i dunno but super league is pretty fkn cool imo

[Shooty]

I like the idea of a Super League, but the goal is to draft the worst team.

Loser league! Records are reversed, team who wins the fewest games is champion!

This is fknphenomenal. Also the games would be much shorter.

[nomaaa]

perhaps the loser league is just the season and no playoffs, unless there is a tie for last?

[Darky]

Three games to actually score and there are technical issues I am working on with my BallStat program and recovering the videos of the last two games between Nacho's team and Ultimate's. This is giving me fits, but now I just realized I can score the games from YouTube.

A loser's league doesn't sound appealing to me, but if it excites everyone, then maybe I can run that. If that were to happen, it would be easier on me to run the draft, then run a double elimination tournament? How does a double elimination loser's tournament work? Loser moves on? Whoa!

[ultimate7]

I'm in for any future leagues

[Gantry]

I think I'd be in for a "shittiest team" league - sounds fun.

[nomaaa]

if theres only a tournament, you should be out once you win

[ultimate7]

Maybe try to win, but only players with 800 or less power allowed.  I'm not sure if there are enough players

[Gantry]

NO, try to lose

[Shooty]

NO, money down!

[ultimate7]

Try to lose is interesting.  Bottom 4 make the playoffs, series loser advances?

[Gantry]

I like all this. 

[Darky]

Keep the loser league discussion going, it actually sounds really fun!

Update on my situation with the Super League and technical shit going on. Long story, but here it is in a nutshell: I had to recover the BallStat statistics for the Divisional playoffs since I saved it to an external hard drive and then I found out it wasn't compatible with the BallScore application on my laptop's hard drive. So after excruciating nerdery, I finally got it fixed and I am still enraged because it was so time consuming.

Okay, enough of that BS. I'll do my best to get 1 of 3 boxscores done today, and then the last two will come tomorrow. If I am motivated enough, they'll come tonight. It's a full moon and fresh snow is covering the forest, so I am taking my tripod and camera to get some epic moonlit and snowlit pics.

Tentatively, Game 1 of the LCS/semi-finals will go down Saturday. After the boxscores are done, I'll layout a schedule for all the games that will happen live on Twitch. We may go consecutive days so the series is done before the Super Bowl. Then the WS will follow the SB.

Yes. Finally, Tempo will be rewarded for drafting Spike Owen!
