Looking forward to warmly welcoming Gauson to The Crematorium

I'm really looking forward to this one too, both been good this season.

I can feel the heat already! lol

hehe, should be a good game

ROUND THREE SUMMARY
The fourth round saw the EBBL sides battle it out for the first time in this seasons tournament with Sabre of Valiente losing to new jersey2 by a score of 91-70 and the other proving to be a very anti-climax game between Tide of Fire and Gauson, which saw the former thump his opponent 29-119. Another EBBL team that departed from the competition tonight was A Dogs who threw his game against division III side, BlasterbAg Man. The remaining EBBL sides went through with relative ease. In the division II match ups, Surrey Heat were smashed by Lusitania Brasil All Stars, Margate Marauders were put through with Stiggs forfeiting the game, Allll Stars edging out Narborough Pheonix by an eight point margin and Cambois Donkeys losing in similar fashion to Kotwa by 117-110.

The fifth round will see two more contests between EBBL sides with Leeds City Ballers travelling to Stinkilemons and Bc Giants hosting Durham Wasps. Two of the EBBL sides play against two of the four remaining bots whereas the others all have tough match ups against division II opponents, these include Los Mikitos v BC Snaiperiai, Tatatallfella v Halucagenic Dayglo and new jersey2 v Arab city. The pick of the division II games see Irvine Blackhawks battle it out against Flaming Carrot Unit.

Teams remaining are as follows:
EBBL (12/16)
II.1 (6/16)
II.2 (7/16)
II.3 (5/16)
II.4 (8/16)

Good luck to all teams involved next week.

Bad luck for a difficult match-up so early in the competition mate, you would have deserved better, like all the other guys in II.2-blue. We were just talking about that's one of the toughest D2 conferences in memory.

Yeah, it's one hell of a conference this season. Definitely the hardest I've been in since promoting a few seasons back.

Several EBBL teams are very beatable by good D2 teams, I invite said teams to scout!

They are, but getting promoted is more important and crunching somebody is not particularly attractive, esp. for those of us in II.2 blue where having home court in the playoffs is going to be crucial, so as soon as I get one of the top sides and their Sat/Tues minutes shows me their starters are playing, I'm sending out the scrubs.

Fortunately at the moment I'm getting Div III teams at home, which I think is payback for getting ToF in the 2nd round last year.

Sometimes I wonder if BB is better than Hattrick re: the cup.

I agree. I've always enjoyed the random nature of the cup. Not knowing who you're getting in the next week adds a little bit to the thursday cup games.

And of course it can throw up games like mine next week. Paired up against the team I beat in last season's play off finals.

Hmm, wonder which last 32 tie will be first on Match of the Day....?
