Hello all, as no one has done this yet, I thought I'd create the forum for the National Tournament this year.

Heading into the Third Round, there has yet to be an EBBL vs EBBL match up however there have been a couple of shocks.

In Round 1, the major shocks involved two EBBL teams crashing out to division II opponents with Gwent Galacticos of II.4 beating Lithuania BC 86-76 and Kojot Team of II.1 prevailing against Galaxy Walkers 78-89.

Round 2 saw another high profile EBBL team lose. Last years EBBL runners up Club Deportivo San Andreas losing to Kapsukas of III.5 by the score of 80-109.

The third round sees seven division II match ups with most of the EBBL teams welcoming and travelling to lower league opposition or BOTs. The highlight match up is probably the Wrose Warriors taking on II.2 high flyers The Admirals.

The remaining teams in leagues are as follows:
EBBL (13/16)
II.1 (12/16)
II.2 (13/16)
II.3 (12/16)
II.4 (13/16)

Best of luck to all teams participating tomorrow.

Hooray for EBBL teams playing bots!

Cool thread! Was gonna wait till next round to start one on this topic.

We need to weed out the EBBL teams before ASG week!!!

The third round saw another division II team beat an EBBL team, congratulations to The Admirals on their 92-81 victory over the Wrose Warriors. Other matchups saw 11 division two teams exit the competition with at least half of the competition being BOTs or division III teams so congratulations on making the last 128.

The fourth round sees our first EBBL match up with the Los Mikitos hosting CWA Fury. Other big name match ups include the 7th seed of SuperHands welcoming 9th seed, Durham Wasps. There are six division two match ups.
It also seems the EBBL are being gifted with the fixtures this season, with the majority of them being paired against either a Division III or BOT team.

Remaining teams in the league are as follows:
EBBL (12/16)
II.1 (9/16)
II.2 (10/16)
II.3 (11/16)
II.4 (9/16)

Good luck to all teams next week.

Does that mean that I'm the underdog? I don't mind that role.

This will be our third game against each other, all in the cup. Once in my arena, once on a neutral court, and now once in his arena.

It will be interesting to see who's going to sacrifice a win that could be vital in the EBBL to extend his run in the cup. EBBL blue side has been made open thanks to Galaxy Walkers overcoming the previously undefeated conference leader Tide of Fire, now there are 3 teams tied at 5-1 and the fourth is following at 4-2. This season 1 victory might make a difference for HCA. At least we all hope they think this way, down here in D2 :).

At any rate, 2 bots will go through the next round, so even D3 could legitimately hope to go through another few rounds if they win next week.

Good luck next round Tatatallfella, you'll need it!

Seems my luck is not changing - at least I get HCA. Could have been worse.

Yes you have got a tough draw for next game. My luck is continuing, I haven't had a seeded team yet.

I'm not too sure mate, it will be a really good game.
