II.4 Player of the Week:
Felix Öby (29885591) of the Flying Leopards

Mr. Oby had a standout game on Tuesday leading his team to a close OT win over the Browncoats. 33 pts, 15 boards, 5 dimes, 3 treys, 2 blocks. Add in a 19/15 game on Saturday for the win and he's had an outstanding week. He did play 101 minutes this week, so perhaps he'll come down to earth next week!

honorable mention:
1. Cris Buckley (28766943) of Big Head Todd. Buckley put in a great single game performance on Saturday. Coach Schlitty gave the outside players the green light to shoot and Cris lit it up with 7 treys and 35 points to get a big win over the Bananahorns.

2. Nelson Swan (19242238) of the Bananahorns did what he could in that game, getting 20 and 15 to lead the team. He had an even bigger game Tuesday against the hard-luck San Diego Eagles with 32 and 16. this time for the win.

3. Mikelis Dziesminieks (25291439) of the Sungrazers had the best of a few patient offense games this week by various teams, dropping 36 points on Work in Progress to make it an easy win. This is Dziezwhatever's second honorable mention, making him my first repeat player on the rankings.

Div II.IV Tourney Survivor Update


Last week the Sungrazers got scorched, Big Todd and the Monsters got scared away and Work in Progress got fired.

Leaving the score

Great 8 - 6
Big 8 - 3

Now for this week's games

*Flash Mashers vs Div II Beskitas Cs (9-1) - Premium matchup for two Div II division leaders, the question is, who wants to stay in the tourney...going with the Mashers as they flash on by Beskitas....

Super Stars at Div III Sparta Hybla Valley (4-6) - I think the Stars will shine in this one

San Diego Eagles at Div III Maine Lobstahs (3-7) - Eagles seem to be playing for the tourney so I see the Lobstahs ending up in a pot of hot water.

EDH Wolves at Div IV Hartford Hawks (8-2) - Wolves should put the bite on the Hawks in this one.

Serenity Valley Browncoats at DIv III Malvern City Thunder (0-10) - Browncoats will strike down the Thunder

The Closers vs Div II Tasty Tardsicles (5-5) - The Closers should feast on the Tardsicles in a "close" one.

Pwnstarz at Div III Shm (9-1) - Dont see the starz getting owned in this one.

Bananahorns vs Div IV Peachtree Shooting Stars (7-3) - I dont see the Bananahorns slipping up on this one.

BigShots vs Div II Irvine Anteaters (7-3) - Eventhough the BigShots are winless in Div II I see them in a Big way against the Anteaters.

Good Luck Everyone

I think I may end up having to train GS after this week. Too bad I couldn't get a little farther before I had to start making choices between tournament and normal club affairs, but this is a little too early to duck out of the tourney for me.

Deks (that's what we call him) is honored to be selected twice in the honorable mention rankings.

Ok so I put together an excel document that uses the data from our league standings, point differential, and average team rating per match to spit out a power rankings list! Thought I'd add to the weekly fun. The excel document is loosely based off of a ranking system that my old friend Natellio ran for us when I was in III.6 years ago but he is now bot so I couldn't get his old formula. His used to incorporate the effort a team put into a match... I'm going to try and replicate that but for now this is a beta test of my own creation.

So here's how the league stands as of now!

Team Rank
1) Flash Mashers - (17.83875)
2) Flying Leapords - (13.30875)
3) EDH Wolves - (13.01875)
4) The Closers - (10.27875)
5) Serenity Valley Brothers - (10.25875)
6) Super Stars - (7.99875)
7) oo Pwnstrz oo - (5.65875)
8) Bananahorns - (3.19875)
9) Big Head Todd - (2.11875)
10) Sungrazers - (1.07875)
11) Work in Progress - (-0.86125)
12) PuffPuffPass (-2.55125)
13) Beware of Dogs - (-4.64125)
14) San Diego Eagles - (-20.35125)
15) BigShots - (-26.87125)
16) Eloping Cantaloupes - (-29.48125)


Interestingly enough, I discovered that Super Stars has the best Average Team Rating in the entire league, beating my own team out by 0.8 per game and the EDH Wolves by 0.9! Crazy that they are sitting at 5 and 5. Perhaps Team Rating can be misleading?

Very nice!

Ugh, this has to be one of my more disappointing early Cup exits, and one of the worst fouling games in franchise history.

32 team fouls
3 players fouled out (my entire starting front court)
45 free throws attempted by my opponent

Aw man, that is a tough one.
I used to be in a league with Bob Christopher's Peachtree City Shooting Stars!
I'm glad to see he is still playing.
Sorry you lost to him in such a strange way. That is unlucky.
However, you couldn't have lost to a nicer team.

For a moment I thought my team could be competitive this season but the wins never came. I really tried to figure out why but I just couldn't. Fans weren't filling in the seats either. So, sold my old big guy and I'll try to rebuild again.

Hopefully there wont be a powerhouse with 600k+ in their arsenal. lol

Div II.IV Tourney Survivor Update


Last week the Banannahorns slipped up

Leaving the score

Great 8 - 5
Big 8 - 3

It gets tougher and tougher as we get deeper in the season, with many close races it is tough to rate some games as some teams will punt, some will put out a decent lineup and others will go for it and risk overplaying folks and that is not considering the dreaded CT......

Now for this week's games


Flash Mashers at Div IV Shrewsbury Honeybadgers (11-1) - The Honeybadgers have a nice Div IV team but they are playing a team that will contend for a NBBA slot.....I see the Mashers flying by the home team Badgers

Super Stars vs Div III Raleigh Roughriders (5-7) - The Stars will shine over the Roughriders this week

San Diego Eagles vs Div III Super Sonics (4-8) - The Eagles will soar over the Sonics in this one.

* EDH Wolves at Div II Mars Aliens (8-4) - Tough matchup as both teams are contending and can put out solid lineups, in the end I think the wolves will put the bite on the aliens.

Serenity Valley Browncoats at Div IV TKLU (9-3) - TKLU has another nice Div IV team but the Browncoats will dispatch them.

The Closers vs Div III Danbury Mad Hatters (11-1) - With more depth and the HCA the Closers will closeout the Hatters tourney run.

Pwnstrz vs Carmel Griffins (11-1) - Another tough matchup, a key injury and lack of comparable depth by the Griffins will be the difference as the Pwnstrz will own them.

Big Shots at Div IV Worth Warthogs (8-4) - While the Big Shots have not won a league game, they have won 6 tourney games and will put the team out to make it 7 this week as the Warthogs are essentially a 1 or 2 man show.

Good Luck All

* Game of the Week

Updated! I changed the formula a bit. Last time record was weighted much much heavier than PD and Ratings. This time they're all about the same with Rating probably being the most influential.

1) Flash Mashers (10.55)
2) EDH Wolves (9.8)
3) Super Stars (8.767)
4) Serenity Valley Brothers (8.5083)

5) The Closers (7.9083)
6) Flying Leapords (7.8167)

7) oo Pwnstrz oo (4.55)
8) Bananahorns (4.383)
9) Big Head Todd (3.74167)
10) Work in Progress (3.34167)
11) Sungrazers (2.867)

12) Beware of Dogs (0.99167)
13) PuffPuffPass (0.225)

14) San Diego Eagles (-11.875)
15) BigShots (-17.3)
16) Eloping Cantaloupes (-20.275)

Still working on it.

Anywho. I'm stoked I drew a D4 team in the cup and that Upsyndrome and Arizona drew each other XD
