I think this was true about 2-3 seasons ago. No longer is III.9 really the one of MOST competitive, we still have a lot of strong teams but we haven't really gained a lot of teams that are ready to win for another few seasons and lost a few of the big players to tanking/lack of interest.(Canadian Swamplands/hall of famers, for example, who were both very strong at one point). I think it comes down to either Serenity Now! or MBCT out of BIG 8 this season to win it all and promote. Serenity Now! was in Naismith for several seasons and probably makes the most money each week out of all of us, by a long shot. I'm trying to dump some of my old guys and continue to train my trainees, build my arena and save money, but I'm not sure how many wins will come of it.
