Oh please. ATKM wasn't going to score 62 points on the Blaze legitimately. You had no chance going into that game and you had to have known it.
Blaze would not have scored 62 points if ATKM wasn't scoring so quickly. They only scored 6 points in their first 5 possessions. But getting scored on so quickly allowed them to have 20 possessions on offense.
The point is, certainly Blaze are very heavy favorites in that matchup, but predicted game results are nothing and actual game results are everything.

I think we would have scored more tbh. They would have gotten behind and we would have not took our foot off the pedal.

It was wrong for me to say they wouldn't. I should have said, "I think they wouldn't." That's the point though. You think they would have scored more than 62 points. jdb thinks they would have won easily, and so do I. But it doesn't matter what we think would have happened.

I would feel bad for Dana....but why? Really? All the bad games he said to everyone? All the shit talking he does? When this has happened to others what did he do? Oh..and he posted build info on one of my players about a week ago...could this be why he isn't posting?
My guess is he fucked it up himself on purpose so he would have something to cry about.

My guess is he got his ass kicked! Look at the D set ups and their prior games and you'll see he got schooled! He's a jerk and now, he is just showing it again with his sandy vag whining

I'm an agent that has been around since Season 1. I have the occasional dot that gets sent to the big dance, and didn't start owning a team until 10 seasons ago. That said, I still, after many seasons of just lurking this forum and enjoying the banter (and it's certainly better than lurking a shitty collapsed Regional Pro or National forum), I still feel that this is my end goal with my own team, before I finally retire. From that standpoint, I wish for this league to be the best of the best, each and every season.
I know that even on a good day, the team I've assembled, (albeit young -- pfft, as if that were a real minus), couldn't hold the Blaze's jock. Blaze is a great team with great dots, and great personalities, regardless if quite a few are forum villains. World League needs teams like the Blaze, whether you want to stick to a GLB policy or not. Those dots aren't going to stay put in USAPL another season to beat up on Perennial Pro Teams. Those dots are going to move up and bolster already stacked rosters up in World League. The only thing you'd be killing off would be the symbolism of the team Chocolate Blaze promoting. At that point, what did you honestly win?
Maybe promotion needs tweaking to start considering Ranked Scrimmages, Stats during the Regular Season, Niboris-type Rankings, or even a player vote, Pro League Tourney Results, etc.. It might provide some extra incentive to care more about the regular season, GLB Tourney games and ranked scrimmages, vs. lolAI. Just a random thought.

So, why play the playoffs? lol that's horrible.
If there's extra spots, your suggestion has merit, but CCG (Or CG only) winners should move up, otherwise fuck the playoffs.

I think my emphasis was more on making the Regular season and other games being slightly higher than simply 0 cares, and coasting on 0 game planning, only builds. But........yea, I can see where you would get 'fuck the playoffs' from all that.
CG Winner would make complete sense, that's the best of both leagues, then let the rest of the formula fill the rest out, including demoting World League teams, which should be included, as they arguably had a much tougher schedule than a promoting Pro Team.
