Warrior General Games

lost,

Sure they do. Just pick them, and you're right.... and wrong.

Hope I cleared that up for you.

lostinkorea, you have done one hell of a job with this thing so far. Don't beat yourself up over this thing. You're never going to make everybody happy. I say you put the Scarlet Knights in the Natural's Slot and you have the Turtles and Naturals play it out to see who gets in. If the Turtles wanna be douche bags and take their ball and go home then I'm sorry I ever posted support for them. I say they play it out and I can't wait to watch.


seriously, I have challenged them, chop loster(our team trainer) has challenged them recently, our owner has challenged them, we are ready to play. Thing is we pmed support and Friendlies arent in the game yet....

Look it's not a popularity contest. I have no idea what goes on in BBB#8. I picked who I thouht looked better when I looked at the teams. There has been some controversy over who I picked. If you guys can't come to a clear consensus about who deserves the better seed going into this tournament with your inside knowledge of the teams involved, what chance do I have? Do you guys have a better idea on how to pick?

Thanks for doing this Lost. Its a thankless job. As a GM for the Turtles (BBB#8) we'll accept whatever fate is given to us but I'd suggest you base this on historical performances. Its the only known fact. Both Huntsville and Naturals have many boosted players currently. We have 1 sole booster. And even if other teams have a higher average level, that is not a solid indicator of how good the team is. Argueably Naturals have had the 'best team on paper' the last two years but they ended up 7th last year with a first round exit from the playoffs after 16 weeks of how they were going to roll over the league. Talk means nothing. Level means nothing. Historical performance is proof.

Just my 2 cents

As a GM for the Nats I respect your opinion, I'm honestly tired of dealing with this, and I think we can agree to disagree. I hope one day in the near future we can settle this on the field. Good luck to you this year, hopefully we meet in the title game, which I'd like to think we are destined to.

Great job setting this up sorry if this quarrel has caused any sort of burden to you. Sorry on behalf of the Nats

1. They're mascot is a Turtle
2. Krunchy's nickname in BBB 8 is "cock breath"
3. A guy with the word "Moo" in his name is his mini me
4. They act like "landing strips" if they don't get their way.

Enough said. Let's get the tournament going. Who cares if they don't want to play in it. I'm sure their players love that attitude of "I'll take my ball and go home". If this was a tournament of who was better last season you should very well move them up. But like I said, this isn't a tournament of who was better last season. If they're so freaking good then the play in game should be a nice breeze. Champions love competition. Guys that explains it.

I think the Turtles are just a bit afraid to play us and want to find a way out...

nah, he just feels slighted seeing 4+ loss teams getin the bracket and undefeated teams have to play their way in.

He didn't say he was going to take his ball and go home. He just sent me an email saying he felt slighted that the Naturals got the auto in and his team didn't. And that if he didn't get the naturals spot he wasn't interested in being in the tournament. Now I have another team that has told me the same thing. It has become a bit of a head ache.

Here is what we will do. I will re look the teams with more than 2 teams in the tournament. If there is a power ranking for that league we will use that to determine the seed. If there is more than one power ranking we will average it out. If the power rankings are done by conference then I will give one auto in to each conference leader determined by the power rankings.

Also so people aren't clear on what the friendlies are going to cost. Every team is going to be give one or two free friendlies. After they have used their free friendlies each team in the game must pay 25 fp(I assume by the owners) for a total of 50. So it doesn't matter what you are seeded. After the free friendlies it will cost 25fp a game.

Ok BBB#3 has three teams but no power rankings. So far there has been no complaint about my seedings so I am just going to drive on with them the way they are.

BBB#6 has three teams but that is my league and I gave the other two teams the autoin and am playing in the playoff. So no problem there.

BBB#5 has three teams and the offical power rankings for that league agree with the rankings I gave the three teams. Driving on.

Crap, and wouldn't you know it that BBB#8 one of the leagues that is in contention has no power rankings. You guys like making my life hell. I will try to start a thread asking the owners of that league to rank the teams.

And BBB#11, another league with some controversy has no power rankings. I will also start another thread in that league to rank the teams.

Ditto for BBB#15.

There are three teams in BBB#16 but the team who is in the playoff has already said they have no problem with it. Moving on.

Ok going to let the threads run awhile to see what the consensus is. We are waiting for bort to initiate the friendlies anyway.

Also, once we get the seedings figured out, I will do my best to make sure that teams don't play each other from the same league until at least the round of 16.

Hopefully these teams that are upset about the rankings will accept the opinion of their peers.

hey lostinkorea,
if you want to give one of the whiners my team's slot to shut their bitchmouth's up, then please do. i think you did a great job, but if it
s easier for you to put the honolulu bulls into a play in game, then by all means, do it. i just wanna play some tight competition and dont care what seed my team is.

win.

Toronto should get the auto bid, NAN has ALWAYS outleveled the rest of the league and hasn't done anything with it.

None of us have, or we wouldn't still be in BBB Pisses me off to no end. This is our year (that is what I told the team the last two seasons but I realy mean it this time)
