The grand finalists in each league have now been determined. Please join us over the break for the review of week 2 of the finals.



Premier League



Team Stowie 1840 defeated TS Heaver 1414



Games played were 46-45 in favour of Stowie



The Cinderalla run continues for Stowie. Since being promoted from Div One last year he has taken all before him and has now reached the grand final after getting the win over Heaver. Stowie had 10 players crack the ton this round and Oladipo led the charge with (216/3), next best were the Beard (216/4) and Tyreke (180/4). For Heaver, it was another consistent season but his team was hit hard by injuries towards the end. The leading scorers for Heaver were DeRozan (200/4), followed by Gallinari (162/4) and Horford (141/3).



Ruddy's Cavaliers 1720 defeated King of Karlos 1474



Games played were 47-43 in favour of Karlos



Ruddy has once again made it to the grand final which is a great effort. He was too good in this matchup against Karlos and will now take on Stowie for the championship. The best players for Ruddy this round were Westbrook (302/4), Gay (211/4) and Favors (170/4). Karlos started off slow this season but came home strong . The leading scorers for Karlos were CP3 (203/3), Leonard (164/3) and Hayward (184/4).



Walesy and Jet both won their minor round finals. They will go up against each other this week and the winner will stay in the Premier League and the loser will be relegated.



Fez has now joined Owen on the relegation list.



Division One
Hall of Famers - 1604 def Biggest Losers - 1429



Top Scorers: FAME - S Curry -212, BL - K Love - 179
Games Played: FAME - 44, BL - 51



The very balanced performance of the Famers was too much for the Losers this week, with the Famers progressing to the Finals. With 9 players scoring over 100 points for the week the Famers just had too many options. GM Brett T has done a great job...

<p style='color: #444444; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fcfcfc;]Let's set the ground rules for RMT, nice and clear.
<p style='color: #444444; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fcfcfc;]1. In order to get feedback on your own team, you must first provide feedback on the teams that have been recently posted. This is the golden rule and is what makes this whole thing work.
<p style='color: #444444; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fcfcfc;]2. If you just post your team without giving any feedback,your post will be deleted.
<p style='color: #444444; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fcfcfc;]3. Please refrain from commenting on teams that have been posted by others that have not followed the golden rule.
<p style='color: #444444; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fcfcfc;]4. Keep it civil. Constructive criticism is fine. But there is a line and please don't cross it.
<p style='color: #444444; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fcfcfc;]To kick things off, I'll put my current SC team up for discussion.

The minor round is now over and the finals are upon us. Please read over for the reviews.



Premier League



The Ticking Time Bomb (6-10) 1562 defeated The Jug O Naughts (5-11) 1245



Games played were 45-42 in favour of the Time Bomb



Both teams close a disappointing minor round with The Ticking Time Bomb posting a consolation victory this round. The Time Bomb is safe from relegation due to the 3rd best points for in the league while it looks like JON will be safe from relegation as well. This round the best player for Time Bomb was Ibaka (230/5) while for JON it was Pau Gasol with (215/4).



King of Karlos (9-7) 1416 defeated Too Seriouseses (0-16) 1221



Games played were 43-38 in favour of Karlos.



This was the last official game in the Premier League for Walesy as he has now been relegated to Div One next season. His team looked scary on paper at the start of the year but due to a number of injuries and calculated risks his team never lived up to their potential. Karlos was able to post a comfortable win this round and is looking ahead to round one of the finals. CP3 was the best for Karlos this round with (214/4) and best for Walesy was Durant (169/3).



Wade Machine (8-8) 1658 defeated Ruddy's Cavaliers (11-5) 1393



Games played were 46-38 in favour of Wade Machine



Wade Machine have come home like a train in the 2nd half of the season and posted another win this over Ruddy. Ruddy finished top in his conference and has the week off in the 1st round of the finals. The leading scored for Wade Machine this round was Jordan (255/4) while the best for Ruddy was Westbrook with a massive (337/5).



Straight up Ballin (6-10) 1343 defeated Run TMC (5-11) 1174



Games played were 45-32 in favour of Straight Up Ballin



Things never really clicked for Run TMC this season and it now looks like Owen will be relegated to Div One. Straight Up Ballin is also in danger of being relegated and will...

The first round of the finals have come and gone. Please read over for the reviews.



Premier League



TS Heaver 1450 defeated Westside Hardcore 1348



Games played were 47-44 in favour of Heaver



This match was very close heading into the last day but Heaver was able to score 216 to 131 on the last day to claim the win. Heaver had 9 players break the ton this round and were led by Burke (159/4), Gallinari (140/4) and Turner (134/4). Westside have had a very consistent season but with this loss they bow out of the finals. KlayThompson was the best with (185/4), next best were Ariza (169/4) and Len (134/4).




