a finals spot.

This has to be one of the most intriguing tournaments in a while, but maybe thats just because im not out for the first time...

Sorry but it was a Ct. Normally I wouldn't say anything but Rip has basically ruined my season, two seasons in a row.

Thats pretty harsh...

Maybe he wrecked your Cup run, but your season? Isn't that a bit dramatic?

Well my expectations for the season was at least the cup and/or league championship which I assume is similar to yours. So I guess its not ruined yet but it hasn't gone well. Basically I'm just a bit disappointed and to me it just seems like Rip doesn't really seem interested in winning a championship, but just wants to do well enough and train his players. But again that's just my perception of things from last season and there's nothing wrong with his way of playing. I'm just slightly annoyed that it's Rip again.

With expectations like this then this season might be a little damp, since you probably will have a difficult time winning the league. Since Beanz has the HCA going for him currently and both of you are out of the cup making beanerz training and both of your GS management easier. So that goal might be hard to accomplish this season, but last season you did win the Cup. I still dont think either season is ruined though.
