[Zaphod]

I have emailed this to everyone, so if you didn't get one, please let me know.

This is the halfway point of the season and the second pyramid update.  There is a lot of football yet to be played, and no one knows what will happen.  Please keep in mind that no one will move down a tier this year, but you can be removed from the pyramid if you violate the 3 strikes rule.  Please stay active and have fun.  If you team is not performing up to your usual standards, there is always the spoiler role for the remainder of the season and then next year to look forward to.

This is the Tier Rank after 7 weeks.  Don't forget that this is the official ranking that determines if you move up a tier or not.  In year 2, the 8 playoff teams will advance and then 4 at large bids will make the Grandmaster Tier for year 3.

Ouch!  The worst part is I didn't lose anyone to injuries or bye weeks.  My team was just that inconsistent.

[Eliminators]

This is some great stuff.  Thanks a lot Zaphod.  The Pyramid really kicks ###### because of the men in charge.  You guys do a great job.  The reports keep getting better and better...

I find it interesting that as of right now, 6 teams from Horus and 6 form Anubis will advance.  The leagues look pretty balanced head to toe.  

Thanks again for all the hard work and effort that goes into making this leauge as good as it is.  It should get even more intense next year with the GrandMaster tier....

[Zaphod]

It's that kind of unsolicited, gratuitous compliment that will keep you in the Pyramid, regardless of your record.  

But seriously, thanks.  It does make all the hard work and long hours seem worth it, when I hit these message boards and read these comments and see everyone having a lot of fun.

I'm looking for an exciting and competitive end to the season, and an awesome year 3, culminating with our first UFFP Champion.
