Vanuatu and Winona were having similar seasons before the chem hit and more importantly the"give up " I've been there, season 8 I finally gave in ,took several players to another team had Mekong on basic and ran with the other team making them 13-3. Mekong ended up 6-10. including a 13 point loss to Batambang . I know for a fact I could of made the playoffs as a number 8 seed but what's the point I knew I didn't have the run game to win it all. I really wished that these teams stuck it out. Because then if we win 11 games and then get blown out in the first round it will have a big asterick on it.
Whats your point here? No shit Pro is different than AAA but obviously you didnt see what some teams in Pro use for an offense. Go look at USAPL, tell me there werent teams only using the plays you just said. Its not a AAA thing.
So your giving Vanuatu the excuse that it was too hard for them to cope? Seems feasible.
As for gutted teams, we had 1. Winona and Vanuatu would have had the same record in Garuda as they did in Naga, some teams dont get to hide behind that excuse. As for your excuse why Mekong lost, you basically did what Vanuatu did, you quit.
