14. This season the Luchadors had a vengeance as they made the Ultimini in S29 and wanted to redeem themselves in S30 by winning it all. The team started out strong going 2-1 in the first three games of the season. It was that start that was needed if they wanted to try and make it back to the post season. Then came a rough patch where the team lost three straight games, starting out with a 41-point loss to the Grey Ducks who defeated them in the Ultimini last season. This demoralizing loss kicked off the run where they would lose by a combined four points over the next two games. The coach gave the team a stern talking to, and training and practice increased. The locker room felt to have a different buzz after this point and everyone seemed to want to get the ship back on track. After the skid, the team was sitting at 2-4 but were hopeful to recover. As everyone expected the Luchadors went on a six game winning streak including a huge win over the rival Grey Ducks at home. As the team reached a playoff spot with an 8-4 record, they just needed to win one of the last two games to clinch and be headed back to the post season. In game thirteen of the season, they lost a tough road matchup to the Coyotes and the hopes of another playoff run came down to a matchup with the 3-10 Seawolves. The team was able to get a commanding victory and clinch the third playoff spot.
In the first week of the playoffs, Tijuana were headed to division rival Dallas to face the Birddogs on the road. During the season, these two teams split their decisions, each team winning a game on the road and the total series differing by 2 points in the decisions. The game started out with the Luchadors taking a 13-0 lead early in the second quarter. They continued with this lead into half time with a score of 16-3. But early in the second half, Tijuana put the game away with a Muerto TD and the Birddogs never had a chance. The final score was 26-13 and the Luchadors were headed back to the Ultimini to face the Grey Ducks.
This was the matchup that the Luchadors were looking forward to all season. The game started out poor for the Luchadors with the team getting saftied at the end of the first and giving up a rushing TD early in the second quarter. The team was able to respond with a Waterfalls TD but the extra point was missed leading to a 9-6 lead for the Grey Ducks. Both teams were able to convert another TD in the first half and halftime left us with a score of 16-13 and the Luchadors needed to work slightly harder in the second half to get that victory. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Luchadors were able to tie the game up with a Wells TD at 23 all. Unfortunately, the Grey Ducks were able to score a FG and TD with under 4:30 left in the game and a Waterfalls TD wasn’t enough to overcome leaving the team to lose yet another Ultimini to the Grey Ducks.
30. This is a very interesting idea in sim leagues of allowing every individual to have a vote. I know in the PBE we let HO and GMs make the decisions and the players just have to fall in line. I think input you get from the whole league, the better the league will run. Sometimes positions don’t open up for a long time, so it makes it feel as if your vote or point of view doesn’t matter. All that being said, sometimes having too many cooks in the kitchen can also be a problem. I know that even among GMs, it is hard to come to a decision that everyone likes. Getting more voices involved may just end up making more people unhappy and causing more problems than it was worth. I think that a player’s union would be helpful for contract negotiations and just helping newer or less active users get the most out of there player. I know in the PBE (which is my main league and why I reference them so much), everyone takes the minimum deal, and no player has a say in how the contracts work. You end up being forced to take what is being handed out, which is typically table scraps. If the group had more power, it would be interesting to see what could be done.
