It's Crunch Time
As the playoffs near this season heats up!
Great 8
- There was a massive game tonight played between the tornado and one of the league favourites tannum tantrums. This was another close game between the two with the tornado pushing dudehowdy's boys into overtime with a last second 3 pointer. Although unfortunately for them it was tannum who came out victorious in this one, keeping his undefeated status in tact and in a prime position for that safety net of bot cleanup promotion.
- There was also another important game played tonight within the Great 8 with Red Paint getting over NSW Wave Breakers. With Red's for and against and both teams to play the same teams in their final regular season matches; it looks like Red will hold on to third place and be up against the tornado in the first week of the playoffs. While pushing NSW back into fourth seed where they will go up against the most likely undefeated tannum tantrums in their first division III playoff match.
Big 8
While the great 8 seems to be set in stone the big 8 is completely the opposite with both HCA and playoff spots up for grabs!
- As it stands at the moment The Winnerz are sitting on the top of the table (thanks to the Jerries surprise CT victory over Fishy Kangas) with both Fishy Kangas and the Jerries one game back. But things are still in the balance and it is all going to come down to the MASSIVE last match of the regular season between The Winnerz and Fishy Kangas. If Fishy Kangas are able to hang on and retain a higher for and against than myself then this match will decide it all. Deciding who gets HCA and possibly who progresses to the finals.
If The Winnerz are able to grab this one then they hold on to the top seed and have HCA throughout the playoffs except in the final series, if tannum progress. A win by The Winnerz will also most likely push Kanga down to third spot behind Jerries! Meaning they will get no HCA at all throughout the playoffs and it will be an uphill battle for Big 8 favourite.
On the other hand, if the Kangas are able to get the win and have a better for and against then myself it will give them the top spot and the aforementioned HCA and financial benefits associated with having HCA. If this is the case this will leave The Winners in the second seed due to the Jerries for and against.
Either way, there will be a lot riding on this match...
- Not to forgot though that there is still a battle for the final playoff spot between Razzle Dazzles and The Supreme Team. With both teams facing one tough opponent and one easy, it looks like this one is going to come down to for and against. Although are both team aiming for the fourth seed? There is speculation in the BB universe that 5th seed has it's benefits over 4th seed if you are not in contention for the title. Will this have an affect on the outcome of the playoffs? We will have to wait and see...
