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....?

Love the tournament! This week just got a whole lot more interesting! Lol, Spicey!!!

not enjoying my GS update this week

can we just play Osman and Innes 1 vs 1 instead?

FIFTH ROUND SUMMARY
The fifth round saw four EBBL teams crash out. Congratulations go out to WTK Trail Blazers and Kapsakus who defeated Club Deportivo San Andres and Wlodawianka by scores of 109-96 and 149-142 respectively with the latter going to OT. The all-EBBL clashes saw Durham Wasps prevail against Bc Giants by 19 points and Stinkilemons overcome Leeds City Ballers, 63-85. Los Mikitos, Tatatallfella and new jersey2 all booked their place in the last 32 with comfortables wins against BC Snaiperiai, Halucagenic Dayglo and Arab city respectively.

The sixth round will see the top two teams in England battle it out as Tatatallfella is matched up against defending champions, Tide of Fire. The other EBBL teams will also be put into action with Bethnal Green Erks matched up against new jersey2, Stinkilemons travelling to the home of Triximos Tricks and Durham Wasps playing Doncaster Hawks. There is also a couple of division II match ups to keep an eye on with Vector BC playing Phoenix Warriors and CWA FURY playing Bc Wild Hawks.

Teams remaining are as following:
EBBL (8/16)
II.1 (3/16)
II.2 (5/16)
II.3 (2/16)
II.4 (5/16)

Good luck to all teams involved and sorry for the late report.

Lol I'd love that! Two great players... I noticed the GS difference, unlucky man, the two outside men are especially low; whilst having HCA and my lack of Mac helps you, it may not be enough. Who knows though, anything can happen in the tournament!
