Match Comments

Apologies for making this not an all-Bucknall affair

John (Sheboygan) Nov 23 - 10:05 PM

That felt like a "sorry, not sorry" from my friend Mr. Holden...

Allan (Quincy) Nov 25 - 10:20 PM

for sure Sheboygan are surely not sorry!

Vick (San Jose) Nov 29 - 9:03 AM

We're thinking about what could have been had we not stupidly qualified for the Natty.

Jason (Spokane) Nov 30 - 12:51 AM

Anyway, good luck to both teams.

Jason (Spokane) Nov 30 - 12:51 AM

I don’t like Dallas, but they’re in the Big 8! So GO GO GO Dallas! We can lend an axe if needed ;-)

Antoine (Portland) Nov 30 - 6:50 AM

No offence John but rather obvious I'll be rooting for my old man. Surely Mr. Holden cannot beat both Bucknall's in back to back weeks?

James (Albuquerque) Nov 30 - 3:35 PM

Can Bucknall Snr break his curse?

James (Albuquerque) Nov 30 - 3:36 PM

Son, the answer is no

Craig (Dallas) Dec 01 - 9:28 AM

And son, yes...yes he can

Craig (Dallas) Dec 01 - 9:29 AM

But the question is, which of my lad's two questions do my answers relate to ?!?!

Craig (Dallas) Dec 01 - 9:30 AM

Notes
This shows a preview based on your Top 7 players. Your top 7 players (and your opponents) may not be playing. The effective overall and effective grades INCLUDE BOTH FIT and HOME COURT additions.

This is a basic prediction and does not mean you will win if you get the prediction checkmark. In fact, you will likely lose. This is a simple totaling of the checkmarks where we double the count for OH and MB since you have two of those on the floor versus the other positions.

We are interested in adding to this concept though like using a Top-14 where we double the weight for the starter but add the numbers for the backups as they will play in a session too. Thoughts or ideas?

ELO
For ELO, 145 Rating points are added to the home team's ELO rating to determine the chance of winning.
