    Is there a week break in between the end of the league and the play-offs? And will energy be reset?

    No and No :D

    Energy will be reset for teams between the playoffs and qualifiers.

    Playoffs in week 15
    Qualifiers in week 16

    Yeah, it's a tough call.

    I decided to train my lads at the last minute today and as a result I'll be leaving them out of my team for this Saturday.

    It's play or train at this stage of the season :rolleyes:

    just out of curiosity, how are the fixtures for playoff semi finals decided, is it random or does it go like 1st place v 4th place, 2nd place V 3rd place?

    I suspect you and your like are the problem <shakes fist>
    Meanwhile, 26-0 up after 18 minutes. Well on track for the 100 point win i'll need to be sure of fourth.

    28-6 down at half time to JB's team.

    Went 'normal' it to conserve for playoffs, and tried a lot of new positional combinations etc.. so was'nt expecting too much anyway. JB has better team, so no point picking up Stupid injuries/ loosing energy ahead of a playoff spot which is already guarenteed.

    Let's hope it doesnt get too crickety :P

    Evidently Cork Coyotes is playing normal as well - a mistake imo, I'd take the away semi and keep my energy as high as possible.

    This is what the amazon servers are for - the site is supposed to spawn more servers when they get stressed. Still needs some work obviously!

    Edit: This is going to be ridiculously close. As it stands, positions 3-6 could all end up with 36 points. On points difference, I'm 30 away from 4th place, but gaining fast against a bot.

    Bah, my fate is in the hand of the rugby gods! I fielded a team of only forwards, 5 props, 5 seconds and the rest are flankers... I'm decimating the poor team 50-0 at half time. Irritating.


    Edit: Just looking at some stats, this is the best I think my team has ever played. My usual hooker has kicked 6 of 10 conversions, not great I know, but his kicking is 5 I think. My opponents have won ZERO scrums, I've gained 550+ metres while the opposition are on 50. I'm absolutely taking them apart. I know they're just a bot squad, but compared to my usual starting line-up this is quite impressive. Who needs backs eh? :P

    End score: 90-0, officially my best score against a bot. I knew the future was forwards.

    After much deliberation i went with WNWIM....really wanted to make sure i have a perfect squad for the playoffs and full TNT!!

    Was a risky move but it seems to be working so far, although it aint over yet!

    Really need the 60 minute energy calculations to turn things my way. 64-0 atm and i'll need at least the hundred.

    I have to be honest, everyone should be playing WNWIM the game before the play-offs (even the two games before if possible). Energy is hugely hugely important.

    ???

    Have you done stats on the importance of energy the way you have done with experience etc?

    No, nothing like that. I do notice that a a lot of matches with strong V weak teams, the difference really starts to show in the last 20. I reckon that's when the energy bump from playing LTNT wears off.
