OT: BE Court Rivals League
In keeping with Dave's new housekeeping guidelines, I believe the Court Rival postings go down here now. But if there are enough recs it'll get stickied I think. I guess I've never seen a fanpost with 5 recs...
Anyways, the linked league spreadsheet is waaay out of date if anyone wants to update. I could possibly do it if the username / password was mailed to me (fewmit on CR). But the main news is that it appears we are down to 5 teams. Red Unit is gone. B Edge Odenizers and Blazing The Edge exist but are not being updated by their players so I assume those are "dead" teams.
BE League Teams:
BEdgers - college A
BlazerEdgers - college B
Just Blaze - college D
Boom Goes The Odenite - college D
Honka Playboys - playground
It's getting almost time for some intraleague action, though! Should a date be set for accepting challenges? How about this Saturday? There is a twist here, in that this season teams can challenge twice!

Should we have actual playoffs this season (with 5 teams) or play each other twice? Let the debate begin! Just Blaze looks forward to defeating y'all any way we can!

I think
We should all play each other once, seed according to those results, (because with 5 teams someone will get a bye), then do the playoffs from there.
Just Blaze wins the league championship!!!
I guess this just gets lost down in fanshotland…so I now declare Just Blaze the winners of the BE league season 4 by default. No need to play us, we’ve already won!!
Odenite on board!!
I think that we should execute as the initial plan was from last season… play each other once, then commence with a playoff at game 35 or something. It would be important to empty out cues and as we have about 9 cued up at the moment… .this could take some doing.
JB….. you’re going down guys….. check out the rear view mirror…. only 15 tc’s off!
vERYkERRPLEX...... stop asking me what the #$% it means!
Looked in the rear view mirror
and saw that you are still in College D while JB has leapt into College C.

we see your bumper
and are just drafting right now…. we will slingshot by in just a sec…. what was that? rating to who?? oh yeah…. that would be us with the higher ranking right now. :)

actually only 4
looks like Honka is not a full team? Honka…. I think that Blazing the Edge and Odenizers may still have some players on there with interest???
It looks like this thing is losing steam fast. 4 teams is a huge drop from the 8 last season.
Honka….. go shopping and get that roster filled!
vERYkERRPLEX...... stop asking me what the #$% it means!
Bedgers took a team vote....
And we decided not to participate this season. We have one goal in mind: making the CR playoffs. We decided playing playground and college D teams isn’t the best way to accomplish that since our ranking is likely going to be near the bubble as it is while playing pro D’s and college A’s. Sorry guys, hopefully we can all make the CR playoffs and match up there!!!
RUDY > MJ
by the time we play ... we will all be moving up
see you in the playoff’s…. I understand though. We have the same goal for playoff’s. Taking the same principals to heart with challenges as well.

Weak
and disappointing.
Too good to take a few games out of a 45 game schedule?
I dub you guys the DOdgers.
Hey now
If any BE team gets up to our level, we’ll be more than happy to play them. But where we stand right now, we’d earn more rating points by losing to a pro A team than we would by beating a playground or college D team.

WEAK
we already figured out the rating system too….. but there are FOUR teams…. how hard is it to make room for them? and we are all college level… JB just bumped up to C and We are 15 tc points away from C, so get off the high horse. Pretty weak…… If you guys are sooooo confident, then you should win and a win against a C team still gives you more points than a loss against a team in the same division.

Bedgers are snobs! Bedgers are snobs!
And we used to be such good friends.
I just hope while your noses are in the air you’ll not notice the rest of the BE teams sneaking up on you.
OT imponderable : How can one look down their nose at someone while they have their nose in the air?

You know you're on the wrong side of an arguement
when Jorga is mocking you :)
Bedgers just don't want to lose
that shine they got from last season. Quitting while you are ahead is smart I guess, since now everyone else has had a chance to catch up in training points. Kinda reminds me of my big brother who used to love playing 1 on 1 against me in basketball, until I hit 13 and had a growth spurt that made me as tall as him. Suddenly he didn’t want to play anymore. Bedgers = school yard bullies.
When you're as tall as us,
you can play. It’s not fun to beat up on the kids. It’s a lose-lose situation.

First BE teams meet tomorrow night
Just Blaze takes on BlazersEdgers.
My money is on JB. But then I’m biased.

