Hmm NT ethusiasm is different than club enthusiasm, since you play only 1 game a week. I think if you CT with 5 you play at least 2 games with an enthusiasm below five, which is a lot when you play only 5 games untill knock-out.

Starting with 5 enthusiasm
So CT in the 1st game, enthusiasm back to normal at game 4, if you tie 4 and 5 you only have about 7 or something.

Just a guess.

round 3
http://www.buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/ntstandings.aspx?TeamID...
my prediction for pool a: france, brasil, italy, canada will promote except hong-kong gets lucky...
pool b: very tough pool probably the enthusiasm is the key...

Canada vs. Brasil brasil should be little better...
Italia vs. Tounes italy will easily destroy tounes
Hong Kong vs. France france should have no prob...
Deutschland vs. Nigeria germany should make it...
Australia vs. España spain is to strong for australia (ct last game?)...
Argentina vs. United States usa should win otherwise juice is gettin probs with popularity ^^

hope to cu in the chat http://ntusa.ecct2.com/chat/flashchat.php

france and brasil already qualified, i think spain and italy to, but im not so good at math ^^

today?s games:

Brasil vs. France tie game and we find out who`s the better one...
Tounes vs. Canada can canada come back from the dead?
Italia vs. Hong Kong easy win for italy
United States vs. España very interesting game states still under pressure better win to stay alive.
Deutschland vs. Australia i pray for germanys comeback and hope we get better luck this time...
Nigeria vs. Argentina well argentina should win it , but you never know nigeria with a big chance if they win they probably go for the next round.

Well, you do need 2 African qualifiers, and Nigeria has certainly justified their berth.

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 know everything Juice but it`s still strange to see those two teams in WC (= And i think that the most interesting NT cut is EC... Much more strong teams...

Tounes vs. Canada can canada come back from the dead?


I wouldn't really say we're coming back from the dead... it wasn't my goal to be 0-3 before today, but I completely expected it.

very strange game endings on Germany x Australia and Spain x USA.

WIth the game tied, USA had 22 seconds left but didn't burn the clock, went for a three-pointer with 11 seconds left. And then Spain fouls on the shot!! Weird, but I guess it could happen. USA hit 2 of the 3 FTs and Spain missed the game-winner threy at the buzzer.

But this one was worst. Australia ties the game with less than 24 secs. Then they foul Germany and sent them to the line for some reason. The germans score both FTs. Then Australia comes and Germany fouls them too... They hit both FTs and the game is tied again, very few seconds left. All very strange but I guess this also could happen. But then in the last possession, Germany burns the clock, doesn't get a shot off before the buzzer, but Australia fouls them with 0 seconds left. Not a shooting foul (which would be terrible but could happen), but a normal foul, like a reaching foul or something like that, at the buzzer... Very very strange. Germany hits the FTs, wins the game, and ruins Australia's chances.
