Parity 2015-2016 predictions

May as well get this started... my first prediction is that Parity league is what causes the site to shut down when Winter registration opens. That is all.

I can only click refresh so many times a second. Amos, you're going to have to finally pull your weight around here.

Don't you worry, Al. I've been practicing my refresh skills on last year's registration page since May. I got this.

Don't forget to pre-sign the dog waiver. Keep Fido under control when you take him to the dome. 

I've signed the Dog Waiver and the Kid Waiver. As long as you sign the Dumb Husband Waiver, we can attend parity league as a family.

Are we going to see a return of "Kindha's disappointments" ? Or is Kindha going to captain "Al's a disappoint" this year?

I'm hoping Al's Exaggerations will be playing Kindha's Disappointments in the finals for the Parity Cup, frankly.

I predict that Kindha's only drop this season is Al as a teammate. 

Snap!

In WAY MORE SERIOUS news: Don't forget to sign your dog waiver.

After last night's mad rush to register... I wonder if we can get a list from OCUA for who managed to register in what order. I want to know at least who won the refresh war.

I could get you that information, but I think part of the joy of Parity is the surprise of the rosters.

I can at least confirm that you won the refresh war.

I'd like to thank The Academy and I'm going to Disney Land!

So you are giving up your spot in the league then?

No I'm obviously going to show up for one week, try to hit 300k and then ride that 'average' out for 4 weeks while I'm away so I come back near 2 million :D

So while we know who the biggest draft bust will be; who'll be second? And who in the Sullivan-Price household?

If you're referring to yourself as the biggest draft bust Geofford... we know your game. You help move the disc on O and shut down on D... which is little money. Makes you potentially best value per dollar in the league.

Stop it... nobody plays like that in league.

Somehow Sina was able to draft Amos, Chow, and Khalid. This SACK line will score all the goals and get all the D's.

The other GM's were honestly asleep at the switch on that one.

Amos and Chow together on one team, straignt out of the draft. Definitely some dangerous drivers on the GM squad, sleeping at the wheel. Tsk! Tsk! And they let Sina pull off this coup?? The first trade window will be veeeery interesting.

Khalid, who ended up being a standout on Shrike all year and showed well at Nats against very good teams (think, Furious) is arguably worse to deal with. And it turns out that an unknown girl in the draft went much later than she should have, because she is actually a Queens player who was crushin' it at CUUC.

I'll note this player is also on Sina's team.

Apparently Sina picked up Ashlin Kelly too. Where was anybody to stop him? Good thing this can only go on for three weeks tops.

While Sina my have "won" the draft, the real winners will be teams that buit a core group of players that can survive the upcoming craziness of roster turnover. So assuming each team will be able to keep their core together (this is a big assumption since GMs have less power this year), I think the real winners of the draft are the teams with leadery/coachy type players like Justine, Sullivan, Megan-Rob combo, Geofford etc... (assuming their captains are smart enough to listen to them).

I, unfortunately, am not playing Parity and have elected to play Thursday Comp instead so please keep me informed of all the latest Parity noncense here or on the Face Book.

I could potentially give up a Steve Chow for a player who lives in centretown and has a car to drive me to games. Skill optional. My mad trade strategies begin and its not even playoff time.

You know Amos lives near you and has access to a car right?!?!  Why trade you're second best Asian and dismantle City Frisbee this early in the season?

Sina only likes borrowing stuff from me. I think he's trying to shy away from having an asian drive him around. #stereotypes

Please can someone drive Sina! If he's not there that's more PT for Khalid, Chow and Amos. No one wants that.

 

Not only does she dish out hammers at will, she also dishes zingers! #WWJD (Who Would Justine Dis)

pew, pew pew

#shotfired

Also I'm disappointed that Seb won't be returning with his masterful "attract a matchup I can abuse" strategy. Guess Bush will have to carry that torch ;)

Bush can't attract anything, let alone favorable matchups.

Given that there will (hypothetically) be fewer emails to send between GMs this year, members of Kindha's Ongoing Disappointments have been stepping up their intra-team smack talk. There have been thirteen emails so far; most have been trying to determine who is the elder statesman cutter in need of being uncovered in the play I drew up.

I think Stan is available...

As Bush and I are part of the official Parity Trades steering committee, I can assure you we take bribes, Al.
