Reverse sweeps..

The amount of reverse sweeps in tournaments this cycle is insane and defies statistics......just saying..

Yep. The 'Miracle River Card' from Full Tilt Poker found a new home, it seems.

The sure kiss of death is checking in on a tournament to find out you're up 3-0. Set a timer to come back in 40 minutes and enter a new game.

Been there, done that. Lots of 2004 ALCS action in this year's tourneys.

Possibly related to fatigue/team depth?

The tournaments are designed to use your entire roster, so I imagine those teams that have better benches/bullpen depth do better as a series goes deeper.

I thought that too. But nah....I have gone into so many series sweeping the previous one, and my players are well rested, and they have gone to game 5 or 7, and all their players and pitchers are exhausted , been up 2-0 and got reverse swept. absolutley no rhyme or reason. I know the RNG gods cant always love me, but still...

I am happy to volunteer to be the beneficiary of these 2-0 or 3-0 series leads if others don't want them.
