2. Yo Commish,
My team sucks. How come we have to play a top team in the division? Can u match us up against a team that we can beat that is competitive. Thanks.

As long as the teams are in the same division, it's practically fair game. There are different factors that come into play when it comes to scheduling games. Teams have preferences of what time they want to play and we have to take that into account otherwise the game would be a forfeit. When teams have to play one another, the priority will go to the team that paid first. Sometimes there are games scheduled when players want to play against certain teams and usually those are scheduled on Rivalry Weekend. We try to even out the schedule by having teams play 4 top teams, 4 low teams or just 8 games against teams that are in the middle of the pack.

With more teams on the horizon, the likelihood of teams having the same record is more than likely. When it comes down to it, a team that beats a top ranked team will own a tie-breaker.

3. Aye Hanz,
I have like 38 steals and I averaged 6.3 spg. Now there's that dude who had a total of 40 steals, and he averaged 5.0 spg. How come he gets recognized as the Steals leader when I should be the best defensive player...of all time...?

Since Season 1, we've recognized the player that logged the most in a certain category over a player who averaged the most. There's really no way for us to reward perfect attendance and at the same time you should be helping your team win games anyway. The way I see it, if you play 8 games, you'll log more stats over someone who's not there... so in a way, your attendance is rewarded.

Playoffs are around the corner and if your team hasn't fully paid, your team won't be scheduled anymore games. We're at the point where we are halfway through the season. Please be responsible in paying your fees. The league takes a lot of work and if you think all we do is schedule games and crack jokes on MySpace then I don't know what to say.

From taking stats, game logs, writing, taking pictures, adding to the website, editing Superstar Radio, scheduling games...we TRY to give you the best basketball experience possible. We have to pay for gyms so if your team hasn't fully paid, your team won't be scheduled anymore games.

Lastly, thanks to the players who were willing to be our 'guinea pigs' yesterday. A special thanks to Nikki Aguila, our new on-air personality for collaborating with Elemental Productions on our new feature.

You'll see it here on Thursday.

As you all know, it's standard procedure we delay game logs anytime a team breaks the rules. If a team gets into an altercation, we delay the game logs. If a team adds a ringer, we delay the game logs. Why do we delay it, because we have to pay all our attention on that altercation/situation and eventually the whole league pays for it.

Last week it was Money Inc that added a player (in a game before Still Fly) that wasn't in their original roster. A loss was handed to the team after it was discovered Ninja W. wasn't on the roster.

This week, Elements are on blast. The sad thing is, I explained the same exactly thing on February 26. Are people reading? What's the point of having this website if teams aren't going to read the content. Ironically, players know their stats but they don't know the rules. Was this not big enough?

- LAST DAY TO ADD PLAYER
(REVISED to end of 2nd game)

Here's the beauty of me playing in the league. Last week, USUCK played against Elements so I know exactly who I played against. These two late additions lit us up for a combined 8 three-pointers, "Chris Ayo" and "Dorrell".

A week later, I'm doing stats for Elements in their game against TROY so I check ID on "Paul" who is listed on the roster but I don't recognize him but he presents it to me. Check, I feel moted but I'm doing my job. The game starts and you would think they'd say something about their two other players and so I start to think... "...these two guards aren't the same players that lit me up from downtown last week. There was a big guy and a skinny guy but these guards are scoring are nothing like them."

After doing some research, I figure out these two players aren't the same players from last week. To add fuel to the fire one of them turns out to be Andrew Gulipan.

May 15, 2007
Andrew Gulipan, Foundation – Suspended permanently from all Superstar Basketball League events.

It's one thing to add ringers, it's another to add players that are suspended from the League. I know our rules are stricter than any other league in the area but what more do you expect. In 7 seasons, we've grown this much and there hasn't been a fight. What happened in May 2007 was Andrew charging another player with a forearm and after the suspensions were handed out, it was determined that he would be suspended permanently. There was talk about reinstatement but that would be after a whole year.

It hasn't been a full year yet and this guy tries to hide under someone else's name. Andrew Gulipan isn't "Chris Ayo" or "Dorell". Did this make it worse for him to come back? Damn right it did. How will Elements be punished? The sad part is, I know for a fact their GMs aren't the ones doing the roster moves. The irony in this is the new rule about having a Diamond Division All Star (CRISTIAN GOPEZ) not being allowed to play in your Gold Division team. Elements moved up to Platinum just so they can play with Gopez. With Gopez making those roster moves, did Elements sacrifice that much just for that 1 guy?
