CHANGES TO THE DBA SITE

Dear DBA fans,
There have been several changes to the web site over the last few week. I will explain each change in case there is any confusion.
First of all, there have been some changes to the team banners on the right side column. Beneath each banner, there is a list of the players on the team. It also includes the position they play and their scoring average so far this season. The reason I added this feature was so that every player can get more recognition individually and so fans can see how well each player is contributing to the team as far as scoring goes. It would be too tedious to include every stat for each player and update it every week, although I do that on a spread sheet from home.
Second, I have added the DBA team records and player records in the right hand side of the web site. This will allow fans to see which teams are the best or the worst at specific statistical data related to their basketball play. Although the records will be updated throughout the season, most of the records, especially team records, can't be changed until the current season is finished. This is because the records are linked to the performance of a team or player over an entire season. Records that are linked to only one game will be updated immediately as records are beaten.
Third, I wanted to get some feedback from fans to see if they still want the season schedule on the site. It is sometimes a hassle for me to update the scores of the games in several different locations. I record them in the season schedule, latest games, in the game summary comments, and in my spreadsheet at home. I was contemplating just leaving the schedule there so fans can refer to it, but discontinue updating the scores there. Let me know what you think.
Finally, let me know if you have any ideas of making the site better or if you see any errors that need to be fixed. I appreciate all the fans of the DBA and without all of you, we wouldn't be able to put on and witness such amazing basketball games.
May the dice roll your way,
Commissioner J Colby Christensen

BEARS DEFEAT COUGARS IN AN EPIC GAME

Cougars 12 11 11 15 49
Bears--- 14 16 13 12 55
.
Yo Yo Dalton and the Bears edge out a victory over Avery Gunderson and the Cougars in the highest combined score in DBA history. By the end of this epic battle, several records were almost beaten by either team. First of all, Yo Yo Dalton scored 32 points which was only 4 shy of Jerry Daines' record of 36. Dalton also made 6 three pointers which was only 1 shy of the record also held by Jerry Daines. The Bears also missed the record of the most points scored in a game at 56 which was ironically held by the Cougars. Devin Marks, for the Bears, tied his own record for the most assists in a game held at 12. The Bears missed the team assist record by only 1 which was shared by the Scorpions and Fire at 18 assists. The Cougars also missed out on a record of their own. As a team, they made 20 two-point field goals which was only 2 shy of the record held by the Bulls last season.
Even though many records were unattained, both these teams have proven that they are going to be dominant forces on the quest to the DBA Championship.
