| Spoilers. I manage to avoid being spoiled by results but late (here in France) on Sunday I went to the recruiting page and was greeted by the big red writing saying I couldn't recruit any more before scrolling slowly to see how I did. | Steve | Nov. 19th at 5:50 AM gmt |
| Looks like we have some Conference races coming down to the wire with 2 conference matches to go... | Allan | Nov. 18th at 1:32 AM gmt |
| That worked, Al | Steve | Nov. 11th at 11:40 PM gmt |
| Try one more time Steve. I had to make a quick fix. | Allan | Nov. 11th at 6:43 PM gmt |
| Still not working. I picked angry/swearing. It's worked every other time I've tried but this was the first time I tried after a full 40 RP bonus. | Steve | Nov. 11th at 6:32 PM gmt |
| Give it another try, I reset some DB rows for you. Let me know which one you pick too Steve if it doesn't show up. Perhaps something for me to fix. | Allan | Nov. 11th at 4:29 PM gmt |
| I can't make a wellness post: I can type it in but the button doesn't work or light up. I'm not sure if it ever lit up. Only reason I can think is I already have the media bonus tick. | Steve | Nov. 11th at 2:24 AM gmt |
| I wish I had more 5 setters | Steve | Nov. 11th at 2:21 AM gmt |
| I hate matches that are played in 5 sets | Antoine | Nov. 10th at 11:13 PM gmt |
| Great question Roger! I prefer words like "conspiracy theory" or "definitely intentional"... | Allan | Nov. 5th at 12:09 AM gmt |
| Al - is it coincidence that the Nauseated emoji in the Wellness check has a Pea-like quality about it? I feel picked on 🤣 | Roger | Nov. 4th at 7:10 PM gmt |
| Bryce: Please send me an email w/screenshot and I'll take a look, thanks! | Allan | Oct. 27th at 9:11 PM gmt |
| Bug report for Al. No matter which week you click on in the past coaches polls the title of the poll is always the most recent week. | Bryce | Oct. 27th at 3:37 AM gmt |
| I got the email kiss of death from Al... | Bryce | Oct. 27th at 3:35 AM gmt |
| Speaking of John, it looks like Hoss Hamwaffle is up in Step 1 recruiting this week...sigh. | Allan | Oct. 24th at 11:59 PM gmt |
| Nice. I walked early this morning. | John | Oct. 20th at 10:14 PM gmt |
| Will be running a little later today. | Allan | Oct. 20th at 7:57 PM gmt |
| I had swordfish steak on Crete and swordfish souvlaki on Skiathos. | Steve | Oct. 18th at 5:20 PM gmt |
| Swordfish steak can be tasty. Tomatoes are too acidic, and I cannot get past the texture of mushrooms. | Brian | Oct. 18th at 2:47 PM gmt |
| Antoine, if you beat the Tomatoes this weekend I'll quit ;-) On the other hand feel free to beat the Peas :-) | Steve | Oct. 18th at 9:36 AM gmt |
| I've had all three, Antoine. I think Tomatoes are the healthiest and are the only one of the three my son would eat. | Steve | Oct. 18th at 5:15 AM gmt |
| Philosophical question of the evening.... What is more edible: swordfish, tomatoes or mushrooms? | Antoine | Oct. 17th at 10:44 PM gmt |
| Nine. What a number. Turn it upside down and it's a six. What other number can say that (other than six)? Guess what? That's the number of sets we have won thus far. Nine. 9. Ugh. | Brian | Oct. 10th at 6:29 PM gmt |
| What a bizarre auction! One big big signing... and lot's of bargains | Roy | Oct. 6th at 7:03 PM gmt |
| Did I miss a Steve post? Thise are not to be trifled with. | Phil | Oct. 6th at 2:51 PM gmt |
| Do take note of Steve's posts. | James | Oct. 1st at 10:03 AM gmt |
| Nice work on the Do's and Don't Tips Steve. Thank you! | Allan | Sep. 30th at 7:39 PM gmt |
| Yes sir! Thanks to a lot of help from Roger on this new Honor Roll. Updated one data point today to show proper grade. | Allan | Sep. 30th at 7:10 PM gmt |
| Al, is one of them the Honor Roll? Pretty near feature. | Jason | Sep. 30th at 10:36 AM gmt |
| A couple of new additions to the site this week. Thanks to Roger for all his help! I wonder if anyone will spot them... | Allan | Sep. 29th at 11:21 PM gmt |
| Just to be clear, the software will blow up if the PAC-8 finishes the season like it did after today's matches... | Allan | Sep. 29th at 10:13 PM gmt |
| Thanks for making the wellness check qualify for a press bonus, honey! I need all the easy help I can get with that! | Amy | Sep. 23rd at 11:49 PM gmt |
| I'm stressed... The results of my second session. I'm scared! The stress of the game! | Antoine | Sep. 22nd at 4:04 PM gmt |
| Wellness check now added to Media Bonus. | Allan | Sep. 22nd at 3:29 PM gmt |
| Home advantage increases ATK, BLK and DEF. For individaul players their ratings go up by: L 2.25 S 1.75 OH 3.5 RS 4.75 MB 4.75 This equates to 3.6 points per team so for COL at DAL playing T7 it is now 84 vs 82. #Nothinginit | Steve | Sep. 14th at 7:50 AM gmt |
| Poor Team is looking for RP donor for urgent recruitment. Thank you for your generosity (and hop 5 RP !) | Antoine | Sep. 12th at 4:39 PM gmt |
| anyways that's the rp bonus sorted | John | Sep. 11th at 2:04 AM gmt |
| mini melts, they call them. | John | Sep. 11th at 2:03 AM gmt |
| I just discovered knockoff dippin dots today. | John | Sep. 11th at 2:03 AM gmt |
| Mr Steve. Thanks for the xp planning... Now I know I'm bad at math! :-) | Antoine | Sep. 10th at 6:59 PM gmt |
| NEW SEASON HERE WE GO | Aires | Sep. 10th at 5:43 PM gmt |
| Steve, that seems kind of dangerous. That ball can go anywhere! | Brian | Sep. 9th at 12:54 PM gmt |
| Will the "sky ball" serve be introduced to TMVL? | Steve | Aug. 1st at 4:36 PM gmt |
| Thanks guys. I'll be back with you on info/next steps over the next week or so. Currently on a much needed vacation for a few days. | Allan | Jul. 22nd at 11:33 PM gmt |
| Thanks for another great season. | James | Jul. 22nd at 1:17 PM gmt |
| Thank you Al. | Brian | Jul. 18th at 4:15 PM gmt |
| Agree with Aires, thanks for a great season. | Pierre | Jul. 16th at 6:19 PM gmt |
| ty for another great season | Aires | Jul. 16th at 4:16 PM gmt |
| Congrats to every winner, but... I just remembered what time of year it was. | John | Jul. 14th at 10:13 PM gmt |
| No worries, John. We worked in a reference. Match 40 was a fun one to view! | Kevin | Jul. 12th at 3:54 PM gmt |
| I don't think Kevin will be talking about the boygan this week. | John | Jul. 11th at 6:12 PM gmt |
| What was that about commentary Phil? | John | Jul. 11th at 6:07 PM gmt |
| Al steals 5k by offering commentary on my commentary. We need a Mockingbird award for this kind of behavior | Phil | Jul. 6th at 5:23 PM gmt |
| Some excellent work from P-Mac on those recruiting comments... | Allan | Jun. 30th at 11:03 PM gmt |
| This Italian wasn’t anything to be afraid of though. | Bryce | Jun. 30th at 3:47 PM gmt |
| Are England going to luck their way to the final? All the best teams on the left side of the bracket and now Italy out on England's side | Steve | Jun. 29th at 5:58 PM gmt |
| Italy are so lucky they have never defeated Croatia in a competitive match | John | Jun. 25th at 2:33 PM gmt |
| Yes John, but I mean you were playing the luckiest tournament country in world football in my humble opinion, so...it may have been inevitable... | Allan | Jun. 24th at 10:35 PM gmt |
| 0-3 this session. Things can only get better, right? Right? | Brian | Jun. 24th at 10:27 PM gmt |
| Olmec hates me so much it's spilling into real life 🇭🇷 | John | Jun. 24th at 10:26 PM gmt |
| Rob needs less time bowling and more time TMVLing. | Phil | Jun. 24th at 3:48 AM gmt |
| Either Antioch needs a new (better) manager, or this manager needs a new (better) team. Trying to figure that out. | Rob | Jun. 23rd at 2:59 PM gmt |
| I'm SOR/ry JOHN/ that RIGHT/ beLONGS/ to ME. | Phil | Jun. 18th at 5:34 PM gmt |
| If the league expands again, dibs on the Ingalls Park Iambic Pentameters. | John | Jun. 18th at 9:16 AM gmt |
| We can do haiku? Who knew to serve ace haiku? Bump set spike haiku. | Phil | Jun. 18th at 4:17 AM gmt |
| Please keep an eye out for "Haiku John" on the Pandas - Swamp Rats final preview. 😎 | Allan | Jun. 16th at 10:55 PM gmt |
| Noticing that the TMVL Cup is upon us and I did not get to implementing John's Pod idea. It is on my list I'll see if I can do it next season. | Allan | Jun. 3rd at 10:12 PM gmt |
| (I'm seeing if OLMEC is suggestible at great risk to myself) | John | Jun. 3rd at 3:59 PM gmt |
| Hoping Monday morning is a mundane morning with several Bats victories that don't make the BUM | John | Jun. 3rd at 3:59 PM gmt |
| Extending deadline a bit for today. Hope to run later or Monday morning. | Allan | Jun. 2nd at 7:30 PM gmt |
| Crisis averted. | John | May. 24th at 6:11 AM gmt |
| It's a shame Kevin only gets 5 RP fir that comment. | Phil | May. 23rd at 11:03 PM gmt |
| Steve was almost down to 3-digit RPs to get his next 5*. Crisis averted | Kevin | May. 22nd at 8:28 PM gmt |
| Thanks Al, sorted. | Steve | May. 20th at 9:09 PM gmt |
| I updated the time of the deadline so I think that should fix that issue and you'll get credit for anything added over the past 2 hours going forward. | Allan | May. 20th at 7:01 PM gmt |
| ohh wait, you probably mean they are not adding post session. | Mike | May. 20th at 6:05 PM gmt |
| Media bonuses stop counting at the original/normal deadline, same in United. | Mike | May. 20th at 6:01 PM gmt |
| Media bonus doesn't appear to be adding. Is this because the deadline was reset to & PM BST, which it isn't as I type. | Steve | May. 20th at 5:43 PM gmt |
| Will be running on Monday. | Allan | May. 20th at 1:25 AM gmt |
| that dashboard page is a vital one for me too! | Vick | May. 19th at 4:50 PM gmt |
| I love the Recruiting Dashboard. I make a lot of decisions based on what I see there. | Rob | May. 19th at 1:54 AM gmt |
| Sounds good Dr. White. Just the caching gremlin I guess. I'm glad to hear someone uses the Recruiting Dashboard. That's kind of a cool page! 😎 | Allan | May. 18th at 11:36 PM gmt |
| Working again now | James | May. 18th at 2:31 PM gmt |
| Little bug to squash Al , on my recruiting dashboard MB position isn't showing up | James | May. 17th at 5:05 PM gmt |
| Should be working now Phil (aka Mr. "Who Among Us...). | Allan | May. 12th at 2:53 PM gmt |
| I can’t seem to access the match pages or pre-match commentaries… | Phil | May. 12th at 7:12 AM gmt |
| Who is Drake? | Phil | May. 12th at 7:08 AM gmt |
| I hope Drake will accept three quarters and a Chipotle coupon. | Jason | May. 12th at 12:17 AM gmt |
| You heard it from Vick! It’ll take a 1550 bid to win Drake | Kevin | May. 10th at 6:35 PM gmt |
| There are too many clubs bidding for Drake in the recruiting. Drop out now to save disappointment. | Vick | May. 9th at 3:16 PM gmt |
| Do they still exist? It wasn't the first hit on google. | James | May. 8th at 3:31 PM gmt |
| Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope | Kevin | May. 7th at 7:55 PM gmt |
| What's a SASE? | John | May. 6th at 11:18 PM gmt |
| We are off to an amazing start. Don’t get envious lads, you too can build up a juggernaut like ours in only 3 seasons. Send a SASE to me and I will send you the secrets of team building. | Brian | May. 6th at 10:15 PM gmt |
| Minor website add. Last year's conference winner's logo shows up next to the conf name on the standings page. Adding text like "defending champs" cluttered it up, so I just did logo for now. | Allan | May. 5th at 11:58 PM gmt |
| What is it about the number "58" and why did Starkville average that as a team this session? And why are ALL of Starkville's stars on FIT +1? Hmmm... | Allan | Apr. 30th at 10:13 PM gmt |
| John, seeing as you played 58 in all three games I think you should love your team more. | Steve | Apr. 29th at 7:29 PM gmt |
| I agree with Eduard about an unnecessary level of randomness. | Steve | Apr. 29th at 7:26 PM gmt |
| Who still thinks OLMEC loves me | John | Apr. 29th at 6:30 PM gmt |
| The wall works fine, though | Eduard | Apr. 29th at 2:52 PM gmt |
| (Minor) bug report: Commenting the stats seems not to count for the media bonus | Eduard | Apr. 29th at 2:51 PM gmt |
| I'm not convinced of the injury concept in general. Without any means of gauging hardness, it's just another layer of randomness | Eduard | Apr. 29th at 2:44 PM gmt |
| @Injuries: A simple implementation (without OOP) would be to give each team 7 additional invulnerable" 1*s - almost nobody would play them, and they would always be available "in case" | Eduard | Apr. 29th at 2:43 PM gmt |
| Phil - There would need to be some roster resizing (more players) to be able to deal with injuries and/or players out of position. There would be a lot to figure out. It could be done if someone came up with a plan that had buy in. | Allan | Apr. 28th at 8:46 PM gmt |
| Why are there no injuries in TMVL? I assumed it was easier to start the league without it, but it would be programmed in later. Seems like there's fewer injuries in volleyball, but still, there should be some? | Phil | Apr. 28th at 7:27 AM gmt |
| We'll see if it works. | Jason | Apr. 28th at 1:57 AM gmt |
| I've made offerings to OLMEC every day of the off-season. | Jason | Apr. 28th at 1:57 AM gmt |
| Welcome back everybody! | Bryce | Apr. 28th at 1:36 AM gmt |
| Please keep in mind that the program that put Roy and CB in the same WGM Cup group was..."random". | Allan | Apr. 26th at 11:38 PM gmt |
| Still a bit shorter than ours will be. | Brian | Apr. 24th at 6:53 PM gmt |
| Going to be a long year for the Bullfrogs | Aires | Apr. 23rd at 8:47 AM gmt |
| Thanks for the heads up Eduard. Glad the backup option worked. Probably just Olmec getting used to the two player names from John's name generator... 😎 | Allan | Apr. 21st at 9:48 PM gmt |
| FYI: The orders link didn't work for me. "Option A" worked, though, so no serious To-Do | Eduard | Apr. 21st at 8:40 AM gmt |
| Looks like the Top 3 T-7 teams to open the season are Dr. James White, Roger, and Roy. We welcome our new overlords... | Allan | Apr. 21st at 1:56 AM gmt |
| Yes, John, the HoM should be located in our little town. Anywhere else would be poppycock. | Brian | Mar. 28th at 11:52 AM gmt |
| Yep. I miss college. | John | Mar. 23rd at 12:28 AM gmt |
| It’s fun watching John relive his days of T-ball glory | Kevin | Mar. 22nd at 4:57 PM gmt |
| (Brian throws a grooved fastball down the middle) Will the Hall of Mediocrity be located in Schenectady? (I run around the bases) | John | Mar. 16th at 1:24 PM gmt |
| What about a Hall of Mediocrity? | Brian | Mar. 14th at 2:32 PM gmt |
| I love the Hall of Fame idea... I'm just afraid that Antioch's HoF would be as empty as our trophy cabinet! | Rob | Mar. 10th at 4:18 PM gmt |
| Matt - a Hall of Fame was on the list of ideas related to Stats that Al has asked me to keep warm for him. | Roger | Mar. 9th at 7:46 AM gmt |
| Ever thought about giving each team page a Hall of Fame Section? Where any Seniors that have graduated, especially those with decent stats can be put? Probably too hard to code or whatever I guess | Matthew | Mar. 8th at 5:21 AM gmt |
| Yes that makes sense- it's amazing hiw much FIT makes a difference. | Steve | Mar. 4th at 10:46 AM gmt |
| Thanks Steve. The stats page was caching. I added the 2 lines I usually do to fix that. Hopefully that's better. After thinking I was wrong I then re-thunk that. I believe numbers show lower for Ef Overall BECAUSE teams dropped their FIT this session (by playing stars in all 3 matches)? Let me know what you think Steve. | Allan | Mar. 3rd at 10:35 PM gmt |
| I was looking at the T7 stats and noticed Cincinnati are missing and Portland isn't showing correctly. I went to each conference where they are showing but effective T7 for Portland is way off. | Steve | Mar. 3rd at 10:06 PM gmt |
| Thanks Matt! Please send me an email (it will remind me) and I'll send you the questions. | Allan | Feb. 28th at 9:14 PM gmt |
