Well, the enthusiasm (or lack of) did us in.

Horrible stats, but expected. Second chance qualifiers now

Good luck - you guys should have a good chance of getting back to the Worlds.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Many national teams right now are carrying empty rosters for two reasons:
* Maximum flexibility in picking their first 12 in the new season. (Our first repechage game was Monday, so we couldn't have zero players right now, of course.)
* They used the empty roster space to add and drop potential candidates to check their skills before the enthusiasm reset (which was Saturday, I believe).

I see we're carrying the same 14 players we had at the end of the last Americas round. Did we take advantage of the enthusiasm reset at all? You noted in (30905.85) that there were some players you wanted to know about whose owners had been non-responsive.

All that was taken care of, and it was by choice to keep the 2 players

We are in final 12. It's been a nail biter but we made it.

Here is where we stand:
World Championships: 12 teams qualify for the World Championships and are drawn into two first-round groups of six. The four second-chance qualifiers will be split between the two groups, with two in each group. Each group plays as round robin from week 4 until week 8. The top four teams advance to the final group, with the three results against other top-four teams from the first-round groups carrying forward. The remainder of the round robin is played from week 9 until week 12. The top four teams advance to semifinals during week 13 and finals week 14. The winning team are the World Champions of BuzzerBeater for the next two seasons!

In my opinion, we elected you to take the team as far as you think Canada can get. With that mandate, I would say that you try and get as far as possible. It would make sense to take a few calculated risks - no sense in playing safe as you have already met expectations.

I agree with jbmcrock. You have met expectations, and now it's time to see how we measure up with the best. We just want to go out of the tournament with our heads held high, regardless of ranking.
