Looking For "Friends" to join "Our League".

[dishnet34]

I should probably give you guys the logo for my Gamblers team coming in next season. Here it is. Let me know if y'all need anything else.

Thanks. If you want to use it, just copy the attached to your desktop and then use the customize team option, click on advanced in the bottom right, then click select on the logo menu, then OK to set it in place. After you do that, you should go to profile and click on troubleshooting in the upper right, then upload team graphics. I didn't know that until someone pointed it out on this thread. If you don't do that, you have to re-load every new season. I've attached the original, sans crown, and a more logo-y version.

Hi everyone,
This looks like a fun group to join. I currently have a F2P team that fits the league rules and I’d like to join. I’m currently in the iron league, my team is the Pablo Pandas, my user name is acl916.

Thanks

If you want to join, please make sure you add -OL to your team name and a "+" symbol to your short team abbreviation. Then please add all the Iron/Bronze teams to your friends list and change it to "use friends list" instead of "random".

The -OL will help everyone else find you as they query the PT universe and update the friends list.

The + will help the moderators calculate your win/loss records.

There was an image with all the Our league guidelines a few pages up.

The Texas Strangers(116-46) and Harbour Town Falcons(119-43) will both be promoted to Bronze. Both lead their respective Conference Finals 2-0 so maybe we can represent OL in the other two leagues WS this week. Their friend's choice for league placement is straight this week so we will see the OL Bronze bunch.

[joehart]

The Endless Summer vs Puppies competition stands at a 1-1.

The Puppies were able to steal a win away from the Endless Summer team while playing on the road.

In the AC, The Hatchets lost game 1.

Well done. I updated all my lists so existing bronze teams should ensure that we get pulled in.

My Sad Hill Hunters will join you in Bronze after going into the conference finals (2-1 but this could easily change quickly with the other team having a colorful gold team while we represent the bronze and silver spectrum of cards).

got the online list updated with the latest additions/promotions/relegations so far... also re-ordered the list so make it match how the manager list sorts in PT, so managers that start with a Capital letter come first, and managers that start with lower case letters are at the bottom...

as usual, feel free to make necessary edits if I've missed anything; and be sure to update your friend's lists to cover new teams moving in/out of your tiers

OK, I would like to lodge a formal complaint.

The Vikings invested big for a long playoff run this year, and rode a high-powered offense to the NLCS in easy fashion. We also have a badass new logo and uniforms that make the team look slick.

And then we were unceremoniously swept aside by a team called the Tacoma Aroma (not even from Hawaii!) who have a stink cloud as a logo. Boo-urns!

I would check the AH for a few days(say, until Wednesday) before I try something else. Patience is virtue.

Another reason why I don't think the 200 packs idea is good is that unless you ignore your Negro League theme, you are extremely unlikely to find anything useful inside them. Say, you get a great card, Diamond something or a Perfect, okay, what do you do now? Sell them to open more packs? Change theme? If it's change theme, I agree with 200 packs; otherwise, no, because the only things you want with your PP are Negro League cards in this case.

I was expecting a close and tough series for that matchup, was surprised that it's a sweep.

Edit: Unless I lost some memory after a sleep, I believe the stink cloud logo is also new. That probably neutralize your new logo bonus. Smart play by the Tacoma Aroma.

---------------------------------------------------

I have added all the Bronzes on my friend list. OL is getting so big that I need to re-adjust my friend list every week. The 30 friends limit is a curse at this point.

We are looking forward to it. Tell the boys that though our endeavor to join them may be difficult and fraught with danger at every turn we shall persevere.

Please post your badass new logo, as well as the Little Rock for my folder. And tell your friends at Tacoma to up load their stink cloud.

The Chi-Town Towers will be relegated due to being one of the two lowest Win% teams in B270.

IrL OLers please add Jatha0099 for next season.

Losing Live Snell and most of the bullpen really hurt us when making the team OL-compliant, but hopefully we will be amongst the right competition in 2031!

Edit: Wrong team name, hah.

[Charlatan]

Daytona Beach won their division series 3-1
Motown had previously swept theirs 3-0
Redmond lost their division series 1-3

Motown and Daytona Beach are currently playing in the sub-league series, with Motown having a 3-2 lead. The winner will play in the Bronze League Championship.

This means 2 teams are moving to Silver next year: the Motown Stars and the Daytona Beach Pickleballers!

They look forward to it.
I asked them which competition they prefer and they really want to see how they do in Perfect with their lower level teams.

One of them was lucky to get seeded into a weaker Perfect league so he made the wild card but lost.

The other kiddo made it to the Diamond finals so he will join his brother on Monday.
Feel free to add the ‘Renton Dragons‘ as another team on your Perfect list.
He will be outgunned with his mostly gold team but they have a long term goal not to get relegated so that is their main focus plus trying to keep up with some of the teams they know.

I guess sometimes we can learn a thing or two from kids and not get caught up in that need to always win.

Darn it, my road to double crown has ended. Gotham Knights made Batman and NerdySauceF2P proud as they torched Armada in a 4-1 series. Always sad to be promoted without a championship but eh, everything have to be aligned for me to get a double crown.

An OL champion is guaranteed in I243, Gotham Knights and Tacoma Aroma are both rocking in the playoff so far and I expect a good series.

[Charlatan]

Motown defeated Daytona Beach 4 games to 2 to win the sub-league series and advance to the Bronze Level Series. Congrats to Motown!

As mentioned above, Motown and Daytona Beach advance to Silver next year.

[Charlatan]

I have updated the friends list with the 4 iron teams moving to bronze. I also reordered those 4 teams. As far as I can tell, the friends list is up to date with respect to promotions and relegation.

I was really surprised to see the Armada lose. Tacoma has exceeded my expectations in their first season of existence. Thank you for the update as my girlfriend has told me to set limits on how much time I spend on PT.

[Goliathus]

From my memory, Gotham Knights were historically tough for the Armada. My team either breakeven or lost more than won in the past against them. The only reason I did not mention them as much is that Vikings usually whalloped me harder, like Vikings always go like 8-10 runs against me so it's easier to whine about that.

They also have the anti-Armada ballpark with 1.1 HR, below average AVG and below average double and triple. I adjusted my pitchers and lower the usage of the lower MOV guys but it's not enough to hoist their bats.
