My final team for the Box Trophy is a very tiny, 350k / 530k snotling team. Just now I notice the (+/- 50 k) in brackets after that number.

https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=1114364.

For 2-3 weeks, these dirty cheaters can't seem to get drawn. I'm ignorant as to the box pairing formula, but if they need another team in the draw to be 580 or less, I don't think we're going to get a single match.

Pre-Black Box, Comp Div used to treat snotlings as a 1000k team for allowing matches, but I fear that is not the case here in Black Box.

Should I ask, can I ask to be UNreadied so that I might spend treasury and get my TV up to something less star-player-cheaty, and more playable? It does not count as 1000k any more, does it?

Yeah I think the same happened to a bunch of other black box snotlings.

I think there is a hard cap of 350 TV difference for matches.

I don't know why general information about the matchmaking houserules of the Competitive division isn't publically available somewhere, imo coaches should know how it works.

If say all other teams are 900+, why *would* your team get matched?

I tried Ogres a couple times at the start of [C] div
I sucked with them, and both times got some ogres taken out so the teams dropped to 520k / 590k, so I knew I wouldn't get games and it was a waste of time trying to queue with them, so retired them

I think you're in a similar situation, except you've done it trying to get morgflem, and now have spoiled the trophy run too

You might get a game if you keep trying forever, but you won't get 15 games before BBT7 is over even if you activate 24/7

So yea, it is a bad thing sorry Smile

you could enter a rumble with them, game 1 the team gets unreadied post game, win or lose you still can buy stuff and carry on

RUMBLE.. is that legit with a Box Trophy team? I will enter, for sure.

*edit*

Oh, a Royal Rookie Rumble? My brain immediatly thought a BRAWL. Is BRAWL still a thing?

If not, a Rookie Rumble with ritious rookies might be the only option.

Yes, a Royal Rookie Rumble (brawls are currently on hiatus but we managed to kickoff a couple instant smacks)

Gone are the days where you could morgflem there with them, though

But you could still take rookies, 3 bribes, a wizard, a biased ref, maybe bugman?

That should even leave space for a mercenary fungus flinga

And then for game 2 you can splash out 500k in carts and apo and positionals, to buff your TV
