I see that I don't have the payroll yet to be competitive here. Looks like I'll be here a few seasons.

Well, I'd say it isn't all about payroll (and mind has shrunk significantly since I moved towards finishing my roster reorganization). Interesting numbers, I'm guessing you got them using one of the BB-connected sites? Which one?
Based upon that you have a higher average than me (and since the guys moved were above average, I'm guessing that has only further separated). But believe it or not I'm quite convinced this will be my year 8-)
Having a low payroll is great in that you can make more money, if nothing else :-) Develop up that arena, it's the key to sustainability, definitely.
I'm hoping to get out before Ice Storm really becomes a beast. Can't believe an NBBA player just yesterday it seems is down here with us middlings. But look at his roster, all under 21, about 2/3 of very very high talent. I'm guessing he's training like a mad man... I just hope to escape his wrath if that's so!

For instance, Rues beat RoyalDieHard... and Crusadersx didn't exactly obliterate charlotte. Is the lineup well-rounded? Are the proper tactics used? Have the players played together (I have a feeling that the latter has a fair bit to do with how they play, though have no evidence for it). We'll see. I'm banking on a much stronger season than last year while with one half my team under restructuring :)

I use buzzer-manager. Don't mean to imply salary is everything, but other things being equal, it is important. Just as scouting, tactics and game conditioning is important.

R.I.P Detroit Darts. I finally get a win over them and now they're gone.

They're gone!?! Hadn't checked. Oye :-( :-(

I may be in D IV for 52 seasons, but I intend to stick with it until things improve. If nothing else, keep stockpiling cash :-p

So much for that, huh? Nice win, your team really took advantage of my young interior. Time to reconsider my expectations maybe :-) But I'd think you've got a strong shot at avoiding issues of relegation, and wouldn't be shocked if you're amongst the playoffs. Nice work

Thanks, my goal is still 5th place. I don't have the depth or talent yet, but we will try to be competitive.

Well my team's play last night really has me starting to temper expectations for a little while this season. We'll have to see if I can pull a reasonable playoff spot out of the hat, but glad to see top 5 seems fairly reasonable at least, early in my growing pains. Seems some pretty deep, evenly strong competition this year in the top half, and it'll be interesting to see what happens :)

I'm really surprised to be 4-1.

You want my advice on saving cash? Cut staff, I promoted from here with about a 30k staff payroll and am sitting on top of my D.III league with the same people. It's allowing me to make 85k a week and stay competitive, I may get a pop or two less on my trainee but other than that I've noticed little difference.

I called crusadersx to win this season and I'll stand by that but I see a few other teams that could make a run. Orlando you've got the team to do it, you've just gotta get everything on target for a season.

Holy crap, Ice Storm BC's here? I remember back when you were top of the NBBA man
