The 1st Atrocious 60s Championship came to an end and surprinsgly the crown went to the 19 year old Osterreich's Manuel Zehetgruber, with various atrocious exhibitions along the tournment. In the final match, Manuel, seed #49, broke the record, with an impressive PIR of minus 24! It included 0 pts, 6 turnovers and 19 missed field goals.
The second worst player goes to Han-Sub "HANGUK" Yang, another 19 year old, and the podium closes with the brazilian Ramiro Lima Barreto, aged 55. 4th and 5th place were Sören "LUXEMBOURG" Parker and Fernando "REP. DOMINICANA" Campero.

Hope you enjoyed the competition. I'll let you know soon the system for the second season.
Best regards,

The Atrocious 60s Manager

This has been a rollercoaster of emotions!

Thank you for this experience

Thanks you. It was very funny!!
Remember to write the history of worst players, for the infinity glory !!!
So..in this tournament we can see how 19yo are worst than 70 yo! I LOVE THAT!!!

Thank you for this.

I even bought the lithuanian player representing this tournament, loved every single of your posts!

Keep doing this!

Thank you all for the kind words!

The season 2 is coming and The Atrocious 60s Board of Directors have some news that would like to share with the community:

- As a result of the excellent work carried out in season 1, half of our communication team was hired by a rival company. So, it is possible that there are glitches in the launch of the pre-games.

- As a club concerned with social sustainability, it was decided never to fire players over 40 years old. Basketball has always been their livelihood, and it would not be right to throw them into unemployment at an advanced age.

- Our squad will be divided into 5 pots of 12 players, depending on the classification of the previous season. The first round games will be drawn, taking one player from each pot. In pot 5 will be the rookies of this season. Pot 1 players cannot be fired either.

Soon we will publish the list of the glorious Atrocious 60s players.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Atrocious 60s Championship, where basketball is played with the minimum of skill and the maximum of confusion!
In this first round, we highlight two miserable performances:

Esteban "PARAGUAY" Torales seemed more lost on the court than a headless chicken! He could barely hold onto the ball and his shots looked more like a game of darts in the dark. Who knows, maybe he should try a less demanding sport, like sleeping! But for now, he will advance to round 2.

Kaspars "LATVIJA" Lahanciks, on the other hand, made herculean attempts to score points, but it seemed the stars were not aligned for him! He couldn't hold onto the ball for more than two seconds, and his shots were as accurate as an arrow shot by a blind man. He will be advancing to the next round.

The rookie Aurelijus "LIETUVA" Kluonis will be fired, after his incredible performance.

I wish they went into market, already have one of the lithuanians.

God damn I'm sick of us being so good on the court

Quick update from today. Rupertas Stozubas (Lithuanian player in this tournament) just lost me a cup game against a bot.

Now thats a new low
