I take the Blackbox matchups as a commissioner deciding matches. So he figures give the better coach a slightly tougher match so that the fans enjoy the game more. Just want to throw out the suggestion of taking in consideration the accepting of these matches with the TS disadvantage for an even match every once in a while. In other words the commissioner can throw us a bone after so many matches with a disadvantage. Overall I am still quite happy, mainly because I can get a matchup in 5 minutes.
These are my matches with the TS difference after handicaps.
My TS Score (Me- Them)
-10 TS 0-0
-10 TS 1-1
0 TS 1-1
-11 TS 2-0
-5 TS 1-1
+8 TS 2-0
-9 TS 1-2
+3 TS 2-0
-6 TS 0-3
-3 TS 1-1 |

Because of the difficulties in finding perfect matchups every time, I expect you do get thrown a bone once in a while. Extraordinary coaches with high winning percentages may not see many of these. |

On average, -3.7TS. Pretty close to even. |

I'm finding the +20/30 TS disadvantage a real pain when Khemri turn up with 3+ DP. Maybe a TS cap of +20 will be fairer. And a +0 TS cap when Khemri are in the mix.... |

There is supposed to be a total TS cap of 15, with handicaps valued at 5TS each. If you are facing -30TS, that might be a bug. Do you have an example? |

Where is information on how black box works? Do you just activate your team and wait or what? |

Step 1. Go to the blackbox channel.
Step 2. 5 minutes before the draw is made Bowlbot tells you to activate (if your in the BB channel). Do that.
Step 3. Wait 5 minutes,
Step 4. Wait and see what team you get paired up against.
Step 5. Play
Step 6. Throw your destroyed team and make a new one. Lather, rinse, repeat until happy! |

overcoming 20 TS disadvantage with DE against orcs at TS 200 is actually harder than with a rookie team. |

Ash: I honestly disagree. TS200 DE vs TS220 orcs stand a better shot at winning that single game than rookie TS100 DE vs TS120 orcs, that have 12 guys, a DP and some guard already while you have no apo. |
