We'll need someone to do division previews relatively soon.

Anyone want to do them? I don't really know how it's going to work in the Sub-Par with the divisions being what they are, but let's see how many volunteers we have first.

Super-League Divisions

Memento Mori
Burns Zephyrs
Los Angeles Misanthropes
Slaughterhouse Nine
SanSan Outlaws

Vae Victis
Rochester Generics
The Hague Honkbalers
Towa City Demon Hunters
Titanic Deck Chairs

Sic Transit Vir
RCMP
Moscow Golden Tsars
Grim Indictment
World Warriors

Mark Bellhorn
Mexico City Machine Guns
Khartoum Doom
Nethyr Zephyrs
Krakow Dragons

Senor Goodtimes
Portland Panderers
Luna Landers
Spiral Mountain Breegulls
Omaha Forgettables

Norris-Smythe
South Bolton Eazy W's
Vietnam Big Daddies
Paleto Pilots
Enix Slimes

Despair will never let you down.
Malice will never disappoint you.

Personally, I would suggest revamping the system with the Sub-Par previews.

Instead of doing division previews, I would suggest league previews covering all nine teams of a division. You would axe the positional comparisons, and would instead give a short overview over each team, outline one particular strength and weakness of each team, and give a general overview of how the divisions could shake out.

I think that would make it easier.

Also, I'm not doing poo poo for previews this season. I've said that before and then still ended up doing something after nobody else steps up, but I mean it this time.

Well, turns out that apparently shepard banned me somehow. While sleeping. :iiam:

Anyway, here's the final divisional alignments for the Sub-Par - they're the same as the preliminary ones, but they're finalized now:

Malice League (DH)

Romo Division

Kōbe Crows
Brotherhood of Nod
Everett Eagles

Casilla Division

Camden Buzzsaw
W.E.B. Dat Bois
Milan Mosquitoes

Affeldt Division

Walney Rakers
Hollywood HulkaMatts
ЦСКА Роли

Despair League (No-DH)

Bumgarner Division

Joliet Jailbirds
Ogaki Aces
HOMER POWER

Cain Division

Akabira Killer Mikes
Hill City Dinos
Sebastian Thunderbuckets

Lincecum Division

Prague Plague Doctors
Arlen Propane Sellers
Skogr Sundr-Slayers

Let's see how this stupid experiment goes.
