Notes for tonight: -

Skytturnar losing by 30 despite 4 better total game rating and 1.7 per player better average player rating may be the surprise result of the season for the division despite the single-missed Game Day Prep. Skytturnar had respectable-high rebounding to Chicago Bulbs' average-low rebounding and lost the rebound battle 45-53, and only Ásgeirsson and Krasnoslobodtsev for Skytturnar shot better than 33% from the field.

Celestia BC meanwhile double-missed their Game Day Prep having Revolta Culé, B.C playing Look Inside instead of Motion which they actually played, but still had higher FG%, 3P%, FT%, 6 blocks to 0, 1 more rebound, and only lost assists 26-29... and lost by 5! Most other weeks that would be the shock but not tonight.

Also to further confirm that this is a MUCH stronger division than last season I have included the game ratings for the same game last season. Using tonight's scores and my own team as an example I'd have been 4th in game rating with what I scored tonight but am 9th this season, and by average player rating would have been 5th in game 18 then then but am 10th in that now. Icelandia who actually were promoted last season and were 3rd and =2nd then would be 7th and 6th now with the same score.

What makes Chicago Bulbs blowout win over Skyturnar even more insane is that Chicago's star player fouled out midway through the 3rd quarter. Chicago played a great match and i was delighted to get out of there with a close win recently when i had a wrong GDP and -1 effort.

This II is so tough. I'm trying to build a good team while keeping an eye on salaries. I'm training with several players who are playing 'out of position' but overall I'm quite satisfied, even though I can't manage the playing time correctly and players' game shape is suffering. Congratulations on that match!

181 points must be close to a division record?

Also you have Glasgow Raptors twice as a typo btw.

Fixed now so you get the plaudits rather than Glasgow Raptors.

As for the division record, BuzzerManager only goes back 3 seasons and you seem to have to go through the weeks individually in the season view but even then on a quick scan it looks like 168 is the top mark for last season (I beat Canoneers 168-39, Icelandia beat Bibby Brotherhood 168-97), and for season 66 I think it might be as low as 163 (Icelandia over Los Angeles Crackers 163-43).

I'll have another look later and update the above if I've missed a blowout somewhere, but it does indeed seem like Raging Seagull has a division record for highest points scored in a league game (not just a season record) unless someone who has been in the division longer than 3 seasons can point me at a different older record.

So anything before Season 60 might as well be a different division as only BC Böðvar has been in the NoE II.2 division even that long (although KamiQazers, Flower of Scotland, Gibiskus, and Crv Jeep still exist in different divisions from that season), and there may well have been game engine changes in that time anyway.

I have only checked the teams since season 60 with winning records as those are most likely to have performed mega-blowout scores even against bots and there is only so much time even I will spend on stats. If anybody wants to check all the other teams and make me aware of any I have missed then feel free to let me know. We all know the best way to get the correct answer to something is be wrong on the internet!

Until anybody finds higher scores in league games in that period it looks like the highest score of each season since season 60 in II.2 are as follows:

Season 60 - BC Böðvar 148 vs Chisinau BC 56 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/124408274/boxscore.aspx)
Season 61 - Flower of Scotland 169 vs BC Fireball 36 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/125700409/boxscore.aspx)
Season 62 - Ljonin 160 vs Chapuraz 52 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/127000286/boxscore.aspx)
Season 63 - The Others 152 vs Hawkboys 79 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/128294762/boxscore.aspx)
Season 64 - Dropito 160 vs Comandaranga 88 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/129613170/boxscore.aspx)
Season 65 - Los Angeles Crackers 160 vs DHSM 39 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/130928051/boxscore.aspx)
Season 66 - Icelandia 163 vs Los Angeles Crackers 43 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/132241401/boxscore.aspx)
Season 67 - Locomotive Edinburgh 168 vs. Canoneers 39 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/133553552/boxscore.aspx) and Icelandia 168 vs Bibby Brotherhood 97 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/133553567/boxscore.aspx)
Season 68 - Raging Seagull 181 vs Andorra Lock 65 (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/134870075/boxscore.aspx)

In short, not only does this seem to be a record for a league game in Division II.2 in recent seasons, it doesn't even seem to be that close with the next best scores being 12, 13 & 13 points off.

P.S Apologies for the edits, formatting was wonky!
