Triplets! I love triplets!
GC's lovely 1-2-quad based tier system. It's clearly the best!

Gah! Oh my god, I'm useless! :(
Sorry, Screwie, I've been having internet difficulties this week. Bollocks.
Edit: actually, I'll probably have to take a sabbatical season after this season ends. For the next 4-6 I'm not going to be reliable enough, so it's better than risking a catastrophic failure like this week

Any admin assigned win automatically ends up counting as a 2-0 win - it is hardcoded into the game, there is nothing we can do about it. Furthermore the winner gets *ALL* the SPPs - 2x3 for TDs and 2x5 for MVPs...
If at all possible we prefer to get games played to minimise this, but we'll look into it as soon as we can.

I'm going to have to miss my last match of this season, sorry to whoever I was supposed to play. An Admin win for the opposition is fine. Job interview and girlfriend calls. See you all next season with my undead team!

Beaten 1-0 by Grin, a deserved result after a blizzard of terrible rolls for both of us, for me in the first half and then even worse ones for him in the second.
I screwed up my drive, got into trouble, double skulled a reroll when I tried to get out of it. Grinn ended up scoring.
Second half, Grinn skulled out on his first turn and I managed to get the ball. Played for the draw in the corner and nearly made it (due to terrible rolls for Grinn) but didn't see that the orc near the side of my maginot line was AG5. The "impossible" dodges he needed turned out to just be a 3+ and 2+, and after those he just needed a push or better to shunt my guy off the pitch. For the remaining 2 and a half turns neither of us could pick up the ball, so it ended 1-0.
I didn't bring my 'A' game to this one; I didn't really get into the game until about turn 4 by which point the game had tilted Grinn's way. Grinn deserves the promotion this season, and I deserve to spend yet another season in division 2.
Finally got my game against Kajo played.
Final score Rakish Rodents (INinja132) 1 - 2 Kajers (Kajo)
Close match, lots of KOs on both teams, and a final last ditch effort by Kajo's team to secure a 16th turn touchdown pass to win the game.
Good game.
No worries, it happens to us all sometime.
Nooooooo!
I was hoping your match would be a draw or you winning, since that would mean I could get away with a draw in my final match and still come out on top.
Now, I have to win my match in order to win the season. If I draw or lose, I believe that means AgP takes the division.
That's a lot of SPPs. Isn't it possible to set these matches as draws in the game but note them as wins on the sheet? The game and sheet would be out of sync but this is a massive advantage for the "winning" team without any risks involved.
Think of it as an incentive to make an effort to get your game played. If neither player bothers their arse, it's a draw. If both players make a reasonable effort, it's a draw. If only one player tries to get their game in, they get lots of SPPs for making the effort.
Oh wait, I thought the little dice icon next to the result in admin mode allowed you to set the scores however you liked?
I should probably have a better handle on these things, running a league of my own...
You can set the scores however you like, but the game then automatically assigns a 16SPP to 0SPP "win". Can't remember who told me that now, but it sucks, doesn't it? Cyanide.

Well it does prevent easy farming by setting stupidly high scores so Cyanide did display sound logic in this case. However as the sad gits instead just abandon hundreds of games against their alt accounts it serves no purpose bar limited league admins.
I believe I can take greater umbrage from this unfortunate piece of news. I now have no way of winning the division as I required a win and for Agp to drop points. Oh well - i'll just have to settle for finishing second by beating you :D
Division F could get interesting. If i beat 2lab then 3 of the teams have all won twice.
We tried to play our game, and I was one nil up and defending with a good chunk of time to go in the 2nd half before a disconnect happened on Skydancer's end. We arranged a replay, but our times only really allowed for Tuesday this week, which was only a half-possibility because Skydancer thought he might be busy, which it turned out he was. We thought that it was unlikely that we'd find another slot to play this week and holding up the group for much longer was not really an option in our view.
My original thinking was that if a replay was possible, great, but if not then a win for me, on the basis that I was leading and the disconnect was not at my end. However, I don't actually mind either way, so if it's too unfair (I don't want undeserved SPP), then I'm happy to let it be marked as a draw. I don't want to be any trouble!

You're not being any trouble. Sounds like you've both agreed a win for you would be fair, and while it being a 2-0 double-MVP victory might not be ideal, it's what we've got. We've been running with it for 18 seasons now, so clearly it's not causing us any major problems...
If i understand the promotions rules it then goes to TD and casualty difference between the three teams. Since I have done pretty well at both of these this season I fancy my chances... Go Gorm!
Isn't that in the official BB rules as the result for an abandoned match? Or maybe I'm misremembering...
Yeah, that is indeed.