| If no one else volunteers for interview I can do it Al | Matthew | Feb. 27th at 7:28 AM gmt |
| We only have 8 and two of those are A- | Steve | Feb. 26th at 8:19 PM gmt |
| If you'll be Pekin their bags for them, I would be happy to nominate the Bats as the realignment representative, it's an easy flight by dark | John | Feb. 26th at 4:00 PM gmt |
| Al - you may not want to look at Columbia’s squad then | Roger | Feb. 26th at 3:58 PM gmt |
| Currently thinking about moving Pekin to another conference next season...7 A potential players on the roster... | Allan | Feb. 26th at 1:35 AM gmt |
| Who wants to be interviewed next? | Allan | Feb. 25th at 11:46 PM gmt |
| So far so good Paul...at least our Big 8 will have 1 team in the Final! | Allan | Feb. 24th at 10:11 PM gmt |
| Hoping I don't let the Big 8 down | Paul | Feb. 11th at 9:18 AM gmt |
| Only 2 from Big 8 #countingonpaul | Steve | Feb. 8th at 12:48 PM gmt |
| 6 of the Sweet 16 in the National Championship are from SEC | Roy | Feb. 7th at 6:53 PM gmt |
| good to see two shrimps in the team of the week | Vick | Jan. 21st at 1:40 PM gmt |
| Still gutted I lose 2 games while having higher overall skills. | Pierre | Jan. 20th at 4:02 PM gmt |
| Still gutted wr scored more points and lost. | Steve | Jan. 17th at 7:39 AM gmt |
| Kevin: If there's room for another letter or category for "The BUM Report" please check out D+ vs D+ Sheboygan - Columbia this week... 😎 | Allan | Jan. 17th at 1:22 AM gmt |
| What a disaster weekend. 4 times a L in a row. We need to recover for a while. | Pierre | Jan. 14th at 8:46 PM gmt |
| Everybody has a DEF rating that is used for Digs. Only the back three players (position V, VI and I at the time of the serve) can be picked out for a Dig. Only OHs and Ls have a RCV rating and it doesn't matter where they are in the rotation. | Steve | Jan. 7th at 10:08 PM gmt |
| So there's only 1 chance for a receive on a given point. But there could be multiple chances for digs if the ball goes back and forth across the net multiple times. | Allan | Jan. 7th at 4:18 PM gmt |
| Receive is receiving a serve, while a dig prevents an attempted spike. | Jason | Jan. 7th at 4:18 PM gmt |
| Good Question Pierre! Receive (aka passing) only occurs when receiving a serve. Digs occur when the other team attacks. | Allan | Jan. 7th at 4:17 PM gmt |
| What's the difference between receive and digs? | Pierre | Jan. 7th at 9:44 AM gmt |
| Yep, I have a fat head :) | Craig | Jan. 4th at 11:52 PM gmt |
| Is Craig's photo in comments just a little bigger than everybody else's and that's why it gets threaded in every conversation? Haha. | Bryce | Jan. 4th at 8:53 PM gmt |
| May the new year bring much success and happiness to our Squirrels. Please hold your breath. | Brian | Jan. 4th at 2:34 PM gmt |
| Happy new year all | Matthew | Jan. 3rd at 7:05 AM gmt |
| Happy new year everybody! | Pierre | Jan. 1st at 5:52 PM gmt |
| Happy New Year everyone! | Roger | Jan. 1st at 8:51 AM gmt |
| Fixed the front page Recruiting Results that had gone a little haywire (had some MSWL code mixed in apparently). Added COMMENTS for the STATS LEADERS section to the front page. | Allan | Dec. 31st at 11:52 PM gmt |
| Added an "announcement" at the top of the page as well. Thanks for pointing it out Jason. Thanks to James Tucker for helping with these. | Allan | Dec. 29th at 5:01 PM gmt |
| CB, it's at the top of the match preview page. | Jason | Dec. 29th at 4:58 PM gmt |
| Competition info tab? Where's that?? | Craig | Dec. 29th at 10:26 AM gmt |
| Just noticed the COMPETITION INFO link for the WGM, great add, Al! | Mike | Dec. 28th at 5:07 PM gmt |
| After you vote in the Coaches Poll you'll see what Max thinks of his poor dad... | Allan | Dec. 26th at 12:54 AM gmt |
| how many RP´s for Tucker Rose? | Vick | Dec. 21st at 12:21 PM gmt |
| a transfer portal in the opening two sessions would be interesting but probably unbalancing! | Vick | Dec. 21st at 12:17 PM gmt |
| I am sorry that I missed the first session (again). | Brian | Dec. 17th at 11:30 PM gmt |
| There is nothing wrong with TMVL that a transfer portal won't fix. | Phil | Dec. 16th at 5:48 AM gmt |
| I thought the rule was whoever selected a recruit first gets him? So no one else should be going anywhere near the ones I selected. Thank you :) | Matthew | Dec. 12th at 8:36 PM gmt |
| Same pot John but the maxs, +1s and +2s seem to have landed in the less important skills | Roger | Dec. 12th at 8:27 AM gmt |
| Al is already playing mind games with recruiting. | John | Dec. 11th at 10:37 PM gmt |
| The others didn't roll so well though Roy! Yours look good though! | James | Dec. 11th at 10:10 PM gmt |
| Will this be my year! Does cincy suck yet? | Aires | Dec. 11th at 9:21 PM gmt |
| Just you, they always come from the same pot | John | Dec. 11th at 8:56 PM gmt |
| Is it just me or are this year’s crop of recruits fairly ropey? | Roger | Dec. 11th at 7:00 PM gmt |
| No-one will be surprised that the Hogs 5* MB rolled three 11s | Roy | Dec. 11th at 3:52 PM gmt |
| > Who will run the stats It wasn't really bad. Your 5* OH rolled really great by Quincy (or SB) standards Your 4* MB is Quincy standard, though | Eduard | Dec. 11th at 12:42 PM gmt |
| After breaking the record for RP spending I am very disappointed in Brehme's SET roll. | Steve | Dec. 11th at 10:45 AM gmt |
| We have completed 10 seasons and Mike Halpin has 9 Conference Titles... | Allan | Dec. 11th at 1:34 AM gmt |
| Who will run the stats to tell me how many bad dice rolls I had again for recruits? | Allan | Dec. 10th at 11:28 PM gmt |
| Submit before Sunday's deadline, Brian. | Steve | Dec. 1st at 6:55 PM gmt |
| Walk-on question: Should I submit those when ready, or wait until closer to the start of S11? | Brian | Dec. 1st at 5:40 PM gmt |
| Cheers Al, for running another superb season 👏 | Roger | Nov. 27th at 6:00 PM gmt |
| got three shrimps in the PAC8 team of the week including 1 freshman and a sophomore. Bodes good for the future! | Vick | Nov. 27th at 10:09 AM gmt |
| By now, however, the quads look mainly fine. So they should be a pretty good estimate for SOS. | Eduard | Nov. 25th at 10:45 AM gmt |
| Example: SB's huge loss vs NRP inflated *SB*'s rating - since NRP turned quad I | Eduard | Nov. 25th at 10:43 AM gmt |
| The effect Roy mentioned for the NET rankings is quite valid in the early rounds of the season. | Eduard | Nov. 25th at 10:42 AM gmt |
| For example Manitowoc have 4 teams in their own division rated Quad 1 for every game they play against them (including Sheboygan) Dallas have a fair few extra-divison Q1 games | Roy | Nov. 24th at 7:45 PM gmt |
| Not sure the Quad stats help. It looks like the worse T7 teams have more Quad 1 games due to the stats difference | Roy | Nov. 24th at 7:42 PM gmt |
| I was just thinking an average of your opponents' overall rating or something. Nothing fancy. But match adjusted would be interesting too. | John | Nov. 24th at 2:38 PM gmt |
| Or would you rather see who has faced the highest Ratings Pts per Match average for opponents? Like a highest avg T7 against? | Kevin | Nov. 20th at 10:21 PM gmt |
| Go to the rankings page for each team and see who’s played the most Quad I teams? | Kevin | Nov. 20th at 10:18 PM gmt |
| It sounds like a stats guru is needing some stats to figure out like a strength of schedule or something? | Allan | Nov. 20th at 5:04 PM gmt |
| Is there any way to see who has played the hardest schedule? | John | Nov. 20th at 12:05 AM gmt |
| Yes there was lots to see in Balboa Park. Some nice museums and lots of interesting art. We even got some Ukrainian music thrown in whilst waiting for the tram train back to the car park from a anti Putin demo | Vick | Nov. 10th at 6:55 AM gmt |
| San Diego has some great parks though | John | Nov. 3rd at 1:40 PM gmt |
| If it makes Phil feel any better, driving around San Diego was even worse. Not to mention how hard it seemed to be to find somewhere to park there! | Vick | Nov. 3rd at 5:10 AM gmt |
| You fool! You think you can come onto our highways and byways with you rusty little putt putt mobile and your SJ Shrimper bumper sticker and just tool around town without recourse? | Phil | Oct. 30th at 2:01 AM gmt |
| Be safe out there Vick! Check the U1 "Compo's Complaining Wall" for a response from Phil (I think)... | Allan | Oct. 29th at 11:55 PM gmt |
| Carlsbad - not a place you want to drive around - and luckily we were only driving through. (actually we are sure it actually is a nice place, but the drivers are a bit manic! | Vick | Oct. 28th at 2:35 AM gmt |
| I think there's a lot of truth to that Bryce. Also, there's Cinci...clean sweep for JT and company in this weeks rankings. Well done James! 😎 | Allan | Oct. 18th at 7:15 PM gmt |
| A level of parity has come to TMVL this season it looks like. | Bryce | Oct. 16th at 5:28 PM gmt |
| Our worst session of the season thus far. | Brian | Oct. 16th at 4:18 PM gmt |
| Brian: It's on the bracket's web page | John | Oct. 15th at 8:15 PM gmt |
| Found it. | Brian | Oct. 11th at 1:36 PM gmt |
| Stupid question: Where is the WGM bracket? I can't locate it (again). Thanks! | Brian | Oct. 11th at 1:16 PM gmt |
| The Starkville bubble has burst | Eduard | Oct. 9th at 4:36 PM gmt |
| Worst session this season. | Eduard | Oct. 9th at 4:35 PM gmt |
| Okay JW, Jason, and C-Ball. Wednesday it is this week. Don't let me down. | Allan | Oct. 9th at 12:21 AM gmt |
| Yes to Wed for the Coach Poll vote, pls. I always miss it and am bummed to have done so. | Mike | Oct. 8th at 6:28 PM gmt |
| I think I need someone to call me several times on deadline day to remind me to vote. | Jason | Oct. 4th at 1:36 AM gmt |
| See "Coaches Poll Payback". Would a Wed voting deadline be preferable to Tuesdays? | Allan | Oct. 3rd at 11:21 PM gmt |
| missed Coaches poll again :-( | James | Oct. 3rd at 6:20 PM gmt |
| Olmec owns me. | Steve | Oct. 1st at 8:33 PM gmt |
| OLMEC owes me | John | Oct. 1st at 5:59 PM gmt |
| Looking forward to a good week | John | Oct. 1st at 5:59 PM gmt |
| Also to be noted is that the Raccoons also had two players in the TMVL Team of the Week and in fact the entire team were composed of PAC8 players. Don´t think another division has managed that! | Vick | Oct. 1st at 1:28 PM gmt |
| well pleased to see the players did indeed step up their game last session. Rodriguez and B- rated Dyer got in to the team of the week and only the Raccoons setter got a higher rating | Vick | Oct. 1st at 1:24 PM gmt |
| Forgot the old CP this week. | John | Sep. 30th at 10:33 PM gmt |
| Already 5 different teams (with 7 coaches selecting) have 1st place votes in the new Coaches Poll. 19 hours to go... | Allan | Sep. 25th at 10:59 PM gmt |
| Yes. Paul Peel to the Bananas Stephen Prawn to the Shrimps Carl Crappyboardgame to the Twisters | John | Sep. 25th at 10:13 PM gmt |
| Has there been a more fated recruit than Moose Baranowski to Mat-Su? | Kevin | Sep. 25th at 9:05 PM gmt |
| "...coach Hall has told his players they need to step up.." This reminded me of when my wife and I first starting going to the rugby and she turned to me and said "Why don't they just run faster?" | Roger | Sep. 24th at 12:05 PM gmt |
| with only Schiffer and Stefanidis getting into the positional top ten player rankings coach Hall has told his players they need to step up and start putting in some performances! No more slacking and sipping Saguaro juice | Vick | Sep. 23rd at 12:11 PM gmt |
| It's a bold strategy Cotton. | James | Sep. 22nd at 8:01 AM gmt |
| But if it works will be a one time thing as then everyone will do it!! | James | Sep. 19th at 7:01 PM gmt |
| Chasing the bargain buys I guess | James | Sep. 19th at 7:01 PM gmt |
| The only result I can foresee is a broke Chameleon. | Steve | Sep. 18th at 9:00 PM gmt |
| Obviously the Chams try something *really* new. But I'm interested in the results, too. | Eduard | Sep. 18th at 4:11 PM gmt |
| Anyone else fascinated by the Chameleons’ recruiting strategy this season and wondering how it will play out? | Kevin | Sep. 18th at 3:09 PM gmt |
| Sheboygan would be the #1 WGM Cup knockout seed if things ended today. Can Mr. Holden hang onto that for one more week? | Allan | Sep. 18th at 12:15 AM gmt |
| Sorry just needed to finish off the bonus in time | John | Sep. 17th at 5:40 PM gmt |
| Let's GO! | John | Sep. 17th at 5:40 PM gmt |
| Meh. | Phil | Sep. 17th at 7:20 AM gmt |
| Coaches poll updated. I had a blip last week that I fixed and broke and had to fix something this week. I hope we're good now... | Allan | Sep. 12th at 10:30 PM gmt |
| Steve has a helpful Blog post up! Cinci is a great team! | Allan | Sep. 11th at 10:07 PM gmt |
| Some of us ran out of cash without getting seven five-star recruits over the course of two seasons. | Jason | Sep. 11th at 1:31 PM gmt |
| Applying the pressure Max? All downhill after this season I fear. #ranouttacash | James | Sep. 11th at 12:48 PM gmt |
| I think there is some Blind Side style recruiting in Cinci | Max | Sep. 10th at 5:07 PM gmt |
| If James doesn't go undefeated I will be surprised. | Max | Sep. 10th at 5:06 PM gmt |
| Rob gets me | John | Sep. 9th at 10:14 PM gmt |
| I read John's comment to the tune of "Forgot About Dre" | Rob | Sep. 9th at 2:18 PM gmt |
| Kevin has once again forgotten about Columbus | John | Sep. 8th at 4:32 PM gmt |
| It's now Wednesday in the Uk and I'm not seeing the Vote for Al new feature | Roy | Sep. 5th at 11:07 PM gmt |
| nothing truly exciting in the first auction apart from Gus if you need a MB | Vick | Sep. 3rd at 3:36 PM gmt |
| I don’t think anybody goes to Cinci without being paid to do it. Too close to Cleveland. | Kevin | Sep. 1st at 8:34 PM gmt |
| I am accusing Mr Tucker of paying his players to go to Cincinnati. | Max | Aug. 30th at 11:47 PM gmt |
| Welcome to your new favourite (favorite) game Brian | Roger | Aug. 30th at 3:27 PM gmt |
| Maybe now that I've got nearly 150 hours to do it, I'll actually remember to vote in the Coaches Poll. | Jason | Aug. 30th at 2:12 PM gmt |
| Feel like we should be voting for Burlington - just saying | Aires | Aug. 30th at 3:49 AM gmt |
| Yes Beerman! Lets Go! | Aires | Aug. 30th at 3:40 AM gmt |
| Welcome Brian | Matthew | Aug. 30th at 12:38 AM gmt |
| Welcome to Brian Beerman who takes on the Squirrels in a caretaker role. Please welcome him and help if you see questions he posts. Thanks! | Allan | Aug. 29th at 11:46 PM gmt |
| All good thanks Al | Roger | Aug. 29th at 6:12 AM gmt |
| I made an update Roger, please check again. | Allan | Aug. 28th at 10:13 PM gmt |
| Anyone else not getting their media bonus? | Roger | Aug. 28th at 5:23 PM gmt |
| Not sure any team that has Eeyore as a mascot is going to have high morale 😁 | Roger | Aug. 28th at 7:01 AM gmt |
| With the start of the new season it seems unfair that Pekin, Portland, Dallas, and Columbia are better than our Mules. Don't they want to let the commish win to improve his morale? | Allan | Aug. 27th at 11:24 PM gmt |
| Fine now Al, thanks | Paul | Aug. 20th at 2:49 PM gmt |
| Please try it again Paul. | Allan | Aug. 20th at 1:20 PM gmt |
| XP/Walkon order screen isn't working for me...anyone else or is it just me? | Paul | Aug. 20th at 9:19 AM gmt |
| It's OK if you want to win the loser trophies :-) Not that we could win even those. | Steve | Aug. 18th at 10:57 AM gmt |
| I really like tournament play! | Phil | Aug. 16th at 2:49 AM gmt |
| Did Phil win two more titles? | Allan | Aug. 16th at 12:25 AM gmt |
| The list has been sent. | John | Aug. 13th at 11:32 PM gmt |
