Hi Guys

Season rollover complete and we now see where everyone has landed.

First off we give a big welcome to our new managers up from level 2.
Fijer, thomastem, oakbark, barschti, bobpenfold, dtwon14, ShockJayy, fonset and noelonfire.
Welcome guys and enjoy your rookie season at level 1. Any questions do not be afraid to ask and any comments you wish to add to this thread, please do so.

We also welcome back wiesengrund and janos from their unlucky season at Elite level. I am sure they are both itching to get going to get back into the fray of the Elite League as quickly as possible and it is our job to make it harder for them so someone else get have a go in the big time.

As usual we say to our new arrivals and a couple of other teams, if you haven't maxed your stadium yet - GET ON WITH IT.

I will not go into much else though it is known that 3 or 4 teams are having some financial problems, but hopefully they will sort themselves out as we get into the new season.

Later in the week I will do my usual Pre-Season Show as we preview each division.
So until then it's Cheers from Bova.

Got unlucky with retirement, 4 out of 5 30 year olds leaving.

My 2 rated 4 stars leaving. Hoping to make up with the drafts. Having the last pick this year I will be happy with 1 long term starter. I'm sure I will be drafting very high next year.

Hello all and welcome to the Pre-Season Show for Season 20.

As usual we start with AC EAST

LM Pirates are managed by Fijer
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 605
Beckos Score 160

Pittsburgh Steelers are managed by steeler8643
1.1 Record - 7 seasons 49-63
ELO Score 719
Beckos Score 190

Vienna Falcons are managed by wiesengrund
1.1 Record - 12 seasons 147-45
Divisional Titles - AC West 8 (seasons 6-13) NC East 1 (season 16) AC East 1 (season 18)
Thunder Bowls - 2 - 1 win 1 loss
Elite League Record - 4 seasons 39-25
ELO Score 1017
Beckos Score 217

Wild Thangs are managed by stizz
1.1 Record - 15 seasons 151-89
Divisional Titles - NC East 3 (seasons 8,11,14) AC East 2 (seasons 16,17)
Thunder Bowls - 1 - 1 loss
Elite League Record - 1 season 4-12
ELO Score 835
Beckos Score 201

Vienna Falcons return to this level on points difference from a final week defeat at the Elite League level. They should expect to control this division much like they did in season 18.
Wild Thangs will do their utmost to stop Vienna Falcons running away with the division and a lot will depend on their divisional match ups.
Pittsburgh Steelers come off two winning seasons, but still in third place. Now they have to find those extra two or three wins to show that they can start to compete for the divisional title.
LM Pirates arrive at this level with a well balanced squad and hoping to make a mark at this level. Their schedule is not quite favourable, but with good work a target of four to five wins should be in the realms of possibility.

AC East Position Prediction
1. Vienna Falcons
2. Wild Thangs
3. Pittsburgh Steelers
4. LM Pirates

We will now take a short break.

Welcome Back to Part Two

We now look at the AC NORTH

Divers are managed by thomastem
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 630
Beckos Score 175

Flow Gaming are managed by microlol
1.1 Record - 8 seasons 76-52
Divisional Titles - AC North 4 (seasons 16-19)
ELO Score 838
Beckos Score 204

Slaughter are managed by HotStove
1.1 Record - 1 season 6-10
ELO Score 563
Beckos Score 145

The SQUALES of Beach are managed by SSNIPER
1.1 Record - 1 season 5-11
ELO Score 535
Beckos Score 140

Flow Gaming should have another comfortable divisional title in their pocket this season, the question is whether they are strong enough to do a better job if they get to the Conference Championship again this season.
Divers arrival at this level is no surprise and the extra season thomastem used at level 2 has put him in a better financial situation than some others that have come up. In this division the task is to close the gap on Flow Gaming and the Divers could be the team to do it in the near future.
Slaughter have settled well into this division, but financial problems are hindering their development. Once that is sorted out the like Divers they can begin to close the gap on Flow Gaming.
The SQUALES of Beach have also settled in well in this division and like the others the aim is to close the gap on Flow Gaming and make this division a very competative one.

AC North Position Prediction
1. Flow Gaming
2. Divers
3. Slaughter
4. The SQUALES of Beach

Now for another break.

and welcome back to the Pre-Season Show

In this segment we will look at AC SOUTH

Kansas City Chiefs are managed by These Days
1.1 Record - 3 seasons 22-26
ELO Score 617
Beckos Score 125

true winners home are managed by retry
1.1 Record - 3 seasons 26-22
ELO Score 680
Beckos Score 186

Ville Vikings are managed by oakbark
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 605
Beckos Score 141

Xu Da are managed by Hongwu
1.1 Record - 6 seasons 53-43
Divisional Titles - AC South 3 (seasons 17-19)
ELO Score 789
Beckos Score 197

Xu Da's dominance of this division should continue in Season 20, however a tougher schedule and improving competition from true winners home does not guarantee this.
true winners home did show last season that they can start to mix it up with the stronger teams and continued improvement like that will mean they will be in a position to dispute Xu Da's domination of this division.
Kansas City Chiefs have got to find out what has gone wrong in the past two seasons and reverse it. Failure to do so will leave them fighting in the relegation zone.
Ville Vikings have took their time to get to this level and now they have to find out whether they belong at this level or it will be an early return to level 2.

AC South Position Prediction
1. Xu Da
2. true winners home
3. Kansas City Chiefs
4. Ville Vikings

Time for another short break.

Here in Part Four we will look at AC WEST and an overview of the AC CONFERENCE.

Firstly the AC WEST

Flerschem Fliegers are managed by barschti
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 558
Beckos Score 155

Inbhir Narann are managed by Bovakian
1.1 Record - 2 seasons 26-6
Divisional Titles - AC West 1 (season 19)
ELO Score 795
Beckos Score 199

Premolo 69ers are managed by LoSpietato
1.1 Record - 2 seasons 7-25
ELO Score 468
Beckos Score 115

Severnside Cardinals are managed by passionatelad
1.1 Record - 10 seasons 86-74
Divisional Titles - AC West 3 (seasons 15,17,18)
ELO Score 798
Beckos Score 187

Inbhir Narann need to maintain the level of play they found last season and take it into the play offs to see if they are good enough to break into the next level.
Severnside Cardinals have to resolve some minor problems that came to light last season and they will be back in the fray for the play offs.
Flerschem Fliegers join this level after a couple of consistent seasons at level 2. Their target is much like LM Pirates, to settle in and get four or five wins which will hopefully keep them out of the relegation battle.
Premolo 69ers face another tough long season trying to get a win here and a win there. Unless they can find consistency this season then they will be in the relegation battle for certain.

AC West Position Prediction
1. Inbhir Narann
2. Severnside Cardinals
3. Flerschem Fliegers
4. Premolo 69ers

AC CONFERENCE
When you look at this conference you wonder if anyone is going to stop the Elite level experienced teams. This season Vienna Falcons return and they still stand head and shoulders above the stronger teams of this level. I am sure the stronger teams like Flow Gaming, Xu Da, Wild Thangs, Inbhir Narann and Severnside Cardinals will be doing their utmost to spoil the Falcons season, but it is very hard to catch wiesengrund off guard. We wait to see, but it is Vienna Flacons for the AC,

I will be back in a while to start looking at the NC Conference Divisions.
