MARCPELLETIER TKO Semis???

PostSat Oct 29, 2016 12:27 pm

Really tough decision here. I am currently seeded 7th. If I stay at seed 6 or 7 I get Luckyman's league in the semis and a chance to KO him in the semis. Especially if I get a lucky semis draw and land in his division.

I am currently in the finals and (I think) I own the tiebreak vs. bbfan who is seeded 5th and only 2 points/wins ahead of me. What do I do? Do I make sure I only win 1 game in my Event 5 world series and draw Luckyman's league??? Or try to win the WS and secure a higher ranking at the cost of not drawing Luckyman's league?

Problem is, my event 5 team is too good not to win 2 games in this WS.

One other problem. Maybe 5 years ago I was the best player on the tour. But I have been out of pocket for a few years and only playing ATG so I am still very rusty.

From what I can tell keyzick is the commissioner? Please let me know by tonight (the Event 5 world series starts tonight) if tanking on purpose is legal or illegal to allow me to pick my semis league...

While not specifically in the rules, I'd liken tanking to salary-dumping, and will not be allowed. Thank you for asking ahead of time though, to avoid any debacle.

I'm hoping this is tongue in cheek because the top 36 and some who just missed are all great managers

Fun trash talk, but the semis are assigned positions, not randomized. Cristano will not be in Marc's division no matter how you slice it.

No disrespect to Hillary cristano, but I'll tell you: the one coach that scares me most is the 36th one on the list: edgecitytx, and I understand that we will be in the same league.

Has always been a winner in hitters stadium, but it seems that he's finding a winning way in pitchers stadium too:

And edgecitytx is not only a pretender, he is a proven past champion.

I also won 66 games in round 4 of the Tour and had to win eight straight at the end of Round 5 just to make number 36. So thanks for the kind words, Marc, but I know you are only trying to jinx me. This has actually been my worst season in a decade until recently when, as you showed, some things have come together. I will agree I'm an unusually dangerous 36th seed :)

We'll be in the same division and as always, I look forward to playing the best.

I think the thing that would scare me the most (even more then edge city) is if I was seeded number 1 overall for the semis and then choked and didn't even make the finals.

Oops that was so rude of me. Isn't that what happened to Marcus Wilby last year? Sorry again for being so insensitive.
