You don't even know the half of it.

I want to say that's one odd piece of decision making, but I'll wait until my game looks better O_O

Here's my thinking:

I wanted to win this game. Knowing Wake wouldn't TIE, the only way I had a chance to win was to Crunch Time.

Best possible scenario of Crunch Time:
I win the Cup game, and go on to win the Cup
I likely finish 3rd seed and go out in the 1st Round

Worst possible scenario of CT'ing:
I lose the Cup game
I likely finish 3rd seed and go out in the 1st Round

Other scenario:
I concede the Cup game to Wake, TIE, and there's about a 50/50 chance that I get the 2nd seed. I face Heathens, and there's a 50/50 chance I beat him in the first round (generous odds for me). There's then a 99% chance I lose in the next round away to KDB.

I chose the aggressive path, which gave me the best chance of making the B3 next season and adding another trophy. Does it really seem that odd now? It ended up being an easy decision really. Also, in this "worst case scenario" that I'm in now, I get to maximize training for the remaining weeks without worrying about losing my playoff seed. Lastly, and no idea if this comes to fruition or not, but I'm now free to explore some "restructuring".

Basically, I'm happy with my decision. Would have been great if I had won! For the record, Buzzer Control (based on matchups) had me winning by an average of 8 points so I apparently just didn't get a good roll of the dice.

I'm assuming you didn't mean to start 2 players tonight?

He's leaving BB.

Seriously? That sucks. Though it would've been nice for him to have done it earlier in the season ;-)

This battle for the big 8 top seed is crazy. Both Heathens and Bulls pulling out tough games yesterday. Would have figured being undefeated to this point would allow some breathing down the stretch to focus on the cup...no luck.

Back to back with Heathens to finish the week, yuck.

Nice press release. Congratulations, dude (/community/rivalry.aspx?team1=23542&team2=23082)

Thanks for the love Heathens. Feelin jazzed about the 2nd half of the season. With nth unfortunately out I should have no problem fading into 5th place.

I wish he made an announcement too because not to be a little bitch about it but in a small way that really screwed me since now everyone else can TIE and start backups against him whereas I Normalled and got mostly full minutes with my starters. Rawr. Sadly I'll probably still finish in 8th, heh.

On the plus side, you finally found a way to keep Billingsley from playing 96 minutes this week.
