I think Natellio paid the refs.

I didn't even pay them that much, though. I think they just had it out for Smedlock.

inside box and one looks like a problematic defense. have you used it before?

The only times I've used the box defenses are when I'm sure my opponent is going to rely on a single beast player. It's worked for me a few times, but I don't know that I've seen enough for it to be reliable.

After 6 games, here are the current rankings. I've added notations after each team which explains if you're trending up or down. This doesn't necessarily mean you've moved in the rankings, but rather refers to the little number I use. It basically just says if you're getting better or worse.

Hats off to lakey, who typically finds themselves around the 4-7 range in the Great 8, but has reeled off 3 straight wins against good competition to put themselves in the conversation as a contender. You get the surprise of the season award.

Thanks for the compliment. It's all an illusion I think you see more in my team than I do

Belloso was a great inexpensive pickup

Howdy everyone, Portland Red Claws reporting in (bit late sorry). Struggle with Depth, how about just struggle altogether! Not sure that I was ready to advance to the III league, but hope to learn from the experience while I'm here. :)

First week of inter-league play, and we've got a shift on the #1 team. 3ball pulls ahead on the back of superior ratings and a higher point differential (I thought you were focusing on training??? Lies.). The two teams meet in 6 days in what should be the most anticipated match up of the season.

The Great 8 could not hold serve at home in the first set of games, allowing the Big 8 to take the early lead 5-3. While the two leagues are closer in terms of talent this season than in season's past, I still expect the Big 8 to win the majority of these games.

Hats off to Southpoint, who improved their rating 5.5 points and moved up 4 spots from last week.
