i just bought a player from the US and my merchandise went up 20%.

or maybe the observation should be:

i just bought a player whose salary is over $200,000 a week and my merchandise went up 20%.

i'll never figure this game out.

I had a 35k/week World renowned PR guy at one point. I felt like he was neither bringing in more money than he cost, nor costing more more than he brought in, as compared to other PR guys. If I recall correctly, however, I was doing well in those seasons.

What level of doctors do people typically run with up here. I fear mine is way to low, but it seems like a player always gets injured right after you change doctors, so I am afraid to do so.

I believe the observation should be those combined. A USA player costing $200,000 a week. Though I'm not sure how much a 20% increase for you I'm going to guess $12k-14k a week? USA players have quite a nice boost to them, once they are all added up. Thanks to my Americans, I have consistently had double the amount of the average league merchandise

Well, I think the two NT players account for almost all of your merch boost. I'm also at around double the league average merch with my three NT guys. I've had teams that were all American players before and I never had much more than the league average merch, so I'm not convinced just having American guys is enough.

Anyway, Hassan's merch boost from buying Purdy is interesting. I've put Purdy on the NT roster in scrimmages, so maybe he gets a 1 week boost for buying a NT guy.

Yes, 2 NT guys do play a part in the huge merchandise, but I have been all American since D.III and always been over the league average for merch.

So it is down to 4 in the cup and all teams still alive are ranked 6 or higher. That is about as much of a loaded final bracket as you get. No non-NBBA teams for us to feed on any more. Also, I think all teams have a punchers chance since Bullish is not still alive.
What odds do you give the teams?

I have it as:
Tucumcari Whalers 2 to 1 (the favorites)
Eugene Register Guard 5 to 2
Beware of Dogs 3 to 1
Kurgans 3 to 1

Since everyone (I assume this is true) expects Bullish to run away with the league title this is the trophy that is still in significant doubt.

Tucumcari looks awesome -- as in awe-inspiring. if there aren't some holes somewhere on that squad, i think BM is going to have a tough go getting to the finals. (right now, i'd call it even or tilt to Tucumcari, if a game with BM were played on a neutral court. but at this level, HC trumps almost everything else.)

Tell that to my season 26 squad who was already telling the Trophy engravers how to spell their names!

Those odds are about how I see it too. My team might be a slight favorite like you say, but every one of the teams remaining has a very realistic chance of pulling it off. I've pretty much resigned myself to Bullish taking the league title. I'm still sort of half hoping that I can get lucky and pull off an upset in the playoffs, but Bullish will be at a major advantage with HC. I'll be lucky just to make the playoffs in this conference.

Agree 100% with BM's assessment. Ironically, I was thinking that we all have a punter chance had BM stayed in the cup. (with him focusing on both CUP and league and all). But now that he focuses solely on league, yeah, we're all playing for the silver trophy.

Also, you're being too modest on your own team. You're more at Tucumcari Whalers & Eugene Register Guard's level than you're at mine. You already defeated me once at my home court with equal enthu so that clearly put me in as an underdog the rest of the way.
