Might as well start it off. I am 61 years old right now. Guess I'll be 62 when season 62 rolls around. Hopefully that bodes well for the future.

7 of the top 10 salaried teams are on the blue side. But I'd still bet on Doctors of WI to win it all this season. There is still plenty of time for teams to make additions. But as it stands now, they have an easier road than anyone on the blue side.

Top 2 players from last year's MVP race are still here. No reason to think anyone else will challenge.

You can never tell from one season to the next. But as I have said before, Welcome to the Jungle. It gets worse here every day.

Hi....I recently sold my roster for 5.5 million and did a 3.2 million dollar investment into my arena.

Never made such a huge arena purchase before in 12 years of this game. In case you were wondering, 33 days to construct.

It will finish at like 21k. Just matched it to Cassville Yuck’s stadium

Years ago, I read the optimum size is 20550

Max luxury boxes is 50
Max Courtside seats is 500
You split the remaining 20K however you want

I built too many lower tier seats because I overestimated how hard it would be to promote to D1 or D2. So I hardly ever sell more than 4000 at any game.

But there does seem to be a soft cap around that 20550 mark. I've seen some teams with huge stadiums and they never sell much more than that.

20,550 is exactly what I built to after looking it up. Again I just matched Yuck’s cause I knew he’s done all that research when he built his so I don’t have to now.

Boy my attempt to catch Doctors was already hard enough without Globo's playing scrubs in a week when they play a bot in the cup, and gift-wrapping them a 60 pt away win...:D

(I'm just kidding of course: the problem is BB's use of PD differential as tie-breaker, not Globo's choices, enigmatic as they might be.)

It looks like you're just going to have to out and beat him ;)

What would your recommendation for the tiebreaker be?

Literally anything would be better. The standard in many sports leagues is to prioritize head-to-head record, then head-to-head
PD then overall PD as third (and unlikely to be used) tie breaker. I think Mediocrity — the NT coach — has some forum or discord posts about this, and given his influence it might happen at some point.

Yeah, I agree that head to head would be better. PD was probably chosen because its the simplest option and the easiest for most people to understand.