| My favorite part of the season is about to happen. I will soon be receiving the email with the walk-on "creative" names from my friend John... | Allan | Aug. 13th at 7:05 PM gmt |
| New Orleans were deservedly top! | Vick | Jul. 31st at 11:59 AM gmt |
| Surprised you weren't top Vick. | James | Jul. 29th at 9:00 AM gmt |
| delighted to be back near the top of the coaches poll! | Vick | Jul. 26th at 10:31 PM gmt |
| Is the site occasionally a bit sluggish for anyone? Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it slows to a crawl | John | Jul. 25th at 10:57 AM gmt |
| Holden the truth | John | Jul. 25th at 10:52 AM gmt |
| Holden your tongue? :-) | Phil | Jul. 24th at 5:19 AM gmt |
| SPOILER | John | Jul. 23rd at 8:51 PM gmt |
| I would comment Phil but I don't want to potentially enter you and John's "spoiler war"... | Allan | Jul. 23rd at 8:21 PM gmt |
| Orders page isn’t working for me either…lost 6 in a row! | Phil | Jul. 23rd at 5:49 AM gmt |
| It's working fine for me Andy. Take a screenshot and send it to Al. He'll be able to look at it - this happens from time to time. | Rob | Jul. 18th at 3:46 PM gmt |
| The orders page isn’t fully loading. Anyone else having issues? | Andy | Jul. 18th at 3:07 PM gmt |
| Eduard, I'm sure my first trophy was the non-conference one as well. | Steve | Jul. 18th at 2:15 PM gmt |
| Starkville's 1st trophy (of not so many to come): The (shared) NON-CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! | Eduard | Jul. 17th at 3:03 PM gmt |
| Running shortly... | Allan | Jul. 16th at 7:37 PM gmt |
| Will be running an hour or so after the deadline today. | Allan | Jul. 16th at 5:23 PM gmt |
| Just want to make sure it's a NET positive idea going forward | John | Jul. 13th at 8:11 PM gmt |
| We will be using Standings (with relevant tiebreakers) again this season. The NET idea may be used next season or a future one, but wanted to evaluate it further and I think I may make a chance if/when we pursue it. | Allan | Jul. 11th at 9:22 PM gmt |
| The question is, am I stuck with getting my clock cleaned in the National Championship? | Jason | Jul. 11th at 8:08 PM gmt |
| Jason needs to decide how badly to sandbag the coming matches… | Kevin | Jul. 11th at 7:01 PM gmt |
| Are National Championship participants being determined by NET this season? Or did we decide against that? | Jason | Jul. 10th at 4:57 PM gmt |
| Only 4 of the teams in the Top 12 ranked for T-7 made it through the 1st round of the Cup. #priorities! | James | Jul. 10th at 8:01 AM gmt |
| Ugh! | Amy | Jul. 9th at 9:31 PM gmt |
| It did! Sorry for not emailing - the complaining wall was faster | John | Jul. 7th at 10:01 PM gmt |
| John - Please see if my update helped. | Allan | Jul. 6th at 8:37 PM gmt |
| My orders page is getting cut off early again. | John | Jul. 6th at 8:13 AM gmt |
| Why do I care? I've just spotted the links in the game previews. Lulz | Steve | Jul. 5th at 9:27 PM gmt |
| Roger: Please email me some details/examples and I'll take a look. Thanks. | Allan | Jul. 5th at 8:52 PM gmt |
| Al, is it possible to introduce the option to filter by Conference on the stats page? | Roger | Jul. 5th at 6:08 AM gmt |
| Understood, Roy. My #4 OH has only played 4 games so could need some more games. | Steve | Jul. 5th at 5:34 AM gmt |
| If the issue was trying to pick the #1 and #2 OHs to face Nashville. I'm happy to take on the #3 and #4 OHs | Roy | Jul. 4th at 2:04 PM gmt |
| Working, thanks Al. | Steve | Jul. 4th at 6:44 AM gmt |
| Steve: Well, the ability to make longer comment wall post works in TMVL. Thanks for all the details. This is the same caching issue I've had a lot of past issues with but fewer and fewer (since). I still add 2 lines of code on pages when this issue pops up and it usually addresses it. It took adding those 2 lines in 2 different parts of the file to make it work. It should work for you across the main orders form and the 2 backups now. Please confirm. | Allan | Jul. 3rd at 9:39 PM gmt |
| Tried on Jacob's Samsung tablet and get exactly the same. Have installed Firefox on phone - still the same. | Steve | Jul. 3rd at 5:23 PM gmt |
| Still yhe same, Al. On the normal orders page it stalls at the final setter letting me put his position for Nashville but not the second game. For A and B it gets further but stalls after showing Huber's ATK. I doubt it has anything to do with this but on the team page Huber is shown as 3rd best OH but on the orders page he's 2nd best. He has a rating of 80.50 whereas the 2nd best is 81.25 (both showing as 81) | Steve | Jul. 3rd at 12:26 AM gmt |
| I made a minor change. How is the main orders page looking now Steve? | Allan | Jul. 2nd at 9:47 PM gmt |
| No panic yet but the orders page isn't loading for me and neither are Options A nor B. Getting stuck around OH. | Steve | Jul. 2nd at 8:51 PM gmt |
| Bring your kiddies, bring your wife - guaranteed to have the time of your life | John | Jun. 26th at 2:19 PM gmt |
| Despite the "Mets" comment I want to say that Roy is "on fire" with some great match comments this week. The extremely subtle taunting of CB after his (spoiler) win over St. Charles was a tour-de-force! | Allan | Jun. 26th at 12:23 AM gmt |
| Let's go Mets! | Roy | Jun. 25th at 7:07 PM gmt |
| Christer: Did Mets fan Rob pay you to say that? 😎 Now that it reminds me these are Rob's colors look for changes soon... | Allan | Jun. 25th at 5:52 PM gmt |
| Is Al a Mets-fan? The colours in the preview looks much like Mets colours. | Christer | Jun. 25th at 5:16 PM gmt |
| Hi Pierre. The recruiting players are processed in order. So who signs #4 is determined before signing #5. Your scenario would not be possible due to the way we process players in order. | Allan | Jun. 25th at 1:46 PM gmt |
| At the recruiting page, is it possible to check the boxes so that I first bid on the player on the 5th line and after that on the player on the 4th line. Don´t know yet if that´s gonna be the plan, but I´m curious if this is even possible. | Pierre | Jun. 25th at 7:08 AM gmt |
| I never know what state, country, continent John is in... | Allan | Jun. 24th at 12:12 AM gmt |
| I'll Troy to pretend you're from downstate | John | Jun. 23rd at 3:30 PM gmt |
| More or less. We grew up in the suburbs of Albany. | Jason | Jun. 23rd at 11:44 AM gmt |
| Update: I am now very far away from Schenectady. Jason, are you an Albanian by trade? | John | Jun. 22nd at 10:44 PM gmt |
| John, if you're still in Schenectady, you're about 30 minutes from where Mike and I grew up. | Jason | Jun. 21st at 3:19 PM gmt |
| John takes scouting the upcoming matches very seriously. | Kevin | Jun. 19th at 3:15 PM gmt |
| I am literally in Schenectady right now. | John | Jun. 19th at 2:42 PM gmt |
| Great stat from John. | Allan | Jun. 13th at 10:48 PM gmt |
| 21 out of 24 teams finished 2-1 or better in the WGM Cup. Ames finished 2-1 and still have the dreaded #21 seed. | John | Jun. 13th at 12:39 AM gmt |
| If your team has had coaching changes, you will now see that if you go to the TEAM page and click the HISTORY tab. | Allan | Jun. 11th at 11:03 PM gmt |
| Only 71 hours left on the 5 RP you get on the coaches poll... | John | Jun. 4th at 6:36 PM gmt |
| The coaches poll would have to be open longer to catch my vote. Like, the polls close 10 minutes prior to post. | Phil | Jun. 3rd at 6:56 PM gmt |
| The coaches poll is spicy, don't forget to add some spice this week | John | May. 31st at 2:22 PM gmt |
| Meh | John | May. 31st at 9:23 AM gmt |
| You made it after deadline while I had downloaded and was processing matches John. But it looks like you made 3 posts instead of 1 and came out 10 RP richer. | Allan | May. 29th at 11:00 PM gmt |
| It's a mystery | John | May. 29th at 10:21 PM gmt |
| Never mind. My post never existed apparently | John | May. 29th at 10:21 PM gmt |
| I think I made a post after the session and ain't got no recruiting points for it. Not an issue, just a flag | John | May. 29th at 10:21 PM gmt |
| Happy to have Max home now and looking forward to the improvements he plans to make to TMVL over his summer break. | Amy | May. 29th at 4:04 PM gmt |
| Al, I had nothing to say :-) For some reason my phone has a mind of its own and annoys my wife and daughter with constant pocket phone calls. | Steve | May. 29th at 2:07 PM gmt |
| Thinking about making the game more defensive for next season but same sim for this season just to let y'all know. | Max | May. 29th at 2:23 AM gmt |
| Rob: Please email some examples and more details on your idea. Steve: I'm dying to know what your silent post was about! 😎 | Allan | May. 29th at 12:58 AM gmt |
| Steve | May. 28th at 8:02 PM gmt | |
| I had another idea... would it be worthwhile to have a player comparison page - like somewhere like a player search where you can see how one team's freshman/sophomore/etc class compares to the rest of the league's. Or being able to compare the OHs from say Quincy to Baton Rouge. | Rob | May. 28th at 5:55 PM gmt |
| I can try my hand at that Al! I'll email you during the week! | Rob | May. 28th at 5:11 PM gmt |
| Well Rob, we all kind of got together and assigned that task to you. 😎 | Allan | May. 28th at 10:13 AM gmt |
| I forget... do we have a writeup somewhere that I can see how bad my recruits rolled? | Rob | May. 28th at 3:01 AM gmt |
| Thank you Steve. I am adding that to a JIRA (to do task) for consideration at end of season. If anyone else has "theme" ideas (movies/tv shows/etc) for future player names post here or email please. Thanks. | Allan | May. 27th at 10:10 PM gmt |
| For recruit names, seeing as you have some Star Trek, how about Stargate SG-1? | Steve | May. 27th at 8:33 PM gmt |
| Aires, everybody's ELO gets regressed towards the mean at the beginning of each season so that's why your ELO dropped if that's what different from what you were expecting. | Bryce | May. 25th at 6:19 PM gmt |
| Thanks Vick, I was a little surprised to get any points never mind a top spot. | Roger | May. 24th at 6:03 PM gmt |
| Time to vote in the coaches poll is nearly up and it´s interesting to see that the coach currently in top spot has no top votes which seem to be evenly spread elsewhere! I went Leftfield with my own top ten vote given no games have been played yet. Plumped for the canny manager with most RP´s at the start of the season. Control of the auction process can´t be a bad strategy! | Vick | May. 24th at 5:07 PM gmt |
| Is the Big East the toughest conference? | Aires | May. 24th at 11:58 AM gmt |
| I feel like my ELO should be higher lol | Aires | May. 24th at 11:55 AM gmt |
| Never mind I just realised it was already there. Sorry | Matthew | May. 24th at 12:11 AM gmt |
| Don't know if it is able to be done, but I was wondering about somehow getting notification of a comment made on the games comment section. Saves going through every game seeing if there are any comments. Make sense? | Matthew | May. 24th at 12:10 AM gmt |
| I've added it to my list for next Season Matt. | Allan | May. 21st at 11:34 PM gmt |
| Al, how about The Ghost and the Darkness. One of my favourite movies. I think a player with the last name of Darkness would be awesome | Matthew | May. 21st at 10:33 PM gmt |
| No, but I do have a name generator | John | May. 20th at 10:37 PM gmt |
| Anybody got a quirky movie or two or three in mind for me to create some player names from for some recruits? | Allan | May. 20th at 10:23 PM gmt |
| Me first Craig! | Rob | May. 13th at 8:57 PM gmt |
| I expect to win somethign next season Al, please bear this in mind | Craig | May. 13th at 12:05 PM gmt |
| +1 Paul | Roger | May. 9th at 6:43 AM gmt |
| Thanks for another impeccably run season, Al | Paul | May. 8th at 3:59 PM gmt |
| I second John's idea thanks | Matthew | May. 6th at 5:11 AM gmt |
| It would be fun to see the recruiting rankings grouped by conference. | John | May. 1st at 5:36 PM gmt |
| I have had an up and down season. Was happy with getting my first 5 star, and for a little while I was doing well in my conference. Hope to improve on this next year! It's been fun! | Amy | Apr. 30th at 8:01 PM gmt |
| Ogie may be going to the Pac-8 but Duff Monstergravy is likely to walk on in Sheboygan | John | Apr. 26th at 9:07 PM gmt |
| Looks like Ogie is going to the PAC-8 John... | Allan | Apr. 25th at 11:24 PM gmt |
| Just like Ogie tested the legal systems of two different countries and the fighting systems of three different brothers. | John | Apr. 21st at 11:48 PM gmt |
| Thanks John. Also, John really testing the Comment Wall character limit on that post. 😎 | Allan | Apr. 16th at 2:57 PM gmt |
| Oh this young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, well, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle... | John | Apr. 15th at 11:02 PM gmt |
| I see you’ve been watching SlapShot Al…..nice | Mike | Apr. 14th at 9:54 PM gmt |
| It was an issue on my end Paul. The one I can't seem to fix fully. Thanks for pointing it out. | Allan | Apr. 13th at 9:40 PM gmt |
| Ah, working again now... | Paul | Apr. 13th at 3:03 PM gmt |
| The recruiting page isn't loading....or is it just me? | Paul | Apr. 13th at 11:31 AM gmt |
| Please drop me a quick email with your ideas John to make sure I follow. | Allan | Apr. 10th at 8:19 PM gmt |
| Another "dang it John, not again": It'd be fun if the coaches poll included records and defaulted to the previous rankings. | John | Apr. 10th at 11:26 AM gmt |
| It was actually Baton Rouge who had never beaten me until today. | Steve | Apr. 9th at 9:00 PM gmt |
| Big issue , massive error , we play Baton Rouge twice this session please fix this injustice !! | James | Apr. 9th at 8:50 PM gmt |
| It was probably Antioch... | Rob | Apr. 7th at 9:58 PM gmt |
| That's well spotted Roger! 😎 | Allan | Apr. 7th at 9:17 PM gmt |
| I presume the missing words at the end of Steve’s entry are “…everybody else” | Roger | Apr. 7th at 6:56 PM gmt |
| Thanks Steve! | Bryce | Apr. 7th at 4:01 PM gmt |
| So I can see that since season 2 (when I joined) we are 3-0 vs Mat-su, 0-1 vs Tuscon, 7-7 vs New Orleans and 9-0 vs | Steve | Apr. 6th at 9:29 PM gmt |
| Yes, Bryce. On your team page click on Schedule (just above your team logo), then on All Seasons. Wait a little. Then click on the column that says Opponents. Matches are sorted alphabetically by team, then neutral, away, home then season. | Steve | Apr. 6th at 9:25 PM gmt |
| Is there a way to view our historical performance against a team we are about to play? Always looking to increase the available banter material. | Bryce | Apr. 6th at 8:58 PM gmt |
| Maybe we should just have a section called Who Killed Kevin? | Roy | Apr. 1st at 8:08 AM gmt |
| Like Matthew needs another venue to mock us after yet another "upset" | Kevin | Mar. 31st at 10:33 PM gmt |
| always nice to have a bit of banter | Vick | Mar. 31st at 5:07 PM gmt |
| Matthew: I added a task for this to my list of ideas to implement at some point. Thanks. | Allan | Mar. 30th at 11:00 PM gmt |
| Ever thought about having a comment section for each conference, might be good for a bit of banter among the teams. | Matthew | Mar. 30th at 9:22 PM gmt |
| Forgot to vote this week, that's why the rankings are so askew | John | Mar. 30th at 7:52 PM gmt |
| Voting in with minutes to spare | Roy | Mar. 28th at 8:58 PM gmt |
| Phil is doing some great work this week. Especially on his snarky recruiting comments. Love it! | Allan | Mar. 26th at 3:08 PM gmt |
| Roy lays the “ I would have voted for you…. BUT….” card. | Phil | Mar. 25th at 5:44 PM gmt |
| When the images are smaller I have a hard time identifying Sombrero Vick from Sombrero Roy and Sombrero James... 😎 | Allan | Mar. 24th at 9:25 PM gmt |
