I have to say, if you remove that baseball from your eyesocket, and stop encouraging Leopard from running the scrum, your changes will rise about 3%.

Do you smell it? Napalm baby!

@ all players
Please don't come into a game :20 past start time when there are 6, 8, or 10 players. That means there is probably a game in session and you will probably disrupt it.

Yeah that was my bad You see I keep getting a bit confused of the start times for TBML and PSL... so I thought last night started at 10:30EST (TMBL starts at 9:30). I was going to double check the time but PTT2 was down. Sorry for the mix up

I can't believe y'all are already at mid-season. Looks like a crowd at the top of the charts fighting for the top seed. Of course, that didn't help the Bags much last season! I hate to be missing out on the fun this time around but the real world has been taking up too much of my time lately. Still manage to check PTT2 and read the league thread, just can't make the games right now.

Enjoy the rest of the season and good luck in the race to the playoffs!

Hey MJ! Good to hear from you!

Amazing we are already at mid-season. I looked at the statistics, and thought it would be interesting to look at how many of the total points did each team score during all their matches. So for example if you take the total points scored by Sparkle (78) and divide by the total number of points scored in their matches (78 + 94 = 172), you arrive at a number of 45%. That means of all the points scored in all of their matches thus far, they scored a little less than half of all the points. Interesting to see some spread that may not be evident in the accumulated point totals.

As you can see, Evil (1st place) and Alpha (3rd place) are separated by 4 points. And yet they have earned the same percentage of total points. Since they have similar "point earning power" you would expect them to have very close games when they play each other, and split. Well they did play each other just this week - and they had 2 semi-close games: 8-6, and 7-4; but Evil swept. I remember W00t commenting that these games didn't feel close at all though.

[get some]

the two stingiest defenses face off this week in the Wonder vs Alpha match up. should be an interesting game considering that defense usually wins championships.
