You guys are slipping, I figured there would be much discussion/bitching by now.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I like the B3 changes.

The tournament changes are, I think, inconsistent. It would have been much better to have no HCA for the last two rounds only -- coincidentally, these are also the rounds where there is PO enthusiasm. But then on the other hand, the entire B3 is poff enthusiasm, so...

The sole exception will be that since prize money is involved, players injured in BuzzerBeater's Best games will be capable of being injured for multiple games.

Only for B3 games or for any games?

We will also be increasing tournament (cup outside of the US) income by approximately 10% in most of the later rounds, but by a substantial amount for the earlier rounds. As revenue sharing has declined, teams have had less of an incentive to advance, and we would like to restore the balance and make advancing and winning more desirable and prestigious.
I've heard there were soem recnet changes in rules- so are there gonna be new numbers for cup?

Are you suggesting that players will be injured, but their injuries will just miraculously apply only to B3 games?

I like the B3 changes.

While I was a huge fan of the roster management challenges of the four game weeks and will be sad to see it go, I can understand why the switch to arcade mode is being made.

45 minutes from your post and still no reply from non-GM masses, really strange

I must also say that those changes are logical and expected, but I'm looking forward to those that are, at this point, just announced.

It is not so important how high can someone jump, more important is who is the last one standing

HOW DARE THEY!!! After seasons and seasons of only bad news and new rules to make every managers life missarable, they only have good news for season 8... I was completly prepared to start bitching about BB and that it was going in the wrong direction, and all of a sudden you guys started listening to the users and giving us extra cash... What's next? This years draft was worth investing in??

That sentence could be interpreted both ways. This won't affect me at all (anytime soon at least) it's just that rules etc. requires to be as clear as possible. I didn't ask you for a reason.

The final two rounds of the tournament (cup) will also be at a neutral site starting in season 8.


Too bad that wasn't starting season 7!
