The math for ELO is actually pretty straightforward and for a ranking system, simple. In GLB2's case, though, I think that simplicity is working against it. We need teams to be able to move up versus the other tiers eventually, but there needs to be checks in place to prevent things like a rookie team playing a seasoned team.

So instead of rookies playing seasoned, limit them to just sophomore, and even that not until the final third of the season. As teams go up and the differences between tiers get smaller, you can loosen up those restrictions making it more likely that teams can play up a tier. Then maybe at Journeyman or something, remove the restrictions altogether as at that point the extra SP's and SA points will only be translating into tiny advantages.

339 yards isn't too bad all things considered.

Factor in the sack yardage and the four fumbles we forced from the QB and I wouldn't call it struggling. Nevermind the near shutout we pitched (http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/51961/2862961 Clearly lands OOB btw ).

Plus the all-important factor: Da win.

He was talking about his team, Ghost.

That was really solid play. I can't wait to see more stuff play out.

And I wouldn't be too overconfident. The rng went your way this time but I wouldn't count on it becoming a pattern.

Overconfident?

Given how strong your offense was, wasn't expecting to hold you scoreless until the last half minute of the game.

Good game Falcons.


Look at me saying the defense performed better than expected because your offense is good and congratulating you on a game well played. God I'm such an insufferable prick.

Well I mean I guess I am, but NOT ABOUT THIS

Adderfist and Justiciable sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes a troll thread on a message board for simball in which the two of them start out bickering before the scene goes all When Harry Met Sally with Justiciable faking an orgasm while Adderfist tries to figure out which outside blitz will cover his embarrassment, and then the of them run off to Vegas to get married not realizing that Nevada still has a same sex marriage ban on the books that won't be overturned until 2015 at the earliest leaving the two of them stranded at a drive in marriage chapel while an Elvis impersonator tells Adderfist, "Boy, you sure do got a purdy mouth" which makes Justiciable fly into a jealous rage and kills Elvis by repeatedly stepping on his blue suede shoes at which point Justy and Adder steal a convertible and race into the desert at which point the LSD starts to kick in and Adderfist puts on a pair of yellow tinted sunglasses before crawling all over the car while Justiciable drives them all the way to the Grand Canyon where they stare into each others eyes, hold hands, and then gun the covertible over the edge of canyon.

I don't fake orgasms.

I give the ladies all the fake orgasms they can handle.

HEH HEH H-wait.

Aye. Good game.

And scoring fast is kinda our thing. I mean, we have Quincy Carter, the greatest Dallas Cowboy QB EVAR leading that offense

The reason Rookie teams end up playing Seasoned teams is because there's "checks" in place to make teams favor their tier, that I still haven't convinced Bort to remove.

QB running teams are so lame. Guess next time ill scout to see teams and see if they have a running QB. Only gimmick that can beat us atm.
