Warrior General Games

Cant wait til LHH beat us... then you can actually lol! hehe!

With the realignment going on between Pro and AAA, it's possible someone else from the league will move up. If I'm following the promotion tree correctly, it would be The Look.

Indeed, Vandals & The Look have been promoted

So did Athens... but we're now Alpha. WTF??? No more LOL@Alpha

LOL@ferrymen

weird it wasnt the Panthers or the Stackers to move up, but who cares...
I did not like the ferrymen anyway...

baaah, good luck your slackers... wasnt it you in the beginning of the season who was worried about getting any wins? with this tempo you'll be in the pros next season

I am slightly perplexed at Athens move. Fair play to them as they are a quality team, but how come they moved over us...?

I dont know your situation but here are the tiebreakers. Maybe it came down to random?
------------------------------------
Rules for promotions to fill the spots of sold teams:
Since we've got to fill the slots of sold teams that will be vacated at the end of this season, promotion order will be sorted by the following criteria and season stats, in order, amongst the eligible teams in the 2 leagues below them:

1. Number of playoff victories
2. Number of playoff games participated in (this covers the first round losers over the non playoff teams)
3. Postseason scrimmage wins (not friendlies)
4. Postseason scrimmage ties (not friendlies)
5. Avg playoff game points differential
6. Avg postseason scrimmage points differential
7. Avg playoff points scored
8. Avg postseason scrimmage points scored
9. Avg playoff points allowed (lower is better)
10. Avg postseason scrimmages points allowed (lower is better)
11. Regular season wins
12. Regular season ties
13. Regular season points scored
14. Regular season points against (lower is better)
15. Random selection.

Looks like it came down to playoff point differential. That game vs. The Look really hurt you guys.

Urry, You can spill out the truth, you're pissed and you have every right to be. So does Swedish Stackers and Moscow Bears, all of which IMO should have been promoted ahead of us.

I noticed the problem with tiebreakers when first announced, but I figured it would never come to it. Here is the thing that put Athens ahead of Prague, Swedish and Moscow :

3. Postseason scrimmage wins (not friendlies)

Completely ridiculous that this weighs heavier than so many other things. We were 2-0 in postseason scrims, beating both Moscow and Swedish. You (Prague) went 1-1, losing to Moscow. That meant that Athens was the only 2-0 team out of the four and that's what promoted us ahead of the other three teams.

I guess Bort sees it as valid since the four teams in question will play two out of the possible three teams, leaving a clear cut "who is better". However, post season scrims are meaningless, as I'm sure like us at Athens, we didn't pay attention to them at all and did nothing for game planning.

planning or no planning... you beat us fair and sqaure... But you just better get to the pros next season coz the bears are gonna get up to AAA and we got your number!!
There's hell to be payed back for making us sit in this shithole for another season. We gonna rub your all in honey and let the cows lick it off.... yeah, this gonna be sweet... oh wait, no... this would be a total waste of perfectly good honey... dam you ferrymen, dam you.

Yeah does Bort think we take postseason scrimmages all that seriously?

ive got no sympathy for any team that wanted to be promoted but didnt "pay attention to postseason scrims." bort had posted that list way in advance so if moving up was your goal and you didnt take the postseason scrims seriously, then you're either illiterate or retarded.

we didnt pay attention to scrims or planning for them

anyways prague thats what you get for lying about your intentions

have fun in gut ville

Nah it's cool Iggy, I was just looked forward to us, you and Volgograd smacking the crap out of each other next season! We always had good games against Athens and it's a shame the rivalry is already over. I have strengthened my team already so I am in a pretty decent shape to follow you guys up!

Thought it may have come down to the scrim games or the point differential (hadn't thought of that one though). Just make sure you boys to forget us down in AA, so that when we get promoted we can kick off the rivalries where we left off!

I suppose that includes you Tobias

Sadly, it looks like the rivalry is over for good as I'm now an Alpha team
