Had the idea to check on what the changes were from the beginning of the season in comparative national ranking. Rankings from the first cup game of the season are in parenthesis followed by the change in league position:

1. LA - 310 (1st - 314) N/C
2. PRA - 391 (3rd - 426) +1
3. WHV - 431 (4th - 453) +1
4. VAL - 500 (10th - 857) +6
5. KNP - 551 (2nd - 340) -3
6. MM - 598 (5th -570) -1
7. ULD - 639 (12th - 982) +5
8. DCA - 792 (13th - 1045) +5
9. ILL - 794 (7th - 722) -2
10. SUP - 819 (6th - 673) -4
11. STL - 829 (8th - 791) -3
12. NYC - 852 (9th - 798) -3
13. MAR - 984 (11th - 925) -2
14. NEV - 1008 (15th - 1192) +1
15. COR - 1128 (14th - 1110) -1
16. GRE - 1408 (16th - 1461) N/C

Current League Avg Nat'l Rank = 752
Season Start League Avg Nat'l Rank = 791

Anybody wanna weigh in on how they think the All-Star Game will end up?

I think that the Big 8 might have the upper hand, seeing as they have HCA and their combined salaries dwarf those of the Great 8. But, hey... I thought the Big 8 would take interconference play, too. So, shows what I know. ;-)

nice read everybody. Thanks for taking the time.

Mules have been lucky this year. I think Murfreesboro is 3-0 in OT games and that is the difference between hosting PO games and watching from home this year.

Mules main talent is getting older and it might be time too buy more talent or sell everything and start new.


have not been lucky in the draft in years so young talent is lacking

Bump for the end of the regular season. No real surprises for the second half except perhaps Murfs upsetting LA KB using rebounding and me turning over almost my entire roster twice.

I gotta say I'm feeling pretty good about these playoffs. Bring it on!

Been a good season. We all kind of left off the conversation for a while, but it's been good competition.

My only surprise was going into overtime in 3 of 7 on the homestretch. Maybe not a surprise, though. I think I had a target on my back after I sold Álvarez to cut back on expenses. I am still sticking with my predictions.

And here's an update.
The current nat'l rankings and +/- from the beginning of the season:

1. LA - 304 (-10)
2. PRA - 339 (-52)
3. WHV - 431 (-22)
4. VAL - 443 (-424)
5. ULD - 495 (-487)
6. MM - 518 (-52)
7. DCA - 670 (-375)
8. ILL - 709 (-13)
9. KNP - 758 (+418)
10. SUP - 826 (+153)
11. STL - 857 (+66)
12. NYC - 901 (+103)
13. NEV - 925 (-267)
14. MAR - 957 (+32)
15. COR - 1043 (-67)
16. GRE - 1237 (-224)

Current League Avg Nat'l Rank = 713
Season Start League Avg Nat'l Rank = 791

And a little more pertinent at the moment:
Season Start Top 4 in each Conference Avg Nat'l Rank = 544
Current Playoff Teams Avg Nat'l Rank = 489

Jus' sayin...

IV.30 is getting more competitive. And we've already been mentioned in a list of most competitive D.IV leagues: (214659.27)

+ 1Ball. Glad to see my old league active, even if I was only here for one season. Good work, boys. Keep up the high level of competition!

A belated congratulations to Practice Makes Perfect who got promoted via bot clean-up thanks to their dominating 21-1 regular season play. It looks like they've taken Upsyndrome's place in III.13.

Good luck to the P(i)MP this season! Make all of us back in IV.30 proud!
