BuzzerBeater Forums

Well...as you all know my cup run is over...Didn't have a chance to change my line up or change to a CT..(I should have done it lastnight). I knew my wedding this weekend was going to derail something and it looks like my cup was that something.between trying on Tuxes and buying futons for the 6 people staying at my house this weekend..not to mention I will be picking up my brother in 1 hour...But I half to give a heads u to baikiman..you got me..nice renters and I hope this is a CT...Good game and I will see you in the JBBL next season....Good luck to all who are still in it..peace

well, it looks my goose egg vs. 1 million plus rosters is intact.

what can i say? the polish grizzbie strikes again.

back to training japanese players i go. It was a decent cup run. I would have much rathered have the game at my home.

but this is basically what buzzerbeater is so im not mad at it.

congrats on your win wolph.

Thanks for the pleasantries, but the game was over when you purchased the grizzly.

Yup YC, have a good one mate!

Isehara to face the Baikin buzzsaw next... my money would be on the div II guy for this one! Wolph lucked into the bye round.

Well done on the wedding I hope it was all great and perfect.

Fire Country Trail Blazers gets the bye in the QF of the cup? Wow that makes up for getting Swoosh in the last round. It is really bad news for Kawaguti Werewolf and Kitakyushu because next week he is payiong his $1.1 million in salaries purely to beat them.

While Wolph gets a free pass the other three matches look good.

Small Town Operators v Stunners is the game of the round.

Baikinman can ignore his league and do whatever it takes to beat Isehara Pistons who don't have the same luxury.

Kyoto Shogun v Yokozuna. I wish this was at my arena. I wish Okayama Chon hadn't just spent $2,000,000 on players. I wish Small Town Operators weren't playing aisteru.4ever this week. I wish I was playing Elandstraat 263 this week. I wish I hadn't played 3 good teams in the cup in a row while others get a free pass. Wish, wish, wish.

Yup. Because at the end of the day, whatever happens with our match-up, he's still winning the B8.

Well it is a David v Goliath game buy you all know how that ended up.

Yokozuna. has a $300k C, $250k SG, $200k and a lot more $50-$100k players heading for a million dollar roster.

I have no-one over $100k and will be starting at least one guy with a salary $30k or less. Huge mismatch. If the schedulers wanted the best spectacle they would hold it at my arena.

What I do have is all key players in proficient game shape to his strong, maximum possible enthusiasm and nothing to lose.

I guess I also have some spare millions if I make a last minute change to my no rentals policy.

So it kinda backfires for Baikinman, and he loses both the games that matter this week (vs me, Cup).

What my question is: how can he afford this team?
He has an absolutely enormous salary for Div II - $ 615 455 per week. His arena is 15,715... and I estimate he earnt a bit over $320k last game.
Now, I'd imagine his merch is around 80k max. TV is 94k. Even if he has low-end staff salaries, and no scouting - I still figure there's a significant short-fall each week.
I'd imagine at least 150k.

He'd have to have a sizable amount saved to be able to continue to do this...
