Any chance you could update the other thread with end of season scores? It would be very helpful as we start to write the wiki article for this APL.

andy · #6 05-02-2011, 12:05 AM

2 games to be played still.

trendy11one · #7 05-06-2011, 12:10 AM

How many rounds we will play this week?

andy · #8 05-06-2011, 12:17 AM

First, second and first of the loser bracket probably.

We are trying to acomodate the USA vs World tbd match so it might change.

First two rounds should also be bo3.

andy · #9 05-06-2011, 03:36 PM

POSTED SCHEDULES.

[Y] · #10 05-06-2011, 04:14 PM

I thought we were having a one week break between the season and the playoffs.

If not, we should.

For what reason

Pieface · #14 05-06-2011, 06:57 PM

Many people can't make it this weekend because this week, weekend, and next week are the SATs and AP exams, the most widely taken and prepared for standardized tests in the country. Since there's a huge amount of people from this community in high school this weekend is generally pretty bad.

Also, there's generally been a week off between the regular season and the playoffs in the past. I don't see why we'd change it now.

This is basically why.

We have had apl on SAT weekends before, and they are on Saturday not Sunday. There is no reason for a week off.

this, ill be able to take my tests and play apl just fine

York · #18 05-06-2011, 07:58 PM

KLF and PR/51, any chance we can push our games an hour back?

evilarsenal · #19 05-06-2011, 08:30 PM

that means pushing every other game an hour back, just play at the time given, its not late or early

Isn't that basically what York asked to do? Since we're playing the first two matches, those are the only teams affected by the push back. Who else would be annoyed at this?

Or am I just not understanding your point?

Edit:

different topic:
still think we should have a week break. Is the addiction really that bad that you need to play alti so much? I don't see any reason why not to push it back.. Plus, if you haven't noticed, AP exams aren't just on saturdays like SATs, they're throughout the week, giving us only the weekend and any free time during the week before we have to take it to study.

Annnndddd it's mothers day

sunshineduck · #21 05-06-2011, 09:26 PM

there are two euro ball tourneys waiting for APL to finish up, and we've only played one APL match in what would be three weeks if we skip this week as well. the amount of high schoolers taking AP exams playing in this APL isn't as large as you seem to be implying when taken in grand context, and is two hours tops out of early-afternoon sunday really going to disrupt your study schedule that much?

who even does something special on mother's day lunch anyway? just from the people i talk to, most of them just do breakfast or an expensive-ass dinner. not sure if i'm off-base there though.

blln4lyf · #22 05-06-2011, 10:20 PM

Skip a week imo

Kuja900 · #23 05-07-2011, 02:28 AM

I find it funny that the people asking for a delay resort to trying to use SATs as an excuse instead of just mentioning how Sunday was Mother's day lol. I just learned that myself I am less opposed to pushing it back a week now even though we have played through Mothers day in the past.

SSD doesn't love his mother.

Wok3N^ · #25 05-07-2011, 04:20 AM

I will get more of a consensus from the clans tomorrow and will let you all know whether or not it will be pushed back. If it is however, there will be an extra round the following week to ensure that we get more games in.

sounds like a fair compromise

VeRiTaS · #27 05-07-2011, 12:22 PM

Imo we could push it back , as many BB are also for the push ... And in replacement we can have a 1 day tourney again ...

blln4lyf · #28 05-07-2011, 04:20 PM

Your mother's must be bitches.

Each and every one of them

Kuja900 · #30 05-07-2011, 08:48 PM

Can we get a confirmation on if or if not the games are tomorrow, teams need to tell their players what is going on.

andy · #31 05-07-2011, 10:06 PM

I dont know which teams can make the games..

Ribilla · #32 05-07-2011, 10:34 PM

IL definitely can't field it's preferred team.

Kuja900 · #33 05-07-2011, 10:37 PM

fLb doesn't really care, whatever is most convenient for the majority is fine.

Wok3N^ · #34 05-07-2011, 11:16 PM

We are pushing APL back to the following week. The general consensus is this wish and I will meet it demands. However, some teams seem that they could have played but did not have their "preferred 5". You guys all better have 5 next week...

Wok3N^ · #35 05-08-2011, 02:27 AM

bumping to ensure the viewing of the change.

thats the point of having a roster max over 15, so people show up, just because people don't have their preferred 5 means that "OH 1 player cant come, we cant play tomorrow" is dumb, if ur gonna push it back atleast give a better reason

andy · #37 05-08-2011, 03:35 AM

mothers day is the reason although people couldve played...

Jrathje · #38 05-08-2011, 03:52 AM

Just checking, would it be cheating if I mailed some of my prescription performance enhancing drugs to take before our matches?

Kuja900 · #39 05-08-2011, 04:40 AM

Go for it.