Good luck guys(and gals:).....)
I might stop in on the play by play if I am allowed to do so….
RUDY > MJ
Just Blaze wins 100-91
Baron Von Wafer game MVP: 12 points, 24 rebounds, 5 assists!
Rex Chapman had a game high 22 points for BlazersEdgers.
Back and forth game for the most part, each team made some really strong runs.
So for what it’s worth in a three team league, first BE win! Woo!
Tomorrow: Just Blaze vs Boom Goes the Odenite.
But the computerized game analysis
wasn’t what we expected. It didn’t seem to have much to do with the game I saw. What about the JB defense holding the Edgers to 39% shooting? (And we weren’t any better until the 4th quarter.) Yes, Rex burned us with those five threes, but he was on their bench, so why laud their starters’ long range shooting?

we're no longer playing JB
because it just doesn’t behoove us to play teams beneath us
vERYkERRPLEX...... stop asking me what the #$% it means!
Odenite needs a center if anyone is looking
need defense, 450 ++ if possible….need premium as well
vERYkERRPLEX...... stop asking me what the #$% it means!
Honka is definitely done
I let my second player expire who was the captain of that team. Focused on kicking butt with BlazersEdgers now! Good luck to all others as well, we just accepted a challenge from Just Blaze and am playing them tonight, but I don’t think there’s any need for a playoff or anything this year.
Well this sucks.
I train my guy… he isn’t great but… worthless on Honka.
430
Needs a team. he is a Dunking, Rebounding SF.
If anyone needs him, he is available.

JB gets Odenized
But that’s OK. Well, almost OK. On paper we were better, but on court …. and I don’t really know how to explain it. If it was real people “off night” would do, but the random factor of the sim must have been set on High :-)
Anyway, Boom, are you willing to share secrets? It will only help people trying to beat us, not help us beat you next time … is the Chem your starters have Power Offense? And how did you have your sliders set against us? What did you see when you looked at our stats? I’m trying to learn how the opposition thinks.
FWIW, I think BE teams should be trying to help one another.
It was fun watching the game with you and with Blazers Edgers. I seldom watch the other games.

well......
there was a freaky amount of time scouting you guys for this game and I’m glad it paid off. I did most of it… but there was a good collaboration as a unit for us. I saw your line ups and tried to match up accordingly.
Starters for you were your weaker players ( just lower in TC points ) and strengths were defense. Your bench was your stronger players with offense oriented. Although I couldn’t see what you had as far as chem’s, I only assumed that you had a lock down d giong on for your starters and some kind of power offense for your bench.
Sooooo…… I wanted to put my stronger players to play your bench, and it just so happened that most of our stronger players were defense oriented. I took it one step further and went with a 3 guard liine up for starters to overload your defensive unit, with our 3 highest scorers… I figured something had to give.
and on the last day…. we balanced all of our shooting sliders so that each unit was as close to a median pass / shoot as we could get. I’m thinking this may have been a huge part as we hadn’t really done this to date. All of our stats ended up doing what all of our guys wanted to do ( our pg’s dished, our big guys boarded, etc. ).
We only have 8 of the 10 possible individ chem’s ( we just took on a new guy to replace another one ) and we only had Triangle offense ( at the very last minute I may add ) on the bench. I know I trained my guys heavy on defense and leadership the last 24 hours before playing you guys.
REALLY wanted to beat you guys as I couldn’t live with myself getting beat two seasons in a row.
Who’s next? :)
vERYkERRPLEX...... stop asking me what the #$% it means!
Well played
It sure seems that we were out stratigized – with our advantage in chemistries and attributes for both teams being equalish it does seem like we should have won it. Instead we got spanked. Hard.
For us, we matched up what we thought was the best bench / starter matchup and set the team chemistries to best counter your units. That was the extent. The slider thing seems worth exploring more. We just have our guys set them to their individual strengths – we’ve never tries anything like that before.
Funny, we also were concentrating on leadership training the few days before this game.
You’re on the cue for our rematch. there WILL be payback! :)
Thanks
One more question – approximately what is your team leadership total? As moko said, we’d been training it, but I’m curious if the total is very different. (Honestly don’t know where ours is as the moment.)
We’d just flip flopped our bench and starters a few games before – it would be interesting to run that game again with our original starters. (Which are now starting once again, but not because of your comment – I just suggested it as perhaps a better matchup against tonight’s opponent – a Div. C challenged I think while we were still in D :-) Again we’re better on paper …

