obviously the point has been made then that the bars dont mean anything in terms of who will win the game

I thought everyone knew this

Excellent point made - league wide known info, I'm sure. You shouldn't go around stating the obvious, it's just not....good, for your own social benefit. We are here for a sub-in opportunity and all you want to argue about is how bars don't mean a thing? m-kay, you couldn't be more right.

Didn't Trout beat the Hobos in the final regular season game?

That means by SIs logic, Trout are in fact > Hobos.

LASTLY, PLAYOFF PERFORMANCE IS EVERYTHING. EVERY TEAM YOU BEAT IN THE PLAYOFFS WILL BE RANKED BELOW YOU.... the general reasoning is that regular season doesn't mean anything so those games don't prove anything. Every is at 100% and boosted for the playoffs. If you beat a team in the playoffs, they will be behind you in these rankings. Period.

If any teams are still interested in joining, I've decided that teams have to have their games at least on the schedule by tomorrow or they will be replaced. I need to know that an owner is ready to go though. Here is a list of teams that previously weren't interested or I never got a response from. There might still be time to join. I don't want teams to have a free pass into round 2 if at all possible:

Ah but you see Trout don't actually HAVE a playoff performance to go off. I'm pretty sure that the last regular season game is a better marker than your 'well they looked even to me' declaration.

We are talking about how Trout was supposedly the clearly the favorites (in their mind at least) to win CPL last year when they didn't have a playoff or boosted win to stand on.

I could have sworn that Dong was the odds on favorite to win it all. I think CCC or Dryden were 2nd and 3rd favorites. An untested Trout team was probably 4th.

I'm just not sure how Trout could be so confident in their team that hadn't even played a single game boosted......

It is one thing to say they were 25% favorites to win the league (1 of the 4 teams I mentioned) if you discount the West and give them 0% chance as we did all year is one thing. But to say that Trout was 55% favorites to win CPL AFTER the fact is asinine.

We'll never know.

No one else in interested in re-hashing CPL shit though. Let's stick to the topic of this tournament. A few more games going on tonight.


Tim Harper's Chicago Mustangs finally got their game scheduled. I'm not sure who was holding that one up though. But it is scheduled now. Only 3 teams holding up the works
