I might also be cool for other people to offer to do some posts! Having just promoted out of Div III.9, I'd be happy to follow that league along. Or, do you really want to do them all yourself? Key do being a good manager is to delegate....

I've been preparing writeups for DIII.13

If anyone wants to post writeups, be my guest! :) this thread is all about showcasing div III and trying to get some more community involvement and forum activity!

If you want to claim a league to post writeups on, just post here beforehand what league you want and then I know not to do it!

So Markruh you want III.13 and Coach Coach you want III.9?

@Beener, I probably will end up doing div II writeups, no worries :)

Having just promoted from Div III 7
and perhaps even heading back there
I could do that one

last season you did a great job, but i felt that there was something missing, as we didn't to a continuing piece after the finals, and i would love for a recap, and a forecast on how the team will do this season!

Dont worry everyone! I have not forgotten about this :) im just flooded with U21 duties right now :P i will get back to this once I can get into a steady weekly routine with my managerial responisbilities!

Sorry!

Not sure exactly how this was supposed to be handled but here I go:

Division III.7

The Big 8

This is essentially a 6 team race, 3 in each division
With The Headless Thompson Gunners surprisingly moving up, the Big 8 got tougher as the Canadian Steamrollers dropped down.
The Steamrollers will rely on their big 4, Big Men Nikolay Mitev and Zino Božali plus guards Kazin Menderes and Serapinas Mucharskis.
There's not much depth right now and no trainees at the moment that will make a difference.
The Shufflers and the Quebec Pugs battled for 2nd and 3rd place the last 2 years, each making a trip but coming up empty in the division final.
No big stars on the well balanced Shufflers though 22 year old Canadian Center Vladyslav Polovko surely will be one.
The Pugs feature league scoring champ Giorgio Tinuper and a group of improving youngsters, 22 year old SF Michalas Potamias and big men 21 year old Pietro Paulo Staudacher and Canada's 20 year old Jeremiah Estep.
The Oshawa Lemons, Darwin Dynamos and Manitoba Marksmen once vied for division honours but have fallen off in recent seasons.

The Great 8

The Great 8 was once a tough division to just stay afloat in, that is no longer the case.
The Top 4 will crush the bottom half.
Following relegation from Div II in season 16 it looked as though the Dream Shakers were odds on to move back up.
Something went wrong in the final as they were swept by HTG.
Surely they have vowed to make amends.
Led by league MVP Beñat Briceño they look to hold off The perennial contending Devildogs and Mississauga Rainmakers.
The Devildogs took a step in the Shakers direction with the recent addition os Israeli Center Eden Erez, giving them a 3 headed monster with C Naum Tropanikhin and 23 year old Canadian SG Massimo Gaeta.
The Rainmkers will rely heavily on their star Canadian SG Rien Molleman.
No chance that any but these 3 will contend.
The Ranimakers and Devildogs have been very good for 3 seasons in this league but just short.
Both a combined 51-15 in that time but they are still minor underdogs to the Shakers.
All 3 of course have plenty of time to change the course.

this wait is killing me :P kidding

Mine's coming, probably this w/e. No time today!

So your doing III.9, Coach? I was thinking of throwing something together, but if you got it covered then I'll wait for yours. Anyone else got a review for their league? Any ideas on how to get Canadian GM's to post more and be more active on the forums and in the community?
