I'll confess that I would have considered voting for HPP. Not because of his rep as a manager or past experience and exploits at the NT level, but because his self depreciating speech and promises I don't fully understand pulled me in. They always do. My vote wouldn't have been for him in any case this season.

I don't have much to debate if there are only 2 people still running that have posted here. I think Future NBA Hall of Famer should hold off for a term or two before he can more respectfully run for this.

It's hidden away in a carefully concealed thread called "Election Rules" pinned to the top of your forum ;)

At 6am CET three days before the end of the election, the election pool will be reduced to a second round containing the top five candidates, plus ties, plus those with at least 5% of the total number of votes. No new registrations will be allowed after this time.

you said in an earlier comment that we have to win 1 of the 2 tough games to advance. You do realize that you only need to come top 4 to advance past the first stage right? It kind of scares me that you didn't know that lol


It should not scare you as it was just poorly writen :)

I do understand that, but positioning of advancement is massive. Obviously a higher finish could mean an easier draw in the next round.

Zing!!

I am learning on the fly, what more can I say. I did read thru the Election rules, just never had that stick with me. Much like University I guess, I can honestly say I did ask their names, but for the life of me I can't remember many of them :)

I am guessing there are a bunch of teams tied with 1 vote each, so they get in.

I have yet to vote but I will also be voting for me, thanks!!

I got some questions

1) if you are Elected, how would this affect your activity on this game

2) how many players do you think is the optimal amount for any team (including NT)

1) Not sure it will change anything. I have the ability to spend a fair amount of free time on here and will continue to do that. My plan will be to focus first on the NT then on my GM duties and lastly on my club team. I am in tough in Naismith this season so will really only trying to train efectively and not relegate. The NT woulld be my focus and I am really looking forward to the challenge and excitement it will provide.

2) Depends on what a team is training and if they are training one or two positions. My personal team is always around 12-13 as it has worked best for managing gameshape. The plan for the NT will be to carry 10 until there is a reason to add additional players. Those reasons could include poor gameshape, lack of training, player development etc. Around the half way point of season the NT will likely have 12 players and could add one more prior to seasons end.

Ok, I will jump back to the question about the perfect PF. Everybody wants secondary skills but whats the cut off. If we take the player stated earlier
JS 13 Jr 6
OD 7 HN 7
DR 9 PA 10
IS 15 ID 17
RB 15
Would you never consider this player for your NT (given both are perfectly kept at top GS):
JS 12 Jr 6
OD 6 HN 7
DR 8 PA 7
IS 17 ID 17
RB 17
If not, are there any values on IS,ID and RB that would make you chose the second player over the first?

If you dont like the example you can use the all outside skills over 8, if instead all are just 7, how much better must that player be inside to be considered or would he never?