| Tuesdays at 2100 GMT. A countdown on time left appears in a purple band at the top of the page once matches are run and until the deadline is reached. | Allan | Mar. 22nd at 1:45 PM gmt |
| When does the Coaches poll usually close? For some reason I thought it was Wednesday. Was going to vote Denali #1 unfortunately that means Nashville pip them to 6th place | Roy | Mar. 22nd at 12:58 AM gmt |
| Added the season number at the top of each page so I can remember what season we are in. | Allan | Mar. 21st at 11:04 PM gmt |
| Allan with the coding win! Thank you! | John | Mar. 19th at 11:06 PM gmt |
| I have coded to always show the Coaches Poll Voting section each week (above the rankings) prior to the conclusion of that vote. The Rankings tabs below will not 'randomly' land on coaches rankings (until coaches voting deadline passes). | Allan | Mar. 19th at 10:58 PM gmt |
| This is excellent news | John | Mar. 19th at 9:18 PM gmt |
| I will try to update that for you my friend. | Allan | Mar. 18th at 10:51 PM gmt |
| Annoying feedback time! If voting is open in the coaches' poll, that should always appear above the tabs as an option I'm gonna start forgetting | John | Mar. 13th at 1:23 AM gmt |
| It's fixed, thank you, Al! | Mike | Mar. 12th at 5:48 PM gmt |
| Thanks for the emails. I did a quick reboot of the site. Please see if that helps. Also, I have a couple of other things I need to get to this afternoon. I will be running games today, just a bit later. | Allan | Mar. 12th at 5:25 PM gmt |
| If you log out you can see the pages so can watch all the games you want withiut spoilers.. However you won't be able to comment until you log back in. But then you can click on teams then to the reports. | Steve | Mar. 12th at 5:15 PM gmt |
| Please email me and tell me what page you are on to start, what link you are clicking on, and a screenshot. I don't see any issue on Firefox now so I need more details to investigate. | Allan | Mar. 12th at 3:04 PM gmt |
| This is critical, as it is how I make all my snarky comments. | Mike | Mar. 12th at 12:34 PM gmt |
| Conform that clicking on the match number does not display matches below. | Mike | Mar. 12th at 12:34 PM gmt |
| That's on my phone. | Matthew | Mar. 12th at 8:59 AM gmt |
| Al, last week it was the recruiting pages and now it's the scores pages. Can't see anything. Thanks | Matthew | Mar. 12th at 8:59 AM gmt |
| Who messed with my hat? | Phil | Mar. 11th at 7:18 PM gmt |
| That's not fatigue, Pierre...that's OLMEC. | Phil | Mar. 11th at 7:17 PM gmt |
| Pierre, simple answer is no. However there is a fitness modifier but this is fixed for each game. | James | Mar. 11th at 11:12 AM gmt |
| Is there something like fatique in this game? In the game against Derek it was close at the start, but Derek were getting better and better in the last sets. Or my team were getting worse and worse. | Pierre | Mar. 10th at 1:55 PM gmt |
How about all the losses we shouldn't have? 😁 | Matthew | Mar. 4th at 10:49 PM gmt |
The bandaid I have to "fix" caching issues like Pierre's helped. Please email me if you see a page not loading fully. Do not email me that a page did not load all the wins you THINK you SHOULD have... | Allan | Mar. 4th at 3:18 PM gmt |
Problem sort of solved. On my laptop the recruiting page is correct. | Pierre | Mar. 2nd at 8:23 PM gmt |
| Allan, I still have a problem with the recruiting page. It’s an empty page for me. Don’t know if someone else has the problem, I only have tried it on my phone. | Pierre | Mar. 2nd at 7:55 PM gmt |
| Allan, I still have a problem with the recruiting page. It’s an empty page for me. Don’t know if someone else has the problem, I only have tried it on my phone. | Pierre | Mar. 2nd at 4:33 PM gmt |
I used a band-aid to resolve it Bryce and Roger, thanks for reporting. Also it spurred me to create a new Forum post... | Allan | Mar. 1st at 11:19 PM gmt |
Yep, me too | Roger | Mar. 1st at 8:03 PM gmt |
Anybody else having issues viewing their recruiting dashboard? | Bryce | Mar. 1st at 7:37 PM gmt |
Is the PAC-8 tired yet of Vick placing 5 Shrimps on the 7-man PAC-8 team of the week? | Allan | Feb. 27th at 1:12 AM gmt |
Would it be possible to have the player rating on the player detail page for each game, please? | Steve | Feb. 26th at 9:30 PM gmt |
our C- MB Jake dyer tops the blocking charts. It's performances like this that have given us such a good start to the season! | Vick | Feb. 26th at 8:30 PM gmt |
It is a new front page addition that I'm still developing. When its ready it will replace the current front page. It is at index2.php rather than index.php | Allan | Feb. 26th at 5:32 PM gmt |
Maybe I missed it... but where does one actually find the TOTW? | Rob | Feb. 26th at 4:15 PM gmt |
Please see Match Ratings FORUM thread (go to the bottom for my post) and review/comment. Thanks! | Allan | Feb. 24th at 12:08 AM gmt |
Let's see if Matt's strategy works. 😎 See the Match Ratings Forum post this week for updates on the work in progress team of the week feature... | Allan | Feb. 22nd at 11:28 PM gmt |
See how the Panther is at the front on the recruiting in front of all the others? That means those recruits are mine, Don't bother bidding. Thanks 😀😇 | Matthew | Feb. 22nd at 11:19 PM gmt |
I need some ideas on the "Match Ratings" forum post. See my questions at bottom of thread. | Allan | Feb. 21st at 10:30 PM gmt |
Just commenting commentary on the comment wall. No commentl | John | Feb. 21st at 10:29 PM gmt |
Big weekend! 3-0 | Aires | Feb. 20th at 9:31 PM gmt |
Need a good recruiting season, unlike last year. | Amy | Feb. 19th at 8:34 PM gmt |
Yall better watch out for those trrash pandas they are here to bite this year! | Max | Feb. 19th at 5:48 PM gmt |
Yayyyyyyyyy! Kelsey's in TMVL LETS GOOOOOOOOO! | Max | Feb. 19th at 5:48 PM gmt |
Thank you for all of the warm introductions and I can't wait to be a part of this season of TMVL! | Kelsey | Feb. 19th at 5:42 PM gmt |
Sad that Micki isn't here any more. I will miss her roasts of her dad. Happy that Kelsey has joined so we didn't lose our "Girl Power!" | Amy | Feb. 19th at 3:54 AM gmt |
The only recruit I have that can reach an A rating is the only 5* I managed to recruit, MB Peyton Reid. Woah is me... WOAH I say! | Rob | Feb. 19th at 2:42 AM gmt |
An A- he says! I have a 4* OH that is starting as an F+, and can only reach a B rating. | Rob | Feb. 19th at 2:40 AM gmt |
This is that thread, but you need to get in line behind the poor Mules...our best 5-star is an A-... | Allan | Feb. 19th at 2:02 AM gmt |
Where's the thread where I get to complain about my new recruits?! Only one potential A Freshman?! | Rob | Feb. 19th at 1:57 AM gmt |
Kelsey - hope you enjoy life in TMVL. Take out theose nasty Chameleons in your first home game. Trample that infamous hat! | Vick | Feb. 15th at 11:12 PM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey! | Paul | Feb. 14th at 12:21 PM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey! | Pierre | Feb. 14th at 9:27 AM gmt |
Welcome and good luck Kelsey | Roger | Feb. 14th at 8:21 AM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey!
| John | Feb. 13th at 11:07 PM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey! | Mike | Feb. 13th at 10:39 PM gmt |
Ty for getting this up and running
| Aires | Feb. 13th at 10:12 PM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey! | Aires | Feb. 13th at 9:59 PM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey! | Matthew | Feb. 13th at 7:35 PM gmt |
Welcome Kelsey! | Jason | Feb. 13th at 5:25 PM gmt |
Welcome to Kelsey! She is taking the reigns at Albuquerque. | Allan | Feb. 13th at 4:42 PM gmt |
Enjoy the season everyone 😀 | Matthew | Feb. 13th at 4:59 AM gmt |
A reminder the pre-sesason coaches poll is available for you to vote in | John | Feb. 13th at 12:23 AM gmt |
That's the feedback I need, thanks Roger. I've manually updated the CP to be the proper amount (back to end of session 12 last season). | Allan | Feb. 12th at 10:38 PM gmt |
Have we always started the season with everyone on 70 CPs? | Roger | Feb. 12th at 10:01 PM gmt |
Hope everyone had fun this season! I surprised myself in a good way this year, but based on meh recruiting next year could be worse. | Amy | Feb. 11th at 4:57 PM gmt |
Would it be possible for Steve to set up all of our teams for the next season to even the playing field a bit | John | Feb. 11th at 4:52 PM gmt |
Thanks for a great season 7, Al, bring on season 8! | Paul | Feb. 11th at 9:18 AM gmt |
That was why I did the one hour warning Steve. I knew you'd still want to tinker! 😎 | Allan | Feb. 5th at 9:58 PM gmt |
The games ran early? But I was going to change mine to get an easier non-confeence next season. Kidding! | Steve | Feb. 5th at 9:55 PM gmt |
Should be better now. I guess I'll now deal with the Mike Halpin "triple blog" bonus (sigh). 😎 | Allan | Feb. 5th at 8:43 PM gmt |
This is what I get for running the matches before the deadline for you guys. 😎 | Allan | Feb. 5th at 8:41 PM gmt |
Nicely done Rob, an extra 5RP right there | Roger | Feb. 5th at 7:23 PM gmt |
I'm with Jason. I should be up to like 25RP by now. (just sayin' lol) | Rob | Feb. 5th at 7:20 PM gmt |
Is there a media bonus in Session 13? The counter seems not to be working. | Jason | Feb. 5th at 7:01 PM gmt |
Amateur tip: Make sure you click submit XPs when you're done with your XPs, THEN add your walk-ons. | John | Feb. 5th at 6:25 PM gmt |
Bienvenidos Pierre | John | Jan. 30th at 11:27 PM gmt |
Welcome Pierre! | Rob | Jan. 27th at 8:41 PM gmt |
Welcome Pierre! | Paul | Jan. 27th at 2:43 PM gmt |
And yes, Steve, I've played SESL a while ago. | Pierre | Jan. 26th at 9:23 PM gmt |
Thanks for a warm welcome. It´s a new game for me, so many things are unknown atm, but I am a quick learner :).
| Pierre | Jan. 26th at 7:46 PM gmt |
Welcome Pierre! | Jason | Jan. 25th at 10:19 PM gmt |
Welcome Pierre. I'm sure I recognise your name as an ex SESL manager but I don't think we've crossed paths. +2 on Matt's comments and lots of helpful advice to those that ask. | Steve | Jan. 25th at 10:48 AM gmt |
Welcome Pierre! | Roger | Jan. 25th at 8:33 AM gmt |
Welcome Pierre hope you have a just a good a time as I have here. Everyone is really helpful and friendly even 😬 | Matthew | Jan. 25th at 3:06 AM gmt |
Welcome to Pierre van Rossum who takes on the Mendon Mushrooms coaching role! | Allan | Jan. 25th at 1:00 AM gmt |
Nor this one | Paul | Jan. 23rd at 4:50 PM gmt |
Nope | Phil | Jan. 21st at 2:43 PM gmt |
Nobody has anything to say this week | John | Jan. 20th at 10:13 PM gmt |
My Canadian grade school science teacher wore a sweater vest as a top during cold weather. That was a memory I thought I had completely forgotten. | John | Jan. 14th at 1:51 PM gmt |
chanted* | Bryce | Jan. 10th at 8:24 PM gmt |
The student section here at UW is right behind the benches. We used to just be obnoxious during timeouts to the opposing team. My favorite was when we chatted "Your coach wears a sweater vest." and their own players laughed. | Bryce | Jan. 10th at 8:24 PM gmt |
Ha! I'm sure that will come up when we get to discussing "tactics". I saw a match last season where the home team had basically two drunk "fans" college students following the team around and yelling at the opposing players all match. | Allan | Jan. 8th at 5:11 PM gmt |
Uh Al how do you add hardness in this league | John | Jan. 8th at 5:11 AM gmt |
Another session where I'm up against multiple Sellers. Time for the 10 hardness! | John | Jan. 8th at 5:10 AM gmt |
OK thanks Al | Roy | Jan. 7th at 10:28 PM gmt |
In addition to conf tourney title and WGM, it is based on overall record. See Standings link then Overall for the order of consideration for teams. | Allan | Jan. 7th at 10:15 PM gmt |
Can anyone tell me why Nashville didn'y qualify for the Sweet 16? (finished 5th in the Non-Conference table) | Roy | Jan. 7th at 10:11 PM gmt |
Bog Off Bognor is what we have to say to fellow aquatic manager Peterson. You don´t want us shrimps snipping out your lights | Vick | Jan. 7th at 10:52 AM gmt |
| Vick | Jan. 7th at 10:49 AM gmt | |
El muro de comentarios es fantástico pero vamos a perderlo pronto | John | Jan. 7th at 3:15 AM gmt |
Oh, so this is the comment wall? What a great idea :) | Craig | Jan. 6th at 11:16 AM gmt |
Wishing the best to the comment wall as it rides into the sunset | John | Jan. 1st at 12:24 AM gmt |
Or in any sentence to do with this league, really | John | Dec. 29th at 3:59 AM gmt |
You are right Kevin. John is the best. 😎 | Allan | Dec. 28th at 11:39 PM gmt |
That might be the first time someone used "solemn" and "dignified" in the same sentence related to anything in this league. | Kevin | Dec. 28th at 1:52 PM gmt |
May everyone have a solemn, dignified boxing day | John | Dec. 26th at 8:16 PM gmt |
I don't need to see the numbers: I just go all in bwahahahahahaha | Steve | Dec. 22nd at 10:43 AM gmt |
Thank you Christer! 😎 | Allan | Dec. 21st at 9:43 PM gmt |
I like that Steve dont see the numbers. Well done Al!😃 | Christer | Dec. 21st at 5:56 PM gmt |
😎 TMVL - The mobile phone unfriendly league... 😎 | Allan | Dec. 20th at 11:35 PM gmt |
I've tried hovering my thumb over the teams but get nothing 😇 | Steve | Dec. 20th at 10:54 PM gmt |
Great job Al, will save me a lot of clicking and just what I had in mind. | James | Dec. 20th at 3:43 PM gmt |
Shady recruitment? I'm not sure what you mean Kevin | Matthew | Dec. 20th at 8:31 AM gmt |
New feature added (thanks JT for the idea). Click recruiting. Go to any logo in step 1-3 and hover. You should see current RPs. | Allan | Dec. 19th at 9:59 PM gmt |
Any truth to an investigation into Kentucky's "shady" recruiting steal of L Mercado leading to temporary recruiting suspension? | Kevin | Dec. 19th at 7:19 PM gmt |
| Working now, thanks Allan | Matthew | Dec. 16th at 1:42 AM gmt |
If you are still getting it Matt, email me a screenshot and browser info. | Allan | Dec. 15th at 2:36 PM gmt |
| I'm getting a blank screen when going to the recruiting page. | Matthew | Dec. 15th at 1:18 AM gmt |
Great video, thanks Bryce! | Allan | Dec. 12th at 1:23 AM gmt |
I was stuck at 25 but hadn't logged in all week, now I've made two comments and it was at 35. Odd | John | Dec. 11th at 9:47 PM gmt |
Media bonus is set deadline to deadline, so whatever you add after a deadline will be used for the next session... | Allan | Dec. 11th at 1:54 PM gmt |
The media bonus isn't going up :/ | John | Dec. 10th at 9:31 PM gmt |
Thanks for the update Amy! | John | Dec. 10th at 9:30 PM gmt |
We are driving back from seeing Max at college. Matches will be run either later tonight or Sunday morning. | Amy | Dec. 10th at 9:04 PM gmt |
Great clip. Maybe we need another skill. Commitment. | James | Dec. 10th at 2:01 PM gmt |
Saw this highlight and immediately thought of you all here: https://youtu.be/jnv7bv3NtKM | Bryce | Dec. 9th at 9:56 PM gmt |
What's up with me? I've only just started my first tinkering of the session. | Steve | Dec. 9th at 12:40 PM gmt |
The bracket would be a lot better if we had won some games | John | Dec. 8th at 11:15 PM gmt |
The bracket is great - other than if I should beat Amy, then I am likely to play Al - and away from home. | James | Dec. 8th at 11:26 AM gmt |
I like the bracket
| Aires | Dec. 8th at 6:46 AM gmt |
Also, now that Paul has advertised he uses a spreadsheet, frankly, I'm a little concerned about our next matchup with the Jacks. You should be too... | Allan | Dec. 8th at 12:46 AM gmt |
Does Paul Cockayne have Portland flying under the radar? 5 wins already this season. They won 9 in season 5 and 7 in season 6. | Allan | Dec. 6th at 12:33 AM gmt |
and my tinkering nearly got me into trouble when i tried to win all three and nearly lost them all!
