I'll do two preseason rankings. one now just so the rotten tomatoes can be thrown and one on day -2 after a preseason game has been played.

Preseason rankings #1

1 Kingston Uprising
2 Tasmania Tigers
3 Guadalcanal Gunners
4 Samoa Gangsters
5 Sydney Jelly Birds
6 Knox Nightmares
7 Olden Swillers
8 Atlantis Lost Souls
9 Samoa Flying Foxes
10 Solomon Islands Alchemy
11 Vanuata Volcano
12 Brisbane Bulldogs
13 Orcland Raiders
14 Chillicothe Convicts
15 Perth Pirates
16 Rip City Reign
Personally I think 7 out of JB's top 8 teams will make the playoffs... Olden being the most vulnerable. You never know what's going to happen during a season though, Sydney might not gel, the Gangsters might forget to send the proper payment to the authorities, Knox might fail to score a single point all season, etc. It feels like there's a definite gap between the top 3 teams and the rest, but not much of a gap at all within "the rest."

I know scouting bars mean absolutely DICK! I'm not whining to become "ranked" higher because in all seriousness, i couldn't really care any less what you outsiders think about our place in this league. I'm merely asking what goes into deciding who is ranked where. Period. Or am i not allowed to do so?


You're more than allowed. Doesn't mean I'm not going to respond. But, then again, it should have been obvious that the rankings weren't based on scouting bars due to your placement

I wasn't trying to be confrontational, but too many guys have come up here thinking high scout bars would make them into the next great team...only to go 8-8 and miss the playoffs.

Like I said earlier, good luck this season. You guys don't seem bad at all -- heck, you've gone after a couple of my players at some point. So you've got SOMETHING going for you there


Understood coach. I'm just keeping the thread alive as i've stated before. I personally appreciate the effort and time JB put into it . Keep up the good work man.


I've learned long ago, if you're going to do something, do it no matter how many people are waving their fists at you. That's why I like the guys that are here (Neo, IU, Rock, even 5star), all guys that have stuck with it no matter what.

Yeah JB i really didn't mean to come of as an ingrate. I do appreciate the effort people put forth on behalf of making our league forums more fun/informative. Keep it up!

S11 is going to be a good one in Zeta I think. A good group of returning teams on a mission, an interesting group coming up that wants to impress, and a science experiment.

Should be fun.

My prediction for the 'Birds: With the chemistry hit,we go 11-5 with a 6 gmae win streak into the playoffs and really show you guys what we're all about. If we don't have chemistry issues 15-1 league champs.

Most likely the only think that can stop us is Mike Ock.

I'm really glad the Gangsters are still here... I'm incredibly attached to Mike Ock.

The only problem is that we have to beat Mike Ock in the locker room before every game so that he can explode right when the game starts.
