Im a little un-clear, did these teams strictly play against each other or did they play teams who had rated players?

[twl221]

They all had the same roster, 20 Joe Randoms, all with zero in every attribute.

Oh, are You trying to show something or just doing this for fun?

[twl221]

I was bored. Just had the idea and went for it to see what would happen.