| Vick | Dec. 5th at 3:29 PM gmt |
yes it´s always tempting to tinker | Vick | Dec. 4th at 9:31 AM gmt |
I'll try not tinker with my orders before high noon Central USA time then 😃 | Mark | Dec. 4th at 8:33 AM gmt |
Session 3 to be run around noon USA Central (about 6pm UK time) on Sunday... | Allan | Dec. 4th at 2:02 AM gmt |
No our bat transponder is on and we're cleared at 18,000 feet | John | Nov. 23rd at 1:08 AM gmt |
Is John Holden flying under the radar? | Allan | Nov. 22nd at 11:19 PM gmt |
Emoji issue seems sorted Al 😄 | Roger | Nov. 20th at 1:04 AM gmt |
Feeling good this year | Max | Nov. 19th at 10:25 PM gmt |
This should be an exciting season! | Micki | Nov. 19th at 6:07 AM gmt |
| Hi Al. Just downloading slow at my end. | Andy | Nov. 16th at 10:05 PM gmt |
It looks okay on my end now Andy. Can you take another look? Email me a screenshot if still an issue. | Allan | Nov. 16th at 5:11 PM gmt |
Recruiting page not showing. Possible issue? | Andy | Nov. 16th at 2:49 PM gmt |
excited start to this season | Aires | Nov. 16th at 3:27 AM gmt |
? ? ? | John | Nov. 14th at 4:23 AM gmt |
Apparently your phone is correctly oriented Matt. 😎 😎 | Allan | Nov. 13th at 12:57 PM gmt |
Roger- email me the details so I can debug. | Allan | Nov. 13th at 12:56 PM gmt |
Hi Al, the emoji I used on our match seems to have reverted to a ? | Roger | Nov. 13th at 8:57 AM gmt |
Jason - email me the details and I will look. | Allan | Nov. 13th at 3:35 AM gmt |
I had to make sure my phone wasn't upside down after that 1st round. | Matthew | Nov. 13th at 2:25 AM gmt |
Are we supposed to get RP for our rankings comments? Because I didn't get any just now. | Jason | Nov. 13th at 1:17 AM gmt |
what do you call the terrorist shrimp Amir Tran? A bomb in-acean. I guess that is why he is sat on the bench for now. | Vick | Nov. 13th at 12:42 AM gmt |
I had to make sure my phone wasn't upside down after that 1st round. | Matthew | Nov. 13th at 12:37 AM gmt |
I had to make sure my phone wasn't upside down after that 1st round. | Matthew | Nov. 13th at 12:23 AM gmt |
I had to make sure my phone wasn't upside down after that 1st round. | Matthew | Nov. 12th at 11:03 PM gmt |
Results in about 75 minutes. Busy day around the house today... | Allan | Nov. 12th at 9:13 PM gmt |
Never been a problem for me. My 3 games, trashing Quincy 3 times just leaves 2 more. Also planning on a series of "things you might not know" over the season. | Steve | Nov. 12th at 8:12 PM gmt |
the first week is tough with only 1 set of games and nothing else to really comment on | James | Nov. 12th at 7:11 PM gmt |
How low will people go to secure the full 40 RP each week ? | James | Nov. 12th at 7:10 PM gmt |
Getting your media bonus from a horrible pun is something I greatly approve of and heartily endorse. | Jason | Nov. 12th at 6:36 PM gmt |
Sadly recent studies in New Scientist have shown that several species of Shrimp have randomly died out whilst migrating to other oceans. I guess they were accident prawn. | Vick | Nov. 12th at 10:01 AM gmt |
Thanks Steve! | John | Nov. 11th at 9:00 AM gmt |
For now the best you can do is look at your schedule and select all seasons, John. Then click on the opponents tab. | Steve | Nov. 8th at 10:45 AM gmt |
Are there team by team records anywhere like in MSWL? | John | Nov. 8th at 12:04 AM gmt |
Team page schedule tab update - competition names are accurate now. | Allan | Nov. 7th at 7:30 PM gmt |
ELO for previews should now be resolved. Please take a look and verify. | Allan | Nov. 7th at 4:36 PM gmt |
I have another thing to look at on ELO. I'll do that later. Will impact prediction % numbers. | Allan | Nov. 6th at 7:54 PM gmt |
Thank you John, Matt, James, and Roger! | Allan | Nov. 6th at 5:49 PM gmt |
Great to be back Al - although looking at my squad I'm not sure I can honestly say I'm looking forward to it... | Roger | Nov. 5th at 5:20 PM gmt |
Great job Al. Season 7 here we come. | James | Nov. 5th at 12:22 PM gmt |
| Thanks for your help Al, lookng forward to the season | Matthew | Nov. 5th at 4:48 AM gmt |
Thanks for getting everything turned around on the next season so quickly, Al | John | Nov. 5th at 4:21 AM gmt |
Grading "curve" has been adjusted for next season. See forum post for more. | Allan | Nov. 3rd at 11:46 PM gmt |
Actually make that 6. Some teams get multiples walk ons. | Allan | Nov. 1st at 11:25 PM gmt |
If things stay as-is (and they should) just 9 teams will PAY for walk ons this season. | Allan | Nov. 1st at 11:24 PM gmt |
Working on updating end of season code now. Hoping to have new season fully ready on November 5th with first deadline on November 12th. | Allan | Oct. 26th at 11:52 PM gmt |
Any news on when the new season might start? | Paul | Oct. 25th at 6:25 PM gmt |
Oh, okay, TRASH PANDA! Hahahaha | Phil | Oct. 22nd at 7:04 PM gmt |
You said that already | Phil | Oct. 22nd at 7:03 PM gmt |
The only thing chameleons do well is hide and cower in the background! | Micki | Oct. 22nd at 7:03 PM gmt |
Yeah, but not the best hat | Micki | Oct. 22nd at 7:01 PM gmt |
And, I say again...WHY are the wolves so angry? | Phil | Oct. 22nd at 7:01 PM gmt |
Yeah, but not the best hat | Micki | Oct. 22nd at 7:01 PM gmt |
...and I have the hat to prove it! | Phil | Oct. 22nd at 7:00 PM gmt |
I'm the trash talkingest Chameleon in these parts...
| Phil | Oct. 22nd at 7:00 PM gmt |
I am Chameleon...hear me ROAR! | Phil | Oct. 22nd at 6:44 PM gmt |
Oh, that's right. How terrible to have a mascot that doesn't make any noise!!! | Phil | Oct. 22nd at 6:44 PM gmt |
Where my Raccoon banter at? C-mon Micki! Let's hear it from the Rac Pack!
| Phil | Oct. 22nd at 6:44 PM gmt |
great season. Not sure how we will fair in the next one but 8 is one of our lucky numbers! | Vick | Oct. 22nd at 4:34 PM gmt |
Thanks Al and Max for a great season! Bring on No. 7 | James | Oct. 22nd at 2:11 PM gmt |
Thanks for an inpeccably run season, Al. Looking forward to the next one.... | Paul | Oct. 21st at 6:54 PM gmt |
Thanks Al for everything | Aires | Oct. 20th at 7:30 AM gmt |
Burlington had a good run! Looking to come back stronger next season
| Aires | Oct. 20th at 7:29 AM gmt |
Thanks Al for great organising on another great season. | Andy | Oct. 16th at 6:34 PM gmt |
Sheboygan's new walk on names have been sent to the commissioner | John | Oct. 16th at 5:22 AM gmt |
Results up! | Allan | Oct. 16th at 12:23 AM gmt |
Sorry for the delay...will be running shortly... | Allan | Oct. 15th at 11:45 PM gmt |
Get them orders in Philip | Steve | Oct. 15th at 9:56 PM gmt |
Lifesaver Al! | Phil | Oct. 15th at 9:36 PM gmt |
Slight delay today...chatting with our son for a little while... | Allan | Oct. 15th at 9:07 PM gmt |
Sell him to the Non-League. | Jason | Oct. 12th at 3:12 PM gmt |
Sheboygan MB Tank Armslurry is upset about his lack of playing time and has requested a transfer | John | Oct. 12th at 5:09 AM gmt |
Portland's season so far..1W, 12L, 3W, 11K, 2W...whAat next, 10L?
| Paul | Oct. 10th at 5:37 PM gmt |
From your lips to Olmec's ears, Roger. | Jason | Oct. 3rd at 4:46 PM gmt |
Pekin's last 15 games have been 5W, 5L, 5W. And with 5 games left, I think I've a great chance of completing the cycle with another 5L on the bounce | Roger | Oct. 3rd at 8:20 AM gmt |
John: Please create a forum thread for discussion on your idea. Matt: That's great, I appreciate the feedback and its great many will help! Thanks! | Allan | Sep. 30th at 10:38 PM gmt |
| Just wanted to say, really enjoying the game so far. Thanks to all those who have offered advice in different areas. | Matthew | Sep. 30th at 9:37 AM gmt |
I'd like to propose a rule for future seasons where you can recruit 5 players competitively in a season, but if you do you lose your 3* freebie. | John | Sep. 29th at 11:16 PM gmt |
Bad session? Well our opponents totalled 242 in total ratings. Baton Rouge was something like 220. Two other teams that went 3-0 had 206 and 210. It's not what you play but who you play. | Steve | Sep. 26th at 8:33 PM gmt |
Hang in there Paul. Your recruiting and CP usage look solid for improving the team. | Allan | Sep. 26th at 3:43 PM gmt |
Oh dear, three more losses, that's nine in succession.... | Paul | Sep. 25th at 2:07 PM gmt |
Steve: ? All: Session 9 is completed. | Allan | Sep. 25th at 2:02 PM gmt |
It's just a plot to get me to change my line-ups. But it isn't going to work. | Steve | Sep. 25th at 11:52 AM gmt |
Update: TMVL will run Sunday morning USA time... | Allan | Sep. 25th at 12:53 AM gmt |
We will be running on a couple hour (or so) delay today. | Allan | Sep. 24th at 9:00 PM gmt |
Thanks John | Roger | Sep. 20th at 9:41 AM gmt |
Yep, but a swiss system with a bracket. So the 31st place game is the loser-loser-loser-loser-winner. | John | Sep. 19th at 11:57 PM gmt |
Thanks Steve - like a Swiss system then | Roger | Sep. 19th at 6:35 PM gmt |
Short version and long version keeps failing due to bad connections. Roger it's a kind of ladder system. We all play 4 games- winners play winners and losers play losers. | Steve | Sep. 19th at 2:01 PM gmt |
How do you enter hardness on the orders screen? I've never needed it until now but can't seem to find it | John | Sep. 18th at 9:20 PM gmt |
How does the Cup / Shield work? I notice there are no brackets. | Roger | Sep. 18th at 6:35 AM gmt |
Based on overall standings I'd say Santa Clara had it tougher. | Steve | Sep. 16th at 11:32 PM gmt |
Did anybody have a harder non-conference schedule this season than our Moose? | Bryce | Sep. 16th at 6:43 PM gmt |
Thanks guys | Roy | Sep. 15th at 6:36 PM gmt |
Nashville have the 8th best Power Ranking (points scored minus points given up) so beating them away or neutral counts as a Q1. If Pekin had been playing at home it would have been Q2. | Steve | Sep. 14th at 8:03 PM gmt |
Roy - bear in mind I don't know what I'm talking about, but I was going on where you were on my Rankings page | Roger | Sep. 14th at 5:02 PM gmt |
Click on Rankings from your team's home page, or any team's for that matter. I only found it last week! | James | Sep. 14th at 3:13 PM gmt |
How do we see who's a Q1, Q2 team etc? Roger referred to Nashville as a Q1 team but we've never been higher than 9th in the rankings | Roy | Sep. 14th at 11:54 AM gmt |
Might aswell give up when playing them. Save it for the other matches | Christer | Sep. 13th at 6:27 PM gmt |
UPDATE - Click Standings then Overall tab. You'll see who is super hot (hint, its a tree animal)... | Allan | Sep. 11th at 1:01 AM gmt |
It wasn't just you (sigh from me too). Recruiting page should be working now... | Allan | Sep. 10th at 11:41 PM gmt |
What's a recruiting page? | Steve | Sep. 10th at 11:27 PM gmt |
Sigh. My recruiting page appears to have cache-d itself. | John | Sep. 10th at 11:01 PM gmt |
Vick will likely get a 6th win this week. He is playing me in the PAC 8 tourney and I am not hopeful. | Amy | Sep. 10th at 8:48 PM gmt |
With 5 wins in a row is Vick's San Jose flying under the radar? | Allan | Sep. 10th at 2:22 PM gmt |
Roger and all: I fixed emojis on the NET rankings comments. Let me know if you see another spot where its not working. | Allan | Sep. 4th at 10:57 PM gmt |
Per the rules: o At the start of session 1, (after receiving their 500 RP) a team with more than 2500 RP gets their total dropped to a max of 2500 RP. | Allan | Sep. 2nd at 11:10 PM gmt |
After a number of very close matches Cincy have played the most number of points - 2796. Pekin bottom out at 2186. | James | Aug. 30th at 2:39 PM gmt |
FYI Micki dies not vote in the Coaches Poll because she was hugely disappointed to find out it was not actually a poll to rank your favorite coach. | Phil | Aug. 29th at 1:29 AM gmt |
a 4 match week-could be rough | Amy | Aug. 27th at 5:35 PM gmt |
Who is Robert and why is he hoarding RP's? | Phil | Aug. 20th at 6:09 PM gmt |
Oh geez... has there been auctions going on? Oh no... I've totally forgotten and am not hoarding at all... | Rob | Aug. 20th at 2:42 PM gmt |
Where is Rob in recruiting? Is he saving all his RPs for season 7? | Allan | Aug. 19th at 9:44 PM gmt |
where is that WGM cup draw diagram located? | Vick | Aug. 17th at 8:54 PM gmt |
Click Scores. Then select a WGM Cup Match like 12. You should then see "WGM Cup Bracket" near No Spoliers.
