I hate it when I get swept. I say to myself for crying out loud I can't even beat the worst team in the league and then I realize that I am the worst team in the league. Time for a beer.

First schwarze of the tourney against no mauchs. Sadly all these teams seem to be trending in the wrong direction otherwise.

With 120 teams entered, should 30 teams make the second round if 24 made it when there were 96 teams entered?

My answer will depend on whether or not PennQuaker is between #25-#30 at the end of the round. Remind me then.

I tried for even 30 last year..the goal is to determine the best right?

Studs thru the top 48. Lots of big timers will be missing from the cage. Right now my only team leading the division has mensu on my arse...no bueno

The only way to add more is to add in groups of 24. So, the next usable number would be 48. I think 48 would be a few too many.

I have no idea where I am in the standings as I only check every 27 games.

Why does the number of teams in the final round have to be a multiple of 24? It's just as easy to set up a 30-team league as it is a 24-team league.

If we added extra Round 2 spots bc of the extra entrants, the next number would be 28, if we wanted the same percentage of spots. Is there a 28 team league option?

These are the 28- and 30-team options. You can't get balanced divisions with 30 teams for some reason.
