2018-19: EPL, Game 1

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Chris S.

Despite my preference for non-quick play soccer games, I decided to give Ultra Quick Soccer a try.

I think I found my go-to system to play the season’s games for teams that I’m not playing in Net Results Soccer, at least for the 2018-19 season (i.e. everyone except Cardiff City).

It takes a few minutes to setup and play a game, with at least 2 die rolls to determine a game score, though some games may require 6 or more.

And there’s an option to determine who actually scored.

I can probably knock off a team’s season schedule in an hour or so.

11 Aug 2018:

Newcastle United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur

Goals: NEW: Perez 22′ TOT: Longstaff (OG) 9′, Eriksen 30′

Not much in the way of stats for this game, like all other quick play games. Which is the point.

Only 341 games to go.

Stay tuned!

1947?

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Chris S.

I was curious about the early days of the San Francisco 49ers, and an internet search later I discovered that they had started in the All-American Football Conference, not the NFL.

So of course I looked around to see if any table top sports games that I owned had any seasons available from the AAFC (1946-1949).

The oldest I could find was the 1947 AAFC season for Grid Iron Wars.

I may play this season using the 49ers and the Buffalo Bills.

Stay tuned!

1971: Giants Replay, Game 15

Posted on January 5, 2020 by Chris S.

While I did play a game from 1917 on New Years Day, I have a few more games from that day (April 17, 1917) to get through before posting the daily scores.

Technically that was the first game I played in 2020, though this is the first result that I’m posting.

Final from Candlestick Park:

Juan Marichal got shelled, and the bullpen didn’t fare any better.

Game 1

Game 2

The Giants split the doubleheader and lose the series against the Cubs.

Next up: The Cardinals are in San Francisco for a 3-game series.

Stay tuned!

Weird II

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Chris S.

All 4 fights that I’ve run in Glory Days for the Scott Bullerwell Invitational have been decided by TKO/KO.

7 of the 15 fights that I played with Title Bout II ended with a TKO/KO.

Hopefully we’ll see some of these Glory Days fights go the distance.

Stay tuned!

When creating the results for the fights using Glory Days Boxing, I found that I would tag TKO under the winner of a fight, and KO under the loser of a fight.

Which makes sense in my brain.

I think.

Hmph.

SBI Fight 4: Klitschko vs. Lewis

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Chris S.

“Some say Lewis retired to avoid this fight.” – Scott Bullerwell

If the results of this table top simulation is any indication, Scott was right.

Klitschko knocks out Lewis at 1:38 in the first round.

I meant to start this fight this morning, before going to work, and continue when I got home. I didn’t think it would be over before finishing the round.
