After the third game, the players were split into ranked groups for the next three games. I was against a Nameless team that had been abandoned by the coach, and taken up by the league organiser \u2013 something I was pleased about, as he\u2019s a fantastic opponent who I played at a Bristol tournament once when he travelled down.<\/p>\n
The game can best be summarised as incredibly lucky. Sam tried a couple of fouls with his Guards, and got them sent off and while I didn\u2019t get away with all of my fouls I did scrape by a bit better. Vassal\u2019s RNG was called into question as not once, but twice in the game I re-rolled to get a 6 which gave me another 6\u2026 and another\u2026 and another. Meanwhile, after a good turn or two punching monkeys (while they hid the ball and waited for a chance) the Nameless team\u2019s Slams lost commitment. Once an opening was made in the three-point zone, the lucky Zees managed to score three times (and incredibly lucky punching Nameless defenders out of the way!) while the aliens only managed three 2-pointers. Some incredibly lucky monkeys managed to get fan checks for successful restraints, three-dashes, and even for tripling dodges (see above about the RNG\u2026)<\/p>\n
