Now that we have seen the first round of the playoffs we can see who had the easy road and the hard road. |
|
| why is | 10:02 AM |
B playoffs even a consideration? If your division is blanked in A, but wins B, there`s still no claim of strength in that division (see Hook). |

Go Maryland! 4-0!!!
I almost agree with the last post.... but consider this:
1) If the A teams are the `talent`, then the B teams represent the depth of a division.
2) The A teams play against the B teams during the regular season within each division and take win opportunities away from these teams... creating an inherent, distinct separation for the post-season. So if the 1 and 2 seed reside in the same division (hypothetically speaking), it doesn`t necessarily mean that the rest of the teams in that division are `worse` than seeds 3-16.uv.?
3) Maybe I`m biased because I play for a B league cellar team.... but these two arguments make sense to me.... |

| to who`s what | 10:26 AM |
well... but only if the 1 & 2 seeds from the division in the A playoffs finish high in the playoffs & the other seeds from the same division play well in the B playoffs. As all of Hooks teams (including #1 overall) in A are gone, I think the B`s don`t really matter anymore. Now, if a division has both a good representation in A playoffs & B playoffs, then they`re obviously strongest. But a poor A and good B doesn`t make a strong division. |
|
| since this.. | 11:27 AM |
is really an open league, where A and B teams are mixed up.. i think B playoffs should matter. If your division can walk away with both A and B titles then how is that not justification that your division was the strongest? |
|
| something to think about | 12:06 PM |
not that I care about this topic, but getting a trophy means alot to some players so they tank the end of the season to get a high seeding in the B playoffs versus playing in the A and losing first round. Just something to throw out and think about. |

People, please think before you post! The subject of this poll should be, "Which is the Strongest Division." |

If you make the A playoffs in a weak division it shows in the playoffs.A lot of b teams make the a playoffs because of weak division.If your a good team just win.Stop talking and win!!!! |

Good Luck to all the remaning teams in braddock. Wolves, Mutiny, Outlaws, CRISAK, and Union. It could end up being and all braddock final in both divisions. Might be too much to ask for, but you never know. |
|
| LOL | 1:09 PM |
Braddock should be looked at....there are a number of teams still in it from that division. |

Nuff Said! |

| to someting to think about | 12:52 PM |
The B playoffs are not seeded it is a random draw. |
|
| pretty sure | 09:10 AM |
you can call Braddock the best division. With two teams in the final four, and Mutiny beating the #1 seed in the first round. Also, Crisak is moving through the B tournament pretty easily. |
