kinda.

I'm also using the "don't agree with this function so I might 'accidentally' put together a nightmare division on purpose" strategy.  With the two mixed, I figure I might get a relatively strong division similar to what one might expect with random alignment.

We'll see how it turns out!

I did my ratings in about 3 mins, so no hard feelings.

My rankings list has submitted. Nate I rated your squad 3rd worst ahead of maglor1 and pennsylvania. I don't think that your squad will make enough FTs on the road to win many of those games even though they don't foul that much. The hope was that the other guys had your team rated better so that I could grab your team and maglor1's or penn's teams in my division LOL!

Also no hard feelings guys. I had basically 4 great teams and 3 or 4 bad ones. Then after that it was almost impossible for me to rate them in any type of order. It's going to be a really competitive season.

Hope it works out that way, I've enjoyed our matchups and would love 8 shots at talking some good banter when we meet.

Although I really believe that my team is better than yours nate I am concerned with Ewing fouling out against Wilt and with his 36% usage.

well...you got your super division ash....curious to know the reasoning behind it and why you ordered the names like you did....i mean, what did poor thomcat do to you? haha...and i get why youre making me suffer but why sly and felonius ? and why did tarheel get a pass?

Well I guess that I had better win my own division since all 5 of the teams in it were in my top 13 LOL. 

Facking fack.

hmm 10,12,20 and 19 all though not sure what ashes means weather he just wanted super division or best matchup. 

why the face?

welp, as competitive as these leagues have gotten not sure there can be a truly "easy" division, but ours seems to be about the best you could ask for

I'm logging a formal complaint -- it appears everyone has saw fit to select my team first - insinuating that i'm the weakest team

Been there, pennsylvania.  Use it as motivation.  You'll win some games, and can study the rosters of teams that win more.  Part of winning at this game is really understanding how the simulation engine works, and some of it is strategy.