| Allan | Aug. 17th at 4:15 PM gmt |
This one Vick? | Roger | Aug. 17th at 4:02 PM gmt |
where is that WGM cup draw diagram located? | Vick | Aug. 17th at 3:35 PM gmt |
yes the new look panthers are looking bad ass | Vick | Aug. 16th at 9:45 PM gmt |
It's hoped that the kittens growing up into more scary looking panthers might scare other teams off, meaning forfeits and easy wins for the team | Matthew | Aug. 16th at 2:05 AM gmt |
Last season the aim for Ames was to get a win every session. This season I have upped that to two and it's working well - so far. ???? | Colin | Aug. 15th at 9:43 PM gmt |
Good chance for the Panthers NB to rest up their T7 this weekend... | Roy | Aug. 15th at 5:18 PM gmt |
Whoa. Just noticed that the Kittens grew up in a hurry. | Kevin | Aug. 15th at 3:00 PM gmt |
There aren't any good stock logos though. | John | Aug. 14th at 10:16 PM gmt |
I'm supportive of that Sheboygan nickname change... | Allan | Aug. 14th at 6:13 PM gmt |
You are right Micki! | Allan | Aug. 14th at 6:13 PM gmt |
Has anyone else noticed that Phil has not changed his hat in over a YEAR??? | Micki | Aug. 13th at 6:29 PM gmt |
That's my brand | John | Aug. 13th at 11:39 AM gmt |
...and by "sometimes" I mean every single day. | Phil | Aug. 13th at 7:17 AM gmt |
Sometimes I have no idea what John is talking about... | Phil | Aug. 13th at 7:17 AM gmt |
If the vampire bat wasn't so cute Sheboygan would consider exploring a nickname change to the "Sheboygan Sentient Sausages" | John | Aug. 12th at 7:11 PM gmt |
Welcome Paul! | John | Aug. 12th at 7:10 PM gmt |
Paul Cockayne is now in charge at Portland. Welcome back Paul! | Allan | Aug. 11th at 2:44 PM gmt |
Good luck everyone! | Amy | Aug. 6th at 9:02 PM gmt |
There will be one more week where photos can be sent in and I'll process end of session 3 (hopefully)... | Allan | Aug. 6th at 8:58 PM gmt |
This league is lacking Mr. Lindsay | Max | Aug. 6th at 8:44 PM gmt |
Who else thinks that Phil is slacking on his hat status? | Micki | Aug. 6th at 6:34 PM gmt |
Next round #1 Columbia play #2 Quincy in a game being described by commentators as "on this weekend" | John | Aug. 5th at 12:28 PM gmt |
c'mon Ian! Join us! | Amy | Jul. 30th at 10:09 PM gmt |
I think Ian is just plain scared to play a game that is harder than United :-) | Steve | Jul. 30th at 4:42 PM gmt |
I am shocked...nay...appalled...that I have been trash talking Ian in TMVL and only now realize that Ian is not in TMVL. I don't know what emoticon goes with that. | Phil | Jul. 30th at 3:08 PM gmt |
After session 1 completes (July 30th) it will be reset for session 2 (between July 30-Aug 6). There's still some manual aspects on my part to be automated. | Allan | Jul. 19th at 9:58 PM gmt |
| The poll is typically representing the votes from the prior session and going into the next session. Also the RP bonus is for that upcoming session. So the session 1 coaches poll votes and comments are awarded session 1 Media Bonus RPs. | Allan | Jul. 19th at 9:56 PM gmt |
I'm not exactly sure why I asked that question. I think what I meant was "will it reset this weekend" | John | Jul. 19th at 8:27 PM gmt |
Yes | Allan | Jul. 19th at 4:37 PM gmt |
Is the current coaches poll for preseason? | John | Jul. 19th at 1:53 PM gmt |
Should be fixed now. Because I had a 2-week gap in a table to allow some runway until session 1 that caused the anomaly. | Allan | Jul. 17th at 10:41 PM gmt |
Thanks Steve, I will look at that. | Allan | Jul. 17th at 10:01 PM gmt |
Voting on coaches poll giving 5 RP. Nothing else is as of yet. | Steve | Jul. 17th at 9:18 PM gmt |
Okay...NOW I get it... 😎 | Allan | Jul. 5th at 10:04 PM gmt |
The Hatters! | James | Jul. 5th at 10:01 PM gmt |
Okay, I'll admit that I'm not quite following this. John and Steve please enlighten me.... | Allan | Jul. 5th at 9:53 PM gmt |
LOL @ John. I woder how many here don't get the reference. | Steve | Jul. 5th at 5:26 PM gmt |
It's now very surprising to me Luton Town are in MSWL-2 and not in this league | John | Jul. 4th at 6:48 AM gmt |
whilst waiting for the next season. i think i had better do some hat shopping and become a chameleon! | Vick | Jul. 2nd at 6:36 PM gmt |
I assume my logo will have to be updated to "Spokane." Perhaps at the same time, a hat could be added. | Jason | Jul. 2nd at 2:14 PM gmt |
As we close the books on this season, thanks all for welcoming me in! Looking forward to what next season brings! | Jason | Jul. 2nd at 2:04 PM gmt |
(I'm still going to beat you guys next season!😈) | Micki | Jul. 2nd at 4:30 AM gmt |
Nice season everyone!🙂 | Micki | Jul. 2nd at 4:27 AM gmt |
i don´t know the tomato stem is quite cutesy as far as hats go, but the banana is just sporting a mohican | Vick | Jul. 2nd at 12:31 AM gmt |
Stems are not hats, so that's a big zero there. But I have to tip my hat to the mushroom cap! GENIUS! | Phil | Jun. 27th at 11:12 PM gmt |
Mushrooms have caps so does Mendon make it 5 hats. | James | Jun. 27th at 2:50 PM gmt |
John, if you count the tomato stem as a hat, then I think you also have to count the banana stem, which would make it four. | Jason | Jun. 27th at 1:07 PM gmt |
And yes, these two posts were worth 10 RP | John | Jun. 27th at 2:15 AM gmt |
Are there two or three teams in the league whose mascot is wearing a hat? Can't figure out if a tomato stem counts. | John | Jun. 27th at 2:15 AM gmt |
Dashboard updated for this Session 13. If you see any issues let me know... | Allan | Jun. 26th at 11:31 PM gmt |
hats are so old , its who has the best knee thats the story now !! | James | Jun. 25th at 11:37 PM gmt |
We should have awards handed out at the end of the season. I would OBVIOUSLY win the best hat award. | Micki | Jun. 25th at 6:28 PM gmt |
Ha! Yes, Christer, looks like Columbia is not happy with the Squirrels!! 😎 | Allan | Jun. 20th at 9:26 PM gmt |
It ok Al, I got it now. But that part of not taking recruits from Columbia I just will not follow.... | Christer | Jun. 20th at 7:15 PM gmt |
You'd think that at 29-3 (as we were at the time) that'd I'd be clever enough to check my libero was serving for a Middle.that was playing. | Steve | Jun. 19th at 11:08 PM gmt |
Thanks Steve for helping Christer with my poorly worded info. Christer let us know if that answered your question please. | Allan | Jun. 19th at 10:43 PM gmt |
Micki is so funny and is an amazing soccer and softball athlete! You go Micki! | Amy | Jun. 18th at 11:26 PM gmt |
The gift shop is amazing John! | Allan | Jun. 18th at 9:58 PM gmt |
Nice. I'm clearly making a road trip to Phil's hat next summer. | John | Jun. 18th at 8:46 PM gmt |
😳 | Phil | Jun. 18th at 8:21 PM gmt |
No, Raccoon National park is in Phils hat. Put a few Raccoons there myself and told them to destroy his hat. | Micki | Jun. 18th at 6:27 PM gmt |
John, it's apparently in my garage. | Phil | Jun. 16th at 5:22 PM gmt |
Thanks - Steve. | James | Jun. 13th at 2:55 PM gmt |
Yes they carry over. | Steve | Jun. 13th at 11:46 AM gmt |
Do excess CP carry over at season end? Max 15 + those won in session 12 I assume so but not 100% sure, | James | Jun. 13th at 9:22 AM gmt |
Vick's San Jose Shrimps have now appeared in the semifinals of EVERY Tournament his team has been in this season... | Allan | Jun. 12th at 9:31 PM gmt |
Where's Raccoon National Park? | John | Jun. 12th at 7:35 AM gmt |
It is one of those teams (the only team nickname?) named after a USA National Park... | Allan | Jun. 12th at 12:01 AM gmt |
That's crazy, which match!? | Mike | Jun. 11th at 11:56 PM gmt |
WOW! 43-41... | Allan | Jun. 11th at 10:30 PM gmt |
Going forward, you should now see +5 RP bonuses for: a) voting in the coaches poll b) commenting on the coaches poll and c) commenting on the recruiting rankings | Allan | Jun. 11th at 9:52 PM gmt |
YUP, Allan! get on that! I hope that I can make it to the final four after today! | Amy | Jun. 11th at 7:51 PM gmt |
I was thinking the same thing Al. | Phil | Jun. 11th at 7:51 PM gmt |
Getting harrassed here by Mrs. Sellers about how she's putting in all this press energy and some don't count (Coaches Poll/Recruiting Rankings)...guess I need to get on that? 😠| Allan | Jun. 11th at 7:46 PM gmt |
Albuquerque sneaking up on Carlsbad in the coaches poll. | Phil | Jun. 11th at 7:46 PM gmt |
With 7 B+ or higher players on the roster people know to respect the Pandas! 😎 | Allan | Jun. 7th at 11:56 PM gmt |
The Pandas lost all 3 matches this weekend and yet we get 4 votes? | Roy | Jun. 7th at 11:47 PM gmt |
Ha ha. Fortunately I love this game so much you can't shut me up and getting the 40 RP is never a problem. | Steve | Jun. 7th at 7:41 PM gmt |
'accidentally sent an empty post'....or should it read 'wanted 5k free' | Craig | Jun. 7th at 5:17 PM gmt |
Ignore that one - I accidentally sent an empty post | Steve | Jun. 6th at 5:36 PM gmt |
Steve you have to put a title on your forum posts, otherwise none of us can read them... | John | Jun. 6th at 11:50 AM gmt |
Discovering the brackets aren't as fun once you're out of the bracket | John | Jun. 6th at 10:13 AM gmt |
With Max home, there's a lot of discussion about results tonight here with the Sellers clan... | Allan | Jun. 4th at 11:06 PM gmt |
National Championship and Holyoke brackets now available at Scores page... | Allan | Jun. 4th at 3:44 PM gmt |
Huh. Guess it's the same in MSWL. Never mind. I thought clicking the number took you to the scores page, not the match report page. Anyways, disregard | John | Jun. 4th at 2:17 PM gmt |
John: please email a screenshot on your grievance and I'll see if I can fix it up for you sir! WGM visual brackets took time to code, nothing yet that is similar for the National/Holyoke. It is on my to do list. | Allan | Jun. 4th at 1:10 AM gmt |
John, are you talking from your Team page schedule? Clicking those match numbers in the schedule works for me. | Mike | Jun. 3rd at 12:32 PM gmt |
TMVL things that drive me crazy, 3 June edition: clicking the number in the schedule brings up the game, not the scores for that round | John | Jun. 3rd at 10:51 AM gmt |
Are brackets up for the national cups? | John | Jun. 3rd at 10:46 AM gmt |
Should be good now Roy. If not, please let me know. | Allan | May. 29th at 6:20 PM gmt |
I was going to ask about the step 1 recruiting but I can see Al is already on the case | Roy | May. 29th at 9:18 AM gmt |
A lot of conversations in the Sellers house after today's results. That's not a spoiler... | Allan | May. 28th at 9:26 PM gmt |
Dont worry Vick we are in the same boat | James | May. 28th at 6:02 PM gmt |
we only have one recruits so far. It´s not looking good. | Vick | May. 27th at 11:34 PM gmt |
According to the stats our player roster is one of the worst in TMVL. Only Manitowoc´s is worse. Hoping our recruits this year might help improve this awful stat | Vick | May. 27th at 11:33 PM gmt |
James: Thanks! Vick: Yep, probably the pizza was the culprit! At the same time, 4-match sessions are tough! | Allan | May. 25th at 10:34 PM gmt |
Our shrimps were fried last session. Out two top servers just did not perform. No pizza for them this week | Vick | May. 23rd at 10:29 PM gmt |
Cinci Step 2 updated. Thx for the warning | James | May. 23rd at 1:37 PM gmt |
Portland Sasquatches -> Spokane Sasquatches | Allan | May. 21st at 10:07 PM gmt |
Oh yeah | Micki | May. 21st at 7:56 PM gmt |
ooh, I love hot shrimps, especially shrimp scampi | Amy | May. 21st at 7:21 PM gmt |
Shrimps have been hot lately...and spicy! | Phil | May. 21st at 7:20 PM gmt |
2 Halpins... I fear this might be my fault... | Rob | May. 21st at 4:11 PM gmt |
Permission is granted for hazing of Jason. Please all proceed... | Mike | May. 21st at 3:29 AM gmt |
Hello everybody! As I drink a cold beverage and enter my first TMVL orders tonight, I can't thank Kevin and Allan enough for their help getting me started. Happy to be here and excited to learn more about the league! | Jason | May. 21st at 2:27 AM gmt |
Welcome Jason! | Bryce | May. 20th at 9:41 PM gmt |
Welcome to Mike Halpin's brother Jason who will be taking on the Sasquatches. Thank you to Kevin for running them in caretaker mode! | Allan | May. 18th at 11:11 PM gmt |
Shrimps have been hot lately... | Allan | May. 17th at 11:43 PM gmt |
heh we now have two Shrimps in the top most service points won list! Can they get to numbers 1 and 2! | Vick | May. 14th at 8:21 AM gmt |
PAC8 is just too brutal. Never an easy game! | Vick | May. 14th at 8:03 AM gmt |
Very close and nicely done Steve. | Allan | May. 8th at 6:03 PM gmt |
I do? It took a few seconds to click as I didn't realise we were #1. That's pretty close. | Steve | May. 8th at 3:09 PM gmt |
.006 Steve knows what it means... 😢😧 | Allan | May. 7th at 10:42 PM gmt |
I love the "Micki does not like lawyers" comment Phil! 😎 | Allan | May. 7th at 10:39 PM gmt |
Good luck everyone! | Amy | May. 7th at 7:22 PM gmt |
Micki does not like lawyers, John. | Phil | May. 7th at 4:33 PM gmt |
Oh great, Albuquerque on the fixture this week. | John | May. 7th at 6:22 AM gmt |
This goes along with my blog post, but anyone who does challenge me will be demolished.😠| Micki | May. 7th at 2:48 AM gmt |
Session 3 results now available! | Allan | Apr. 23rd at 10:43 PM gmt |
The suspense is killing me!
| Mike | Apr. 23rd at 9:45 PM gmt |
I'll be running matches late today. I will email when done. | Allan | Apr. 23rd at 9:08 PM gmt |
Love the C-Poll as well! | Mike | Apr. 23rd at 6:34 PM gmt |
My hat looks goooooood. | Micki | Apr. 23rd at 3:11 PM gmt |
nice to see at least one of my shrimps making it into the top 5 stats list. | Vick | Apr. 23rd at 10:17 AM gmt |
Are comments on the recruiting page not available to stop Steve messing with our minds ?? | James | Apr. 20th at 7:31 PM gmt |
COACHES POLL | Allan | Apr. 19th at 10:41 PM gmt |
big fan of the coaches poll | Aires | Apr. 19th at 1:35 AM gmt |
C-Ball: I think Rob said you were a rival, so you'll need to learn a new accent it seems... 😎 | Allan | Apr. 17th at 10:31 PM gmt |
How did we wind up in the SEC? Our Boston/Providence mash-up accents will never work out there. | Mike | Apr. 16th at 2:53 PM gmt |
My hat looks gooooood. | Micki | Apr. 15th at 9:04 PM gmt |
Yep, that's what I was thinking. Create a little competition for some conference bragging rights. | Bryce | Apr. 15th at 2:44 AM gmt |
Bryce: Are you thinking we total the number of non-conference match wins by PAC 8, SEC, Big East, and Big 8 to see which conference did best w/slight award? | Allan | Apr. 12th at 10:30 PM gmt |
I saw there was a reward for non-conference performance by a team. What about a small reward for all teams in the conference that performs best compared to the other conferences? | Bryce | Apr. 11th at 8:04 PM gmt |
Thank you! | Steve | Apr. 10th at 7:28 PM gmt |
Added! | Allan | Apr. 10th at 5:53 PM gmt |
Any chance of a coach list -> team please. I know pretty much all the old teams and a few of the new but not all. | Steve | Apr. 10th at 4:24 PM gmt |
SCOREBOARD UPDATE | Allan | Apr. 10th at 12:42 AM gmt |
Love the Paul photo... | Allan | Apr. 10th at 12:41 AM gmt |
Era of taking the Micki? | Paul | Apr. 9th at 6:02 PM gmt |
Ok, I think this is most definitely going to be, "The era of Micki" | Micki | Apr. 9th at 4:38 PM gmt |
I'd be worried if I were you Colin...my mighty Bulldogs are predicted to LOSE all 3. Obviously that's rubbish so using the same logic, you're right to be concerned :) | Craig | Apr. 8th at 11:35 AM gmt |
So I don't have a clue what's going on but I checked my first 3 matches and they all predict Ames to win. Hahahaha perhaps the prediction guide should include what a dunderheid is picking the team! | Colin | Apr. 1st at 11:22 AM gmt |
Ty Allan, Max and the others who helped get this up and running! | Aires | Mar. 29th at 2:44 PM gmt |
MESSAGE SECTION | Allan | Mar. 28th at 10:33 PM gmt |
Are then any plans to add a messages section so other managers can easily contact each other like as there is in the MSWL leagues. I realise not as much need as in the football leagues but could prove useful | Vick | Mar. 28th at 10:59 AM gmt |
UPDATES | Allan | Mar. 28th at 2:00 AM gmt |
Oh, never mind. Transition not yet complete...I was all excited for games this week. My bad. | Phil | Mar. 26th at 6:00 AM gmt |
Al, my team show some players already increased by CP. Is there a chance the practice session wasn't eradicated? | Phil | Mar. 26th at 5:59 AM gmt |
There is a Mrs. Sellers? | Phil | Mar. 26th at 5:51 AM gmt |
Top server is a newbie Shrimp. congrats to Aiden. Lets hope he continues to put in those performances in season 5! | Vick | Mar. 21st at 6:46 PM gmt |
Is pre-season John trying to fly under the radar? | Allan | Mar. 18th at 12:21 AM gmt |
Why does Rob lead blocking with 3 players in the top 3 spots. Does Rob know something we do not? | Allan | Mar. 14th at 12:46 AM gmt |
Good luck Mrs Sellers...just watch yourself against Mr Sellers though...he holds ALL the cards and is very friendly with the powers that be! | Craig | Mar. 13th at 8:46 AM gmt |
MRS. SELLERS 😇 | Allan | Mar. 13th at 1:09 AM gmt |
It was just an issue for the new teams as I had some manualy setup tasks on the "overall" and "grade" fields and didn't get it fully done... | Allan | Mar. 12th at 6:06 PM gmt |
Odd. I've been on that page dozens of times (always tweaking) and hadn't noticed. | Steve | Mar. 12th at 5:56 PM gmt |
ORDERS PAGE | Allan | Mar. 12th at 5:37 PM gmt |
QUICK UPDATES | Allan | Mar. 12th at 4:50 PM gmt |
Al please use the same profile pic as in mswl cheers | James | Mar. 12th at 10:52 AM gmt |
Thi is gonna take a while to the hang of, only ever played doubles at VB | James | Mar. 12th at 10:51 AM gmt |
Does anyone else notice, if you look at the shrimp's photograph it looks like they're picking their nose. | Micki | Mar. 12th at 5:16 AM gmt |
With 7 players in the Grade A range are Christer and Schenectady trying to fly under the radar? | Allan | Mar. 12th at 1:28 AM gmt |
One more to go 😀 | Steve | Mar. 11th at 7:15 AM gmt |
The Artichoke logo has arrived! | Allan | Mar. 10th at 10:35 PM gmt |
Ah, my mobile phone browser let's me in. Must be whatever the laptop uses as a browser | Roy | Mar. 7th at 8:24 AM gmt |
Easy question first, Roy.
