What does your 2051 Cup group look like?

Group 37 Group of Death?

3 ex-Legends teams
2 Lumberjacks=hitting power?
4 Legends championship trophy engravings, mostly Haselrig's hardware!

Would be a great escape if Denvy survive the round robin.

2050 Cup winners Burbank Entertainers draw 2012 Legends champs and 2013 cup winner, Bay City Lions.

How about your match-ups? What are your team's chances?

#95 is looking pretty tough. Two LL-2 teams, one LL-3 (which was LL-2 last season), and three LL-V teams.

Our group is a little sad, as it doesn't seem quite right facing Moore without Coolhand.

For Waterloo the question is never "could we finish 1st?", but rather "could we finish 6th?". And the answer this year is yes, yes we could.

I'm in #102 for the second year in a row. Qualified last season so some might see it as a good omen.

We have a Legends team but I'd like to think we can qualify out of the group stage again.

Well, of course I'm not expecting our team to be in the Top 16 again this year, but my group is manageable, I think. 1 LL-IV, 2 LL-V and 2 LL-VI. Two are ranked higher than I am, three lower. So who knows!

Two veteran owners, two bots, and a one-and-done.

Using AP's metrics, our group is easier this season. Hopefully that means I can get some younger guys a couple more series' worth of exp training.

AP's 2050 thread

2050
OGAR: 101.30 (Group avg strength)
OTAR: 131.73 (Thunder rating gap vs rest of group)
GORP: 34.73% (% of own team rating of total strength)

2051
OGAR: 92.22 (weaker)
OTAR: 155.41 (wider)
GORP: 40% (more)

12 wins and a decent RD is the goal no matter what group we're in.

Always nice to end the thrashing we take in spring, and begin the thrashing we take in the cup.

Dinos 4 SP for tonight's series have 112 official IP between them.

Going to be awesome!

Looks like we are exiting. Much parity in Group 37. Not happy about this.

Boulder through to round two. Have myself a heck of a fright looking at the next opposition, Weymouth Town don't have a single hitter under 115SI!

Looking closer though, one of the things I love about the cup is playing different teams and setting the variety of methods of attacking BB. Excellent defensive club, big red flag is not a single genuine minor league player, but of course that's what I mean about variety - it's my top focus, and not the case for Weymouth Town. Neither wrong, just different methods!
