Thanks Bova - appreciate your work

How went your Draft?

My 1st round choice is capped - maybe it wans't that smart decision to gamble on him (was Nr. 2 on my board :wall

But my 2nd round pick worked out quite well:
STR red @48
SPE @42 not even yellow
INT 46
Exp 2,5
TW 42
Actually he's already 22 years old but it'll work for hopefully 10 seasons to come.

My first round was a 22 year old, but he was probably one of the best of the secondary selection and boosts a position I was short on. My 2nd is a young QB who will start as 3rd choice, but could be developed for a starter position by the time my senior QB is up for retirement.

Hello and welcome to the Pre-Season Show and our look at the NC Conference.

It this part of the show we will take a look at the NC EAST

Bobby Dazzlers are managed by bobpenfold
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 563
Beckos Score 131

Budapest Wolves are managed by janos
1.1 Record - 16 seasons 184-72
Divisional Titles - AC South 3 (seasons 13,15,16) NC East 1 (season 18)
Thunder Bowls - 2 1 win 1 loss
Elite League Record - 2 seasons 7-25
ELO Score 877
Beckos Score 212

Dtown Muckdogs are managed by dtown14
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 493
Beckos Score 119

Missouri Red Wloves are managed by ShockJayy
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 574
Beckos Score 147

Budapest Wloves return to this level from a second unsuccessful jaunt into the Elite League to find a division that is totally revamped. As long as janos does nothing silly then this season should be a walk in the park.
Missouri Red Wolves appear to be the strongest of the three rookies in this division and should be favoured for second place, however this does not mean that they will avoid being caught up in the relegation battle.
Bobby Dazzlers and Dtown Muckdogs will just have to try their best and enjoy their rookie season at this level, but I feel neither are strong enough yet to stay at this level.

NC East Position Prediction
1. Budapest Wolves
2. Missouri Red Wolves
3. Bobby Dazzlers
4. Dtown Muckdogs

Now for another short break

Welcome back. We now move onto NC NORTH

Amersfoort Alligators are managed by Cheesehead
1.1 Record - 1 season 7-9
ELO Score 594
Beckos Score 143

Andorre Skyhawks are managed by fonset
1.1 Record - Rookie Sesason
ELO Score 607
Beckos Score 163

lionwings are managed by lionwings1
1.1 Record - 5 seasons 27-53
ELO Score 671
Beckos Score 161

salamander assassins are managed by andrakh
1.1 Record - 10 seasons 103-57
Divisional Titles - NC North 4 (seasons 16-19)
ELO Score 832
Beckos Score 206

salamander assassins still await decent competition in this division and season 20 will be no exception. They are far too strong for their divisional opponents.
Andorre Skyhawks come into this division and level with consistent development at level 2. They are strong enough to become the number two team in this division, now they have get out there and get the results to do it.
lionwings have been here awhile, but the good form they had shown two seasons ago appears to have disappeared and if they cannot turn it round this could be a very difficult season for them.
Amersfoort Alligators has a reasonable rookie season, but questions are there to whether they are strong and good enough to go further or are they going to be dragged into the relegation battle.

NC North Position Prediction
1. salamander assassins
2. Andorre Skyhawks
3. lionwings
4. Amersfoort Alligators

Time for another break.

My 1st round was a 23yo CB, SPE red at 48.8, 45.5 TW and 2.5 exp
And my 2nd round has been a 20yo DL, STR red at 46.6, 40.2 SPE without cap warning, 45.6 TW but 1.5 exp
We'll see what I got in the 3rd

3rd worked quite well, actually no immidiate help but maybe in the future

DL
STR yellow @ 41,7
SPE no caps @ 40,3
3 Exp
21 years old

hopefully SPE caps late and STR goes up to 45. If it is so I say welcome to my future DE.

Generally I'm quite OK with my picks even that was maybe the weakest class since I joined. One Starter at MLB, one DT Prospect (not quite sure what I will do with him) and at least the chance to get another starter.

How worked it for you?

Now back to the Pre-Season Show.

