There is one hurdle left an that is the Bollingbrook Tigers. If we both clear that it will be the point diff who decides the #1 seed.

As the playoffs loom players are keeping their mouth sealed. What was orginially thought to be a 2 team point differential race, has now turned into the Lakers vs. the Tigers. If the Lakers can win on Saturday then they will most likely clinch the division, if not, the Coal Miners still have a chance. This is a big week for the Great 8. In the Big 8, the Ballkillers try to hang on for the 4th playoff spot.


1. (1) Cincinnati Lakers

Once again I’m forced to put the Lakers alone in the number 1 spot. They almost fell into the trap game of daquan, they came off flat and could have been upset if not for a better second half effort. They managed to play a lot better against the bubble blowers, winning by 53 points. Gdirmir Portada led the team with 23 points. They’re going to need a great effort from him on Saturday against Bollingbrook.

2. (2) Coal Miners

The Miners barely stay on to the number two spot. The 1 point loss to the Tigers isn’t an awful loss, but they had the win in their hands. They let it slip away, blowing a 7 point fourth quarter lead. That may just cost them the division. The Miners will be able to take some anger out this week as they play Jet Life and the bubble blowers.

3.(3) Tenn Stallions

The Stallions continue to take care of business. They racked up two easy wins including a 55 point win over the Miami Snakes that clinched them the Big 8 regular season title. Stephen Yates struggled in this game but Murray Riddle came through scoring 19 points in the win.

4.(4) Bollingbrook Tigers

The Bollingbrook Tigers made everyone realize that they did play for the league championship just 2 seasons ago last week. They impressed in the fourth quarter, coming back from 8 down to beat the Miners. They have to be happy that Yu Yufa managed to produce 29 points while Fredericus Goetzke chipped in 23 points.

5.(6) Jet Life
No matter what happens this season, I really hope to see Jet Life continue to compete in the league. I can easily see them compete next year for a championship. They’ve won 6 straight since going under new management including a great win over WWIAFTM. They might finish 6 this year, but they’ve proved already that they can compete with some of the best in V. 41.

6.(5) WWIAFTM

WWIAFTM had a disappointing week. They had two chances to not only make a statement but move into the four spot in the Great 8. They promptly followed that up by getting blown out by Bollingbrook and losing by 15 to Jet Life.

7.(7) kalamazoo hurricanes

kalamazoo continues to be mediocre in the a mediocre division. They lost to 6-12 Ballkillers by 2 and really haven’t been all the impressive.

8.(8) macintosh

macintosh has faced so many bumps in the road but I think in two seasons, they’ll be good. They beat daquan by 22 on Saturday but came up flat against the Coal Miners, getting blown out by them.

Game of the Week: Cincinnati Lakers @ Bollingbrook Tigers

This could be one of the top 10 matches in V. 41 history. The Lakers beat the Tigers by a lot last time they played, but Yu Yufa has been on fire recently, and the Tigers are coming off a huge home win against the Coal Miners. If the Lakers can win they have a clear path to the Great 8 #1 seed.

NO HARM INTENDED TO ANYONE. SUBJECT MATTER NOT FOR THE PROPOSE OF JUDGING OR DISCRIMINATION. I know this is wrong but do you thing if I said my player was homosexual would people buy him. I only ask because I don't want to sell him. I had a football teammate that was bisexual and some guy didn't like him but wouldn't mess with him because he was the strongest guy on the team.(could swat 1k on a bar. Also didn't act like or sound like a sissy or girl.) If the Transfer Ad said:(assuming no one has bid on him before my first ad is done) First openly gay BB player.Will try to turnout your whole team. If you decide to buy him. Will this discourage people from buy my player.I just want to keep my player. I know this is horrible to say but it between this, Charlie Sheen, or Mel Gibson situation.

I would avoid that like the plague.

If the wrong person chooses to be offended, that could spell a lot of trouble. Plus, all publicity is good publicity. More views = more possible buyers. Just kick back and try to fly under the radar, or take the $$helm that come and save them till post-draft. Prices drop when the market floods due to the influx of new players?

Thanks that real helpful. I don't offend so I 'm won't advertise him good, or bad.

How do you place the actual transfer ad

Click 'game manual', then the link at the top in the header. I think it defaults on 'forums'. It expands, and towards the bottom it says new ad.

You can do scrimmage ads there too.

It now under every BB player's Overview for convenience. Fourth item in the drop-down list: New Ad.

Thanks guys I always thought it was a supporter feature always but i guess not.

The Great 8 playoffs are pretty much all settled as the WWIAFTM finally moved a game ahead of daquan. On the other side of the league, 5 teams are tied for the final 2 playoff spots. The Lakers have all but clinched the Great 8 while the Stallions clinched it weeks ago. All that’s left is the final standings of the league.

1. (1) Cincinnati Lakers

The Lakers top spot was called in to question as they faced a tough road test at Bollingbrook. In a tough contest they came away with a 7 point win. The Tigers almost managed to come from behind in the fourth quarter, but through the play of JMLC and Grdimir Portada they managed to win. The two cominbed for 46 points.

2. (2) Coal Miners

The Miners got some confidence back with a nice 36 point win over Jet Life and by doubling up on the bubble blowing double babbies. Narces Dalleres scored 28 points in the big win Saturday. They also got solid contributions from their back-ups in the win over Jet Life.

3.(3) Tenn Stallions

The Stallions put the clamps on the Philadelphia Heat offense. They only gave up 28 points while lighting them up for 93 points. Jamie Sena was the most consistent offense threat this week, averaging 16.5 points in two games this week. The Stallions look primed for a run to the finals this year.

4.(4) Bollingbrook Tigers

The Bollingbrook Tigers once again proved that there still nowhere close to a pushover. They pushed the Lakers to the limit and Yu Yufa moved to the second leading scorer while Matthew Jackson continues to be the top rebounder in the conference. They could definitely cause some trouble in the playoffs.

5.(6) WWIAFTM

WWIAFTM might have finally played themselves into the playoffs. They beat daquan by 26 and now hold a slim one game lead with two to play over them for the final playoff spot. Bosko Zekovic came up huge in that win dropping 28 points along with 17 rebounds.

6.(8) macintosh

macintosh beat 6th place Jet Life pretty handily to show that there still better than their newer counterpart. They might finish 7th but I think in the future they can be special. They have two people in the top 10 scorers in the league including the leading scorer, Barkus Komskis. They have a chance to beat the Lakers in a trap game on Tuesday.

7.(5) Jet Life

Jet Life had a rough week. They lost their first game since changing managers and dropped another game. They might only finish with 9 wins but they have a great ground for next season. Their last two games include a the Lakers and the Tigers.

8.(NR) opelousa boyzz

opelousa opened up strong with a win over brickny. They lucked into a playoff spot but are going to need to work if they want to be seen as a threat once the playoffs come around.

Game of the Week: jeppers @ Miami Snakes

This game is important because it not only could determine who will play who in the RL but because both teams are very alive for a playoff spot. They winner of this game could easily sneak there way into the playoffs while the loser will have to wait until next year.
