I don't understand the reasoning behind not playing enough players... By doing so, one is basically forfeiting valuable training minutes.

I was pretty disappointed when I found out that I didn't promote. I was under the understanding that both finals teams get promoted.

On another note, I disagree with getting a free 50 point differential for a forfeit.

Other than the champion, the only teams with a chance at promoting are the ones with the best records. So realistically you have to be undefeated or only have one loss if you want a chance at promotion.

hey guys, not part of this league but I was just passing through to see how Iowa's going

the not playing enough players and getting forfeits is strategic (most would call it cheating - including myself)

you get 120k automatically for a forfeit that's a home game. Yep, 120k.

Just putting that out there so you know.

good luck everyone.

kick some butt Iowa

Welp, I sat my starters against Rouges since I figured I didn't have a shot at his place and played my starters tonight in the cup game. Looks like it was a bot and my team handled them with ease to the tune of 134-85.

I'll probably look to continue sitting my starters for one league game a week until I either get knocked out of the cup or get a cup matchup I have little chance of winning... That $50k for winning is a nice incentive.

I didn't know about the 120k from walkovers. Thanks for stopping by Barca, you always have some nice insight. Good luck in league IV.11, looks like you will have shot at promotion this season!

When you look at your schedule, if the other team doesn't have a number (country rank), then it means that they're a bot team and a pretty much automatic win. I had one this week and played it like a scrim and still won easily.

It's all luck on who you get to play though. I think one season I got like 4 games in then played some way better than me, and one season it was like week 2 and went up against something like a DII team.

Tonight's game looks to be a preview of the semi-final matchup come playoff time. Good luck to you both and hopefully there are no injuries this time around.

Things are going better than I expected. I'm upset about the poor choice of tactics in the only game I lost, but it is what it is. I might have lost that last game if I was the road team, so being #1 overall is definitely my priority for the playoffs.