What browser are you using? | Steve | Mar. 6th at 8:50 AM gmt |
| Is the Blog open to new managers? I can see a title box but not a box to write the blog itself into. | Roy | Mar. 6th at 1:06 AM gmt |
My hat looks goooood. | Phil | Mar. 5th at 5:11 PM gmt |
Ha! Well Roy, I don't want to call anyone out but the photo Paul sent me looks like it was taken when he was 22? And he's not been 22 for a while! :-) | Allan | Feb. 28th at 11:53 PM gmt |
| I'll try and sort out a profile picture. Did you guys ever think about using pics of yourselves from when you were in college? Steve's pic reminded me that he used one for a youth academy soccer team. | Roy | Feb. 28th at 1:28 AM gmt |
The Logos are on a site called PlaceIt.net. Max and I found that when we were originally starting TMVL and wanted to get some quality logos to use. | Allan | Feb. 20th at 5:31 PM gmt |
Al, where you get the logos for the teams. They've always looked great, and the news ones so far are amazing. | Mike | Feb. 20th at 3:51 PM gmt |
10 managers added to the website. 6 more managers needed. Team Names and Logos to come soon... | Allan | Feb. 17th at 11:31 PM gmt |
Still crossing my fingers for the "All My Players Disappointed Me" post from Rob... | Allan | Feb. 11th at 10:09 PM gmt |
Planning to run matches late today (Monday 4pm USA Central or so). | Allan | Feb. 7th at 1:43 PM gmt |
I'm sure it was just a "coincidence"... 😎 | Allan | Feb. 3rd at 5:41 PM gmt |
Oh good. Just by posting about it, I stopped the glitch in the matrix.
| Mike | Feb. 3rd at 5:19 PM gmt |
Al really wants us to know that the Mules have the top two players on the "Most Kills" list. As that's the only stat block that keeps flashing on the home page for me. | Mike | Feb. 3rd at 5:18 PM gmt |
Point for Schenectady! | Phil | Jan. 31st at 5:47 AM gmt |
non-con equals all-pro you mean, Phil? | Christer | Jan. 30th at 12:36 PM gmt |
I always assumed non-con was good because....well..it's non-con. | Phil | Jan. 29th at 8:29 PM gmt |
Holyoke here we come | Aires | Jan. 26th at 8:25 AM gmt |
John probably shouldn't have staked his claim to that "Non-Con" trophy...teams are now paying attention... | Allan | Jan. 23rd at 12:46 AM gmt |
Running games about an hour after deadline today... | Allan | Jan. 22nd at 9:20 PM gmt |
Is that anything like Googling yourself? | Rob | Jan. 22nd at 4:48 PM gmt |
Always Fedex yourself, I say | John | Jan. 20th at 5:40 PM gmt |
LOL! 😎 | Allan | Jan. 16th at 6:43 PM gmt |
Do you get anything from winning non-conference? Asking for a coach whose name is me | John | Jan. 16th at 6:21 PM gmt |
T7 from the Anglerfish then. But that's what they do: lure you into the light then you're fish food. | Steve | Jan. 15th at 9:41 AM gmt |
Not much left to play for in the season... time to trot out the underclassmen! | Rob | Jan. 14th at 10:58 PM gmt |
Two games two wins required | Matt | Jan. 14th at 8:06 PM gmt |
Hopefully we can make a comeback and demolish everyone! | Micki | Jan. 13th at 3:35 AM gmt |
So are we😔 | Micki | Jan. 13th at 3:22 AM gmt |
Burlington is hurting | Aires | Jan. 12th at 8:09 AM gmt |
Yes sir, nicely done Steve! 😎 | Allan | Jan. 11th at 10:58 PM gmt |
Looks OK now, Al. Crikey I've started a lot of Team News articles haven't I? | Steve | Jan. 11th at 10:33 PM gmt |
Looked like a bug on one of the pages. It was saving properly, but not presenting the session number correctly. Have another look and see if that helps. | Allan | Jan. 11th at 4:08 PM gmt |
I was looking into starting to use the feature and got curious. | Mike | Jan. 11th at 1:07 AM gmt |
Al, is the "(Session 8) " in the Team News form static and applied to old posts that may have been posted in prior sessions? I notice that most of Steve's news items list "Session 8" even though some are as old as late November.
| Mike | Jan. 11th at 1:06 AM gmt |
Glad that worked John. You may need to write a translator for your posts though as Steve noted. 😎 | Allan | Jan. 5th at 4:17 PM gmt |
Yup, all sorted. Thanks Al! Only thing left to do now is re-run the last round of matches 😇 | John | Jan. 4th at 5:58 AM gmt |
👠| Allan | Jan. 4th at 1:10 AM gmt |
The base orders.php page now loads completely. | John | Jan. 3rd at 6:00 AM gmt |
Ugh again. Okay, please try again... | Allan | Jan. 3rd at 1:18 AM gmt |
Unfortunately both Option A and Option B cut off at exactly the same place - right at Barney Oniongrove's setting skill :( | John | Jan. 3rd at 1:10 AM gmt |
Okay, I had some time now and created an approach similar to United. John: Please verify it works for you. Thanks! | Allan | Jan. 2nd at 11:43 PM gmt |
Ugh! I will try to get some options out there for you on Tuesday or sooner John. | Allan | Jan. 2nd at 10:54 PM gmt |
The cache bug has hit my orders page :( | John | Jan. 2nd at 8:30 PM gmt |
What kind of trash talk is THAT Phil?!? | Micki | Jan. 1st at 8:08 PM gmt |
Happy New Year, Everyone! Appreciate your friendship and spirited competition all year round! | Phil | Jan. 1st at 8:00 PM gmt |
There's nothing wrong with this league that a little Jeff Bagby can't fix...I'm just sayin'... | Phil | Jan. 1st at 7:38 PM gmt |
Happy New Year 🥳 | Micki | Jan. 1st at 7:48 AM gmt |
Nice! The last time there was a "Holden rule" a local sandwich shop stopped accepting payment by check | John | Dec. 28th at 7:59 PM gmt |
Yes, he will have another chance with the new Holden Rule 😎 | Allan | Dec. 27th at 11:58 PM gmt |
We have our first new rule end of season auction recruit, 3-star Libero Reid Ayers | John | Dec. 27th at 4:38 AM gmt |
Oh I'm sorry, but I was just trying to be nice for once! | Micki | Dec. 25th at 3:59 PM gmt |
What kind of trash talk is THAT?!! | Phil | Dec. 25th at 4:12 AM gmt |
I just wanted to stop by and tell everyone Merry Christmas! | Micki | Dec. 24th at 10:44 PM gmt |
Less than 6 hours to Christmas here in the UK so I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and hope you get everything you wished for (except Max in match 16). | Steve | Dec. 24th at 6:38 PM gmt |
wow! | Allan | Dec. 19th at 1:44 AM gmt |
I once asked for band-aids in a UK pharmacy and ended up getting plastered | John | Dec. 18th at 8:37 PM gmt |
Band-aid. PHP version change. Very frustrating. Hopefully it "fixes itself" after this session. Sigh... | Allan | Dec. 18th at 7:01 PM gmt |
How'd you fix that Al? | John | Dec. 18th at 5:56 PM gmt |
Its working (for now) Steve. Same issue I have in United Orders where the page caches and will not "repaint" despite my settings to do just that... | Allan | Dec. 16th at 11:13 PM gmt |
I see it too. Tried a few things (sort of like the Orders caching issue) and nothing resolved it. I'll look again later. | Allan | Dec. 16th at 4:09 PM gmt |
When clicking on All Recruits I'm only seeing Dorsey and one other MB. Anyone else getting the same? | Steve | Dec. 16th at 10:35 AM gmt |
Eh. It's just a small hitch in the road. | Micki | Dec. 15th at 4:06 AM gmt |
Did anyone else notice that Phil signed the "best" MB recruit yesterday? 🤠| Allan | Dec. 12th at 10:16 PM gmt |
Kevin: I have thought about that idea a bit. | Allan | Dec. 11th at 5:05 PM gmt |
What conference am I in? | Phil | Dec. 11th at 5:47 AM gmt |
Al's 'random' praise has me thinking there's going to be a RP reward for getting lineups in by Wednesday each week that diminishes every day after until the C-Ball deadline. | Kevin | Dec. 10th at 3:31 PM gmt |
Western Conference 7, Eastern Conference 1. Good work WC on those lineups! 🤠| Allan | Dec. 10th at 12:40 AM gmt |
The struggle is real with the Bullfrogs | Aires | Dec. 9th at 4:15 AM gmt |
Love that blog/bio post thanks Steve! | Allan | Dec. 6th at 10:36 PM gmt |
That one is the record (two 36-34 sets in prior seasons). 😎 | Allan | Dec. 5th at 3:35 PM gmt |
What's the longest set so far? Had a 39-37 one this weekend | John | Dec. 5th at 3:22 PM gmt |
Not too many eh Aires 😄 | Steve | Dec. 1st at 7:11 AM gmt |
Ok time for Bullflrogs to pick up the intensity and get a few wins this weekend
| Aires | Dec. 1st at 5:44 AM gmt |
You can use the Team News to talk about your team. OR some people like to use it to put the focus on another team. 😎 | Allan | Nov. 25th at 3:58 PM gmt |
Added TEAM NEWS/journal section including code to include entries for the media bonus. For now access on front page, later on team page too. | Allan | Nov. 25th at 3:55 PM gmt |
Hi😜 | Micki | Nov. 23rd at 12:49 AM gmt |
Also if you need fresh recruit names I'm available | John | Nov. 22nd at 4:49 PM gmt |
There will probably be more later with the seeded cup rounds as well. | Steve | Nov. 22nd at 1:00 PM gmt |
Thanks John! New schedule looks good Steve. I think I just see one where I have two home games in same session and I know we expected at least that. Thanks! | Allan | Nov. 21st at 11:23 PM gmt |
This season's turnaround was tighter than a belt on Thansgiving | John | Nov. 21st at 10:00 PM gmt |
So much for trying to fix the schedule. We have Carlsbad twice, Baton Rouge and Antioch. | Steve | Nov. 21st at 8:08 AM gmt |
😎🤔 Its probably not related to how last year we ended up with last names like "Oniongrove" and "Manhopper". Okay John fire away with a name suggestion... | Allan | Nov. 13th at 12:17 AM gmt |
We can't pick names for walk-ons no more?! | John | Nov. 12th at 8:37 PM gmt |
A few stats that helped us in our great season: Most service points Wyatt Robinson 1st=, Most digs Brenton Franklin 2nd, Most kills Wyatt Robinson 1st. Most Blocks Roger Bishop 3rd | Steve | Oct. 30th at 11:49 PM gmt |
Christer: Very nice job. Three more to go! | Allan | Oct. 26th at 11:24 PM gmt |
Steve: And when that type of ball lands in the middle of 6 players and NONE can get to it (along with other shots like this) it is called a CAMPFIRE (the ball is like the fire surrounded by people). | Allan | Oct. 26th at 11:23 PM gmt |
Steve: The symbols have always been there for the viewer. Yes there are some fun volleyball terms like "setter dump" when the setter disguises it like they are going to set an attacker but instead dump it over. | Allan | Oct. 26th at 11:22 PM gmt |
Can we play a few more sessions? The Squirrels have finally understood how to play volleyball
| Christer | Oct. 24th at 10:16 AM gmt |
How long have those symbols been there on the viewer? I normally look on my phone zoomed in so they'd be off the screen. Took me a while to work out what the dump(er) truck meant. (And thank you for the email, Al) | Steve | Oct. 24th at 8:36 AM gmt |
Yes, I will email a copy of three tables to help you research this. If anyone else wants the data too please let me know. | Allan | Oct. 23rd at 11:09 PM gmt |
Might be a daft question but is there anyway to check past coaching? A couple of my players seem shorter than expected (this WILL NOT happen next season). I did make notes for XP planning but threw them. | Steve | Oct. 23rd at 10:46 PM gmt |
Sorry Mendon and Burlington. Looks like you are on the list to lose to Micki and ABQ today... | Allan | Oct. 23rd at 4:17 PM gmt |
It is a nerdy progamming thing Kevin and yes I was looking at the word like "am I spelling this right?"... 😎 | Allan | Oct. 22nd at 11:49 PM gmt |
Kudos to Al for successfully using "decremented" in a sentence. Don't see that one every day. | Kevin | Oct. 22nd at 7:04 PM gmt |
You can also use the COACHING section in the upper right to see how much CP is decremented as you make a selection. | Allan | Oct. 22nd at 12:06 PM gmt |
Orders page does just show your "base" SL (without FIT) and not your "effective" SL like you'll see in match reports. CP uses "base" SL (without FIT impacting). | Allan | Oct. 22nd at 12:04 PM gmt |
Looking at my liberos with identical SRV and RCV but different FIT I'd say it was tied to FIT=0. On the orders page both are A- but on the team page the one with 4 less DEF and FIT 1 is only a B | Steve | Oct. 22nd at 9:48 AM gmt |
On the Orders page, if FIT is represented, does that make the cost of CP for a skill go up as well? Or is CP tied to the 0-FIT skill level? | Mike | Oct. 22nd at 2:32 AM gmt |
I think yes you are right Steve. I don't think I incorporate FIT in the grade on the teams page? It seems like I should for consistency though right? | Allan | Oct. 16th at 1:49 PM gmt |
Answering my own question. I've looked at other players and this seems to be the case. | Steve | Oct. 13th at 5:23 PM gmt |
Gavin Carter, libero is listed as A- on the orders page but B on the team page. Is this due to Fit? It's in the game vs Baton Rouge | Steve | Oct. 13th at 5:01 PM gmt |
Time to start thinking about next season, XP usage and working on our away record which is almost as bad as Antioch's | Steve | Oct. 10th at 9:35 AM gmt |
My hat looks good! | Phil | Oct. 9th at 8:30 PM gmt |
I do it all for the money | John | Oct. 9th at 7:58 PM gmt |
John's comment, without proper context is VERY confusing! | Rob | Oct. 9th at 6:48 PM gmt |
Ninja is about nine minutes a pound, the meat is pretty lean. | John | Oct. 9th at 7:04 AM gmt |
I need to up my game on recruiting. Spent too much on my 5* setter - could have got two players for that. And didn't even l know all the recruits were listed. | Steve | Oct. 2nd at 9:52 PM gmt |
This league is a roadkill smorgasbord! | Phil | Oct. 2nd at 6:50 AM gmt |
LOL John eats roadkill! | Phil | Oct. 2nd at 6:50 AM gmt |
John, I'm curious. How does one go about eating a ninja? | Kevin | Oct. 2nd at 4:05 AM gmt |
I'm offended. But raccoon may be something I want to try.... | Micki | Oct. 1st at 11:26 PM gmt |
Finally realising Teutopolis is the only mascot in the league which wouldn't make a good sandwich | John | Oct. 1st at 11:16 PM gmt |
Yay! I FINALLY got my recruiting done!😋 | Micki | Oct. 1st at 11:10 PM gmt |
Those aren't fractional lines, those are pies. Pies that get eaten in reverse | John | Oct. 1st at 11:09 PM gmt |
Two points: 1. love the fractional lines 2. I must look at that scheduling - 4 home games??? | Steve | Oct. 1st at 11:03 PM gmt |
No your eyes aren't fooling you on the Orders page. I added the "fractional" lines for when a player hasn't been coached per Mike Halpin's requirements... ðŸ | Allan | Oct. 1st at 10:53 PM gmt |
Need to start recruiting a few new players | Matt | Oct. 1st at 7:08 AM gmt |
This emoji has Phil's cowboy hat I guess? 🤠| Allan | Sep. 29th at 11:27 PM gmt |
Will John run his winning streak to SIX with this session? 😇 | Allan | Sep. 29th at 10:22 PM gmt |
| Sorry John, I know you thought I'd change the rules because you have 4 matches at home this session, but I'm not going to. :-) | Allan | Sep. 28th at 11:09 PM gmt |
| Four home game session 8D | John | Sep. 27th at 12:21 AM gmt |
| Nice job on that road W Christer! | Allan | Sep. 26th at 11:31 PM gmt |
