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

[Magus978]

Opting in to OL to replace the Boppers are the Raleigh Rage, who will be rebranded as the Nico-Nico Kneecappers. They will be playing in gold tomorrow after winning their silver divisional round.

They are already OL-compliant, so there will be no need to change the roster over.

Perfect league playoffs:

three OL teams remain in the final four

California vs Southern for the AC; Bold Strategy vs Weston Pointe for the NC

[Magus978]

New York Patriots are promoted to diamond after a game 5 win in their divisional round. Freddie Lindstrom with 5 RBI to seal the deal, bailing out an ineffective Fred Newman.

This is kind of an interesting final four. Me vs. allenciox, with each of our lefty teams on one side and our power-heavy teams on the other. Good luck!

Kansas Rangers win game 5 of the Division series so they're headed to bronze next week. I've started to add all Bronze OL people off the list.

Missouri Legends win game 5 of the Division series so they're headed to Gold next week. I've started to add all Gold OL people off the list then. It'll be tough for them in Gold.

Topeka Defenders lose game 4 of the Division Series so they'll be staying in Diamond.

Bronze league playoffs:


Salem and Bluffton advance to the NLCS (and will move on to Silver). Stephensville falls short and will spend another year in Bronze.

Yeah, the Cottons are an unusual type team to match up against. Because of your ballpark favoring righty ba, the Caspers are trying to use all righty starters when we are in your park. Maddux gets promoted from my fifth starter normally to my second starter in the series (I figure groundball pitchers should be favored in power parks).

The Cottons going 5 games in the NLDS is a big deal here, because now in order to get the pitching matchups I want, I need to roll 3 tired starters. We'll see how it goes, but I suspect that game 1 victory by the Caspers is the edge they needed to pull the upset.

Stream of consciousness:
EDIT: Enormous game 2 victory for the cottons, but not out of the woods yet since the Caspers have home field advantage for 3/5 of the remaining games.

EDIT2: The Quantum Condors let up the tying run (eventually losing in extras) in the top of the 9th, with 2 outs... on a Pesky error at SS. Then game 3 goes down after Steve Howe, who let up a single HR all season, in a park suppressing righty power, lets up a 3 run HR to blow the 2-0 lead with 2 outs in the 8th. It's funny how sometimes your greatest strength can become a weakness in the playoffs, or vice versa.

Four teams moving on up

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

I've attached the playoff tree. As soon as I post, I'll update the Friends List.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Someone already did diamond. Here's silver.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Here's gold. I've updated the Friends list with the promotions to gold and diamond.

[Charlatan]

Thanks for updating Diamond, guys. I am at the beach for a short vacation (through Wednesday) so we were traveling until just now. I will try to update the friends list if it still needs it.

Also, did any of the miscellaneous teams in Iron get promoted? People in Bronze should just add them so when they do get promoted they will get placed in an OL league.

[Magus978]

On the friends list, it shows Steelport going down to bronze. They finished out of the bottom two in the league, they will not be relegated. They are staying in silver.

Perfect relegates 4 teams. The rest only two.
