You know... I've heard enthusiasm gets stale, so Visionaries should definitely refresh for the cup with a normal or CT vs. their 6/4/2011 league opponent. (whoever that may be)...no other reason than that. >.>

But for real, TIE is a good idea. Up in the air what I'm going to do otherwise. Visionaries will beat me, so that means only 2 games, right? (no chance for a scrimmage?)

Looking to be a bad week for me... My very misleading 5 straight 100 pt games (league + cup) will end, probably going to lose both games, minutes will be screwed up, & no home game revenue..

Actually, you will be able to schedule a scrimmage if you lose. I lost on tues of allstar week last season and scheduled a scrimmage.

1) if you lose you can get a scrimmage like usual
2) if we both forfeit, home team advances

edit: oops, responded to the wrong person. sleepy.

Got this from the help forum -- Argentina Cup finals season 15: (32409714) Both teams forfeited & each only got a silver trophy! So there was no winner effectively.

Also this: (23028923) The score is 0-0. & yeah, home team got credit for a win. But.. the 5th place team played in the relegation game!! (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/212/overview.aspx?seas...) Yet they still picked behind the 6th place team in the draft. So it's a win, but it's not a win. Except when it's a win.

Interesting. For the cup finals example, the 'home' team got "In season 15, El Matador de Victoria won the Copa Argentina" in their team history.

That one where the 5th place team played in relegation is really freaky though. It looks like the 6th place team got the 5th place free pass slot. Seems like a bug?? But it was 3 seasons ago so who cares.

And I'm not so sure you will lose, I beat you pretty bad last season but that was at home and on more effort. I think your team has improved more than mine in the interim It should be a painfully low scoring game where anything can happen~

Didn't see the team history page before. But on the *main* page for El Matador it says: "Copa Argentina Runner-up, Season 15" (when you put your mouse over their trophy)

The other might not be a bug. Because both teams each won 9 "real" games. & the 5th place team forfeited 1 more game than the 6th place team. So maybe when 2 teams forfeit... it's only a "fake" win for the home team? That explains why El Matador didn't get the trophy either.

Not sure what will happen. That fancy new C you picked up worries me. But other than that, just don't think I can match your starters. You've got 4 players making over $50k & I've only got 1. Worst match-up: your staring SF makes $58k, while mine makes $13k, lol.

Yeah but your players (and team, for that matter) put up ratings as good as mine. If you weren't carrying 18 guys for some reason, it'd be easy to say you've built a better team than me

We both know the real matchup to watch is Ilmar vs. Beda for sideline reporter / PR aide.

Nice win. It was 2 vs. 1: me and the refs vs. you, lol. GL in the next round.

haha, I was 100% sure you would play look inside. Remember reading somewhere that EDH Wolves said 3-2 zone was a really bad idea against LI. Figured you'd win anyway, so wanted to test it... Wow, shocked you only had 83 points with 1 minute left! (before the intentional fouling & my 3pt shooting clinic.) 3-2 zone vs LI doesn't seem so awful after all. certainly way better than 2-3 zone vs motion..?

Why are you such a bully shikago? I'm scared to play you again...although with the way my team is playing now we might combine for 60 PFs.

Forreal, I started worry whether I'd have players left for crunch time.

I've had mixed results with 3-2 vs. LI. Back when I had a real team, I used to 3-2 a lot and even vs. LI it was fine. Then I replaced all my Cs with younger, weaker ones, and all of a sudden 3-2 was TERRIBLE vs. LI. In your situation, obviously LI is alright. I didn't shoot the lights out or dominate the boards, just barely got enough to win.
