We're back by popular demand

Bort said the season will start on Sunday with the 1st preseason games to be played on Monday. I want to give everyone plenty of time to scout the new additions from AAA and look at the changes to the old Pro rosters.

We'll see when our preseason games start and I'll open votes as soon as those 1st games end. We'll run it the same way as last year with a few minor tweaks. We'll stop the poll on Week 14, by that point opinions are worthless and the standings speak for themselves. We'll also tally the points as follows:

1st place vote = 20 points
2nd place vote = 18 points
3rd place vote = 16 points
etc etc etc... This should eliminate ties on the final list each week. I'll also post how many points each team earned next to their name on the list this year.

For everyone who just joined APL, welcome to the poll!! This is how we run it...

After each game, one person from each team can submit their choice of the Top 10 teams in APL in order from 1 to 10 to me in a PM. Please put your team name in the header. You can vote for anyone you want regardless of conference, including your own team. You can only vote for a team once per list, don't be a smart ass and vote your own team 1 thru 10 like some 2 game team did last year, I'll toss that list. Only 1 list will be accepted per team per game, so decide who will represent you each week. If two people from the same team send in a list I'll count the first one I get. I never reveal who voted for whom, it is all done by secret ballot, so vote your heart with no questions asked.

I usually close the voting the following night when I get home from work between 5 and 6 PM EST. I tally up the points and post the results here. I do not vote...ever. (My rankings suck, just ask anyone who was here last year hahaha) I just report what is sent to me each game, with a little fun info attached at the end.

I hope you all take advantage of this poll. It's pretty fun and people seem to enjoy reading and debating the results. If your team isn't ranked as high as you think they should be, the 1st question you have to ask is "Is your team voting?"

I'm looking forward to another great year in APL. Last year had a very exciting finish to an awesome season, let's keep it just as fun this year.

Good Luck everyone!!

It was really fun voting last year, if I were around I'd totally do it again and anyone who does vote for their team, it'll be well worth your time.

I'm not sure how doubling the point totals is going to help eliminate ties though Toad, but imo the ties really werent a bad thing anyway, just showed how evenly balanced 3 - 10 in this league was.

Hehehe well last year I did it by allotting 10 points for 1st, 9 for 2nd etc, with less points separating the ranks it was much easier to get a tie. Now getting a higher ranking will be weighed more, so we'll see if it works. You may be right and I'm just making more work for myself but that's OK, my brain could use the work. Wish you were around this year bro, you're gonna miss a serious run by the Kings

Yeah but if you just double the points, you'd still be tied

Team A gets a 10th place vote and a 8th place vote, was 1+3 = 4 and now it's 2+6=8
Team B gets two 9th place votes. Was 2+2=4 but now it's 4+4=8.

It was just time to move on from the Kings, but I'll be checking in and cheering for you guys. Truth of the matter is I already miss APL. One team in Lion sent me an offer the day I was a FA, I should have signed with them probably

And back on topic: Every team should participate in this, I miss it already.

I'm guessing that you are gonna say Bugeaters, based upon that being the team you are a GM on and nothing else.

Angola Dream and Cape Verde though look quite tough to me this season though.

I honestly don't know who Bugeaters recruited other than a level 25 WR, either or, I know we'll boost better than everyone else.

Cape Verde Kings:

Average Starter Level:
Offense: 39.7
Defense: 37.3
Average Backup Level:
Offense: 37.3
Defense: 37.0

Botswana Bugeaters:

Average Starter Level:
Offense: 39.4
Defense: 38.0
Average Backup Level:
Offense: 34.4
Defense: 34.9

I'll be the first to say that Levels certainly are not everything, and I'll happily concede that the Bugeaters have a great team in place for the season. However, you guys will definately have to spend your points wisely when you boost this coming season, especially with your backups, as in many positions, backups play practically as much as the starters. Nothing is guaranteed to anyone this season. Good luck Lion Conference, let's make it 2 straight wins in the League Championship!


P.S. I will vote for Cape Verde this season if no one else minds. I'm not sure if Dlee or Kid Roz will have the time as each one is running a team now, and your not voting since your running it toad. I'll do my best to be fair and objective (except if D3 somehow gets thrown in this league, then all objectivity is out the window.)

I heart Cape Verde Kings 4ever.

Although I'm guessing Cameroon's avg. levels were 2-3 below the mentioned above.
