2016 Newton Subdivision

[apache8080]

Nobody would have expected this but with team 16 in 41st seed there could be a potential for a 254, 1241, and 16 alliance on Newton. That is scary good. Do you guys think it would be possible?

Well that actually is possible....it depends on how well teams scouted. We saw how it played out on this very division last year; all we know is Alliance selection will be interesting.

16 was arguably better in 2012 and they were a second pick

Look how that turned out

[RonAyyyyyyyy]

prediction: 1241 picks 254
1519 picks either 5172 or 118
67 gets the other one

1st and 3rd seeds in the finals

Unfortunately it looks like bad hotel WiFi is going to win out again. All the footage is set to upload (I'm uploading Match 100 first, then the rest in order), but I doubt more than 20 or so matches will upload overnight with my current connection. Sorry.

I think the scary thing with the Newton Division is that 125, 16, and 3476 will be 2nd picks on one of those alliances or on all three alliances. My prediction is 16 and 3476 will be picked up by either 7th, 6th, 5th, or 4th seed and then the top 3 will have a chance to get 125.

Maybe I'm missing something, but 118s play seems to be a little lower in quality than I've seen in the past. I think 179 could be picked by 1519 and we'll see a bloody shootout like in Q61, just on both sides of the court.

Don't get me wrong, 118 is definitely one of the best teams out there on Newton.

I watched 118 in their last match today and they looked lost in the opponent's courtyard. I don't know if it was congestion or what (they had them, their 2 partners and a defender there), but they were missing shots all over the place.

118 was fantastic earlier, but their play seems to have dropped off in their last few matches
