lol iwen pretending to be sympathizing when he had it all planned out all along... iwen's thought: "hmmm, I can spend this season training/tanking since I am confident I can own aussie in the relegation anyways... muahahahahahaahahahahahahaha!!!!!"

It's up to you what you decide. Last season I had to choose between gaining promotion to ABBL which would earn $1m plus future ABBL perks versus going an extra 3-5 weeks into cup roughly 150-250k and sustain/improve rank.

So choose wisely.

I had a 'mostly' easy cup run last season - wouldn't mind repeating that this time, made the final 32! It was the only thing keeping my team in the black. Better economy management this season so any extra $$ is a bonus. First 3 have been easy so far.

im liking this summary, but where is round 3 and 4?

well round 4 did just finish and i guess thats a nice little segway into my bragging about beating Div 1 team :)

i dont think ive made it past the second round in previous seasons. this year, round 5 here we come, and ive drawn another div 3 team. gotta love it.

keep up the good work though on this thread, am liking it.

Yeah not sure why this thread went silent as it was a good initiative. Nice upset by your boys and great to see a few ABBL teams exit. On your form you shoulld win next round. Good luck!

I decided instead of whinging id do a summary myself. :)

Round 3 of Australia National Tournament Summary for upsets.

ABBL
WA IS A DUMP (2) lost to the AVALON JETS (5) 79-67, albeit, both teams are Div I teams, still, good win there by Avalon.

Div II
Sambo 54s (78) from Div III managed to knock off the Rampaging Marmots (75), 118-77, still, very close rankings but different division teams there, cant be too upset really.
SASTROOPERS (71) fell to the Blue Mountain State(205), the 4nik8rs (62) beat divisional rivals Melbourne Goldfish (50) (well, if they werent divisional rivals, they are now). ...An team ive received several beatings in the past from, the City Celtics (65) beat Da Fat Boy Slim (37) , both from Div 2,

Div III
(105) Arana Devils lost to the Mangoloids (140)
(99) Lennox Pigeons lost to -Celtics- (107)
(68) Mmmm Donuts lost their donuts to the Rosudgeon Raptors (138) which makes me think if Newman had been eating Donuts in Jurrasic Park, would he have survived? hmmm
(215) Bellarine Wildfire lost to Div 4 team Red Furys (397) tsk tsk.
(266) Adelaide 36rs lost to amos rogues ( 293 )
(199) AzzAZ SwiNaDaDz fell 71 - 101 Chirny Lakers (238)
Div 4 team (350) licknuts beat division 3 team Kerrang Kings (471) but still, look at the ranking difference.

Div IV

(304) Essendon Heat 117 - 107 Semi Pro (262)
(502) Droobstars 116 - 76 Westgarth All Stars (483)
(417) top end victory 100 - 63 North Melbourne (288)
all other divisional 4 teams got aptly spanked by higher ranked teams.

Stand by for the next summary, which will be later, because its a fair enough to do this!

Apologies for any typo's/mistakes/teams missed. Its late and im trying to work as well :)

Nice work mate!

Excellent summary, +1 ball.

Dont stop there, we are getting towards the business end now and I am still in woohoo!

I have decided to do a Round 5 Cup Lines with a brief preview on each game.

Only for the remaining ABBL teams - too many games to list otherwise :P

This is only for fun and my comments are not intended to piss off the owner of the teams that i think will not win.

(63) SJOD vs (1) BLACK LABEL SOCIETY
Line - Sjod +14.5
Line - Black label society -14.5

BLS to be too strong at home. Expect Sjod to hang around for 3 qtrs before BLS pull away for a comfortable victory.

(191) PAN AFRICAN BC vs (9) BAXTER BOGANS
Line - Pan African BC +18.5
Line - Baxter Bogans -18.5

Walk in the park for Baxter bogans. Dont be surprised if this one is over by half time.

(4) PANCAKES WITH JAM AND CREAM vs (88) BEERNUTS
Line - Pancakes with jam and cream -7.5
Line - Beernuts +7.5

Theres no doubt Beernuts will take this up to pancakes. Expect a low scoring game with pancakes finally pulling through.

(36) STEVES CROCS vs (3) LEWISHAM WOMBATS
Line - Steves Crocs +5.5
Line - Lewisham Wombats -5.5

Game of the round. Steves crocs are a big chance here. lewisham should come prepared or the crocs may take this one.

(192) HAWTHORNFC vs (8) DONCASTER FLAMES
Line - Hawthornfc +17.5
Line - Doncaster Flames -17.5

Whilst hawthorn have done well to get this far, there is no chance that their talent will match that of doncasters. this game may get real ugly if hawthorns players arent fully switched on.

(5) CANBERRA CRUSHERS vs (255) WINDSOR AS
Line - Canberra Crushers -21.5
Line - Windsor As +21.5


Can the impossible happen? i dont think so. whilst windsor as have been crushing each team in league and cup matches, they are coming up against a ABBL powerhouse in canberra crushers. this game will be a good judgement to see how good Windsor as really are. I expect this game to go well over 200 points.

(22) KOOPASAURUS vs (80) FLAMES
Line - Koopasauras -7.5
Line - Flames +7.5


Whilst it seems obvious that koopasauras should take this one out, dont underestimate the flames at home. this game has the makings of being one of the greatest games ever in cup history.
