Re: Am I the only one that thinks that Breakaway is a game for the powerhouse vets?

By Week 3 last year:
67: Undefeated Champions at 1 event
217: Champions at 1 event
25: Off year
148: Champions at 1 event
254: Champions at 1 event
1114: Some pesky midwestereners got in the way.

By week 3 in 2008:
67: Not yet!
217: Champions at 2 events
25: Champions at 1 event
148: Champions at 1 event
254: Champions at 1 event
1114: Champions at 1 event

Considering you picked the powerhouse teams that did well to be on your list (confirmation bias), that's not a bad record in previous years. Powerhouse teams doing well isn't exclusive to Breakaway.

If you want to think positively, there are tons of teams in their breakout year this year. 1732 has always been competitive, but they won TWO back to back events this year. 2345's KC alliance won an event over 1625 and 16. 971 once again hit the ground running this year. I didn't even know who 2016 was until this year. 1676 has won two events in dominant fashion. That's a lot of new talent!