You know ....
Just reading your comments again, I think that you looked at our starters/bench before the flip. The team you played last night had the defense on the bench and the offense (& lower tcs) starting. Which, if this is true, sent the strategy out the window…
We have all five individual chems with one level 2.
"The highlight of the run was Aldridge crossing over Oden near the baseline, driving to the hoop, avoiding Travis Outlaw's block attempt, then finishing with the reverse layup. So pretty." - Casey H., 09/16/08
He had it right
For the game our offensively attributed “starters” were on the bench and our defensively attributed “bench” was starting.
we have two guys with leadership
100+
2 * 60+ ( which are the 2nd players to the first 2 at 100 )
4* 40+
2* 30 +
Pretty much me and another guy who sees the importance of leadership. Between him and I we make up 320 to about 250 for the rest of the team.
There are some guys who really want the points which I don’t get. The 3 lowest scoring guys on the roster are also the 3 highest in tc points… .it’s tough to get everyone on board, but we seem to have a pretty good group.
Trying to pound to get to College A so we can be ‘good enough’ to play BEdgers…. only 100 points away!

That's about where we are
in leadership too, only we have only one player over 100. The sim analysis last night said both units showed more leadership than the opposition so I assume we had more leadership points.
“There are some guys who really want the points which I don’t get. The 3 lowest scoring guys on the roster are also the 3 highest in tc points” . By tc points do you mean total points or endurance points? I’m the lowest scorer on our team and have the lowest endurance points but 2nd highest total points. I work towards high total points because that determines the division. We were less than 60 from lowest A team last time anyone mentioned it.

i actually have 2nd ( or 3rd.... within 10 points ) highest
in both training and endurance….. and #2 and #1 are the other low scorers.

I am having a hard time
Convincing my team about the importance of Leadership and Defense. Personally I believe each player should train defense, leadership, passing, speed and FT’s up to a respectable level when compared to the rest of your players stats. As this is my second season I feel 100 leadership and defense is very very important, and I want at least 70 on the other 3. However I can’t prove this by anything Doocar has said on the forums, only from what I have seen and read from other users on the forums who have been playing awhile. It seems that players who have a high base of stats in leadership, defense, speed, FT’s, and passing do better over all than players who ignore those stats because they don’t see their importance.
Just noticed
That four of the top ten College B blockers (quality stats) are from BE teams. Is that domination or is it not?!
Of course we do account for three of the 16 teams :-)

Moving up to A
Three BE teams are in the hunt for a move up to Div. A. One A team lost a player overnight so unless they get a strong replacement they’ll drop out. At the moment Blazers Edgers are tops (of BE teams) in points, but JB is only 11 behind them and BGO about 50 behind JB. I didn’t check other B teams so we may be the bottom 3 for all I know :-)

Actually...
At this point, BEdgers have the most training points at 5777 (compared to BlazersEdgers’ 5703).

I was referring
only to the 3 teams in B. Bedgers are ignoring us so I’m ignoring them :) Besides, it’s pretty obvious they have the most points – that’s the only thing that determines division placement.
Just checked and Blazers Edgers are now in A. Odenite & Blaze remain in B.

BlazersEdgers 104 -- 99 Boom Goes the Odenite
Just wanted to make sure everyone here saw that BGO got stomped tonight by BlazersEdgers! Bring on the BEdgers!
Game ball definitely goes to Rex Chapman with a well-rounded 20 points off of 6-10 FGs, 4-6 on 3s and 4-7 from the free throw line.
Good game guys, try us again later in the season perhaps?
stomped???
since when was 5 points a stomp???? give us some cred

I looked in on your game last night
thinking it would be more interesting than ours, but nobody was there to chat with. Ours ended up a real nail biter, we were tied in the last minute then yours truly turned the ball over and after the other team scored I took my ONLY shot attempt of the night – and of course missed it. We had a hot 3 pt shooter (8 for 11) but did I pass to him? Oh no. I think Coach is looking for a new forward.
""I am tired after all the travel, but after seeing the fans I just felt like heading straight to the gym to begin practicing." - Rudy 9.22.08
you must have come in during the 4th qtr
Up until then we had 4 or 5 people in the chat. And the game wasn’t as close as the final score, we were up 10+ for most of the second half.
and lose half our rebounding?
Just stick to the boards next time, Pryzbilla :)
Is 1 for 3
better than 0 for 1? I actually moved my slider a little into pass more so I did pick up 2 assists.
""I am tired after all the travel, but after seeing the fans I just felt like heading straight to the gym to begin practicing." - Rudy 9.22.08
Sure
But did either of those passes go to me? Noooooo.
Still in the doghouse.
I'm still not
used to you making those shots :-)
