Yeah, you kicked our asses which we used as the measuring stick for doing a massive upgrading this off-season in prep for AAA. =)

But yea, the 3 seasons thing is not saying your team is bad, just that your measure of respect is. I don't feel I've earned the respect of a division until I've won it.

This is our third season here and we may be here a bit longer as we have refused to ditch our agents to recruit in lvl 50's. I am not ashamed that we are still here in the least. I mean we lost 7 games last season by less than a score and beat were the only team to beat the league champions who outleveled us by a lot. We may have a similar season or get throttled or do really well. Who knows with all the changes.

The fact the promotion system is flawed and basically forces you to gut to continue to be successful is troubling but a challenge for us. Would I lobby to play in this tournament? nah. I would gladly accept an invite to play in it tho as it is nice to be called a superb team in such a tough league.

Thanks and good luck to all this season,

PHP is definitely one of the best in this entire league. Especially with the level of players you guys have. I would gladly support you guys representing this league in the tourney.

It was only a scrimmage though. Nobody plans for them. Results could change with scouting and changing gameplans.

Yup...but it did expose our OL and DL as significantly inferior...which is really tough to overcome with tactics...hopefully our offseason has helped address that...

I have a lot of respect for AAA ball, which is why the Platypi worked incredibly hard this offseason...and I'm still not sure we did enough...haha.

I do think the sim changes help certain teams and since we weren't one of the copycat power back strong i slam teams, we should benefit from that (not saying anyone here was...haven't checked).

I saw your levels and they are definitely under the average but your performance on the field is definitely a real threat not to be taken lightly...teams that obviously gameplan well are a real challenge from a DC's perspective because you can never quite be sure what they will throw at you.

Nobody in this league took advantage of the Strong Islam crap! Lol. It's a very good league to play in. I didn't even have a powerback on AAD but do now. Got rid of our level 38 backup scat back for a level 49 brusier. Now we have thunder AND lightning. I know they are getting nerfed but it's an upgrade for us.

Wish I had him last season!! The agent has had other players on my team for a couple seasons and thankfully brought him in when he became a FA day 40. I was stoked! He has flaunted his stats to me over the past few seasons and i always told him to bring him to AAD when he was available.

There are a ton of great teams in AAA regions across GLB. Unfortunately, there isnt a Tourney or outlet to find out who are the best of the best. Until now.....

Introducing...the 1st Annual Modok's AAA Invitational http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2487458&page=1#21058626

I have assembled a committee that will invite 4 of the best teams from each of the 16 AAA leagues for a 64 Team, single elimination bracket divided into 4 regions, named for legendary GLB teams that are no longer - Yetis, Nighthawks, Mustangs, and Aces. Each region will feature 1 team from each of the 16 leagues, seeded by the committee, and your team has been selected to receive one of those invitations.

The winners of the 4 regions (the final four) will receive $10 prizes via paypal, with the winner of the tournament overall receiving an additional 25$. When the matchups are released, each lower seed team will have 3 days to challenge the higher seed team they are slated to play. After that, the higher seed team will have 24 hours to accept the challenge. The scheduling rule is the same format as Hazy's FPG.

Here is the list of invited teams - keep in mind it is subject to change should some teams elect to decline their invitations.

We will need confirmation of your acceptance by the morning of Thursday, April 16th.

Why is there even a discussion about AAD/Platypi? Bottom line is you havent been in AAA yet, doesnt matter what you have done before you got here and it doesnt matter what your roster looks like. AAA is a different level totally. A and AA are a joke compared to the teams here, anyone can beat anyone here. We came in and lost games we shouldnt and beat teams we shouldnt have, especially with that crack ass sim last season.

Not saying the Platypi are not a solid team, they have to be to get here but I think you are going to be in for a shock thinking you are good enough to represent this league without ever beating anyone who is here now.

PHP is one of the most well run teams I have had the pleasure of being around and a solid crew, and they have done their time and shown they can hang with anyone at this level while being under leveled. I wouldnt be shocked to see them go further than anyone of the other teams here altho Boston is stout.

If BoB isn't interested then Beltway will step up the plate. We finished in 5th last year and beat PHP something everyone appears to have forgotten.

No offense head, but I don't need a lecture on AAA ball. The Outlaws went 16-0 in USA AAA#1 last season. I know exactly how big a jump it is.

And how many times do I need to repeat that AAD was never compared to the Platypi?

A lot of teams beat them, including BCP which was the lowest level team in the conference, if not the league.
