That is good because Adam is going crush you like a bug!

I think the thing is, is that unless ur in ABBL, and your in round 6+ of the cup, then you have probably had a 'dream' draw to get there.

Very few teams will go far in the cup beating teams better than them every week, or even a few times.

but its nice having a dream draw in the cup, i had one last season. was good :)

Look I tend to agree with you but ironically I was in the ABBL last season and whilst I might only be in div 2 this season, my roster is a helluva lot stronger now than last season

One extra factor that is hugh is that teams can sometimes have the advantage of a game in their week against a tanker so they can in effect just have two serious games in a week. On the other hand sometimes teams will have a game against a team they can't beat so can throw that one (the PD will hurt but they were going to lose anyway) and then go in hard in the cup. These are possible in the ABBL but more common in division II where there are generally a higher number of tankers although ABBL had about five teams full or semi-tanking last season due to the comfort of having Da Fat Boy Slim making the Big 8 teams not have to worry about the automatic relegation spot.

Apart from a few strategic last hoorahs I think I made most in the Great 8 feel pretty comfortable as well

On the whole tanking subject, though it does take a little of the fun out for other teams, at least I have been fair and have played weak line ups, on TIE, against every team I've played this season. My intention is so that nobody gets an added advantage due to my tanking, though of course the teams in my conference get two cracks at the whip and avoid auto relegation. I can't help that but I am doing all I can to not screw anyone over.

Season 18 was my tanking season and while I didn't win any, I did try a bit harder in my TV and rivalry games.

It's all good mate, you're entitled to play the game however you want, no concerns here.

Wow the power of my premonitions (pitty I didnt dream of lotto numbers at the same time)

as per below

Of the 16 remaining teams left in the cup after this Thursday nights game there will most probably be 5 ABBL teams

Imangine this if you will,

2 of the games for the next round are ABBL teams versus other ABBL teams and for good measure the other remaining ABBL team gets to play Adams "high priced" guns.

Meanwhile I get to play a div 4 team ranked 308th.



Well I wasnt far off with my premonition

I get to play the only remaining non ABBL or div 2 team (div 3 team - no push over as they are ranked only 6 places below me)

2 of the games for the next round are ABBL teams versus other ABBL teams

And the ABBL team well they dont get to play Adams "high priced" guns, no instead they get to play Bainsy

To use Bainsys own quote back at him

That is good because Adam is going crush you like a bug!



Well I fly to China for 5 weeks tomorrow so I hope I remember to set my team.

From memory I made the final 8 in season 19 and whilst being in China I got my time differences mixed up and forgot to set my team (sorry Whitebeard)

Good luck all

Oh, was wondering why you forgot to set at least 3 players back then :p
