Hopefully no repeat of last week since St-George and I have our match planned for midnight Arizona time.

Checked irc to see if you were in there, but not seeing you. I'm gonna go play poker tonight, so let me know what time you're available tomorrow. I don't have anything planned Sunday, so whenever should be fine.

St. George is a great guy. For being so far outta the US time zones, he's as solid as you can ask for.

Central. I'll try to leave Steam running so I'll hear you if you ping me, hopefully.

Man, that's just unreal that you've gone 4 games without as much as a single levelup on anyone that does any fucking hitting on that team. That's rough as shit bro, I'm sorry for nudging you in that direction. Your lizards were honestly the first match that made me sit up and go "okay, I gotta pay attention here or I'm gonna get fucked" in the open league.
If it's any consolation, there will definitely be a season 2 if you're not burned out on the whole idea by then.

D4, play your games. Week resets in about 20 hours from the timestamp on this post, give or take.
Tiebreakers!
I was looking over the divisions, and this may in fact come up. I was challenged on my stance on tiebreakers in IRC, and I figured I better bring it here for discussion.
The way it's setup in the original post is that ties will be broken via TD's scored, then TD difference. This was argued that it's not fair, because not all teams have the same capacity for scoring. Likewise, if we went to a casualty based system for breaking ties, not all teams have the same capacity for that either.
I've actually come around to that point of reasoning, and here's where we stand right now...if we need to break a tie because the records of 2 teams are the same, then we'll use their match game to break the tie (IE: Player A won when he played Player B, therefore he is considered the winner), and if the game was a draw, then I just flip a coin. It seems like any of the other metrics used to break ties would favor bash over ball handling, or ball handling over bash, and no one needs to be punished or rewarded based upon what team they picked at the start of the league.
What do you guys think? I think that a valid argument was made, that an Elf team could lose a lot of games, but end up with a ridiculous TD difference due to their 4-0 wins, such that it balances out their 2-1 losses. Likewise, a Khemri team shouldn't be punished because they can't move the ball upfield very fast, and are basically never going to win better than 2-0 or 2-1, simply because they're incapable of it under normal circumstances.

Well, so far as speaking about playing 4 matches without any level up, here is what happened to me:
Got very nice SPP grinding during the first 3 matches, having 5-6 player on the 4-5 SPP mark, but none with a level-up but only one, the first, a blitzer. Got a stat increase, took movement.
Started my 4th match having the perspective that finally would get some level-up, playing VS Chaos (minotaur, one warrior and a bunch horned beasts). Results:
My level 2 7 mov blitzer got killed on a block by a beast, i.e. death > apo > death.
A second blitzer got also killed on a missed GFI roll.
The only advantage is that my team is worth a lot less now...
And oh, no other level up.
