Welcome to season 69!

For any passing new managers who didn't already know I believe Game Rating is calculated by BuzzerManager by how many sub-levels above atrocious-low the combination of outside scoring, inside scoring, outside defense, inside defense, rebounding and offensive flow are at the end of the game.

Average player ratings are a bit wonky the 1st game or two as BuzzerManager seems to average each player to the nearest half-point, while BuzzerBeater itself knows the rating to a tenth of a point so there can be discrepancies. BuzzerManager is near enough however to compare like for like stats for the week and against previous seasons and leaves the need for Excel sheets and so on at the workplace where they belong!

Efficiency when that is mentioned is (Points+Rebounds+Assists+Steals+Blocks−Missed shots−Missed Free Throws-Turnovers).

Just like last season 8 teams with 100+ game rating in game 1 and 8 teams with 10+ average player rating.

Bonus stat I intend to keep up from today is the running total of the Game Ratings including average per game. 1st number is the game ratings added together, 2nd is the average per game. Italics for Big 8 conference teams, Bold for Great 8 conference teams. Any errors, let me know.

Personal note, three and a bit seasons and yet to have a triple-double, and thanks to entering garbage-time up by 36 I still haven't! No minutes in the 4th quarter for Shaun MacNuir (21 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists), and more annoyingly none for William Buchan who was trying to get a triple-double the hard way and was left stranded on 15 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 blocks! You don't see a 9 block performance every day. In fact, division II.2 season 67 had ONE 7 block game, and season 68 only had 3. The last 8 or more block game in the division therefore is at least 3 seasons ago.

It was a scrimmage rather than league game but this game between us last year was pretty cool.

https://buzzerbeater.com/match/135170041/boxscore.aspx

My Guy Luque was one assist away from a triple double with 12 rebounds and 10 blocks.

Largely as it was a scrimmage I hadn't actually noticed he got 10 of the 11 total team blocks!

I guess being likely a top 5 blocker and a top 5 rebounder in the division makes Luque the likely favourite to do a triple-double arguably the hardest way (assists, rebounds, blocks) if he continues to pass instead of shoot and if anyone ever can.

Bad beat of the night is Skytturnar losing by 17 to Dropito despite 10 more game rating and 2.2 higher average player rating. A missed game day preperation likely cost them and playing "take it easy" into a "crunch time" compounded that and after losing the 1st quarter 40-14 their fate was all but sealed.

My 1st part-season I was 13-0 against everyone else, and 0-2 against Santa Booker so tonight's game was of special interest to me now they are a conference rival again. No happy ending though as I end up 0-3 vs. Santa Booker after a 103-111 loss. The stats basically make it look like we are the 2 Spidermen pointing at each other meme (judge for yourself - https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/136183166/boxscore.aspx so I suspect whatever home advantage there is in the match engine did for me. That means I run out of excuses if he does it again at my Arena on 16th September!

Some oddball games and results tonight.

Revolta Culé, B.C correctly double predicted Rocalux clearly intending to run up some stats and while the score of 164-31 was a beatdown, forcing 62 turnovers with 53 by steals and winning assists 50-4 being some of the wildest team statlines I've seen!

Glasgow Blue Jays beat Celestia BC with a heartbreaker buzzerbeater 3 from Anton Petrescu.

Chicago Bulbs II put out a team with the highest game rating of the night (largely due to having sensational team ODef and prolific IDef) and Skytturnar (a team with a realistic promotion hope) were held to 52 points and .173 shooting and lost by 63 which can't have happened to them for quite a while.

In almost the opposite situation Bibby Brotherhood and Raging Seagull decided to hold their own All-Star game with 325 combined points (II.2 record maybe?) and combined .581 shooting, Raging Seagull winning out by 170-155. Hope you bet the over!

Lastly, Glasgow Raptors had 9 higher team game rating, 1.7 higher average player rating, and 8 more rebounds too, but Locomotive Edinburgh slew the traditional II.2 Great 8 dragon for the 1st time by 121-102. Bak and Garnett having off-nights the same night for the Raptors (combined 15-56 shooting) seems to have been the key to the result.

Relatively more normal results tonight, but still a bad beat and a statistical anomaly.

Chicago Bulbs II's 125-33 defeat of Rocalux may have looked as you would have expected it to go, except this game was 88-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter! Only garbage time made the scoreline look as normal as it was.

The bad beat was Glasgow Blue Jays' 80-84 defeat by Dropito. 25 higher game rating, 3.7 higher average player rating, but played "Take It Easy" into a "Crunch Time" and allowed 13 more FT attempts which Dropito went 21-27 at which was enough fot the Andorrans to win it.
