well, no upsets in the first round. I'm not anticipating any in the 2nd either. Good luck to the Final 4

You're probably right. I don't expect to win. And Atlanta has managed there game shape well. Pretty much just a training season for me.

It’s definitely at least gonna be one more year before I’m ready for League III. Still got a couple weak links I’m trying to solidify.

It really depends on the group. Some are a lot harder than others. But it's really hard to get a feel for how hard it is until you get there.

The main thing is learning how to manage your game shape and enthusiasm. There are a lot of players who never learn how. They may have tough looking teams, but they don't get that players perform better when their game shape and enthusiasm is high.

With my old team Georgia PowerRiders, my mistake first time going in was my bench was way too stacked. I had 10 guys 20k+ and two guys over 10k, lost the first 8 games of the season. The Forum guy who made predictions, recaps, power rankings, and all that basically called me out for wasting money on bench, said to sell a couple of those guys and buy a big time starter. I did exactly what he said to do and finished the season like 10-12 or 11-11. That totally turned my season around. Still got bumped though. League III can be unforgiving and if you go into it too early it may set you back 5 or more seasons.

DIII for me was all about defense, if you couldn't defend, you got run through real quick.

I'm at least 2 seasons away from thinking about it, so I look forward to the future!

Ah thank goodness, My team is not prepared for League III at all. I need another year of training and bolstering our Guard situation. Good luck to African Lightning. Hope none of you guys get too good next year, I don't want skipping this chance to cost me like 8 more seasons in League IV !

Grats to African Lightning. Sorry to see you go (not).

It wouldn't surprise me if both teams promote. It happens when you least want it.
