Re: The Official Big3 League Thread

I kind of wish the games were outside. I understand why it's not ideal, though.

I also wish there weren't any 4 point gimmicks though it doesn't look like anyone is seriously using it.

Finally, I hate the first to 60 format. Wish it was to 21, at most.

I don't know anyone that plays to 60 in any court. That **** would have you thrown out the court if you proposed it.

Re: The Official Big3 League Thread

I can't really say I was that entertained. There was some good moments and it's cool seeing some of those older guys out there but for the most part it was pretty meh for me. It definitely feels a bit gimmicky and the quality of play wasn't very good IMO. I can't help but think injuries are going to continue to be an issue. We'll see though.

To 21, that's silly to me.

Games would be over so fast it'd be a blur and they don't want that.

People are good with 60 so I'm not going to harp on it.

I feel the games are too long for 3 on 3.

I feel like if the games were to 21, 1's and 2s, best of 3 setup (cause you know dudes are gonna want that salty runback) it'd be most similiar to how people actually run games (although for 3 on 3 games are usually to 15 around here)

Yeah 15 first game. After that it's 11 where I play.

But I know that's too short for this.

I like the best 2 of 3 idea.

I prefer less points to win because it makes it more intense. But that's me.

Re: The Official Big3 League Thread

Wayyy too soon for me to say the games are too long, especially after the first week.

Yeah I'm just talking. As long as it's exciting, keep them playing.
