BuzzerBeater Forums

Yeah I may have told a few of the NBBA guys about your secret prior to you altering it since I remember our BB-Mail conversation from Division 4... long time no see by the way ;)

I was going to start up this post but I got caught at the worst time. Just packed up a full 2 bedroom house and moved from CT to VA and drove 8 hours in a U-Haul to unpack it all. Appreciate you Lions for taking up the reigns on it and welcoming in the new guys.

I saw I took down Sofuegg in a buzzerbeater (pretty sure that's the first one of those I've had in a LONG time). I decided to take advantage of a normal + home game + lackey is still around + 7GS week to try and sneak a win. Looks like he hasn't made too many moves yet so I figured why not give it a go.

I'll leave my tanking as a note that I'll be floating slightly over salary floor this season and will have no qualms about winning games if I feel like I can do so at salary floor. If I win enough of those not to tank out then I won't leave. The easiest way to make money in BB is sitting in D1 on salary floor so I'll do it as long as y'all let me ;)

But yeah I did post my whole roster on the Discord and we banter on there a lot. Highly recommend anyone in here to at least accept the invite and check it out. If it's not your cup of tea you can always leave but we use the forums a bit less nowadays since we can chat on there and talk about games live and so on.

I'd heard rumors that you might be somewhere approaching the NBBA again but even after I saw the name change, wasn't really sure. Didn't expect to start this season #2 in active NBBA wins but looks like I've got some work to do now!

Welcome back!!

Reminder on how these are calculated:

It is a 1000 point system based on six categories that are weighted as follows:

Team Record: 250 points
Team Salary: 100 points
Cup Success: 150 points
Point Differential: 100 points
Team Composite Rating: 200 points
Top 5 Team Ratings (League,Cup,BBM): 200 points

These ratings will not be 100% accurate but I hope to provide a little more insight for everyone and keep the forums lively for this season!

Highlights and just random facts from this week:

The BB Developer that has joined us this season has started out 4-0.(cheater)

ERG has joined us back after being under a secret name! Welcome back!

Apex has finally lifted us from his reign of terror and it is really anyone's league this season.

Away teams are 8-24 this season!

Sure! I do it through a weighted formula that is based on your team's closeness to the highest payroll in the league.


Just some insight on that:

Wasted Potential has the highest team salary of 1.04M, and they get 100 pts. (of 100)
The second highest team salary is ETBU Tigers with 925k, and they get 89 pts
The lowest salary is the 87ers with 600k, and they get 58 pts
