Hello all.

I'm doing an interview about SB on the blog, and I am looking for people to participate. I am mainly looking for people who strongly support the training and use of SB, but those who strongly oppose it are fine too. It just seems easier to find those who oppose it. Again, I am looking for people who have a very strong opinion. I do not want anyone who is in the middle. If you are interested contact me as soon as possible. I'd like to get the article up within the next week. Thanks.

Ask bb-charles. All his players auctioned off because of his looming bankruptcy had good shotblocking skills.

I am aware of what happened to Charles, haha. BTW if BB's don't have time for the game itself, I doubt they'd have time for a silly interview :D

I oppose shot blocking. I don't see the benefits of wasting cap space and causing the jump in salary. Look at BB-Charles and SB. I would rather have ID.

My team opposes putting the ball into the basket. Not very helpful either.

Just posted a new article on the blog. Here it is:

B3's Top 32: A Closer Look

Two games have now been played in Season 19’s highly anticipated B3 tournament, and things are starting off as exciting as ever. Spartan 300 currently leads the pack, with Napálsko very close behind. Although these teams are virtually tied for first (both starting off 2-0) do they really deserve their positions right now when 45 other teams have also won their first two games? According to these teams point differential they do, but PD really does not give us give us a good indication on who leads the pack. At a quick glance high PD looks good, but they could have played two teams from the Bahamas for all we know!

So that’s why I decided to come up with a simple RPI (ratings percentage index) formula that will hopefully give us a better indication on who the best teams are. The formula takes into account a team’s world ranking during each individual game, their opponents world ranking during the same game, PD, and wins/losses (of course the teams I will be ranking today are all 2-0). So who really deserves that #1 spot? Let’s take a look!
