you guys are simply creating rules that are obviously self-serving.

i, on the other hand, am suggesting improvements that will enhance everyone's enjoyment of the game.

Isn't the fist time I was called a narcissist ;)

i was scouting Delta 9. went to my usual source, buzzermanager. went to the list of the league's best (top 20) players (by game ratings).

Delta 9 has 3 of the league's top six players, four of the top ten and six of the league's top 20 players.

one of those six is for sale, so by the end of the week Dmitri will only have one-fourth of the league's very best players.

i feel kinda sick.

You may want to stay seated for a few minutes, or wait until everyone leaves the room....your crush on Delta 9 may be visible to all if you stand up.

That shouldn't be too surprising. They do have the highest payroll in the league.

can i help it if i admire a team that is well put together? that team is stacked, with a couple of sleek guards out front that kept interfering with my passes and a well-rounded foundation that protected his basket very effectively -- i couldn't score last night!

i do think, however, when playing Delta, that penetration is the key, but to do that you have to have great stamina. otherwise, that team will just slap all your balls away and block your shots. a very frustrating team.

Spot on, Hassan! Jusd be glad you only have to face them once!

Oh look, the team in first place and has a lot of wins has 6 players that combined make more than the league average...

*yawn*

Gosh, seems like this has happened before. You know, like every other season prior.

Did anyone else notice that the teams with the fewest wins have the lowest salaries?

I've been trying to figure out how to leverage this fact into a useful competitive strategy but it's simply too complex to be actionable.

Because I'm bored (and the NFL draft is making me anxious), here's how everyone's Utopian team is doing.

Arizona Desert Storm, 9-1 and 1st in his conference, 1st overall
10 Inch Vertical, 8-2 and 2nd in his conference, 3rd overall
EDH Wolves, 8-2 and 2nd in his conference, 4th overall
Beware of Dogs, 7-3 and 3rd in his conference, 3rd overall
Bullish Mentality, 7-3 and 3rd in his conference, 6th overall
Eugene Register Guard, 6-4 and 3rd in his conference, 7th overall
Dog River Riverdogs, 6-4 and 4th in his conference, 7th overall
Kentucky Wildcats, 4-6 and 4th in his conference, 7th overall
The King and I, 1-9, 8th in his conference, 15th overall (has a big game coming up for him to possible grab the #1 overall pick)

Promotion rules are from what I can tell. Both Finalists are guaranteed, and then it compares the conference rank and win/loss record of the teams who didn't make the Finals with the rest of Utopia. Highest conference rank and then the best win/loss record at that conference rank across Utopia promote.

So if none of us make the Finals, then you really need to be 1st or 2nd seed with a great win/loss.

I'm not winning my league, and the best conference rank I can reasonably attain is 2nd. I have a long road ahead of me for a shot at this hyper accelerated Utopian promotion.

the ultimate goal: to have your USA team and Utopia team play each other in the B3 finals!
