    The darker portion indicates how short of stamina your players are. You might want to check your stamina share of training and see what that is, but 1/2 star shaded is pretty much par as far as I know. You will always have some small amount of tiring toward the end of the game, the question is whether you or your opponent is more tired, that's the salient issue. Used to be the optimum stamina share was believed to be 12 or 13%, but I don't know if that is still the prevailing theory.

    Put up a 374 on a MOTS to get back into 6th place w/ a -0 win. Will train at 50% for a TS boost and train General for this week for a form boost.

    My fans are sending love poems to me too.

    Won 0-2 to finish 4th in my D.V, two points behind second and one ahead of the qually. For the first time in team history, I am staying up for a consecutive season. :D

    Gave up my second GA of the year, but won 5-1 against the 2nd place team.

    14-0 105-2 42pts.

    But still, somehow, I'm going to a f'n series with 4 guys in the 190s for avg. hatstats - which means it's going to be a slug-fest to stay out of a qualifier AGAIN.

    I just hope I don't get screwed like last time. A team that was ahead of me "went bot" but beat me the last weak with his old team. Then, he proceeded to lose to everyone else by big scores - putting me into 5th. Then, HTRF boned me in the qualifier.

    I _need_ to stay up this year. NEEEEED! :eek:

    It doesn't improve my team's fortunes but our series leader for 13 games is no longer the series leader. I dealt them their second loss of the season to allow Universitatea Craiova to leapfrog them on the last day.

    My first encounter I MOTS the game to get 145 Hatstats in a 5-2 losing effort on the road. Second try I went with the Normal attitude (because I didn't want to have to deal with the TS hangover to start next season) and rolled up 176 Hatstats in a 4-2 win. If it were possible to be virtually proud of my virtual players, I would be. OTOH now he's trying to find out where I live so he can strangle me but I can live with that. ;)

    Pulled off 2nd in my first season in one of the more difficult IV divisions. I missed 1st by a point. I have a feeling that might be my highest finish for a while. Now I have to decide whether to sell my overtrained IMs who will be getting pretty expensive.

    Somehow the first place team in my series ended up drawing 0-0 against a very weak opponent, I won 3-0 and ended up in first place.

    I now have a qualifier next Sunday to promote back to IV. I'm in shock!

    Helped cure the hangover anyway! I lied, it didn't cure it. But it numbed some of the pain!

    Is there going to be a BS Cup this season or has that been retired for good?

    I've kind of moved on from running it due mainly to longer cup runs now. So unless someone else steps up to run it, it's retired for the moment.

    Do substitutes get full training for the week?

    If so, theoretically, you could train two sets of trainees in each match. That doesn't seem right.

    From a friend of mine that has studied it, no they don't get full training.

    Did he notice anything about players who were "subbed off"?

    I'm thinking of starting my trainees and throwing on my stud CF to win the game if we are down at half.

    isnt it simply the ratio of minutes played? If you play a winger for 45/90 he'll get half winger training for the week, etc..

    No. It's a useful tool to have when you will lose midfield by a moderate margin, but even with CA, a large midfield loss will usually lead to lost points.

    It's minute-based. A guy who plays 90 or more minutes gets full training. A sub who only plays 60 minutes gets 2/3 training.

    Teams try to take advantage of this in friendlies, playing defense/pressing with cup rules and setting up subs for the start of extra time.

    Did everyone vote in the election for the USA national coach?

    I'm going with Pirats. I hope he wins.

    I'm going with the guy who runs White Bison Stampede in my div III.6. Hoping he'll be distracted in league play :)
