How about with JJacks drawing Glenvale Cheaters in the quarters we are guaranteed to have a Div 2 side into the semi finals. How often would that happen?

Almost every season a Div 2 team makes the semis. Out of the last 13 seasons, 10 times a Div 2 team made semis (but never 2 in one season), 1 time a Div 3 team made semis and only twice has it been all ABBL. The last time a non ABBL made the final was Season 35. Seasons 2 and 7 have been the only time a non ABBL has won the Cup.

I stand corrected.

2nd time in 2 seasons that MP5 has a legitimate reason to be mad at me for a match outcome. An injury and a lopsided foul count. I know I can't say anything that will make it better but I do want to acknowledge that, B3 aside, I've been getting ridiculously lucky in recent seasons.

In other news... DIV II TEAM IN THE FINAL. I would not have bet on that happening again given the gulf between ABBL and most of Div II these days.

Well done on getting through again.
Spare a thought for those of us in the same div 2 conference as Jack - he’s played it well and has some good young prospects coming through.

Was surprised to see j-jacks tank it, but in retrospect I shouldn't have been. The league and specifically making the ABBL is pretty important, especially for a roster that's all-in by Div II standards. Conceding HCA to Trolololo would make that task difficult. Assuming they make the ABBL, I think we will see j-jacks competing for a national title again sooner rather than later, and in fact they could even win a BBM tier this season (tier 6).

As for me, my season is already successful, so I'm going to take some time to think about what I actually want to do next. I really want to aim for B3 glory whilst I have the Duffield/Laga'aia duo, so do I risk blowing it up before the playoffs to try and build a better starting 5 for the following season?

Well done on the win, Jay. I think you had Jack's measure in the final this time, so it was probably a savvy move by him to go lower in enth, but I agree, he might shake things up if he does push on from our Div this season.

WTF there goes my entire season plans. Two lasting injuries in the cup in as many rounds.

I may yet be able to salvage the battlers tournament win, but any hopes of a BBM trophy are gone. I know I still don't have enough to win B3 with what I have, but tier 1 was definitely looking doable until this week happened.

A minor miracle actually that I still took the cup at all, since I was banking on Xinlei to be back for the game but he stayed out one day longer than he should've and the team had to win it shorthanded.
