why does everyone want to be on the iv.7 calamari side?
everyone rejects the xbb sharks LOL

Because while the bad guys have sexier uniforms, everyone knows that they lose in the end.

And Koop PP and I were watching the game against the Goldfish. It was really close with just a few minutes to go, Xie was killing you, then the coach took him off, you went on a 10-0 run and it was game over.

I would like to remain on the IV.7 side if possible. :)

The best movies are always the ones where the bad guys win, though.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will most likely not be accepting an invite next season...

I have had a lot of fun and this has added a whole new dynamic to this game that I enjoy quite a lot, however as most of you probably know I have been missing from the forums for a while and I am really struggling for the time to be as active as I was at the beginning. My job involves at least 50 hours a week and with cricket, hockey and XC mtb, I have to put RL in front of time spent in front of a computer.

I will still be involved in the game but with promotion a more than realistic chance I will be focusing much more time on scouting and the like making my activity even more withdrawn from PL. With this being so successful due to the forum activity, it is only fair that I give my spot up for someone who is willing to put in the time. I am hoping I will be in div2 next season and that will give me the challenge I have found here, but I will definitely miss the social aspect that this PL brings and it is not right that I should deprive someone else the opportunity to be involved.

If you decide to go with 2 leagues and are short of numbers I will happily join and just play, but there is no point having me join if active players are being left out.

4 teams to go
i fixed all the teams in 2 divisions
if anyone is unhappy with their division say now

+ still the 2 secret tea cup teams are yet to say anything in public

and i assume everyone agrees with our rules - if you dont, dont join

1) be polite on the forums
2) contribute to the forums, we are a social league, if you just want to play and say nothing join the tea cup
3) do your best every week - no forefits or stupid lineups - save them for the tea cup too
4) have a team - we dont expect everyone to be abbl standard but if you plan to have 5 x 1k players or something similar let someone else play
5) who knows what our mvp system will be but no-sooking, the occasional jibe or polite enquiry is fine
6) have fun

To be fair... I wasn't even properly playing during season 8 and 9. I was doing a shoei just to check training when I was extremely bored. In season 10 I made play-offs so how can you call that a tank? D:
I would still like to be on that team though.

BTW It's only tanking if you choose to be horrible so that means I have never tanked.
Just to let my fans know so they don't leave me.

the only problem i see with the line ups given is that the tankers are literally going to be destroyed by the top half of the creamers.

my team will be a mid level div 3 team for most of next season as i look to push towards the end of the season.

we look quite outmatched so far

Good to identify Zyler. Lets have a look at where the teams would end if they were to play now. Pure speculation.

Fishbowl East

Tankers (teams that have tanked at least one season)
Zyler (s14) (c) Top of division III
Hobos (s8, 9 &10) Mid division II
Rampaging Marmots (s13) Low - Mid division II
Slam! (s12) Mid division II
City Celtics (s12) Mid Mid division II
Zazzocalypse (s11) High division II
Dingleton Dingers (s14) Top Mid division III
+1

Creamers (teams that like to cream the opposition every seaason)
Pancakes with Jam and Cream (C-Cat) (c) ABBL
Monkey Biz Top Mid division II or ABBL
Massive Ballers High Mid division III
Maggots Low division II
The Dons High Mid division III
Persepolis Immortals High division III
+2

So if I was to guess a ladder at the moment it would be this.
Points
16 Pancakes with Jam and Cream (Creamers)
15 Monkey Biz (Creamers)
14 Zazzocalypse (Tankers)
13 Hobos (Tankers)
12 City Celtics (Tankers)
11 slam! (Tankers)
10 Rampaging Marmots (Tankers)
9 Maggots (Creamers)
8 Amos Rogues (Tankers)
7 Dingleton Dingers (Tankers)
6 The Dons (Creamers)
5 Persepolis Immortals (Creamers)
4 Massive Ballers (Creamers)


Creamers 55 points
Tankers 75

3 teams still to allocate which can change things a lot. But at the moment if anything this looks unfair in favour of The Tankers! Obviously just my opinion, I am keen to see how much everyone disagrees.

Now yoda, my team is quite clearly a mid-top ABBL team.

Edit: I should also add here that from 27/12 to 23/1, I'll be travelling through the US. I will have my laptop with me and will be scamming free WiFi wherever I can get it, but my activity will be lower than it will be after that.

most of those teams are from the TEA cup aint they?

aint the TEA gonna still exist and if they are (im certain they are) im pretty sure some of the names from that list will join the TEA cup PL.