| Does anyone else think that Phil should just stick to one hat? | Micki | Sep. 25th at 5:09 PM gmt |
| Notice to ALL MANAGERS. Al is holding out on you. There are more hat pictures. | Phil | Sep. 25th at 6:26 AM gmt |
| Sheboygan has the best Serve Receive percentage in this league... | Allan | Sep. 20th at 11:21 PM gmt |
| This session we have 3 home matches and then we play at Sheboygan to defend our WGM title... | Allan | Sep. 19th at 11:02 PM gmt |
| As is "Indiana Jones" Phil. | Phil | Sep. 18th at 5:35 AM gmt |
| I have more hats, Al. Conductor Phil is a pretty popular item these days. | Phil | Sep. 18th at 5:35 AM gmt |
| I don't like anyone who’s defeated me. They are on my “I will get them back/Revenge list.†| Micki | Sep. 18th at 2:44 AM gmt |
| Squirrels obviously dont like bananas. Unfortunatly they cant play volleyball against them either. | Christer | Sep. 14th at 4:39 PM gmt |
| Are Baton Rouge flying under the radar? | Allan | Sep. 13th at 8:24 PM gmt |
| Steve: It is after recruiting is processed each session. | Allan | Sep. 12th at 4:52 PM gmt |
| When is the media and session RP added? Just wondering how much to bid | Steve | Sep. 12th at 3:18 PM gmt |
| NIL CONTRACTS!!!! | Phil | Sep. 11th at 4:25 AM gmt |
| Pursuant to the colorful thread from Phil and John, should their be "collusion-like" suggestions allowed during the Step 3 final recruiting process? Do we need to add in a spot for comments (like I'm up against Mr. C-Ball for a Libero it seems). | Allan | Aug. 29th at 9:09 PM gmt |
| Ride the pine? The Sheboygan benches, for the home team at least, have some very comfy cushions. It'd be nice if you could pass that onto the recruits Al | John | Aug. 29th at 8:56 PM gmt |
| I would love to have the option of spending a few RP's to persuade a recruit NOT to go to a rival. "Yeah, they are good. So good you'll ride the pine for three and a half seasons." | Phil | Aug. 27th at 5:45 AM gmt |
| Are Matt and San Diego flying under the radar with this strategy of playing five sets in EVERY match? It appears to be a solid XP-raising strategy... | Allan | Aug. 22nd at 12:50 PM gmt |
| Memory note for myself. Dont waste those XPs this season. | Christer | Aug. 20th at 10:41 PM gmt |
| Based on how they used their RP. I'll email you the season 2 expenditures. If anyone else wants that spreadsheet please ask. | Allan | Aug. 18th at 9:25 PM gmt |
| Why do recruiting points vary so much by team? | John | Aug. 18th at 12:14 AM gmt |
| Quick answer to Mike Halpin from a 3/20 post...yes I'll add a task list item to show all teams eligible to bid in step 3 (starting next season) even if your team is not involved. | Allan | Mar. 27th at 10:40 PM gmt |
| I don't think so, Micki. I appear to have too many OH next season. Want to poach one? | Steve | Mar. 27th at 8:41 AM gmt |
| Is there any recruiting this session? | Micki | Mar. 27th at 1:50 AM gmt |
| NEW RANKINGS New rankings format is coded and will be published after matches on Saturday... | Allan | Mar. 26th at 11:00 PM gmt |
| ALL MANAGERS Please see the Home Court Forum thread and comment. Some VERY interesting ideas from Kevin there that need exploring with feedback (thanks Kevin)... | Allan | Mar. 24th at 12:44 AM gmt |
| Thanks Mike H. for the feedback. I've added that to our task list. | Allan | Mar. 24th at 12:43 AM gmt |
| In response to the question about recruiting, yes, I think it would be helpful to see who is eligible to bid on the other Step 3 recruits. | Mike | Mar. 20th at 3:20 PM gmt |
| Even when you can't sign players in step 3 (because you didn't use RP in step 2), do you still want to see all the teams recruiting each player in step 3? | Allan | Mar. 16th at 10:14 PM gmt |
| And how is it that I've played against Aires for years in several leagues and no one has shared until now that his nickname is "Moose"? | Kevin | Mar. 16th at 12:51 AM gmt |
| With 4 on the road, and all against top 10 teams, Rob. I still fear the Fish! | Kevin | Mar. 16th at 12:51 AM gmt |
| How the mighty have fallen. Since Kevin Martin released his rankings, Antioch has lost 5 out of the last 7 matches. | Rob | Mar. 15th at 1:38 AM gmt |
| We need some sort of bubble watch on the standings tab to make tournament seedings clear | John | Mar. 15th at 12:54 AM gmt |
| Home teams win 53% of points and have a 120-34 (78%) record | John | Mar. 11th at 7:40 PM gmt |
| You are correct Christer. Max of 4 in competitive recruiting. Then additional in the discover recruits process after session 9. Roster for next season maxes out at 20. | Allan | Mar. 7th at 5:35 PM gmt |
| Can we only recruit 4 players? I thought we could have up to 20 players in the squad. It says that from season 2 to season 3 we can add players to the squad. Does it mean that the "extra" recruit should be after competetive signing? | Christer | Mar. 7th at 2:31 PM gmt |
| Is Carlsbad and their 5-star recruiting trying to fly under the radar? | Allan | Mar. 2nd at 1:31 AM gmt |
| Sorry to hear that John. I double checked and don't see RPs saved for step 3 last session. If you run into or see any further questions/issues please let me know. | Allan | Feb. 22nd at 12:59 AM gmt |
| Definitely entered them in this time just so I don't gaslamp myself again | John | Feb. 21st at 7:11 PM gmt |
| Probably just user error, but I could have sworn I bid on players the last recruitment round | John | Feb. 21st at 7:04 PM gmt |
| Now its ok, thanks | Christer | Feb. 13th at 10:45 AM gmt |
| Please try again Christer. | Allan | Feb. 12th at 10:07 PM gmt |
| Al, my orders-page is not working. I can only see my S and L players. | Christer | Feb. 12th at 8:51 PM gmt |
| RECRUITING TIP - Pay attention to the Step 3 "Max Recruiting Points to spend". If you leave it at 1500 (default) and put in RPs higher than 1500...then 1500 is used. | Allan | Feb. 12th at 4:24 PM gmt |
| Trying to keep the names fun for you C-Ball! | Allan | Feb. 12th at 12:03 AM gmt |
| Is there an Abe Vigoda out there!? Fish 4EVA! | Mike | Feb. 10th at 8:17 PM gmt |
| No comment on Abe Vigoda C-Ball? :-) | Allan | Feb. 8th at 11:12 PM gmt |
| Welcome to Martyn Hathaway who takes over the Chihuahuas and becomes our 3rd UK coach. Good luck Martyn! | Allan | Feb. 5th at 12:28 AM gmt |
| SUNDAY UPDATE - Thanks Mike for the kind comments, very glad you are enjoying it (thank Rob for the introduction). Stats page now updated (click stats link)... | Allan | Feb. 1st at 12:26 AM gmt |
| Thanks Al. | Steve | Jan. 31st at 8:59 AM gmt |
| PASSING RATING - It is a subjective rating. 3 = perfect pass (can set any attackers making it harder to guess who to block), 2 is very good, 1 is poor (can maybe only set OH), 0 is typically you got aced. RCV drives this rating. | Allan | Jan. 31st at 12:34 AM gmt |
| In the match reports it says things like "passes a 3". What does this mean? | Steve | Jan. 31st at 12:16 AM gmt |
| Better week for me but I think that's more because I T7'd (?) two of my games. Didn't even know we were playing Al in the thrown game. | Steve | Jan. 31st at 12:15 AM gmt |
| Thanks Christer. Minor add to the text boxscore: In the team totals line you'll see your lineup's "grade average". This way if your team averaged a B and you lost to a C team you can blame something else (like the simulator) for why you | Allan | Jan. 30th at 11:59 PM gmt |
| Looks great Allan | Christer | Jan. 28th at 5:13 PM gmt |
| Monday Update - added a green checkmark in step 2 for players you recruited in step 1. Does that help? | Allan | Jan. 25th at 10:33 PM gmt |
| I wouldn't list other step 1 teams since if they ignore the recruiting visit (step 2) they will not be able to "bid"/commit the recruit in the final step (3). | Allan | Jan. 24th at 1:35 AM gmt |
| Any ideas Mike (or league)? Should I have a column for Step 2 like "Step 1?" and then do a checkmark icon if your team spent the 15-25 RP in step 1? | Allan | Jan. 24th at 1:32 AM gmt |
| Ah, I see. My 2 guys are 20 RP for the upcoming pass, which is lower than the others. I guess it would be good to list which teams were active with which players in the prior stage(s), but it may be tricky to fit. Thank you! | Mike | Jan. 24th at 1:08 AM gmt |
| Good question Mike. What you should see in step 2 is a lower RP Cost for the players you spent RP on in step 1. Do you see that? And, do you (or anyone) have a better way I can highlight that? | Allan | Jan. 24th at 12:21 AM gmt |
| I may be missing something similar here, too. I bid on 2 recruits is Step 1. Does it show somewhere which 2 they were, so I can continue on to visits with them? TY! | Mike | Jan. 24th at 12:13 AM gmt |
| Good question John. I had to add the code to "step 2" (just completed). Please see if it looks better now... | Allan | Jan. 23rd at 11:34 PM gmt |
| Should I see my team's logo next to the players I decided to recruit? Probably user error, but it doesn't seem to have taken | John | Jan. 23rd at 11:22 PM gmt |
| Ms. McIntosh...please send me a couple of screenshots on the issue you are seeing with the Blog. As for Voodoo dolls, please use Illini colors for mine... | Allan | Jan. 23rd at 11:15 PM gmt |
| I can't make a blog entries. I clicked the save blog entries, and it didn't post. Were you trying to silence me? | Micki | Jan. 23rd at 8:14 PM gmt |
| Deadline coming up soon. Please email with any questions. | Allan | Jan. 23rd at 6:56 PM gmt |
| Nice to see I'm top of the rankings. Get used to seeing that in a couple of seasons. | Steve | Jan. 22nd at 12:33 PM gmt |
| New logos are up for New Orleans and San Diego (may take a little time to appear with caching)... | Allan | Jan. 17th at 2:36 PM gmt |
| Welcome to Matt White who takes over at San Diego. New Swordfish logo upcoming... | Allan | Jan. 17th at 2:05 PM gmt |
| Squirrels were 2-0 versus the Chihuahuas last season. | Allan | Jan. 17th at 2:05 PM gmt |
| We start with three games vs Santa Clara. | Christer | Jan. 17th at 11:09 AM gmt |
| Updated rules for season 2 online. Website/DB will be ready on Saturday January 16th... | Allan | Jan. 16th at 1:18 AM gmt |
| John we have 1 definite and maybe a second opening. For anyone that has a person in mind please email me. | Allan | Jan. 4th at 11:36 PM gmt |
| Completed scheduling for the new TMVL Cup/Shield and National Championship/Holyoke Invitational today. Also fixed a new NMR bug. Back to recruiting and then will announce season start soon. | Allan | Jan. 4th at 11:35 PM gmt |
| How many teams are vacant? | John | Jan. 4th at 6:37 PM gmt |
| Welcome to Kevin Martin as he takes over the reigns at New Orleans. | Allan | Jan. 3rd at 11:27 PM gmt |
| Merry Christmas to all! | Allan | Dec. 25th at 10:16 PM gmt |
| We'd all like a second halpin! Congrats Mike | John | Nov. 4th at 7:04 PM gmt |
| Haha, it's a re-election campaign, so they all say: "I'd like a second Halpin'" | Mike | Oct. 25th at 12:58 AM gmt |
| Running matches at around 6pm CT (finishing up soccer league first)... And I did not see THAT sign John...good idea. :-) | Allan | Oct. 24th at 9:46 PM gmt |
| Was it one of those "Everyone needs a Halpin hand" signs you see everywhere? | John | Oct. 24th at 7:14 PM gmt |
| That's a good sign Al! (pun intended!) | Rob | Oct. 11th at 2:59 PM gmt |
| We saw a lot of "Mike Halpin" yard signs driving around Augustana/Rock Island today. Good luck Mike! | Allan | Oct. 11th at 12:59 AM gmt |
| Yes, all four recruits.. except I bid on another weak side hitter instead of the Setter I probably need. Whoops! | Mike | Oct. 6th at 10:49 PM gmt |
| Bananas now have all four recruits (first team to do that) for next season | Allan | Oct. 4th at 12:09 AM gmt |
| Thanks John. Still time for a couple more orders...waiting a few more minutes as I see Daniel on... | Allan | Sep. 26th at 9:14 PM gmt |
| Done in the nick of time... | John | Sep. 26th at 9:06 PM gmt |
| Doing orders now! | John | Sep. 26th at 9:02 PM gmt |
| I think Phil looks more prepared in his picture than you guys are in your picture... | Micki | Sep. 26th at 4:13 PM gmt |
| Of all you managers, Phil (with his community theater FB posts) has the MOST options to change photos. And by change photos I mean me deciding to change his photo. I'm just sayin'... | Allan | Sep. 21st at 12:35 AM gmt |
| You sure about that Phil? ... ... ... | Rob | Sep. 20th at 12:19 AM gmt |
| On the bright side, involvement in this league has made me realize how good I look in my cowboy hat! | Phil | Sep. 13th at 4:23 AM gmt |
| I'm sure you will be fine Phil. I think you are trying to lull us into low expectations with your team ranked #5 and all... | Allan | Sep. 12th at 3:42 PM gmt |
| And the worst part is, Micki understands the game better than me! | Phil | Sep. 12th at 4:15 AM gmt |
| I have managed to destroy my team in three short sessions. | Phil | Sep. 7th at 10:33 PM gmt |
| Okay. I've got it. Thanks. (I assumed too much...MSWL Auction process). | Phil | Sep. 7th at 10:25 PM gmt |
| Yes, I missed this on my first week of bids as well. Finishing second on 2 recruits cost us some solid REC points. | Mike | Sep. 6th at 1:53 PM gmt |
| Phil the problem is you lose RP even if you dont win the lots above. You lose 25% of your bid when not winning and the winning amount if you win. So when lot 5 was evaluated you had lost RPs to afford your bid. | Christer | Sep. 6th at 11:14 AM gmt |
| Can someone explain recruiting? I am losing RP ever session but not getting players. And should I have received #5 this week? | Phil | Sep. 6th at 5:04 AM gmt |
| Ha Ha. You just wait. | Micki | Sep. 5th at 7:32 PM gmt |
| Can the Raccoons get back in the Top 10 this week? | Allan | Sep. 3rd at 11:47 PM gmt |
| Welcome Teutopolis. You'll never know what hit when I go against YOU.(He He) | Micki | Aug. 29th at 5:41 PM gmt |
| Of course, we can't quite spell our own name yet. :) | Mike | Aug. 29th at 4:53 PM gmt |
| Teutopis is here to play this week, Twist and shout! | Mike | Aug. 29th at 4:52 PM gmt |
| Mr. Lopez is interested in wearing a Rabid Biting Mule uniform... | Allan | Aug. 25th at 10:53 PM gmt |
| Ninjas added... | Allan | Aug. 21st at 11:50 PM gmt |
| Hey, Schenectady Squirrels! I bet you are going nuts about our game in match 4. Just so you know, you are gong in the hole in match 4. | Micki | Aug. 19th at 10:29 PM gmt |
| Ms. McIntosh is already circling Match 4 on her calendar vs. Mr. Kallin's Squirrels... | Allan | Aug. 18th at 10:47 PM gmt |
| Ha Ha Ha. Very funny. | Micki | Aug. 17th at 9:07 PM gmt |
| Its nice of them to play in different conferences, so we all get to beat a McIntosh :-) | Christer | Aug. 17th at 11:27 AM gmt |
| Which of the McIntosh's will win their conference? Phil or Micki? | Allan | Aug. 17th at 12:59 AM gmt |