King of Karlos 1642 defeated Hersey Hawkins Athletic Club 1289



Games played were 48-41 in favour of Karlos



Karlos took full advantage of a favourable schedule and was able to post a very comfortable win over HHAC. CP3 did most of the damage with (277/4), followed by Leonard (195/4) and Hassanity (194/4). HHAC had only lost 3 games in the minor round but unfortunately came up against a red hot Karlos this week. The best players for HHAC were Marc Gasol (159/4), Matthews (159/3) and Conley (127/4).



Minor round finals



Both Walesy, Dan and Jet were able to post victories in the first round of the minor finals. Walesy needs to win all 3 of his minor finals to avoid relegation.



With Owen losing it means that he is relegated to Div One.



Division One



Biggest Losers - 1480 def The Raptors - 1369



Top Scorers: BL - K Love - 189, RAP - D Jordan - 209
Games Played: BL - 46, RAP - 46
With both teams finishing the regular season on a 5-game winning streak, one team was going to have their run ended in this match-up and The Raptors were that team. After finishing with the 3rd seed The Raptors would be disappointed to be bailed out of the playoffs in week 1 but can take solace in the fact they can still be promoted if the...

Welcome back everybody, hope you had good break.
It's still February, but for those of us who take it seriously the time has come to start planning our 2015 SC team. For me this meant logging into the SC website and attempting my first crack at selecting 30 players. After about my fifth selection, I realised that I needed a plan (because clearly I didn't currently have one).
Should I load up on elite midfielders, or make use of the extended 11-slot MID line to load up on rookie-priced players instead?
Set-and-forget ruck pariing, or mid-priced madness?
I needed to do some research.
Some Technical Stuff
The starting salaries for 2015 are (mostly) based on the 2014 SC average for each player, where each point-per-game (ppg) results in $5,375 worth of starting price. For example, a player who averaged exactly 96 last year (such as Paul Chapman) is priced at $516,000 for 2015.
There are exceptions of course. New draftees have been arbitrarily assigned a starting price, with senior-listed players starting from $117,300 (or an expected average of 21.8 ppg) and rookie-listed players starting from $102,400. First round draft picks attracted an additional premium starting with Laverde at $127k and adding $5k for each previous draft pick all the way up to McCartin at the top end of town on $222k. The difference being that McCartin is initially priced as a player who will score 41 ppg whereas Laverde is priced as a player who will score 24 ppg.
Then there also exceptions for players who missed a lot of games during 2014, or maybe even all of 2014. The way this has been determined is arbitrary in every sense, because not every injured player got a discount and not every discounted player received the same level of discount. Discounts range from 70% (Cameron Delaney, who played no games in 2014) to 10% (applied to a group of 20 players including Ben Reid (4 games), Daniel Wells (7 games) and Tom Clurey (1 game)). Where a discount was applied for a given...

Ok peeps, TS has officially been rolled over for the 2015 season.

Stats, Draft Planner, MyTeams and the Ticker should all be happy and active right now.

Let me know if you spot anything broken- and we'll start up the RMT threads just in time for the NAB.

In 2015, TooSerious will be running SC leagues again. This time though, there will be a rankings system to see who gets into each SC league. This should allow fairer leagues and hopefully get one or two into the Top 20 Leagues for the whole of SC. If you enter, you will be playing against players of the same ability who all take it 'Tooseriously' - none of those teams who are set up for the first round then forgotten about.

How to enter



Post your best ranking from the past3Supercoach years (2012, 2013 or 2014)below in the comments. If you don't know it, take a guess, and it will be rounded to the nearest 500 places (if you post 'ranking around 2300' then you will be allocated a league based on a ranking of 2500). Another place to check may be the app from that year, the apps are never updated.

The leagues will be allocated based on ranking, so the best 18 rankings play each other, then the second best, then the third, and so on. Make sure you keep one league free - this year you can join 10.

Details



I'm not sure how many leagues we will get, but I would like to have one person from each league to set it up and ensure the right people get in. If you could do this, please include that in your comment below.

People will have until March 1 12am to post their rankings and get...

<p style='color: #434343; margin-bottom: 0px;]Note: don't abuse this. If you actually can't be bothered entering in a team most weeks please let us know so we can find a coach who does want to play. We don't mind, it's better for everyone this way.

<p style='color: #434343; margin-bottom: 0px;]Also, in the unlikely event that SCSS is somehow lost to the world of ORFFL I suggest we get a proxy to draft for him while we work out what to do with his team in the month of March. Personally I propose Chris88 from the FA, as it seems a pretty logical fit if he's willing.
<p style='color: #434343; margin-bottom: 0px;]
<p style='color: #434343; margin-bottom: 0px;]Also again, EV if you'd like to hand over a list and nominate a proxy for to draft for you during the period of 3rd-10th March, there are many fine candidates in the FA and the wider TS community. Same goes for you Licky, although I kind of imagine you're hell bent on restructuring your own list...
