The folks in the gray shaded blocks are in the playoffs. The top team in each Division gets a Bye Week to “rest” their players while the next two in line play this weekend to see who gets to play the top seed next week for the Division Championship. I think I’m going to have to get lucky to win the next three weeks and be a repeat League Champion.
Here is the text of the email I sent out to the league owners today:
All,
We had an exciting last weekend of the season, 4 teams had already clinched playoff spots, but there were 5 teams fighting for the last two openings.In the East Division the Legion of Boom and the Swamp Rats SR had the same record and they were playing each other, so the winner was guaranteed entry into the playoffs. Naturally the game ended in a tie… But by virtue of winning the earlier match up, the Boomers punched their ticket to the post season and the Rats were left to scurry back into the alley from which they came until next year.
In the West Division the top two teams were already in the playoffs and the bottom team was not going to get in no matter what, so that left three teams with their post season hopes on the line. If Team Gregory won they would be in no matter what the other two did, so naturally they lost. With the Gregories loss had Team Wrangler won, they would have been in, so naturally they lost (by one point.) The Meatheads needed a win to advance and by some fluke they did win, but it wasn’t enough. The Meaty Boys ended up with the same record as Team Gregory, but because of their head to head record, Team Gregory moves on to the playoffs. The two teams had split the season series, In the first game the North Augusta Meatheads won 76-51 and in the second game Team Gregory won by a score of 77-51 there by making the playoffs by One Point!
For those of you who didn’t make the playoffs, keep on playing, because it is not just the overall playoff champion who takes home a physical trophy, there is the coveted “Best of the Rest” or the “I Might Not Be Very Good, But I’m Better Than You” statuette up for grabs.
