The Regular Season Reaches its Close

Note: This is a copy of the email sent out to the league this week.

With one week to go, 4 teams have secured their position in the championship playoffs. The right to vie for Number 1 has been assured to Thunder Bay (clinched last week), AmIGone, Bombers, and Ice Kinkajous. Barring a series of major upsets, the 1st and 2nd seeds have been secured. The most vulnerable position this week is the 6th seed after Nocturne's Killers failed to gain traction against Thunder Bay. Separated by only 6 points, look for the big game when DaZ and Nocturne's Killers face off! Ties won't matter in this matchup - if DaZ can get a margin of victory of 4, he will be in; 3 would only make DaZ and the Killers tie in points, resulting in the Killers winning by tie-breaker.

Last week, AmIGone and Ice Kinkajous both put forth resounding victories to secure their playoff spot. Their 8-2 victories stymied the chiefs and made DaZ's work that much harder this week. Bombers edged out the Wicked Pissahs but still had enough to clinch while Thunder Bay showed no signs of mercy with a 9-1 pounding of Nocturne's Killers, despite already having clinched!

Besides the titanic battle between the Killers and DaZ, this week sees Bombers and Mighty Taco face off for seeding purposes. AmIGone and the Ice Kinkajous will do the same. The Wicked Pissahs look to avenge their losses to the chiefs (last time to achieve this victory) and Thunder Bay faces a meaningless game against Windy City Matrix.

There's two minutes left on the clock, the bases are loaded, shot clock is down to 5, the goalie has been pulled, and you only need a field goal to win. Can you bowl a strike?
