not really, I just respectfully disagree. That is all, these guys work their butts off to put this together! I think they are great! I just question their reasoning. They themselves gave Athens,/Texathena credit for last seasons results, yet they obviously did not do the same for us after reaching the semis and finishing 4th. They also seeded at least one team that we beat handily last season above us! SO as much as I respect them, I disagree with their conclusions!


When the rankings first got done, that was one of the points I brought up, I mentioned that I thought that Las Vegas should be a little bit higher in the seedings; however, I was told that this year's version of the sim wasn't as kind to your squad and that your run game hadn't been that potent as it was last season and that your ranking was a fair one.

It's not completely unreasonable for you to win your group or at the very least finish 2nd in your group and beat Wellington/Rotterdam/Other. if you don't win your group. I look forward to all the naysayers winning out and proving to me that these rankings are flawed.

Fair Enough, but the 2 games we lost were to Bridgetown and Diablo. No exactly two weak teams and we were tied with Bridgetown at half before we had a Morale spiral of Epic proportions in the 2nd half. (I have read that this same thing has happened to many other very good teams!) TBH, except for the the 2 other teams I mentioned previously, I think Bridgetown and Diablo would pretty much manhandle any other teams in the tournament. In other words, to judge us on THOSE 2 games may have been a little premature on your adviser's parts... then again, and i hope this is not the case, they could be right! .. and THAT is why we play the game!.. I wish the best of luck to all!

fwiw, jim, i submitted a VERY thought out 8 divisionals, it took me approx 2 hours. I took every consideration from games played inner conference already, to present results and past success.

It was 95% ignored even know i probably follow all Pro, AAA and AA casual leagues closer then anyone here.

That being said, i had you at #6, which could easily, easily been 5th, i just like the Fuggers a little more at this time, thats.

I will let this go and let the games do the talking now since it is out of our hands. I think the biggest thing we forget is this:

This is a sponsored tourny, with FP winnings on the line. That is really the most grateful thing we can take to the bank.......If it was for only a LOLgif then maybe we would have more say, but winning FP is my focus........

The REAL eye on the prize is the Pro casual league my friend!

Foy will be 2-1 comig out of our division, sorry vike fan. They stratigically set a long scim date against us knowing half there roster will and can boost to level 72 before our game......they are THAT dangerous to take our whole division mybe, trust me, i've already played them this season...the tourny organizers did not see that i guess.....
