7 Teams voted this week. Shows me what begging for votes does for you haha. Just like PBS when they have a telethon, people turn the channel. Maybe we'll go back to 1 report every other game if people are getting burnt out.

We had a couple of interesting things happen with the poll this week. The Rhinos are still in 1st place but they are no longer unanimous, losing 1 pick to DD. Life at the top is rough

We had 4 teams all gaining or losing 1 position, nothing big and probably due to the low voter turnout.

We had our first tie of the year, and because it's for 10th place we ended up with 11 teams in the Top 10.

The biggest news of the week is the return of ABD to the Poll. They started the year in 10th and quickly fell off due to two quick losses to DD and SW. But just like Shevegas' whole career in APL, the team just never gives up. The Blood Diamonds have been in APL since the start, and to say that their stay here has been tumultuous is a gross understatement. After making the playoffs their inaugural season, they fell on some hard times and even flirted with demotion a couple of seasons. Add to that some famous heated public battles on the boards with other Owners and GMs and you have to ask... who among you would just say fuck it and start over somewhere else again? I mean how many playoff teams have we seen come and go in 7 seasons just because they couldn't win the title? This team and this owner didn't gut the team, but instead gutted it out year after year and fought their way back to the top. Love him or hate him, you have to admire Shevegas' pure tenacity. I had to take a timeout to applaud the effort. Well done bro!!

That's all I have for you guys today. I'm not sure if we'll do a poll for the next week of games, we'll see how many polls we'll get. Maybe we'll take a few games off to get interest back up again.

Congrats to everyone who made the list!!

Toad Out.

1) Rhinos too low imo.

2) Are the Rhinos voting Toad? If not, I'll send in a ballot, GET VOTING PEOPLE!

3) Good work Vegas! I'm glad you didn't quit either, you've made APL Forums fun, and now you are making a few Elephant teams sweat! Keep on keeping on!

Seychelles too high

Good job Vegas in clawing your way back into the Top 25.

Thanks for these KT.

Thanks guys, and thank you so much KT for the write-up.......The APL, is much better off without the bickering among the owners, and love me or hate me, the ABD will be here for the long term.
I would like to give a really big THANK YOU, to all the ABD members who have stayed by my side through think and thin....Now time to win our first playoff game

The new GLB rankings are out and DD is #5 over all in the entire GLB (7 spots ahead of the Rhinos)... and they are coming up 3rd in APL voting??? Maybe some in the APL are under rating DD?


randey - Billy White does the voting for the Rhinos. If at some point he wants to give it up or not have time its all your bro!

I'll start putting in votes since Doc_Nilla is clearly off partying and chasing women instead of doing important stuff.

Be sure and take Doc's over mine if we submit two. I just dartboard my picks.

Falling asleep in front of the computer is important too. Yeah, I got last week but didn't have time for this one.

What in the APL can be more important than partying and chasing women???

Great job as always Toad. Have yet to disagree with the props you throw out. Money.

DD are underrated in the APL. So far this season they does look like the strongest team, and should be at the top of the rankings, so WWR once again can be the underdogs

Yeah bro the Rhinos vote every week.

Okay cool, didn't know if our team was repping the polls... That's fine, I don't want to take it away from billy. Any other teams want me to vote by proxy for them?

lol

these votes are only based on what is done in the APL - I think DD was higher because of their tourney play outside of the APL - maybe if the Rhino's do well they will be noticed more outside of here ? ?

In the words of Ric Flair " To be the best you have to beat the best " WHooooooooooooo
until DD wins an APL title or atleast make it to that final game they are the #rd best team here i guess....things might change this season though ?

struggling a bit with the quote feature I see