We now visit the NC SOUTH

Basterds are managed by jetto
1.1 Record - 2 seasons 19-13
ELO Score 661
Beckos Score 177

Bogan Galaxy are managed by noelonfire
1.1 Record - Rookie Season
ELO Score 628
Beckos Score 173

Deflators are managed by IMGregory
1.1 Record - 1 season 8-8
ELO Score 627
Beckos Score 179

Tortoras Patriots are managed by JonatanRiver
1.1 Record - 14 seasons 111-113
Divisional Titles - NC South 2 (seasons 18,19)
ELO Score 813
Beckos Score 193

Tortoras Patriots should continue to dominate this division for season 20, but they should be aware that the division now has three other teams who are eager to get to the next level.
Basterds come off a very productive season, but they cannot rest of their laurels as closing the gap on Tortoras Patriots is now more difficult with the strength of the other members of the division being a lot closer.
Bogan Galaxy are another of our rookie teams that come to this level with almost everything in place to be a success and I feel that they will run Basterds close for second place.
Deflators should not be left out of the calculation for second place after a break even rookie season they have shown they have the capability to compete at this level and this is what is going to make this division interesting.

NC South Position Prediction
1. Totoras Patriots
2. Basterds
3. Bogan Galaxy
4. Deflators

We will now go for one final short break.

Welcome back to the final part of the Pre-Season Show

In this part of the show we will firstly to a look at NC WEST

Girona Atzugavers are managed by Sergi2002
1.1 Record - 4 seasons 45-19
Divisional Titles - NC West (seasons 17,18)
ELO Score 803
Bevkos Score 202

Hucknall Broncos are managed by JimBob
1.1 Record - 1 season 12-4
Divisional Titles - NC West 1 (season 19)
ELO Score 720
Beckos Score 199

lionwings are managed by lionwing
1.1 record - 6 seasons 29-67
ELO SCore 626
Beckos Score 168

Nutwood Squirrels are managed by nutwood
1.1 Record - 5 seasons 26-54
ELO Score 569
Beckos Score 104

Hucknall Broncos were expected to do well last season, but no one expected them to win the division. Now they have to show it was not a flash in the pan.
Girona Atzugavers were taken by surprise by their new rivals last season. This time they have got to concentrate from the start to get back their divisional title.
lionwings' schedule gives them a chance to improve on last seasons record, however they could be just as easily pulled into the relegation battle.
Nutwood Squirrels survived a relegation play off match last season and unless there is some significant improvement this season then that play off win was just a stay of execution.

NC West Position Prediction
1. Hucknall Broncos
2. Girona Atzugavers
3. lionwings
4. Nutwood Squirrels

NC CONFERENCE
The last time Budapest Wolves returned to this level I expected them to have a difficult time and they proved me wrong. This time should be easier as it is up to the other stronger teams, like salamander assassins, Totoras Patriots, Hucknall Broncos and Girona Atzugavers, to stop them progressing to another meeting with Vienna Falcons in Thunder Bowl 20.

To complete the Pre-Season Show we will have a look at Thunder's representatives in the Elite League.

Die Verdammten are managed by Lawinenhund
Elite League Record - 1 season 3-13
1.1 Record - 10 seasons 111-49
Divisional Titles - AC East 1 (season 19)
Thunder Bowls - 2 - 1 win 1 loss
ELO Score 898
Beckos Score 221

Landru Athletics are managed by notsch
Elite League Record - 6 seasons 71-25
Divisional Titles - 4 (seasons 14-17)
1.1 Record - 12 seasons 171-21
Divisional Titles - AC South 12 (seasons 2-13)
Thunder Bowls - 9 - 6 wins 3 losses
ELO Score 1051
Beckos Score 229

SimKonville Fraggles are managed by SimKon
Elite League Record - 3 seasons 20-28
1.1 Record - 9 seasons 125-19
Divisional Titles - NC West 5 (seasons 9-13) NC East 3 (seasons 15,17,19)
Thunder Bowls - 3 - 1 win 2 losses
ELO Score 948
Beckos Score 222

Styrian Bears are managed by Buddy Ryan
Elite League Record - 5 seasons 58-22
Divisional Titles - 2 (seasons 18,19)
Elite League Bowl - 1 - 1 win
1.1 Record - 8 seasons 115-13
Divisional Titles - NC South 7 (seasons 7-13) AC East 1 (season 15)
Thunder Bowls - 6 - 5 wins 1 loss
ELO SCore 1107
Beckos Score 240

Our Elite League representatives should still see Styrian Bears continue their recent control of the division. Landru Athletics will find it even harder than last season to maintain the unbroken presence at this level as both Die Verdammten and SimKonville Fraggles are as good as Vienna Falcons were last season and notsch knows how close that was.

Finally I wish you all good luck in Season 20 and hopefully we are getting close to having more than enough committed managers to make Thunder 1.1 a more interesting and challenging league that can move forward again.
