I got turned down for a Tr100 vs Tr100 new team game because my FF was too low...

On average a FF of 9 (instead of my 4) would have added only 10,000 to the winnings.


Don't forget that's an extra 50k spent on players/rerolls so you are more likely to beat him too.

I refuse to play coaches with mush higher coach rating then me. And I have geting alot of lip from some of them when I turn them down Sad .
I know I am no good at this game so it's no fun to be outsmarted and outplayed (seams to happen to me alot duuuh).
I do not mind playing higher TR teams tho, since when you have the basic skills block/dodge etc the extra skills the other team might have does't make such a hugh diffrence.

Confused The best way to improve is to play people who are better than you.

Coach ranking is absolutely not telling how good a coach really is. I for once am not interested in ranking or trying to excell at it - my only ranked team are my gobbos. Of course my ranking is lower than it would be if I'd ranked all of my teams (not saying that I would be anywhere near the top - quite the contrary).

And well, what DoubleSkulls said - if you are hanging onto and valueing you coach ranking as important there always is the option to create some unranked teams and play anybody using those.

This is only half true. Someone with a high ranking is going to be a good coach or have insanely good luck. However, someone with a low ranking could either be a bad coach, or could just be one of the many, many people who just don't care at all about ranking, myself included.

"Your coach rating is too high," is one I have heard before.

I gave a reason once for refusing a game with my high elves is that I was pissed at them for rolling 4 1/1's (a game versus Mully btw) on the same drive and I was punishing them by not palying them. Still haven't played them yet either....

I had someone turn me down beacuse my team's Fan Factor was too low. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. Smile

I wont even consider playing a bashy team with a ff less than 5. I'm a greedy pig.

Yeah, it only makes sense. Why risk losing players AND settle for less money?

Last night I was informed that my Dwarf team had too much Block (13 players, and both runners have picked it up).
Hmmmmm....

This is all fine and dandy, but I played an obviously superior team and coach (based on ST and Coach Rating) only to be ridiculed for winning. I was told that it was ridiculous how my terrrible play wouod be allowed to win.

Now I know that a lot of good coaches out there will spend time with a poor coach like myself and give some pointers, but that was just lame.
