2nd that on the Halftime show!

We don't do goose eggs or boycotts here, enjoy your W tonight

I guess this message which I wrote to you after I threw our first meeting makes more sense now, huh...

You have to win 1 game in every third of the season (conference, interconference, conference) or else you get a boycott based off how much cash reserves you have. It's definitely older than 10 seasons since it was here when I started this account.

I was familiar with the boycott you receive from demoting. But yeah, I guess I've always been lucky to accidentally win a game or just didn't notice boycotts during tanking seasons. I have heard the bit about winning 1 game ever 1/3 though, but never paid much attention to it.

So when I demote, is this boycott going to stack with the demotion ? lol

Game #20

We are coming to the last lap on this long journey of a season - as some of us can't wait for the post season or figure out where in D3 we will land - Here goes this week's match-ups

Big Blue 8

The Stormz will attempt to exchange the automatic demotion seats with Green Gremlins.
Will Derimino carry his sword "The Dragon Slayer" in this game or will he be another Dragon edible
Although the Bullies got a win last game - Which Bullies team will show up as Insert Name needs a win for playoff contention
Can the Mammoths pull off an upset of the Closers looking to get an 1 Loss automatic promotion?

Great 8

The Babies need to get a win to have better playoff hopes, UK would like to keep their golden spot.
The Lions not having to worry about the Tournament will face the new look Lebron team.
Gaeta and the Rip City close to set in their position but Gaeta could use the win more.
Mavs vs The Butchers - Throw out the records !!! Game of the Week - Somebody has to get a W !!!
Who will it be ? Tell us Tell us - I take the Mavs at home on a game winning shot - Line is Mavs by 3

As always Good Luck to All - Congrats to the Lions on getting as far as they could in the tourney

Have an 18yo and 19yo for sale if anyone is interested. Decent stats and potential. Low starting bid, might go for cheap.

Game #21 Let's Gooo

Big Blue 8

The Mammoths look to rebound against a feisty Insert Name at their house.

The Gremlins meet the Dragons in what has playoff potential written all of it!

Old advisories go at it to stay above the automatic demotion Stormz vs Deronimo

The Bullies are the biggest threat to double the lost column for the Closers but in their place is a tall order.

Great Red 8

Even with Rip City dumping old players the Butchers knives haven't been since since LAST WEEK ! two in a row?

Lebron is looking to get some Bling Bling this week in the UK.

Can the Babies catch the Lion's sleeping at home ?

Another old rivalry but it has lost its luster Gaeta by 35 vs the Defenseless Mavs

Good Luck to all

We on that winning streak. Is it too late to make a run for playoffs?

Awesome job once again!

I went all-in a few weeks back to see if I could grab the 1seed. Once I saw that I couldn’t I decided it’s pointless to carry all of that salary and I fired Adler to avoid the 110k, Fired all of my staff because I don’t have another home game until the playoffs and it’s my end of season team trading time and dumped my depth (timing was so they could be included in another team’s playoff run). I was going to wait so my guys are listed after game time but I decided I’d rather get started now.

I’ll probably look at acquiring new players in a few weeks. I’m trying to decide whether I go deep again and keep working my Cup strategy or if I focus on more top end talent. I’m also due for a new trainee at some point as Jackson is my youngest guy I’m training (and still killing it).

There you go. There’s some behind the scenes on RCR.

I've played off and on since season 2. This time around I decided to do whatever it takes to stay interested, and so far it has been working. I'm really big on continuity. I get attached to "my guys". I two-position train. I train out-of-position. I train 29 year olds. I two-position out-of-position train 29 year olds.

In all the time I've been here, I've never actually taken a good look at the top league. Based on what I see demote, it seems like some kind of 33+ year old player skill drop roulette, which would absolutely kill my desire to log in ever again. Having said that, I've tried to be competitive whenever I can be, tournament, postseason, or playoffs... within the confines of some self-imposed handicaps that help me stay interested.

I've been "essential" for about a year straight now, even before the covid calamity was upon us. 50-70 hour weeks without end requiring peak physical effort and mental acuity. I'm probably not nearly as old as I let on, but it feels like it more and more each day.

Anyways, I'm a little behind on commenting in the thread, it's been fun, props to Dragons for homegrowing himself to wherever he ends up, and a big thanks to CC Mavs for the multitude of posts week in and week out.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I got annihilated in the tournament last week. It still looks good on paper, but that's why we play the games isn't it?
