Also make sure you're using the "Use Friends List" for league placement (choose Profile and look at the top right-hand side menu). That has torpedoed many a new manager their first week.

Thanks ... the other team:

Congratulations! I've been out and just got back 15 minutes ago. Don't have a LabRats logo, so that will take a few minutes. Meanwhile...

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Congratulations!

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Congratulations!

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Congratulations! This is what you get if I don't have your logo. Hope you can figure out it's the Left Coast LabRats.

I know this is the wrong version, but...


The wait is finally over! After 60 years of PT play, the Waffletown Syrups win their very first Perfect tier World Series title!

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Fairly cliche, but it's late. By the way, suggestions for themes for the wrap up would be very welcome.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Please take a few minutes to check your list and make sure to submit the 30 names closest to your level. We'll get a test if three's enough because Port Ruppert, Terra Incognita, and Asylum all definitely had Norwood friended and submitted. Let's be perfect next week.

Congrats-My PT20 version of the Warriors has been in Perfect tier for 57 seasons, making the playoffs 52 of them and still have not won a title.

From a quick scan of the friends list it seems that aside from Diamond, all the OL teams made it into the proper place. There are 5 Diamond level teams and they are in 3 different leagues. Not sure what's going on there.

Here's the Gold league placement. Seems like all 6 OL teams made it. Also, even though the Pro/Rel tab indicated otherwise, Annandale got promoted to gold.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Well, diamond got screwed up, unfortunately in the first season we might have had a crown chase. With my three teams in silver, I'll be handling those standings. Will need others to pick up the others.


Here's what I've got:


B213: Sierra Vista, Bluffton, Left Coast, Jefferson Valley, Daytona Beach, K-Town, Norwood Red Menace


S263: Hooterville, Terra Incognita, Port Ruppert, Asylum, Transylvania, Waffletown


G309: Brigadoon, Annandale, Coney Island, Krikkit, Palolo, Norwood Defenders


I223: Otonokizaka, Hartford, Cochise County, Fort Huachuca, Ring Road


Vlora and Asheboro are both in St199, but there obviously won't be a crown chase.

[Edster007]

I will do Gold or Bronze. I would appreciate not doing both if someone wants one of the two. If not I will do them but I am getting busier at work early in the morning and wont be doing both daily.

[Charlatan]

I can do gold this week.

[Edster007]

I will handle the Bronze League

The Asylum Keepers had tremendous pack luck early and broke quickly, moving into silver in 2023...and there they still sit. They've won between 60 and 70-something games each season. They even enlisted JoBu a couple of weeks ago. The net result has been underwhelming. As a silver tourney team, they've done okay, generally grabbing a pack or two a day, rarely getting completely shut out. They've also done well in the 750 PP tourney. Pack pulls have been pretty poor, though the 88 Paul Derringer has been a nice bullpen add. The net result of it all is that they've been able to accumulate points very slowly and make just a couple of slight upgrades over the course of the six weeks of waving to the other OL teams passing through.


That all seemed to change the other day when JoBu came through in a big way. I don't usually enter the daily tourneys if I'm gonna be around and can check in every couple of hours. However, because I knew I'd be unable to, I entered the daily silver pack tourney...and won 15 packs. Wow! They added two more overnight, so this morning I ripped them, feeling the JoBu turn of luck had come.


Not so fast. The 102 card bonanza contained two live gold, which might sell for 1300 each, three live silver, which I'll keep for tourney teams, 31 live bronze to sell, 7 OL bronze, which I'll keep, 14 OL iron, which I'll keep. Sorry to sound so whiney in the midst of such luck, but just one good pack could've have turned it around, and fate did appear to be smiling on Asylum. Ah well, I have accumulated close to 20,000 PP, so some improvement should be possible. Thanks for listening.


By the way, what do you folks do with your excess OL (that's what I call historical cards) cards? I've been saving mine. Not sure why. Live cards, except for tourney cards, are gone as I get 'em. Probably should cull some of the tourney cards, as well. Just haven't had time to go through my tourney rosters lately. Hopefully later today.


Good luck to all in 2029.

I always have to remind myself it's a journey and not a race.... trying my best to stick with the "only sell duplicates" rule, though I've broken it twice so far as I've sold a pack pull (diamond Brad Lidge) and a tourney reward (diamond Roy White, I think it was)...

started working on the live collections midway through last season after it was obvious my bunch wasn't going anywhere and I wouldn't make enough points to pick up any old timey improvements... figure a few of those reward cards can fit into my theme, and the rest might be useful in tourney play

Jobu never brought my San Pedro team luck last year. I had amazing good pack luck early as well but have done the best at flipping cards. Thanks to the pandemic I have had more time to check in and have made pretty good gains weekly on both my teams just doing that.

As for the excess historical cards if I am going to get a decent return to help build the teams bankroll I put them in the AH when the AH isn't flooded with that card to try and extract maximum value.

For a team below .500 last week Coney Island did pretty well point wise turning two triple plays and Guidry ended the season on 41 game save streak-shame it doesn't carry over to this week. I did play at midweek, a few of silvers I had to sell off a few players on the 26 man roster and reinvest.

[Charlatan]

Last year all my FTP teams sold off the players I replaced pretty much as fast as possible. This year I'm selling off my replaced guys a lot slower. I mean, most of the guys I'm replacing at this point are golds, and the majority of them would probably sell for 2-4k PP, which isn't much at this point in my teams' evolution.

Plus I keep telling myself that someday they might add a mission for some of these guys, which would make them worth a lot more.

Which reminds me, I do tend to sell the cards that are part of a mission (once I verify I'm not going to complete the mission). Because I think the odds are there won't be another mission involving the same card.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Seems like Asylum will not get 10 games in for OL this season. I believe the schedule is set now, because there's been a sim, although no games were played. I guess that first sim must be for settling the schedule. Sigh...

[Edster007]

Everyone in contention for a crown. Norwood and Jefferson Valley are the only teams with more than 30 games as they are also foes in the NC Central Division. Four teams dont see action until May.
