Goat hit the nail on the head. Of the divisions I've been in, this one had the best forum. I will miss the lot of you. BB2Night was worth the price of admission. Don't forget to hit me up with PM's and scrimmage invites.

As for the way the season went, as soon as I knew I wasn't making the playoffs, I tanked and tried to pick up a good draft pick. Not that I had to do much to tank. You guys are monsters :) The funny part was when I tried to lose a game against the daggers, and we couldn't even do that. Well, at least I get the second best pick. It better be good! I definitely learned a lot about this game. This seasons was an eye-opener.

As for next season, the goal is not to promote as fast as possible, but to make sure this team is ready once it eventually does. The plan is to focus on making bank. The success of the team will not be determined by what is in the "W" column, but by what is in the "$" column. I will probably stay down for a while, not even thinking of promoting until the arena and bank are the right size for it.

I came really close to walking away from this game for good, until some nice people in this league talked me out of it. Again, it's the people I will miss and I hope you keep in touch. *handshake* Have a good post season. Hope next season goes well for you, too.

I'd say build solid and young, but still try and promote as soon as you can. Not all D3s are created equally. Plus you get that sweet, sweet cash.

Take it from me, the last time I promoted was 27 seasons ago... It's only been 7 years.

Promoting is hard to do - and even harder to plan. Just focus on improving your team, and let things take care of itself.

Just when you think you have your team set, another team in the league will sell a couple of young prospects for some serious money, and plow that back into the their starting lineup - adding that monster center they need to be championship team (or whatever) -- or --

Alternatively, a good team may get frustrated and start a tear down and rebuild campaign a little premature, thereby giving other (not-quite ready) teams a chance to get on a hot run all the way to a league title.

Improve the team and be ready to answer the door when opportunity knocks.

In the playoffs, looks like the usual suspects made it through the first round to the conference finals. While,in the relegation matches, seems certain that the Blue Crew will be back, with a lot of new red faces next year - once again.

My prediction for league finals: an epic 3 match battle between the best two centers in the league: Pistons' Stewart v. Round's Jung. Edge has to go to home court advantage.

I do not consider myself one of the usual suspects as this is my first time ever making the playoffs in D3, let alone winning a playoff matchup. However, I do agree that the finals will most likely be a showdown between the top 2 seeds. I am hoping to see a good series between those 2 to close out the season.

By "usual suspects" I meant the higher ranked home team in each playoff match, not a specific team, clarifies Mr. Kobayashi on behalf of his employer.

Another duel pronged approach to tonight's semi final foray.

First scenes involving our final four

https://youtu.be/eGFqvM9-gQw

Announcer: for two more teams tonight will lead to the continuation of their championship dreams. For two others the ride will end.

Over in the blue bloods odds on favorite Diorite against Cinderella Caerbannog. Do the bunnies have one more miracle left in their bag or will the pistons keep pumping tight to the finale.

While off in club red 2 and fierce will fight it out one last time. Does 2 ride their crest of rebuilding to the promised land or do the kitties claw their way back to the championship series for the second straight season?


Now the montage switches over to showing scenes from those two teams who are already stated to moving on, and of the three that are on the verge of joining them.

https://youtu.be/dxOn-aZZ9z0

For others tonight will mark the end of a difficult journey. But tonight is one last chance to fight against the dying of the light.

The blizzards are resigned to their fate. Tonight they will st least look to extend matters to a third game while the Generals are eager to close the books on a frustrating campaign.


The nation may or may not be ready to send Wadsworth packing though if the stalwarts on the wire do move they will be well compensated.

And spike will prepare to part the scene in their battle with stormz as at least they will get to take a last look goodbye in front of the home folks.

Sybil has her projection of tonight's battles. We will have a special preview of who are the front runners for league MVP and we will go behind the scenes to learn more about the critically acclaimed "Songs from the slaughterhouse" collection and on how it came to be. So sit down in your chair right there, we got all that and more to spare as it's time for another edition of BB2NIGHT
